CHECKING THE DIAGNOSTIC WINDOW 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BYPASS PORT 

PTP PORT 

Connected to 

The hydraulic bypass valve 
on the side of the pump head 

The PTP push-button valve 
on the top of the pump head 

Function 

Bypass protects the pump 
from excessive pressure and 
hydraulic upset conditions 

Allows any air trapped in the 
hydraulic system to escape 

Normal operation 

No oil should move through 
this port when the pump is 
operating normally 

Small amount of oil will weep 
from port during operation, 
flow increases if PTP button 
is depressed 

Abnormal operation 

Oil is seen flowing from the 
port 

No oil moving through the 
port at any time, or product 
(not oil) is seen 

Things to check if 
abnormal operation is 
suspected  

o

  Discharge pressure too 

high 

o

  Bypass valve setpoint too 

low 

o

  Bypass valve malfunction 

o

  Other upset condition 

 

o

  PTP damaged 

o

  HPV filter screen clogged 

o

  HPV not operating 

properly 

o

  Diaphragm damaged
