Remedy
Check the electrical
connections.
see Section
Operating Modes
Select a power supply with
adequate power.
- Increase cable cross-section.
- Decrease cable length.
- Increase the supply
pressure.
- Check and if necessary
lower the piping resistance.
- Check system dimensioning
(see Section Proportional
Valve)

Operating Modes
- Repeat the Autotune or reset
the error.
- With errors at LED or binary
output, limited operation is
possible.
Select a suitable voltage
source (not industrial DC).
Send the device to the
manufacturer for repair.
Increase setpoint to > 2 % of
nominal flow.
Check the operating mode.
