Description

With a minimum control output, the flow rate was measured to be higher than the setpoint (requested flow). The Max. control out (ms) parameter affects the sensitivity of this alarm. This might be caused by a leaking or broken air line between the flow sensor and the applicator. The I/P transducer might be stuck open. The air booster might be stuck open or might be leaking. This might be caused by a faulty air flow sensor (reading more flow than there really is). Note: AccuAir temporarily and automatically changes to Open Loop when this alarm occurs.
