Remedial measures table 3

Fault profile (symptoms)
Actuator does not move.
Piezo valve does not activate (a
gentle click sound is however
audible when the "+" or "-" buttons
are pressed in the manual mode.)
A piezo valve activates constantly in
the stationary automatic mode
(constant setpoint) and the manual
mode.

Remedial measures table 4

Fault profile (symptoms)
In the stationary automatic mode
(constant setpoint) and in the
manual mode, both piezo valves
are continuously activated
alternately and the actuator
oscillates to a mean value.
Fault table 4
238
Possible cause
Compressed air < 1.4 bar
Restrictor valve turned off (screw at
the right end stop)
Dirt in the pneumatic block
Pneumatic leakage in the positioner
- actuator system; start the leakage
test in "RUN 3" (initialization).
Dirt in the pneumatic block, see
above
Possible cause(s)
Static friction of the packing gland
of the control valve and the actuator
is too high
Gap (play) in the positioner -
actuator - control valve system
Actuator is too fast
Remedial measures
Set the supply air pressure to
> 1.4 bar.
Open the restrictor screw by turning
it anticlockwise, see leaflet, "Device
view (6)".
Repair
or a new device; clean
1)
and/or replace the built-in fine
screens.
Rectify leakage in the actuator
and/or feed line.
In case of an intact actuator and
tight feed line: repair
device
See above
Remedial measures
Reduce the static friction or
increase the dead zone of SIPART
PS2 ("dEbA" parameter) until the
oscillatory movement stops.
Part-turn actuator: Check for the
firmness of the grub screw of the
coupling wheel.
Linear actuator: check for the
firmness of the lever on the
positioning shaft.
Remove any play between the
actuator and the control valve.
Increase the actuating times using
the restrictor screws.
If a fast actuating time is required,
increase the dead zone ("dEBA"
parameter) until the oscillatory
movement stops.
