tion NO)
Operating pressure too high
Control pressure too low (for control
function NO and control function DA)
Foreign matter between shut-off dia-
phragm and valve body
Valve body leaking or damaged
Shut-off diaphragm is defective
Actuator spring faulty (for control func-
tion NC)
Shut-off diaphragm incorrectly mounted
Bolting between valve body and actuator
loose

Troubleshooting
Replace the actuator
Replace the actuator and check control
medium for impurities
Check shut-off diaphragm for potential
damage, replace diaphragm if necessary
Operate the product with the control pres-
sure specified in the datasheet
Check and replace pilot valve
Replace the actuator
Connect control medium
Remove the actuator, check the dia-
phragm mounting, replace the shut-off
diaphragm if necessary
Replace the actuator
Operate the product with operating pres-
sure specified in datasheet
Operate the product with the control pres-
sure specified in the datasheet
Remove the actuator, remove foreign
matter, check diaphragm and valve body
for potential damage, replace damaged
parts if necessary
Check valve body for potential damage,
replace valve body if necessary
Check shut-off diaphragm for potential
damage, replace diaphragm if necessary
Replace actuator
Remove the actuator, check the dia-
phragm mounting, replace the shut-off
diaphragm if necessary
Tighten bolting between valve body and
actuator
Check shut-off diaphragm for potential
damage, replace diaphragm if necessary
Replace actuator/valve body
Check installation of valve body in piping
Tighten threaded connections / unions
Replace sealing material
Check valve body for potential damage,
replace valve body if necessary
Check the assembly of the O-ring at the
interfaces of the valve bodies
