Attachment Attachment 2.1 Attachment to valves with cast yokes To attach the positioner to valves with cast yokes, mounting parts (order no. 1. Fasten the plate (20) to the stem connec- 1400-5745) are used. For valves with tor clamps (22) of the valve using the rod-type yokes (pillars), the mounting kit (or- screws (21).
Attachment 2.2 Attachment to valves with 4. Mount the positioner to the support using the mounting screw (15). Make sure that rod-type yokes the pin (2) is led inside the wire strap and therefore clamped against the plate 1. Screw the plate (20), off-centered, to the (20).
