If the difference is less 100: 

1.

 

Verify that the position sensor is connected to the actuator 

 
If the difference is less 1500: 

1.

 

Increase signal span from the sensor: See sensor manual 

 
The difference between the Open ADC value and the 50% ADC value shall be approximately equal 
to the difference between the Close ADC value and 50% ADC value. 

1.

 

  Check the signal from the position sensor 

2.3

 

Test the control loop / AI0 

Send 4mA followed by a 20mA signal from DCS or a loop calibrator 
 
Push Status 

1.Live status and push down arrow down until SP-mA is shown. 

 

From DCS or loop calibrator  IHP24 Live menu - SP-mA 

4mA 

 

20mA 

 

 
If signals are 0 mA 

1.

 

Check wiring 

If 4 mA and 20 mA signals are “off” 

1.

 

Perform a signal calibration of AI0/Control loop: See IHP24 manual 

2.4

 

Test the transmitter loop / AO0 

Verify that the position signal transmitted from the IHP24 and the position signal received by DCS 
or loop calibrator are identical 
 
Push Status 

1.Live status and push down arrow down until TM-mA is shown. 

 

IHP24 Live menu - TM-mA 

Readout from DCS or loop calibrator 

 

 

 
If TM-mA is 3.5 mA 

1.

 

Verify that there are no errors in the error log 

 
If 0 mA is received by DCS or loop calibrator 

1.

 

Check wiring 

1.

 

Check if the sensor is active or passive. AO0 is for use of passive transmitters, i.e. output is 
active: See IHP24 manual
