The solenoid test performs a movement or pressure drop of the system to verify the operation of the
solenoid operated valve, SOV. The test can be initiated from the test menu, a communication
protocol or a digital input depending on the configuration.
System without pressure sensor: System is detecting movement in the system to verify SOV
performance.
System with pressure sensor: System is detecting pressure drop in the system to verify SOV
performance.
Below is a signature from a typical solenoid test shown, including definitions on the different terms
