If the VAT Control Unit's POSITION CONTROL does not work, ensure that safety mode is not active by checking for a 'D' on the display and providing power to the motor if necessary. Also, verify that POSITION CONTROL mode is selected, which should be indicated by a 'V' on the display. If not, select POSITION CONTROL mode.
What does «E 40» error mean on VAT Control Unit?
If the VAT Control Unit display shows «E 40», it indicates a fatal error related to motor driver failure. The solution is to replace the control unit.
What does «SR» mean on my VAT Control Unit display?
If the VAT Control Unit displays «SR» (Service Request), it indicates that the valve unit is heavily contaminated or the gate seal is severely sticking. To resolve this, clean the valve and/or replace the gate seal.
Why is pressure not ‘0’ after ZERO on VAT 651?
If the pressure is not ‘0’ after performing ZERO on the VAT Control Unit, it could be due to sensor voltage shifting. Wait until the sensor stabilizes before performing ZERO. Also, ensure the system is pumped to base pressure. If the sensor offset voltage exceeds ±1.4V, replace the pressure gauge.
