j Description of Occurrence:

During a routine instrument surveillance test the setpoint of dPIS-2-14-438 was found to have drifted outside the Technical Specification limits of 5 + 1 5 psid. The switch was found to trip at 6.7 psid.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

The cause of this setpoint failure is attributed to slight setpoint drift.

Analysis of Occurrence:

Due to the slight magnitude of the setpoint deviation, this occurrence has minimal safety implications.

Corrective Action:

The switch was immediately recalibrated and returned to service.

Very truly yours, J)V ' uw
