or start an offline leakage test with which you can detect leakages
in the actuator or in the pipe installation. Display is percent stroke
per minute referred to the total stroke. A test result originates from
one of the following options:
• Function '11.LEAK' has already been carried out.
• Leakage test was already carried out during initialization, see

initialization (Page 117).
• 'Offline leakage test' function was already executed by a HOST

position before and after the test. This means: the actuator position
has changed by the displayed value in one minute.
