Error codes
E0 Zero error Only with tight-closing function P10 (set point cutoff decrease set to
ON).
Thezeropointhasshiftedbymorethan5%comparedtoinitializa-
tion. Error can occur when the positioner's attachment position is
shifted or when the valve trim is worn, particularly with soft-sealed
plugs.
Recommended action Check valve and attachment of the positioner. If OK, perform a zero
calibrationoverCodeP16(seesection7.6)orselecterrorcodeand
reset (RST).
E1 Displayed and INIT values
are not identical
Parameter code settings were changed after the initialization.
Recommended action Select error code and reset (RST).
E2 Positioner not initialized
Recommended action Set parameters and initialize the positioner over Code P15.
E3 K
P
setting Positioner hunts.
Volume restriction set incorrectly, too much gain.
Recommended action Checkthevolumerestrictionsettingasdescribedinsection7.1.
Limit gain K
P
in Code P8. Re-initialize the positioner.
E4 Transit time too fast The transit times of the actuator determined during initialization are
so short (below 0.5 second) that optimal positioner tuning is not pos-
sible.
Recommended action Checkthevolumerestrictionsettingasdescribedinsection7.1.
Re-initialize the positioner.
E5 Standstill detection is not
possible
Supply pressure is too low or varies. Mounting incorrect.
Recommended action Check supply air and positioner mounting.
Re-initialize the positioner.
