6. Fault finding

6.1 Fault finding and LEDs

Below is stated the meaning of the LEDs' indications for fault finding in connection with the operation of the 

Think

Top

®

.

Red flashing:

Unit in set-up mode or internal software fault.
If internal software fault, re-programme unit.

Red steady:

Unit in set-up mode or internal hardware fault.
If internal hardware fault, check if magnet is in range and check correct wiring.

1. Orange flashing:

Time for maintenance has run out.
The unit has been self-adjusted into a maintenance alert condition.
Valve maintenance is strongly recommended. After maintenance: Disabling of
maintenance/self-adjustment function is required before setting new position,
however, it is strongly recommended to make a complete new set-up after valve
maintenance.

2. Orange steady,
    yellow flashing
    (A and/or B):

The unit has been self-adjusted into a maintenance alarm condition and the feedback
is lost (a minimum of seal left).
Valve maintenance is required. After maintenance: Disabling of the self-adjustment
function is required before setting new position, however, it is strongly
recommended to make a complete new set up after valve maintenance.

NOTE!

The maintenance indicator lighting up, and an open or closed light
flashing.....

= Note the following:

Self-adjustment programme is only valid for 

SRC/ARC

 valves, 

do not use

the programme for other valve types

.

Use tolerance/valve type 1.

In conjunction with valve type change-over; 21, 22, 31 and 32, the open
position must be defined as the upper sensor position (when the magnet is
in the highest position).

A loose top, magnet holder or sensor system can also generate the alert/
alarm condition.

Removing a 

Think

with self-adjust activated, will immediately generate

an alarm condition! If the 

Think

Top

® 

has to be removed, not because of a

valve maintenance issue, but for some other reasons, and you want to store
the already adjusted data - disable the self-adjust function before removing
the 

Think

Top

® 

and enable it again once the 

Think

Top

® 

is back on the

actuator.

After valve maintenance a disabling of the self-adjustment function is
required before setting a new position, however, it is strongly recommended
to make a complete new set-up (disable all functions in step 2 valve type -
and make a complete new set-up).
