  • Page 7: Notes On Possible Personal Injury

    Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Risk of personal injury due to moving parts on the valve. During initialization of the positioner and during operation, the actuator stem moves through its entire travel range. Injury to hands or fingers is possible if they are inserted into the valve.
  • Page 8 Safety instructions and measures Incorrect assignment of the terminals will damage the positioner and will lead to mal- function. For the positioner to function properly, the prescribed terminal assignment must be ob- served. Î Connect the electrical wiring to the positioner according to the prescribed terminal assignment.
