ER1200 Symptom

Remedy

8

Form # 1925     Rev. 4/06     TESCOM

Unable to maintain outlet
pressure

Positive output pressure
with zero setpoint

Outlet pressure is equal
to inlet pressure 

Outlet pressure does not
follow setpoint changes

Outlet pressure becomes
uncontrollable (unstable
or unable to establish
setpoint)

ER1200 exhaust valve
leaking

ER1200 supply pressure is
not high enough

ER1200 inlet solenoid valve
leaking

ER1200 supply pressure
exceeds the maximum

ER1200 not getting a
feedback signal

ER1200 jumpers not
configured correctly

ER1200 GAIN, INTEGRAL,
or DEADBAND are out of
adjustment

The feedback signal reacts to
a process change at a slower
bandwidth than the ER1200
(25 milliseconds)

There are leaks in the
downstream pressure line

The system design has
components that can cause a
delay in down stream
transducer response while
the up stream pressure is
allowed to build up (pressure
differential between
measurement point and
source)

Return unit to factory for
replacement of valve

Check the incoming pressure
to the ER1200 and ensure that
it is between 10 to 20 PSIG
above the maximum desired
output pressure

Return unit to factory for
replacement of valve

Lower supply pressure to less
than 115 PSIG

Check transducer wiring and
feedback jumper settings 

Reconfigure jumper settings
according to page

Read TUNING THE ER1200

(page 6)

in this manual and

readjust the gain and pots per
that section

Replace the transducer with
one that has a full range
response time at least as fast
as that of the ER1200

Locate and eliminate all leaks

Eliminate the flow restriction, or
slow down the ER1200
response time by restricting the
flow of supply pressure into the
ER1200
