8 Maintenance and Repair
8.1 Driver Module Assembly
The driver module assembly moves the spool valve by means
of a differential pressure across its diaphragm. Air is routed to
the driver module from the regulator through a fl exible hose. A
barbed fi tting connects the fl exible hose to the driver module
assembly. Wires from the driver module assembly connect the
hall effect sensor and the piezo valve modulator to the main PCB
assembly.
Driver Module Assembly Replacement
To replace the driver module assembly, refer to Figures 11-15 and 25
and proceed as outlined below. The following tools are required:
• Flat plate or bar about
1
⁄8" thick
• Phillips screwdriver
• ¼ " nutdriver
WARNING: Observe precautions for handling electrostatically
sensitive devices.
1.
Make sure the valve is bypassed or in a safe condition.
2. Disconnect the power and air supply to the unit.
3. Remove the driver module cover (Figure 14), using a fl at bar or
plate in the slot to turn the cover.
4. Remove the spool valve cover by removing the screw and slid-
ing the cover assembly backwards until the tab is clear of the
slot (Figure 12). The sheet metal cap, hydrophobic fi lter, and
O-ring should be removed with the spool valve cover. It is not
necessary to take these parts out of the spool valve cover.
5. Being careful not to lose the nylon washer, remove the Phillips-
head screw that attaches the driver module to the main housing
(Figure 13).
WARNING: Spool (extending from the driver module
assembly) is easily damaged. Use extreme caution when
handling spool and spool valve block. Do not handle the
spool by the machined portions of spool. The tolerances
between the block and spool are extremely tight. Contami-
nation in the block or on the spool may cause the spool to
hang.
6. Remove the spool valve block by removing the two Phillips-head
screws and carefully sliding the block off the spool (Figure 13).
7. Carefully remove the spool by sliding the end of the spool out of
the connection clip. Excessive force may bend spool.
8. Remove the main cover.
