11.4.4 Remedial measures table 3
Fault profile (symptoms) Possible cause Remedial measures
• Actuator does not move. • Compressed air < 1.4 bar • Set the supply air pressure to
> 1.4 bar.
• Restrictor valve turned off (screw at
the right end stop)
• Open the restrictor screw by turning
it anticlockwise, see leaflet, "Device
view (6)".
• Piezo valve does not activate (a
gentle click sound is however
audible when the "+" or "-" buttons
are pressed in the manual mode.)
• Dirt in the pneumatic block • Repair
1)
or a new device; clean
and/or replace the built-in fine
screens.
• Pneumatic leakage in the positioner
- actuator system; start the leakage
test in "RUN 3" (initialization).
• Rectify leakage in the actuator
and/or feed line.
• In case of an intact actuator and
tight feed line: repair
1)
or a new
device
• A piezo valve activates constantly in
the stationary automatic mode
(constant setpoint) and the manual
mode.
• Dirt in the pneumatic block, see
above
• See above

11.4.5 Corrective measures Table 4
Symptoms Possible cause(s) Corrective measures
• Sticking friction of the packing
gland from the control valve or
actuator too large
• Reduce friction or increase dead zone of
positioner (parameter "dEbA") until the
oscillation stops.
• Looseness (play) in the
positioner/actuator/control valve
system
• Part-turn actuator: Check for firm seating
of set screw on coupling wheel.
• Linear actuator: Check for firm seating of
lever on positioner shaft.
• Correct any other play between the
actuator and the control valve.
• In stationary automatic mode
(constant setpoint) and in
manual mode, both piezo
valves continually switch
alternately, and the actuator
oscillates around a mean value.
• Actuator too fast • Increase actuating times using throttle
screws.
• If a quick actuating time is needed,
increase the dead zone (parameter
"dEbA") until the oscillation stops.
