Operators may believe “trusted” instruments to the exclusion of other information. Here you must learn to separate the “signal” from the “noise” and be sure that your own biases do not add further interference. 5 DEGREE OF GENERALITY When you define the problem, consider the degree of generality with which it is reported. For example, an operator may say that a control valve has failed shut, thus giving you a definite hardware target to investigate. But if the operator says that the level in tank 201 “isn’t working right,” which is more vague, it could mean a number of problems—even something to do with the process itself.

Document the repair so that future troubleshooting is made easier. This is particularly true if the problem is unusual or unique. In repairing an instrument or system, take care not to damage it or leave it in a manner that might cause problems later. For example, be sure to tighten all terminal screws and installation bolts, replace and secure all covers, and check for damaged insulation, screws, or bolts. 5. 1 STEP 1: Define the Problem The reporting party (an operator) states that the level in tank 201 (illustrated in Figure 4-5) is too low and the automatic control loop LIC201 is not responding to the problem.
