Start-up and settings

If a P/PI controller is switched to P action, 

completely open the Tn restrictor to ensure 
the operating point adjuster can take effect 
without delay.

Version with set-point-dependent operating 

point

This version does not need to be adjusted 
since the operating point automatically fol-
lows the set point w.

4.2  Bumpless automatic/

manual mode changeover

The bumpless switchover ensures that no 
pressure surges can reach the valve when 
the manual/automatic switch (10) is activat-
ed as follows:

Changeover from automatic to manual

Use the adjuster (9) to adjust the manual out-
put yH until the pointers (4 and 5) in the bot-
tom display meet. Change the switch over to 
manual.

Changeover from manual to automatic

If the system is to be controlled manually to 
the required value, the automatic output yA 
must be adjusted at the set point adjuster 
(11) to match the manual output yH.
The switch (10) can only be set to automatic 
after the pointers (4 and 5) in the bottom dis-
play meet.

4.3  Readjusting the controller 

zero point

If deviations arise between the controlled 
variable and set point during operation, the 
zero point can be readjusted by turning the 
zero adjuster (8 in Fig. 1) until the controlled 
variable and set point on the front display 
are the same again.

4.4  Additional modules

The Type 3424 Additional Module is no lon-

ger available.

4.4.1 

Type 3424-4 Manual/

automatic Transfer

Switchover is performed automatically by 
activation of the manual/automatic switch 
(10, Fig. 3). See

Adjusting the direction of action

Set the direction of action at the turnboard of 
the control mode changeover device to 
match the direction of action of turnboard 

A

 

of the controller module. To proceed, unfas-
ten the screw on the turnboard and turn the 
board as follows:
