What to do if the handtmann Control Unit safety relief valve does not open?

If the handtmann Control Unit's pneumatic safety relief valve doesn't open, several factors could be at play. It might be due to a jammed valve seat, which can be resolved by manually lifting the valve and cleaning the valve seat. Ensure the pressure setting is correct and sufficient for opening. The valve rod's mobility should be checked manually. Confirm that the compressed air supply is at least 5 bar and inspect the compressed air hose. A faulty solenoid valve or electrical control could also be the cause, so check the solenoid valve.
