6 Troubleshooting / FAQ
6.1 Misuse of Product
• The product should be connected to a power supply within the rating of the product and not wired directly to the mains.
• This product should be connected to a hydraulic line; this must be within the pressure range of the unit (<2 ÷ <420 bar).
• Connection hoses should never be allowed to lie along the floor when the LPA3 is installed and in use.
• The operator should follow all standard operating procedures previously set at the operating location as well as the
procedures required by the manufacturer.
• The LPA3 is not suitable for use in an explosive environment or an ATEX zone.
• Over-tightening of test points/ hoses can damage threads causing the unit to fail.
6.2 Fault Finding
Unexpected results obtained from sample
• Check that the microbore pressure hose has been fully connected at both the system and LPA3 ends.
• High water / aeration levels
• Antifoam additive package within sample fluid
Remote Device dialogue not responding to buttons being pressed
• Check that correct COM port has been selected in the Remote Device dialogue.
• Check USB driver has been installed.
• Disconnect power supply to LPA3 and then reconnect it.
If the LPA3 has been subjected to excessive contamination and a blockage is suspected, a flush with a suitable fluid may clear
the blockage.
The standard LPA3 is fitted with Viton seals, so Petroleum Ether or Iso Propyl Alcohol may be used for this purpose, in conjunction
with the MP Filtri UK Bottle Sampling Unit. See flushing guidelines on supplied product USB.
