Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
System Alarm: Pulse Time
Adjusted
System running in remote mode faster
than programmed parameters
If running the system in the external mode:
• Verify that the length of the initiate signal is greater
than the programmed RAMP > OPEN prole time.
• Verify that the CYCLE time is greater than the
programmed RAMP > OPEN / CLOSE prole
times.
PULSE time exceeds operating limits The PULSE time is less than the RAMP > OPEN
prole time. Correct the PULSE setting.
The programmed RAMP > OPEN prole time is
greater than the PULSE time. Correct the RAMP >
OPEN prole time.
CYCLE time exceeds operating limits The CYCLE time entered is less than the
programmed RAMP > OPEN and CLOSE times
combined. Correct the CYCLE setting.
Prole settings (RAMP > OPEN / CLOSE
times) incorrectly programmed
The programmed RAMP > OPEN / CLOSE prole
times are less than the PULSE / CYCLE times.
Correct the RAMP > OPEN / CLOSE prole times.
System Alarm: Driver Shut
Off
System running in remote mode faster
than programmed parameters
If running the system in the external mode:
• Verify that the length of the initiate signal is greater

• Verify that the CYCLE time is greater than the
programmed RAMP > OPEN / CLOSE prole
times.
• Verify that the signal is absolutely a clean, bounce-
free signal.
System (valve) running faster than 1000 Hz Reduce the operating frequency of the valve.
