What to do if Cameron Switch gives erratic indication?
- S
  Sandra CarlsonAug 18, 2025
  If your Cameron Switch gives an erratic indication, the issue might stem from several causes. If the flow is pulsating, for the M199 DPU, adjust the dampening. For all others, install a dampening device upstream of the DPU run. Ensure there isn't any liquid (in gas service) or gas bubble (in liquid service) trapped in the piping; if so, remove it. If you have a vapor generator, check that it is correctly installed; if not, re-pipe it. Remove any gas trapped in the DPU HP or LP housing, and adjust or clean any dragging or dirty linkage. If the pointer is dragging on the scaleplate, adjust its position. If there is reference leg gassy or liquid vaporizing, see piping instructions in DPU Manual. Finally, clean obstructed bellows.

  If your Cameron Switch shows a high indication, the problem could be due to a few reasons. Check if the orifice is partially restricted or too small; if so, clean it out or replace it. Inspect the LP side of the piping for leaks and repair them. Additionally, vent the housing to remove any trapped gas (in liquid service) or liquid (in gas service). If there's an LP housing gasket leak, replace the gasket. If the range spring is broken or the DPU has been tampered with, the BUA may need to be returned for repair.
