PRESSURE CONTROLLER operating manual

Troubleshooting

If you run into trouble with your device’s installation or operation, please

get in touch with us (see

page 2

). You’ll also find help on our website

alicat.com

and in the pages that follow.

General Use

Issue:

My controller does not turn on or has trouble staying on.

Action:

Check power and ground connections. Refer to the technical spec-

ifications to ensure you have the proper power for your model.

Issue:

The buttons do not work, and the screen shows

LCK

Action:

The pressure controller buttons were locked out via a serial command.

Press and hold all four outer buttons to unlock the interface.

Issue:

I can’t read the display easily.

Action:

During daytime, increase the visibility of the display by increasing

the contrast (

). For low-light conditions, push the logo button located

below the display to turn on the backlight (see

page 7

Issue:

The analog output signal indicates values lower than what appears

on my instrument’s display.

Action:

Analog signal voltage degrades over long distances. You can minimize

this effect by using wires with a heavier gauge, especially in the

ground wire.

Issue:

How often do I need to calibrate my pressure controller?

Action:

Annual recalibrations are recommended. Check your pressure control-

ler’s last calibration date by selecting

DEVICE

INFO

. If

it is time to recalibrate, request a recalibration at

alicat.com/service

or get in touch with support (see

page 2

Issue:

I dropped my controller. Is it OK? Do I need to recalibrate?

Action:

If it turns on and appears to respond normally, then it is probably OK.

It may or may not need a recalibration. Give it a tare, and compare it

against a known good standard. If it checks out, keep using it, but

tell us about the drop at your next annual recalibration so we can

check it out for you.

Issue:

How can I see pressure in different units?

Action:

From the Main Menu, select

BASIC

this menu, you can adjust pressure units. For more information, see
