Color Change Solenoid Valves
NOTE: Refer to the Schematic Diagrams, page 14. If the color change valves are not turning on or off correctly, it could be caused by one of the following.

high or too low. | Do not go below 75 psi (0.52 MPa, 5.2 bar) or above 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar). |

2. Air or electrical lines dam- | Visually inspect air and electrical lines for kinks, damage, or loose connec- |

3. Solenoid failure. | Check the applicable solenoid’s LED (see FIG. 7 and Table 4). If lit, proceed |
| with the following checks. If not lit, go to Cause 4. |
| Remove the connector for the applicable solenoid and measure voltage across |

| pressing and releasing solenoid valve override buttons. FIG. 6. |
| Valves should snap open and shut quickly. If the valves actuate slowly, it could |
| be caused by: |
| • Air pressure to the valve actuators is too low. See Cause 1. |
| • Solenoid is clogged. Make sure air supply has 10 micron filter installed. |
| • Something is restricting the solenoid or tubing. Check for air output from air |
| line for corresponding solenoid when valve is actuated. Clear restriction. |

| color change board. |
| If D9 and D10 are not lit: |
| • Check if the cable is disconnected or damaged. |
| • Check the fluid station control board (see the ProMix 2KS |
| Manual). |
