forced ON. If the desired flow is achieved while
in this mode of operation, the fluid restriction is located
further downstream to the applicator.
4. Flow Meter Feedback
- Is flow being indicated on the controller?
If it is obvious that material is flowing through the system
(from the GUN or calibration ports if used), but the controller
indicates no flow, then this indicates that the controller is
not detecting flow meter pulses. This could be caused by
one of the following:
• Flow meter gear stuck
• Bad flow meter sensor
• Disconnected or damaged fiber-optic
cable
• Bad fiber-optic receiver
• Bad input on the CHANNEL MODULE
• Fiber-optic flow meter transmitter battery
has expired. Life expectancy is two years
minimum.
Corrective Action:
Flow Meter:
Disassemble, clean, and inspect the flow meter.
Refer to instructions supplied with the meter.
Try connecting the flow meter in question to a fiber-optic
cable from a properly functioning CHANNEL. If fluid flow
is now observed, then the flow meter and pickup sensor
are functioning properly.
Fiber-Optic Cable:
Simply shine a light into one end of
the cable and have someone observe the opposite end. If
light is visible through the cable then it is probably good,
although it is possible that the cable is damaged and will
not conduct enough light to operate properly.
Fiber-Optic Detector:
With fluid flowing, observe the LED
located on the fiber-optic receiver. The LED is an indication
that fluid is flowing and pulses are being received from the
flow meter. If the LED is not ON, then replace or swap the
fiber-optic receiver and try again.
If everything checks good but no fluid flow is displayed,
replace the CHANNEL MODULE. Make sure that the
hardware settings located on the module are configured
identically to the one being replaced.
5. Transducer Failure
Corrective Action:
Perform the following with the GUN OFF and calibration
valves closed. Place a pressure gage (if one does not
already exist) in the pilot line between the transducer and
the fluid regulator. Make sure that the air supply pressure
to the transducer is at least 100 psi. Go to the FORCE I/O menu
for the CHANNEL in question. Force Control Output voltage
(or 4-20 ma) to several different values and observe the
pressure gauge. Reference "Analog Sealing" chart in this
section for correct values.
If the transducer does not produce the proper pressures,
check for air leaks in the air pilot tube, transducer and fluid
regulator. The transducers are very low volume devices and
are designed for non-flow, or dead-headed operation. Also,
observe the pressure gauge for oscillation and listen to the
transducer for fluttering sounds. These are other indications
that there may be air leaks in the system.
Another method for isolating small air leaks is to spray or
dab a small amount of a soap and water solution around
the fittings or valves and look for the continuous formation
of air bubbles.
