Fault clearance
Malfunction
Possible cause
Remedy
Low compressed air flow
Restriction in the compressed
air line
Check compressed air line
Filter cartridge dirty
Change filter at filter regulator
PCRI
Pressure increases above the
set working pressure
Valve disc defective at sealing
seat
Replace filter regulator PCRI
Audible, continuous blowing
noise at rotary knob
Valve seat damaged
Replace filter regulator PCRI
Pneumatic drive does not move
in the desired direction
Cable of the displacement
encoder incorrectly connected
to the positioner or the pneu-
matic drive
Correct the connection on the
positioner or on the pneumatic
drive
Active direction reversed
Reverse the reversing plate in
the end plate VABA
Pneumatic drive does not move
to the desired end position in
the event of a compressed air
failure
Supply air port (1) on fail-safe
module VOGI not connected or
operating pressure too low
Check supply air port (1) on fail-
safe module VOGI
Active direction reversed
Reverse the reversing plate in
the end plate VABA
Pneumatic drive cannot hold
intermediate position
Compressed air flow rate at the
VOGM volume booster too low
Increase compressed air flow
rate
Mechanical defects in the com-
pressed air lines and functional
elements, z. B. corrosion or
leakage
Condensate formation too high
Install condensate drain or
water separator, e.g. PWEA or
MS-LWS
