 If SR is blinking alternatively with the actual mode display (e.g. P.11 ⇔ ..SR) the valve requires 
cleaning. 
 
 
 
RxD / TxD activity of RS232 communication is displayed by 2 blinking dots in digit 2. 
The lower dot indicates RxD activity where the upper dot indicates TxD activity. The 
indication is not real time.

5.6.4  Safety mode 
By means of an external switch (see connection diagrams «Electrical connection») the motor power 
supply can be interrupted. In this case the valve enters the ‘safety mode’. This motor interlock prevents 
the valve from moving (e.g. maintenance work). Data reading from the control unit remains possible. 
When motor interlock is active during power up the valve directly enters the ‘safety mode’ and is not able 
to synchronize. Display shows ‘D  C’ or ‘D999’. In this case synchronization cycle will be done when 
motor interlock is deactivated. Then Display shows ‘INIT’ for a moment followed by ‘SYNC’. 
When ‘safety mode’ is entered from operation (i.e. pressure control mode), the unit will automatically 
switch to position control mode and remain at current position. Once motor interlock is deactivated the 
unit remains in position control mode.
