Problem
Cause
Diagnosis
Remedy (Countermeasure)
No movement at
all
Air is not being
supplied to the
positioner
Make sure that the compressor
is operating as it should; make
sure that the regulator
connected to the positioner
inlet is set
Initiate the supply of the
designated air supply pressure
to the positioner
(Confirm product
specifications)
The input signal
wiring is incorrectly
connected
Check to make sure the wiring
is connected to the correct
terminals and that the + and -
polarity is not reversed
Correct the connections
The input signal is not
being input
Check that 4 to 20 mA is being
input by the positioner
connection terminals
Repair the operation signal
origin or repair the signal
wiring
Positioner’s internal
parts are broken
(The diaphragm is
cracked, etc.)
Check to see if any unusual
noise is coming from the
positioner
Replace with a new positioner/
actuator unit
[Check to make sure that the
valve is not operating
(traveling) too often and that
the ambient temperature is not
too high]
There is water or oil
inside the positioner
Check to see if there is water
or oil entrained in the supply
air; check to see if the humidity
at the control valve piping
location is too high
Replace with a new positioner/
actuator unit and improve the
quality of the air supply
Valve opens and
closes too slowly
There is water or oil
inside the positioner
Check to see if there is water
or oil entrained in the air
supply
Replace with a new positioner/
actuator unit and improve the
quality of the air supply
The filter regulator is
clogged
Check the filter
Clean the filter or replace with
a new filter
Valve travel is
unstable
The setting of the
controller is faulty
Check the set value based on
the controller’s PID parameters
Adjust the controller's setting
values
