Samson 373 Series Operating Instructions

Tests
− 'Supply pressure/friction': An insufcient
supply pressure or excessive friction oc-
curred during the test.
− 'Difference w - step start too high': The
'Step start' is outside the range of oper-
ating point ± 'Tolerance limit of step re-
sponse'.
− 'Reference variable was changed': The
test was started according to a schedule
(time-controlled). Due to a set point
change before the step was started, the
'Step start' is outside the range of the op-
erating point ± 'Tolerance limit of step re-
sponse'.
− 'Current too low' (not Types3730-4/-5)
The 'Measured data storage out of memory'
reading (Maintenance alarm) is generated
when the 'Scan rate' is too low. After record-
ing 100 measured values per variable, log-
ging is stopped, but the test continues until it
is completed.
After the partial stroke test is canceled, the
'Status of partial stroke test' reading indi-
cates 'Not successful'. The reason for cancel-
lation is marked by the 'Maintenance alarm'
message in the Analysis of measured data
folder (> Current test).
Dening parameters
1. Dene parameters for partial stroke test.
See Note concerning setting the PST di-
agnostic parameters on page79.
2. Dene parameters for cancellation con-
ditions.
3. Select classication for status message.
4. Start the partial stroke test.
The 'Test information' status indicates
'Test active'. 'd4' and 'tEST' are indicated
in alternating sequence on the positioner
display. 'Function check'
is activated
as the condensed state.
