pressure decrease if the pump station is turned off?
The diaphragm tank is faulty. Check for a properly installed diaphragm tank. Has the
tank failed? Has the tank been charged to the proper
operating pressure before installation? (~10 psi below
the desired set point)
The pressure transducers are faulty. Check the pressure transducers. Does the actual
mechanical gauge pressure match the pressure displayed
on the VFDs and the PLC?
The VFDs are in Local mode. Put the VFDs in Remote mode.
