9 Operation
NOTICE
When switching off the VPPM.-..., first make sure that the setpoint value is set to
0, then that the supply pressure and finally the supply voltage are switched off.
9.1 Restoring VPPM-... factory setting
Restoring the factory settings deletes the current settings.
• The VPPM -... can also be reset if a security code cannot be found.
1. Press and hold the [UP], [DOWN] and [Edit] keys.
2. Switch on the operating voltage.
3. Release the [UP], [DOWN] and [Edit] keys.
ÄThe ‘ALL’ display flashes.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select which parameters are to be reset to
the factory setting.
–‘Out’ flashes: reset all output parameters.
–‘In’ flashes: reset all input parameters.
–‘ALL’ flashes: reset all output parameters and input parameters and the
security code.
5. Press the [Edit] key to reset the selected parameter.
ÄThe VPPM-... is back in the RUN mode.
10 Maintenance
10.1 Disassembly
NOTICE
•When switching off the VPPM.-..., first make sure that the setpoint value is set
to 0, then that the supply pressure and finally the supply voltage are switched
off.
Switch off the following energy sources:
–Operating voltage
–Compressed air
2. Disconnect the connections from the device.
3. Remove the device from the mounting surface or H-rail.
10.2 Cleaning
Switch off the following energy sources to clean the outside:
–Operating voltage
–Compressed air
2. Clean the device on the outside with a soft cloth as required.

Error indicator in
display
Cause
ER.01 Hardware error
ER.05 Supply voltage too low
ER.09 Limit value (setpoint value) undershot
ER.10 Limit value (setpoint value) overshot

ER.28 Temperature range exceeded in the device
Tab. 14: Error display
11.2 Fault clearance
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
Device does not respond No supply voltage, LED [power]
off.
Check 24 V DC supply voltage
connection.
No data communication. –Check control unit.
–Check connection.
Flow rate too low Restriction of the flow cross
section by connection tech-
nology.
Use alternative connections.
Pressure rise too slow Large cylinder volume and long
tube length.
–Select another parameter
set.
–Use device with larger nom-
inal width.
Pressure constant despite
modified setpoint specification
Break in the electrical con-
necting cable.
Replace electrical connecting
cable.
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
Pressure constant despite
modified setpoint specification
Supply pressure P1 too low. Increase supply pressure.
Manual selection of parameter
sets with the [UP] and [DOWN]
keys on the device is not pos-
sible
Voltage is applied at digital
inputs D1 and D2.
Apply 0 V DC at digital inputs
D1 and D2.
