"POWER" LED
extinguishes
periodically
Voltage supply collapses
periodically - device
executes reset
Select a power supply with
adequate power.
Loss on the connecting line
too high
- Increase cable cross-section.
- Decrease cable length.
"LIMIT (y)" LED
lights (only with
default
configuration)
MFC: correcting variable of
valve has reached almost
100 % - cannot correct to
setpoint.
- Increase the supply
pressure.
- Check and if necessary
lower the piping resistance.
- Check system dimensioning
(see Section Proportional

- Repeat the Autotune or reset
the error.
- With errors at LED or binary

Residual ripple of supply
volate too high.
Select a suitable voltage
source (not industrial DC).
Serious error, e. g. sensor
breakage or faulty internal
voltage supply.
Send the device to the
manufacturer for repair.
No flow present Setpoint within zero-point
switch-off.
Increase setpoint to > 2 % of
nominal flow.
Different operating mode. Check the operating mode.
