•
Definition: The frequency of the command signal is above the warning
or alarm limit. This could mean the control loop is oscillating faster than 
normal. 
•
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level.
Review the control loop parameters and equipment. Adjust as 
necessary. 
Command Amplitude
•
Definition: The amplitude of the command signal is above the warning
or alarm limit. This could mean the control loop has larger swings than 
desirable. 
•
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level.
Review the control loop parameters and equipment. Adjust as 
necessary. 
Position Frequency
•
Definition: The frequency of the position signal is above the warning or
alarm limit. The positioner is controlling the position of the valve with 
rapid corrections. 
•
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level.
Adjust the selectable Gain switch to a lower setting or use the "Hi 
Friction" setting. Perform a QUICK-CAL which sets the gains based on 
valve response. Check for high friction. If the problem persists replace 
the relay. 
Position Amplitude
•
Definition: The amplitude of the position signal is above the warning
limit. The positioner is controlling the position of the valve with large 
corrections.

Electronic Error Status 
Aux. Card 1 Fail
•
Definition: Auxiliary Card 1 is not communicating.
•
Possible Solutions: Check auxiliary card connection to the main
