PST error: Timeout during partial stroke

Description

The valve did not move the desired PST travel before the PST timeout

Trouble shooting

This error can occur if:

•

The valve gets stuck during the test, due to an obstruction in the
hydraulic/pneumatic system

•

The valve is moving slow

It can be solved by:

•

Resolve the mechanical problem

•

Increasing the PST timeout
