Causes/corrective actions
Possible cause: Actuator does not move although air pressure is
present.
Check the actuator and valve for mechanical blockages or damage.
Possible cause: Incorrect actuator type set.
Check in the parameter "1.1.1 Actuator type" (Page 62) that the type
matching your actuator is set.
Possible cause: Magnet clamp is mounted further away from the
positioner than specified.
Correct the position of the magnet clamp. To do this, use the supplied
template for linear actuators up to 60 mm (2.36").
Possible cause: Magnet clamp is mounted closer to the positioner than
specified.
Correct the position of the magnet clamp. To do this, use the supplied
template for linear actuators up to 60 mm (2.36").
Possible cause: Magnet clamp is missing or is too far away from the
optimum position.
Install the magnet clamp or correct the position of the magnet clamp. To
do this, use the supplied template for linear actuators up to 60 mm
(2.36").
Possible cause: The positioner is fitted above the center of the magnet
clamp's movement range.
Use a combination of magnet clamp and extension set which is suitable
for your total stroke, or mount the positioner centrally to the magnet
clamp's movement range.
Possible cause: The positioner is fitted below the center of the magnet
clamp's movement range.
Use a combination of magnet clamp and extension set which is suitable
for your total stroke, or mount the positioner centrally to the magnet
clamp's movement range.
Possible cause: The stroke is smaller than listed in the technical
specifications.
Possible cause: The rotation angle is smaller than listed in the technical
specifications.
Possible cause: The stroke is larger than that specified for the
combination of magnet clamp/extension set used.
Use a combination of magnet clamp and extension set which is suitable
for the total stroke.
Possible cause: The rotation angle is larger than listed in the section
"Technical data (Page 155)".
Possible cause: Unforeseeable fault which resulted in cancellation of
initialization.
Carry out the initialization again.
Possible cause: Internal error, e.g. during EEPROM access.
Carry out the initialization again.
Initialization was canceled by the user.
Possible cause: Positioner has not yet been initialized.
Initialize the positioner.
