Introduction
Troubleshooting procedures can be followed when inaccurate or faulty actuator operation is detected. In
this section, troubleshooting procedures consist of a few simple flow charts to test for proper function of
various actuator components. Component replacement is at the PWA or assembly level.
Table 39 indicates some of the observable symptoms of failure that can be identified by noting the faulty
actuator operation.
No Actuator current output.
No Actuator slidewire output.
Local display does not light.
Actuator fails one or more power up diagnostics.
Actuator motor does not drive in response to input signal.
Actuator motor does not drive to proper position.
Actuator Motor is "Hunting"
(Motor does not drive to a position and stop.)
Position sensor position is not correct.
Auto/Manual Switch does not operate correctly.
Relay(s) does not operate.
