Section 9: Fault Finding

General Information

If you are having problems that cannot be corrected using one of the methods described, please call Expo or
your supplier for further assistance. If the system is less than 12 months old, parts under warranty should be
returned to Expo for investigation. A full report of the fault and the system serial number should accompany
the parts.
It is common for problems with the MiniPurge

®

 system to be caused by contamination of the air supply with

oil, water or dirt. To prevent these problems, the air supply must contain a dust filter and a water filter. This
will  ensure  that  the  air  is  instrument  quality  and  protect  both  the  purge  system  and  the  equipment  being
purged. This filtration system is not provided by Expo and must be sourced separately.
Contamination  can  enter  the  system  from  a  number  of  sources.  To  prevent  this,  it  is  essential  that  the
procedures  described  in  the 

Installation

  section  are  carried  out  prior  to  first  use  of  the  system.  These

procedures should also be carried out following any disconnection and re-connection of the pipe work. Failure
to perform these procedures may cause damage to the system that will not be covered by the warranty.
The system has been designed for ease of fault finding and many of the components fitted are plug-in or
chassis mounted. Check components by substitution only after establishing that such action is necessary.
Before carrying out the fault finding procedures, ensure that:
• Both the main air pressure to the system and for Motor Purge Systems, the regulated pressure to the logic

manifold are as specified on the settings sheet.

• Air  pressure  does  not  drop  below  the  minimum  supply  pressure  during  purging;  the  majority  of  faults

reported are due to insufficient air supply during the purge cycle.

System purges correctly but trips and auto re-purges at the end of the purge time.

This is a result of the pressure within the pressurized enclosure being below the minimum pressure sensor 
setting. The pressure can be checked using a manometer. The most common causes of this problem are 
outlined below.

Fault Location

Cause

Solution

Pressurized Enclosure

There is debris on the face of the 
Relief Valve disk held in place by 
the magnet.

• Remove debris and ensure RLV 

disk is clean.

Enclosure leaking excessively.

• Ensure all doors and covers are 

closed and that all conduit and 
cable glands are properly sealed.

• Seal any other leaks.

Pressure sensing tube damaged.

• Replace tubing.

CLAPS Regulator 

The CLAPS Regulator setting is 
too low.

• Increase the setting of the CLAPS 

regulator to raise the pressure in 
the pressurized enclosure after 
purging.

• To do this, turn clockwise.

MiniPurge

 Control Unit 

the Minimum Pressure Sensor 
setting has drifted above the 
CLAPS setting

The Minimum Pressure Sensor needs 
re-calibrating.

• Refer to 

Re-calibration of Pressure

Sensors
