7. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTION

Fluid pressure too low

Increase fluid pressure

Operating pressure too low

Increase air pressure to 70 psi (4.8 bars)

No Fluid Flow

Dispense tip clogged

Replaced tip

Fluid cured in valve chamber

Clean valve thoroughly

The stroke adjustment is fully closed

Open stroke adjustment counterclockwise. One full turn max.

Fluid pressure fluctuating

Make sure fluid pressure is constant

Valve operating pressure is too low

Increased valve pressure to 70 psi (4.8 bars) Check to make sure the valve controller is providing a consistent output

Inconsistent Fluid Flow

Valve open time is not consistent

Air trapped in fluid housing

Purge valve

Fluid drools after the valve closes, eventually stopping

Air trapped in fluid housing

Purge valve

Worn diaphragm

Replace diaphragm

Material build up in fluid housing Fluid pressure exceeds 70 psi (4.8 bars) Valve re-assembled incorrectly after cleaning

Clean fluid housing

Steady Drip

Lower fluid pressure

Refer to Maintenance section

Fluid leaks between diaphragm and fluid housing Mounting screws loose

Tighten screws

Fluid leaks out of bleed hole Diaphragm ruptured

Replace diaphragm
