Operation

Checking the Solenoid Valves for Leaks

The ERTune™

program includes an automated test for the Inlet and

Exhaust valves of the controller. Refer to

Panel

section for a step-by-step explanation of the process.

Checking Other Components of the Application for Leaks

TESCOM™ includes a suite of diagnostic tools and
reference materials in

The Diagnostic Tools Tab

of the

ERTune™

program. Reference
