10.2 Cleaning
The positioner is maintenance-free to a large extent. Screens are installed in the pneumatic
connections of the positioners to protect them from rough dirt particles. If there are dirt particles
in the supply air (PZ), they damage the screens and hamper the function of the positioner.
Clean the screens as described in the following two chapters.
