RGGR

INNER LOOP OFFSET TIME OUT ALARM indicates that during

calibration the Inner Loop Offset value did not settle. This could

result in less accurate positioning.

Repeat the stroke calibration to get a more accurate ILO value. To

proceed using the less accurate ILO value, this error may be cleared by

briefl y pushing the QUICK-CAL button. Lowering the gain setting may

help if the actuator is unstable during the calibration. Gain settings can

be physically adjusted on the device. A lower letter represents lower gain.

RGYG

NON-SETTLE TIME OUT ALARM indicates that during calibration,

the position feedback sensor did not settle.

Check for loose linkages or a loose positioner sensor. This error may be

cleared by briefl y pushing the QUICK-CAL button, which will force the po-

sitioner to use the parameters from the last good calibration. This error

may appear on some very small actuators during the initial calibration.

Recalibrating may clear the problem.

RGYY

NO MOTION TIME OUT ALARM indicates that during calibration,

there was no motion of the actuator based on the current stroke

time confi guration.

Check linkages and air supply to make sure the system is properly con-

nected. If the time out occurred because the actuator is very large then

simply retry the Quick cal and the positioner will automatically adjust for

a larger actuator by doubling the time allowed for movement. This error

may be cleared by briefl y pushing the QUICK-CAL button, which will force

the positioner to use the parameters from the last good calibration.

RGRR

FACTORY RESET STATE indicates the unit has had a factory reset

and has not yet been calibrated. The unit will not respond to

commands and will remain in the failsafe position until a calibrati-

on is successfully completed.

Calibrate. Proper Valvesight operation will require stroke, actuator, and

friction calibration to be completed. This indicator can be disabled.

RYYG

SUPPLY PRESSURE LOW ALARM (user set) indicates that the

supply pressure is below the user set alarm limit. Low supply

pressure can cause poor valve response or positioner failure.

The minimum recommended supply pressure is 30 PSI (2.1 bar)

for proper operation. The unit will fail at less than approximately

17 PSI (1.2 bars). Low supply pressure indications can also be

caused by pneumatic leak.

Regulate the supply pressure at the positioner above 30 PSI (2.1

bar). Recalibrate pressure sensors. Ensure system air/gas supply is

adequate. Repair kinked supply tubing. Check the pressure sensor board

connections and replace pressure sensor board if necessary. Check for

pneumatic leaks in the actuator and actuator tubing. See DTM screen:

Health Status/Actuator Health.

**RRGG PILOT RELAY RESPONSE ALARM (user set) indicates that the

pilot relay is sticking or extremely slow to respond. This affects

the responsiveness, increases the chance of limit cycling and

excessive air consumption. The pilot relay consists of the driver

module assembly with piezo (I-P relay) which is coupled to

the spool valve. Delayed response can be caused by a partially

clogged piezo or debris, oil, corrosion, or ice on the spool, or low

supply pressure.

Check response of the valve. If OK, adjust Pilot Relay Response limits.

Check the supply pressure. Check the spool for debris, oil, corrosion,

ice on the spool. Clean or replace the spool assembly. Replace the piezo

or driver module assembly. Maintain a clean, water-free air/gas supply.

See DTM screen: Health Status/Positioner Health. This indicator can be

disabled.

**RRGY FRICTION LOW ALARM (user set) indicates the friction has

passed below the user set limit. The alarm indicates a more

severe condition than the warning.

Check for a packing leak. Tighten or replace the valve packing. See DTM

screen: Health Status/Valve Health. This indicator can be disabled.

**RRGR FRICTION HIGH ALARM (user set) indicates the valve/actuator

friction has passed the user set limit. The alarm indicates a more

severe condition than the warning. High friction can cause loop

oscillations, poor position control, jerky motion, or valve sticking.

It can be caused by build-up from the process on the stem, trim

or seat, by a failing bearing or guides in the valve and actua-

tor, galling of the trim or stem, excessively tightened packing,

linkages, or other valve/actuator mechanical issues.

Determine if the friction is signifi cantly interfering with the valve control.

If not, consider increasing the friction warning limit. Consider the

following to reduce friction: Stroke the valve to clear off build-up. Clear

any external mechanical obstruction, loosen the packing, clean the stem,

repair or replace the actuator. Highly localized friction or very jerky travel

can indicate internal galling. Repair or replace internal valve compon-

ents. See DTM screen: Health Status/Valve Health This indicator can be

disabled.

RRYG

PIEZO VOLTAGE ALARM indicates the portion of the circuit board

that drives the piezo is bad, or piezo valve itself is bad.

If the unit is functioning and controlling replace the piezo, if it does not

operate replace the main circuit board. This indicator can be disabled.

RRYR

PILOT RELAY POSITION LIMIT ALARM indicates the pilot relay

(spool) appears to be fi xed at a limit and is not responding. This

could be due to low supply pressure, a hall sensor that is out

of calibration, a broken piezo, stuck spool, or a wire connection

problem.

Check for adequate supply pressure. A hall sensor problem may be

cleared by briefl y pushing the QUICK-CAL button, which will force the

positioner to use the parameters from the last valid calibration. Check the

internal wiring harnesses for good connections. Check the spool valve

for sticking problems. If the positioner still does not operate replace the

piezo, driver module assembly, and/or spool assembly.

RRRY

ELECTRONICS ERROR OR ALARM indicates the internal data

was not updated correctly. This may affect the function of the

positioner in various ways or not at all. This can be caused when

intermittent operation occurs when connecting power.

Error may self clear with time. If error persists, cycle power and com-

plete a QUICK-CAL. If the error still persists, Check internal wiring and

connectors for electrical shorts or opens. If no problems are found and

alarm persists, replace the main circuit board.

RRRR

POSITION DEVIATION ALARM (user set) indicates the difference

between the command and the actual position has been greater

than the user-set limit for longer than a user-set time.

Review active alarms and warnings to fi nd root causes of this alarm. See

DTM screen: Alerts/Command Deviation. This indicator can be disabled.
