Table 18. Troubleshooting Guide (Continued)

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Disagreement between
measurements made by
different ranges at the same
pressure is not zero but an
autozero routine was just
executed.

Readings by different ranges at
the same pressure can
disagree even after a valid
autozero due to ZNATERR.

Check that ZOFFSET value is
in tolerance and verify value of
ZNATERR. (Sections 3.4.1,
1.2.2.1, 5.2.5).

Will not accept pressure
command.

Target exceeds UL and/or
current range.

Check UL (Section 3.2.4) and
range (Section 3.2.1).

Will not set pressure.

There is a very large leak in
the test system or TEST port is
not connected.

Correct leak.

Poor pressure control at low
gauge pressure.

Vacuum source on exhaust is
needed.

Connect vacuum source to
exhaust (Sections 2.3.5, 3.3.1).

Poor pressure control at low
pressures.

ControlRef not properly set to
reflect pressure conditions at
EXHAUST port.

Set ControlRef properly
(Section 3.3.1).

Poor pressure control at
pressures under atmosphere or
inability to reach pressures
under atmosphere.

Vacuum supply is incorrectly
connected, is not low enough
or is unstable.

Correct vacuum supply
(Sections 2.3.5, 3.3.1).

Poor pressure control
characterized by “hunting”
around target.

Pneumatic control module
needs to be reconfigured after
checking all other possibilities.

Reconfigure control module
(Section 5.5).

Poor pressure control
characterized by control
interrupting near the target
pressure.

Control mode is set to static
rather than dynamic.

Set control mode to dynamic
(Sections 3.1.2.3, 3.2.3).

Poor pressure control
characterized by excessive
overshooting and/or
undershooting, inability to lock
on target.

There is a restriction in the test
connection between the
PPC2+ and the test.

Remove the restriction to allow
free flow between the PPC2+
and the test .

Poor pressure control
characterized by excessive
overshooting and/or
undershooting, inability to lock
on target.

A filter in the PPC2+, the SPLT
or an accessory is dirty and
causing a restriction.

Clean and dry or replace the
filter element.
