​Valve Alarm
A valve alarm is indicated by a rapid red
flashing light on the valve controller and may produce notifications if they
have been defined. This alarm will be produced if a valve connection is
disconnected, valve failed open, valve failed close. A valve failure open/close
is due to a valve not making the internal end switch within the actuator.
Troubleshooting
- Valve Disconnected-Indicated
by a rapid red flash on the valve controller.
- Power Cycle-Press
and hold the open/close buttons simultaneously on the valve controller
for ~12secs. till you hear a second beep.
- Valves automatically register in the system when
connected. If a valve is connected in the wrong slot on a valve
controller, you may need to remove it from the UI, which will remove the
valve disconnected alarm.
- Verify that the physical connections are in the
correct slots by referencing the Trident Management Studio. Looking at
the valve controller in the UI, reference the connection tabs, verifying
the names. Make sure the cables are physically connected in the correct
slots (Slot 1 on top, 2 on bottom.
- If a connection is in alarm and doesn't have a name
within the UI, and there is no connection physically you will need to
remove it from the UI.
- In the UI, under the proper connection tab of the
valve controller, select remove. Then perform a power
cycle on the device.
- Valve Failure-Failed Open/Valve Failed Close
- Power Cycle-Press
and hold the open/close buttons simultaneously on the valve controller
for ~12secs. till you hear a second beep.
- Physically check that the valve actuator is driving.
- Valves larger than 1.25" have an indicator knob
on the actuator and a brass plunger. Make sure the brass plunger is out
and gears engaged. You should not be able to rotate the knob.
