Operating the positioner

Canceling initialization

The initialization can be canceled by press

-

ing  .

 

ESC blinks on the display.

 

Press   to confirm.

This code must be confirmed by touching 

Otherwise, the code remains active.

Initial state 1:

 

Positioner has 

not

 been initialized

The positioner goes to the fail-safe position 

after the initialization process has been can

-

celed.

Initial state 2:

 

Positioner is initialized

On canceling a new initialization process, 

the positioner returns to closed-loop opera-

tion. The settings of the previous initialization 

are used.

A new initialization can be started directly 

afterwards.

7.10 Zero calibration

In case of inconsistencies in the closed posi-

tion of the valve (e.g. with soft-seated plugs), 
it might be necessary to recalibrate zero. En

-

able configuration as described in sec

-

tion 7.2.
Start the zero calibration by activating Code 
P16 as follows:

Press 

 or 

 until Code 

P16

 appears.

Press 

 and hold for six seconds. 

6-5-4-3-

2-1-

 is counted down on the display.

Zero calibration starts, the display blinks!

The positioner moves the control valve to the 

CLOSED position and recalibrates the inter

-

nal electric zero point.
When the zero calibration has been success

-

fully completed, the positioner returns to 

closed-loop operation (display with status in

-

dication).
