Possible cause(s)
Remedial measures
●
Positioner remains in "RUN 1".
●
Initialization started from the end
position and
●
The response time of a maximum of
1 minute was not observed.
●
Network pressure not connected or
it is too low.
●
A waiting time of up to 1 minute is
essential.
●
Do not start initialization from the
end position.
●
Provide the network pressure.
●
Positioner remains in "RUN 2".
●
Transmission ratio selector and
parameter 2
●
"YAGL" and the real stroke do not
match.
●
Incorrectly set stroke on the lever.
●
Piezo valve does not activate.
●
Check settings: see leaflet: "Device
view (7)" picture as well as
parameters 2 and 3
●
Check the stroke setting on the
lever. See table 2
●
Positioner remains in "RUN 3".
●
Actuator actuating time is too high.
●
Open the restrictor completely
and/or set the pressure PZ (1) to
the highest permissible value.
●
Use a booster if required.
●
Positioner remains "RUN 5", does
not go up to "FINISH" (waiting time
> 5 min).
●
"Gap" (play) in the positioner -
actuator - control valve system
●
Part-turn actuator: check for the
firmness of the grub screw of the
coupling wheel
●
Linear actuator: check for the
firmness of the lever on the
positioning shaft.
●
Remove any play between the
actuator and the control valve.
