Malfunctions
HON 5020 gas pressure regulator with HON 630 pilot

Malfunction
Possible causes
Correction
Leaks on the inside
Faulty actuator assembly dia-
phragm
Check the actuator assembly’s
diaphragm for damage
Faulty pilot diaphragm
Check the pilot’s
diaphragm for
damage
Faulty pilot piston
Check the pilot’s piston for damage
The flow restrictor’s screws are not
tightened properly
Check the flow restrictor’s screws
to make sure they have a tight fit
Unstable outlet pressure
behavior (oscillations)
The regulator is not being operated
with sufficient differential pressure
Increase the differential pressure
with the regulator
The actuator assembly’s diaphragm
is too soft
Check the actuator assembly’s
diaphragm; contact the manufac-
turer if necessary
Pilot not compatible with applica-
tion
Contact the manufacturer
The amplifying valve setting is not
