Why is the status LED off on my Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the status LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner is off, this indicates that no supply voltage is connected to the device. To fix this, check the supply voltage.
What does orange decode LED mean on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the decode LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner shows a continuous orange light, it means a marker bar code has been detected. To address this, call up the marker bar code.
What does continuous red status LED mean on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the status LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner shows a continuous red light, it indicates an internal device error that prevents normal function. The suggested solution is to send in the device for repair.
How to reset orange flashing status LED on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the status LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner is continuously orange and flashing, it signifies that a service operation is currently active. You can reset this service operation by using the BPS Configuration Tool.
What to do if the status LED is red and flashing on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the status LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner is flashing red, it indicates a warning. You should query the diagnostic data to determine the specific issue and then take the necessary corrective actions.
Why am I getting a position error with Leuze Valve Positioners?
If you are experiencing a position error with your Leuze Valve Positioner, it could be due to several reasons: the absence of a bar code tape, the scanner being positioned in total reflection, or improper mounting of the scanner. To address this, verify the positioning of the bar code tape, adjust the scanning beam's angle by tilting the BPS 8, ensure correct mounting, and clean the BPS 8 window.
What to do if the decode LED is red on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the Decode LED on your Leuze Valve Positioner shows a continuous red light, it means the position data is invalid, potentially because it's out of tape. To resolve this, inspect the positioning of the bar code tape, try adjusting the angle of the scanning beam by tilting the BPS 8, verify the mounting, and ensure the BPS 8 window is clean.
What to do if the Decode LED is off on Leuze BPS 8?
If the Decode LED is off, it means that positioning is deactivated. Call up position values and deactivate SLEEP mode.
What to do if the Decode LED shows a continuous red light on Leuze Valve Positioners?
If the Decode LED displays a continuous red light, it means the position value is invalid, likely out of tape. You should check the barcode tape positioning, adjust the scanning beam angle by tilting the BPS 8, verify the mounting, and clean the BPS 8 window.
