5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Some basic types of problems that can occur in the field are listed as follows:
Unit dead, no motor movement
Measure across power terminals TB2-4 & -5 with a DVM. The reading should be 12 or 24 V
dc depending upon model. Incorrect or no voltage indicates an external supply problem. If
proper voltage is present, check Fuse F1 on the Termination Board. Fuse F1 should be a
1A, 250 V, 3AG type. If replacement fuses continue to blow, a short may be present at the
field wiring terminals or in the PC boards.
Output drift on Analog model
Check for open signal lead at input terminals TB1-2 & -3. Measure across terminals with a
DVM and check for proper voltage range.
Output stays constant with input change
If Guard mode is used, check for proper signal at Guard terminals TB1-5 & -5. If Guard is
not used, make sure SW2-6 is in the CLOSE position.
Severe output tracking errors on Analog model
Check setting of switches SW1 (1-5). If any are set to Pulse Increment mode, the output will
not balance properly. These switches must be set OPEN for Analog models.
Noisy or Erratic Output on Raise Lower Model
Try SW1-8 in both positions and choose the one with the lowest noise level. For Analog
models, this switch must be set OPEN.
Raise or Lower function does not work on Raise/Lower model
Check voltage at Raise or Lower terminals TB1 (1-4) with voltmeter during activation. Also
check across Guard terminals TB1-5 & -6, if used. If no voltage change occurs at any given
input, check for broken signal leads or a defect in the external device.
Output pressure does not rise above certain point
A high limit may be set too low or the pressure regulator vent may be restricted. Also check
for water or oil in pressure lines.
Output pressure drops off with constant level input
Check for leaks in pressure lines or loose fittings.
