3. OPERATION

3.4.4.1OVER PRESSURE FUNCTION

In addition to the UL function, RPM4 has an over pressure function.

The over pressure function executes when a Q-RPT measures a pressure that is 104 % of its default span. The G15K and BG15K Q-RPTs also have a negative over pressure function. The negative over pressure function executes when the Q-RPT measures a pressure less than - 17.5 kPa (- 2.3 psi).

The over pressure function causes the measured pressure display to flash. If the Q-RPT module is equipped with SDS, SDS closes shutting off the TEST(-)port (see Section 3.2.7). If the Q-RPT is a Gxxx or BGxxx, the TEST(+)/TEST(-)bypass valve is opened (see Section 5.6, Figure 8). The overpressure function also logs the time and date of the overpressure condition in both user and factory logs to assist in incident diagnosis (see Section 3.5.7.5).

To recover from an overpressure condition, cycle RPM4 power. Be sure to correct the condition that caused the overpressure before cycling power.

measurement mode ON/OFF, direct control of Lo Vent valve(s), incident log viewing (see

 

Section 3.5.7).
