Troubleshooting
Malfunction
Possible reasons
Recommended action
Temperature exceeds the
adjusted limit.
Temperature sensor
installed in the wrong
location.
Î
Install the temperature sensor into the pipeline in
such a way that the heat flow is correctly
measured.
Foreign particles blocking
the valve plug
Î
Remove foreign particles.
Î
Replace damaged parts.
Valve trim is worn.
Î
Replace damaged parts.
The temperature adjusted at the
control thermostat reaches the
adjusted limit temperature.
Control thermostat
defective
Î
Replace the control thermostat.
Temperature drops below the set
point adjusted at the control
thermostat.
Valve installed against the
flow.
Î
Install the valve so that the direction of flow
matches the direction indicated by the arrow on
the body.
Foreign particles blocking
the valve plug
Î
Remove foreign particles.
Î
Replace damaged parts.
Temperature sensor
installed in the wrong
location.
Î
Install the temperature sensor into the pipeline in
such a way that the heat flow is correctly
measured.
Valve or K
VS
/C
V
coefficient too small
Î
Check the sizing.
Î
Change K
VS
/C
V
coefficient, if necessary or install
a different sized regulator.
Strainer blocked
Î
Clean strainer.
Safety temperature
monitor has been
triggered.
Î
Check temperature regulator to ensure it func-
tions.
Î
Check the set point of the control thermostat.
Î
Replace the defective STM, if necessary.
Jerky control response.
Increased friction, e.g.
due to foreign particles
between seat and plug.
Î
Remove foreign particles.
Î
Replace damaged parts.
Temperature fluctuates.
Valve too large
Î
Check the sizing.
Î
Change K
VS
/C
V
coefficient, if necessary or install
a different sized regulator.
Temperature sensor in-
stalled in the wrong loca-
tion.
Î
Install the temperature sensor into the pipeline in
such a way that the heat flow is correctly
measured (avoid dead times).
Leak at the joint between the
valve and STM.
Seal is defective
Î
Replace damaged parts.
