General safety instructions 1 General safety instructions For your own safety, follow these instructions concerning the mounting, start up and opera- tion of the device: − The device is to be mounted, started up or operated only by trained and experienced personnel familiar with the product. According to these mounting and operating instruc- tions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are able to judge the work they are as- signed to and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their knowl- edge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applicable standards. − Any hazards that could be caused in the valve by the process medium, the signal pres- sure or by moving parts are to be prevented by taking appropriate precautions.

Design and principle of operation When a control signal corresponding to the binary signal '1' (ON) is applied to the in- put, the signal pressure p is applied to the actuator, allowing the valve to move accord- ing to the input signal issued by the control equipment. Positioner with position transmitter A positioner containing a position transmit- ter cannot be equipped with integrated limit contacts or an integrated solenoid valve since the position transmitter requires most of the space inside.

Operation Note: The following applies to positioners with adapter housing for NAMUR attachment: When the positioner and the position transmitter signal have different operating di- rections (<< and <>), it may be impossible to adjust the zero point of the transmitter signal due to the additional deflection caused by the bracket (28) of the adapter housing.
