Symptoms

The valve terminal reports a solenoid coil overtemperature. A valve coil temperature exceeds the safe limit.

Possible Causes

  • Coil energized continuously beyond rated duty cycle
  • Ambient temperature too high for the coil rating
  • Coil voltage too high causing excess current

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the coil duty cycle against the rating
    Duty cycle is within limits
  2. Step 2: Verify ambient temperature is within range
    Temperature is below the rated maximum
  3. Step 3: Measure coil supply voltage
    Voltage is at the rated value

How to Reset

To reset: Allow the coil to cool, correct the cause, then clear the alarm.
