SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
LINE PRESSURE RISES ABOVE
UNLOAD SETTING Pressure Sensor P2 at Fault Check connections from trans---
ducer. If adequate, replace
transducer.
Unloading Device (i.e., Blowdown Check operation of unloading device
Valve, Sullicon Actuator, Optional
Spiral Valve) Failed to Operate
Solenoid Valve Failed Check operation of solenoid valve.

Control Air Signal Leaks Check tubework feeding control signal
for leaks.
Control Air Signal Filter Clogged See compressor Operator’s Manual for filter
assembly service.
EXCESSIVE FLUID CONSUMPTION Clogged Return Line Strainer or Orifice Clean strainer --- screen an o --- ring replacement
kit available. Clean orifice.
Damaged or Improperly Gasketed
Separator Elements Inspect separator elements and gaskets.
Replace if damaged.
Fluid System Leaks Check tube/pipework for leaks.
Fluid Level Too High Drain excess fluid.
Excessive Fluid Foaming Drain and change fluid.

F(41
_
C) remote intake of process and/or
cooling air.
Fluid Level in Sump is Too Low Check/correct fluid level.
Thermal Valve Malfunctioned Check/replace thermal valve.
Cooler Fins are Dirty Clean cooler fins.
Water Flow is Low (water---cooled Check cooling water supply (i.e.,
packages only) closed valves).
Water Temperature is High (water--- Increase water flow, lower water
cooled packages only) temperature.
Cooler is Plugged (water---cooled Clean tubes and/or shell --- if tube
packages only) p lugging persists, provide cleaner
water.
Temperature RTD Malfunction Check connections from RTD.
If adequate, replace RTD.
P1 HI Message P1 MAX --- 3 psi (.2 Bar) Exceeded
for Pre ---Alarm
P1 MAX Exceeded for Shutdown
Discharge Pressure Exceeded
Shutdown Level Because:
Unloading Device (i.e., Blowdown Check operation of unloading device
Valve, Sullicon Actuator, Optional .
Spiral Valve) Failed to Operate
Pressure Regulator Maladjusted Check operation of pressure regulator.
Solenoid Valve Failed Check operation of solenoid valve
