Symptoms

The valve terminal reports a flow sensor fault. A pneumatic flow sensor is not reading correctly.

Possible Causes

  • Sensor element contaminated or coated
  • Sensor calibration drift from reference
  • Sensor wiring or transmitter fault

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Clean the flow sensor element
    Element is clean and unobstructed
  2. Step 2: Recalibrate against a known flow rate
    Reading matches the reference
  3. Step 3: Test the transmitter output signal
    Signal corresponds to the actual flow

How to Reset

To reset: Repair and recalibrate the flow sensor, then clear the alarm.
