1.  Current source too low 
2.  Voltage of current source is too low 
3.  Incorrect wiring polarity 

1.  Verify current source supplies at least 3,8 mA. 
2.  Verify voltage source supplies at least 10VDC. 
3.  Check wiring for correct polarity.

1.  Maximum allowable current source rate of change is 

924 mA per second. 

2.  Check cable size, length and capacitance. See 

Section 7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. 

3.  Verify laptop battery is not low. 
4.  Must use HART compatible I.S. barrier. 
5.  Use the HART filter (VHF) available from Flowserve 

(FLS part-No. 10156843) See Figure 8:  HART 
Filter on page 17.  Alternatively, a 250

 and a 22 

µF capacitor, installed according to the following 
schematic drawing can be used to establish 
communication. 

 

 

Unit does not respond 
to analog commands. 

1.  The positioner is in digital 

command mode. 

2.  An error occurred during 

calibration. 

1.  Switch to analog command mode using the 

procedure outlined in Section 9.3 Command 
Source Reset, use the ValveSight DTM, or 
use a handheld communicator. 

2.  Check Status Codes.  Correct calibration 

error.  Recalibrate. 

Valve position reading 
is not what is 
expected. 

1.  Stem position sensor mounting 

is off 180 degrees.

2.   Perform a Stroke calibration (Quick-Cal). 
3.   Verify Tight Shutoff settings.   
4.   Verify custom characterization or soft-stop limits.   

Position is driven fully 
open or closed and will 
not respond to 
command. 

1.  Stroke is not calibrated. 
2.  Inner-loop hall sensor is not 

connected. 

3.  Wrong air action was entered in 

software. 

4.  Actuator tubing is backward. 
5.  Electro-pneumatic 

converter is 
malfunctioning. 

6.  Control parameter inner-loop 

offset is too high/low. 

1.  Perform stroke calibration (Quick-Cal)  
2.  Verify hardware connections. 
3.  Check ATO (Air-to-open) and ATC (Air-to-Close) 

settings. Recalibrate using Quick-Cal to apply 
settings.  

4.  Verify ATO/ATC actuator tubing. 
5.  Replace electro-pneumatic  converter. 
6.  Adjust inner-loop and see if proper control 

resumes. 

Sticking or hunting 
operation of the positioner 

1.  Contamination of the electro-

pneumatic converter. 

2.  Control tuning parameters not 

correct. 

3.  Packing friction is high. 

 

4.  Spool valve is corroded or dirty.

 

 

1.  Check air supply for proper filtering and meeting 

ISA specifications ISA-7.0.01.  

2.  Lower proportional gain settings.  
3.  Enable the stability DIP switch on the local 

interface and recalibrate. If problem persists, 
adjust pressure control window with handheld 
communicator or ValveSight and recalibrate.  

4.  Disassemble and clean spool valve. 

LCD backlight flickering or 
dim. 

1.  The backlight uses any residual 

power not used by other functions of 
the circuitry. 

1.  Fluctuations in the LCD backlight are normal.  No
