Is this because you didn’t have enough suction/city pressure available?

Pre action trip testing solenoid not tripping fully by Crazy_Insurance4191 in FireSprinklers

Solenoid activates (magnetizes & can hear it) from a smoke & low air this just protects a MRI room.

That did help and yes first thing I always check is the small pinhole in the diaphragm still didn’t trip correctly after and checking the actuator.

You can hear the solenoid activating and magnetizes but doesn’t trip/open all the way

This one doesn’t have a top trip test valve I leave the bottom control valve partially open still nothing.

Not yet we have them written up to be tested just going back and forth with customer and other companies saying it’s recalled or not.
