Solenoid Maintenance
Introduction
The solenoids may be manually driven to check their operation. This makes fault finding easier to help determine if the fault is electrical or mechanical. Should a solenoid become faulty or dysfunctional it may be replaced using the procedure outlined below

Procedure
Manual Over-Ride
1. Find a small pointed instrument.
2. Press the orange button to activate the solenoid.
Solenoid Replacement
1. Remove the air supply from the gauge.
2. Loosen the Mounting Clamp at one end.
3. Gently part the solenoid group around the faulty solenoid.
4. Clip it off the Din Rail.
5. Re-install the new solenoid.
(Ensure the Circular Tube Gaskets (3 per side) all slide back in when you press the group together again)
6. Tighten the Mounting Clamp.
7. Re-connect the air supply and check for leaks
If leaks are detected, check the tube gaskets are oriented correctly, the solenoids a re all pressed tightly together and the Mounting Clamp is tightened to hold them in place.
