Error codes
E0 Zero error
Recommended action Check valve and attachment of the positioner. If OK, perform a zero
E1 Displayed and INIT values
are not identical
Recommended action Select error code and reset (RST).
E2 Positioner not initialized
Recommended action Set parameters and initialize the positioner over Code P15.
E3 K setting
P
Recommended action Check the volume restriction setting as described in section 7.1.

Only with tight-closing function P10 (set point cutoff decrease set to
ON).
The zero point has shifted by more than 5 % compared to initializa-
tion. Error can occur when the positioner's attachment position is
shifted or when the valve trim is worn, particularly with soft-sealed
plugs.
calibration over Code P16 (see section 7.6) or select error code and
reset (RST).
Parameter code settings were changed after the initialization.
Positioner hunts.
Volume restriction set incorrectly, too much gain.
Limit gain K in Code P8. Re-initialize the positioner.
P
The transit times of the actuator determined during initialization are
so short (below 0.5 second) that optimal positioner tuning is not pos-
sible.
Re-initialize the positioner.
Supply pressure is too low or varies. Mounting incorrect.
Re-initialize the positioner.
