TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT NOTE: operations involving replacement of essential components must be carried out at our workshop, especially
for instruments with flameproof certificate; this is to guarantee the user the total and correct restoration of the product original
characteristics.
MALFUNCTION
 Permanent deformation of the sensitive element due
Set point shift to fatigue or non-tolerated overages.
 Variation of the elastic features of the sensitive ele-
ment due to its chemical corrosion.
 O-ring wear (only MWH and MAH)
 O-ring wear (only MWH and MAH)
Poor repeatability
 Air bubbles or condensation (only for types with pres-
sure <1 bar).
 Clogged or obstructed connection line.
Slow response  Root valve partially closed.
 Too viscous fluid.
No actuation or  Root valve closed.
undue actuation  Microswitch contacts damaged.
 Loosened electrical joints.
 Interrupted or short-circuited electrical line.
Undue actuation  Accidental shocks or excessive mechanical vibra-
tions.
