SVP Controller Operation Manual
Part No.: 44200004 - Revision 2
5.2.3 Sensor stuck
This error message means that one of the sensors is triggered and is
sending the signal to controller at the beginning of the proving run. To clear
the error check if:
the optical switches are functioning (using the dashboard function –
see 5.3.1),
ensuring that the flag is not triggering one of the optical switches
(if repositioning is required user can use dashboard function – “Motor
run command” to relocate the piston assembly),
motor stop switch is functioning (using the dashboard function –
see 5.3.1),

cause the state to change to “Low”.
