Aids
E1
A minimum value is not displayed in
On feedback via potentiometer:
"Actual value” position and "AU” display
Cause: potentiometer connections transposed
Check terminals
Cause: Potentiometer incorrectly fitted to the motor shaft
Turn potentiometer with control element connected until the desired
value is displayed.
Cause: control element is not in "CLOSED” position
Check whether the "CLOSE” relay on the relay module has pulled on
(recognisable from the LED on the relay module)
Check "F2” fuse (on the power supply front panel) of the VMS
Check lead to the control elements
(Is the "CLOSE” signal reaching the control element)
Cause: the FMS has read in an incorrect range limit.
Re-enter range limits

Feedback does not move, although
Check feedback connection to the FMS (See connection diagram)
the control element moves

In order to locate faults, it is recommended that the feedback be simulated at
various points on the feedback circuit (using potentiometer or a current
transmitter).

The feedback can be simulated by means of a current transmitter.
This makes it easier to locate the fault on the feedback circuit.
