To fix a pressure reading that is wrong or negative on your VAT Control Unit, check the electrical connections, verify the valve version and configuration, perform ZERO after reaching base pressure, and verify the sensor supply voltage. The issue may stem from unconnected sensors, an incorrect sensor version, an unperformed ZERO, or insufficient sensor power.
Why is the VAT 612 pressure reading wrong or negative?
If the pressure reading on your VAT Control Unit is incorrect or negative, check the sensor connections according to the electrical connection guidelines. For a 2-sensor version, verify the configuration. Perform ZERO after reaching the base pressure, and ensure the sensor power supply provides sufficient power.
What to do if VAT Control Unit PRESSURE CONTROL does not work?
If PRESSURE CONTROL on your VAT Control Unit isn't functioning, ensure that safety mode is inactive (no 'D' on the display) and PRESSURE CONTROL mode is selected (check for 'P' on the display). Also, make sure you have performed the LEARN procedure. Power should be supplied to the motor according to the electrical connection details.
What does it mean if VAT 612 Control Unit display shows «E 40» and position is 009999?
If the display shows «E 40» and the position is 009999, it indicates a fatal error where a motor driver failure has been detected. To resolve this: - Replace the control and actuating unit according to «Maintenance procedure».
Why does ZERO not work on my VAT 612?
If the VAT Control Unit ZERO does not work, OPEN the VALVE and bring the chamber to base pressure before performing ZERO. If ZERO is disabled, enable it, referring to «Valve configuration» for details.
Why VAT Control Unit CLOSE VALVE does not work?
If the CLOSE VALVE function isn't working, it might be because safety mode is active or maintenance mode is active. To solve this: - Provide power to the motor to allow for operation. - Refer to “Display shows «M C»” in this table.
Why PRESSURE CONTROL does not work on VAT Control Unit?
To resolve the issue of PRESSURE CONTROL not working on your VAT Control Unit, ensure that power is supplied to the motor. Select PRESSURE CONTROL mode and perform LEARN. The problem may be due to safety mode being active, PRESSURE CONTROL not being selected, or LEARN not being completed.
Why is the VAT Control Unit PRESSURE CONTROL not optimal?
PRESSURE CONTROL might not be optimal due to several reasons. Perform the setup procedure completely. Ensure that you have performed LEARN and ZERO before LEARN. If LEARN was interrupted, repeat it with stable gas flow. Tune the valve for your application. Use a sensor with a suitable range, ensuring the controlled pressure is between 3% and 98% of the sensor's full scale. Also, make sure a shielded sensor cable is used to minimize noise.
What to do if VAT 612 display shows «E 40»?
If the display shows «E 40» on your VAT Control Unit, indicating a fatal error related to motor driver failure, replace the control and actuating unit according to «Maintenance procedure».
What does error E21 mean on VAT 612 Control Unit display?
If your VAT Control Unit displays 'E 21' and the position '009999' (fatal error - rotation angle of valve plate limited during power up), check if the valve plate is centric adjusted, if the valve unit is heavily contaminated or if the valve plate is mechanically obstructed. Adjust the valve plate according to the maintenance procedure, clean the valve unit, and resolve any obstructions. Reset the control unit by cycling the power off and on, or send a reset command locally via the service port with CV/CPA/Service Box2.
