4.6 Reversing amplifier for
double-acting actuators
For the use with double-acting actuators, the
positioner must be fitted with a reversing am-
plifier, e.g. the SAMSON Type 3710 Revers-
ing Amplifier (see Mounting and Operating
Instructions EB 8392).
u
If a different reversing amplifier (item no.
1079-1118 or 1079-1119) is used, follow the
mounting instructions described in sec-
tion 4.6.1.
The following applies to all reversing am-
plifiers:
The signal pressure of the positioner is sup-
plied at the output A
fier. An opposing pressure, which equals the
required supply pressure when added to the
pressure at A , is applied at output A2.

The rule A + A = Z applies.

Mounting
1. Mount the connecting plate (6) from the
accessories in Table 5 to the positioner.
Make sure that both O-rings (6.1) are
seated correctly.

2. Thread the special nuts (1.3) from the ac-
cessories of the reversing amplifier into
the boreholes of the connecting plate.
3. Insert the gasket (1.2) into the recess of
the reversing amplifier and slide both the
hollowed special screws (1.1) into the
connecting boreholes A
4. Place the reversing amplifier onto the
connecting plate (6) and screw tight us-
ing both the special screws (1.1).
5. Use a screwdriver (8 mm wide) to screw
the enclosed filters (1.6) into the connec-
tion boreholes A
NOTICE
Air can escape uncontrolled from the
signal pressure connection.
Do not unscrew the sealing plug (1.5)
out of the reversing amplifier.
Note:

The rubber seal (1.4) is not required
and can be removed when the seal-
ing plug is used.
