18 Inspection and maintenance
WARNING
The equipment is subject to pressure!
▶ Risk of severe injury or death
● Depressurize the plant.
● Completely drain the plant.
CAUTION
Use of incorrect spare parts!
▶ Damage to the GEMÜ product
▶ Manufacturer liability and guarantee will be void
● Use only genuine parts from GEMÜ.
NOTICE
Exceptional maintenance work!
▶ Damage to the GEMÜ product
● Any maintenance work and repairs not described in these
operating instructions must not be performed without
consulting the manufacturer first.
The operator must carry out regular visual examinations of
the products, depending on the operating conditions and the
potentially hazardous situations, in order to prevent leakage
and damage.
1. Have servicing and maintenance work performed by
trained personnel.
2. Wear appropriate protective gear as specified in the plant
operator's guidelines.
3. Shut off plant or plant component.
4. Secure the plant or plant component against recommis-
sioning.
5. Depressurize the plant or plant component.
6. Actuate products which are always in the same position
four times a year.

20.4 Adaptation of the controller to the controlled
system
Optimisation of the controller:
In order to achieve good behaviour of the control circuit, it is
necessary to adapt the positioner to the process. Good valve
behaviour, for instance, can be quick adjustment of maximum
power for pre-shooting or non-overshooting-free adjustment
of maximum power if the adjustment of power takes longer.
The optimum control parameters must be determined "manu-
ally" by trial and error through experimentation or rule of
thumb.
