Carel evd
Hello,
I have a Carel EVD expansion valva electronic.
I have a low pressure and a high pressure probe, and suction and liquid sensor ntc.
I have all the time a wrong value with the high pressure probe. The others are ok.
The high pressure probe is parallel on the low pressure, and S3.
The probe is correct. Try with another is the same.
Carel dont answer me.
Anybody an idea?

Re: Carel evd
S1 and S3 are the same type: ratiometric

Re: Carel evd
Is the controller set to match the sensor?

Re: Carel evd
Yes.
The supplier has a lab box with the valve and sensors. He has the same problem.
Changing the parameters sensor active or not doesnt help

Re: Carel evd
Okay, so if the components and cabling are correct then we need to look at the mechanics.
How does the sensor reading compare with actual pressure?
Is the sensor connection to the pipework good? By this I mean is the valve pin depressed properly by the sensor when it is screwed on. Test it by fitting a tee-piece to the access port and fit your sensor to test both items.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Carel evd
Can you measure the probe DC output voltage between S3 and Gnd?

Re: Carel evd

Re: Carel evd
Is the correct scale range for the sensor selected and set on the controller?
Sorry, second question - what are the ranges of the high and low pressure sensors?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Carel evd
The supplier gave me this: low pressure 4-20ma -0,5 / 7 bar high pr 4-20ma 0 / 30 bar.
In the configuration if i want to change S3 it always go back to “not used”.
I measure 8,5 V between GND and S3 display shows 33,7 bar. Real i have 17 bar.
measure: S1. 2,45 V 3,5 bar display
S2. 2,45 V 6’C display
S4. 1,65 V 22’C display
Maybe i have to use 0-5 V?
The supplier gave me for another installation for low pressure 0-5 V and high pressure 4-20 mA!
I guess it have to be two of the same sorts, not?
And wich one, V or mA?
Probe 4 is in programmation also “not used” and impossable to change.
And this probe measure good.
Thanks
Happy holidays!

Re: Carel evd
So you do NOT have ratiomatic sensors, they are 4-20ma sensors.
Yes, you must use two of the same sensor type.
Set the controller accordingly.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Carel evd
The both sensors are 4-20mA.
What is ratiometric? Is this the 0-5V?

Re: Carel evd
Yes, see your parameter list that you posted earlier in post #2

Re: Carel evd
Hello
Both changed to 0-5V. Now it is ok.
Thanks a lot.
Happy new year.
