Setpoint Ramping

The setpoint ramp is only effective in Automatic mode. This parameter changes the
positioner's speed of response. Essentially, this slows down the valve travel times. To
achieve the fastest times, these parameters should be set to a value of zero.

Stays at 20 mA Position

When PS2 is in automatic or manual mode, the input signal is shown in the lower right
corner of display. This value is in percent, and should change with a change of input signal.
Use PS2 diagnostic number "mA" to convert display to current meter.
● From automatic mode or manual mode, press all three buttons down at the same time for
5 seconds.
● Press and release
● The display will show input signal in milliamps.
If milliamp is approximately fixed to 22.0 mA, this indicates the board was or still is
improperly powered.
● To exit Diagnostic mode press and hold
For 2-wire loop power the power supply must be a regulated current source. A current
source regulates current; see Wiring (Page 43) section.
Note
A voltage source does not regulate current, the circuit's resistance does. Therefore if the
circuit's resistance is low, the current can be too high and damage the PS2 board.
● Resolve power issue and replace PS2 circuit board. Board part numbers can be found in
