SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The S6A is maintenance-free to a large extent. Screens are
installed in the pneumatic connections of the positioners to
protect them from debris. If there are dirt particles in the
pneumatic auxiliary power supply, they damage the screens
and hamper the function of the positioner.
Perform the following steps when needing to clean the
screens:
Cleaning the Screens

2. Remove the lines.
3. Unscrew the cover.
4. Unscrew the three self-tapping screws on the pneumatic
