Troubleshooting
5-2  SVP Controller Operation Manual   Part No.: 44200004 - Revision 2
 
  5.2.3  Sensor stuck
This error message means that one of the sensors is triggered and is 
sending the signal to controller at the beginning of the proving run. To clear 
the error check if:
   the optical switches are functioning (using the dashboard function – 
see 5.3.1), 
   ensuring that the flag is not triggering one of the optical switches 
(if repositioning is required user can use dashboard function – “Motor 
run command” to relocate the piston assembly),
   motor stop switch is functioning (using the dashboard function – 
see 5.3.1),
 5.2.4  Service due
The prover is due for service as determined by the entry at Main Menu/
Configuration/Alarms/Service Due Reminder. 
 5.3  Diagnostics
There are several screens inside the Main Menu/Diagnostics menu to aid 
in troubleshooting.
 5.3.1  Dashboard 
The dashboard screen allows you to verify the status of the inputs and 
outputs of the SVP Controller. Each output function can be tested by 
selecting it and activating it.

A properly functioning optical switch will normally indicate “High” at the 
dashboard screen. Inserting an opaque flag into the optical switch will 
cause the state to change to “Low”.
