feedback lever length.
2 Check for air leaks in air supply.
3 Check electrical input signals.
4 Check Auto/Manual switch in Auto.
5 Check the flapper and the filter clears.
6
If communication can be made with a Commstaff or HART Communicator,
perform self diagnostics and take action based on errors messages. Refer to
“Troubleshooting Codes” on page 6-4.
