A. Actuator does not align plug to port.
1. If alignment is off only at one or two ports but the rest are aligned, then refer to assembly
and adjustment procedures (refer to pages 2 to 4).
2. If alignment is off in the same direction for all ports then:
a) Check the valve/actuator connector for looseness.
b) Check the Switchpak/actuator connector for looseness.
c) Check the motor for stalling or overload.
d) Check the speed reducer for visual leakage or noisy gear.
e) Check the accuracy of the position indicator itself.

- The MOTOR RUN LED on the circuit board is flashing on constantly while the
motor is pulsing.
- The calibration for the home port position is correct.
- Power supply to the controller is correct.
