INSTALLATION 2.1 Connections S – Supply air V200P: max. 145 PSI / 1 MPa V200E: 23 - 145 PSI / 0,15 -1 MPa I – Input, pressure signal V200P: 3-15 PSI / 20-100 kPa V200E: Plugged – Input, current signal V200E: 4-20 mA (Ri max 250 ohm) V200P: Plugged C+ - Actuator connection + stroke C- - Actuator connection - stroke OUT - All air from the actuator, IP and posi- tioner is vented through this port.
The V200 has the ISO F05 hole pattern(1) and 2¼” x 2¼” hole pattern(2). depth depth 2.2.1 Rotary actuator The VAC V200 has a very stable and properly sized drive shaft bearing. However, the posi- tioner drive(A) should be aligned properly to the rotary actuator spindle(B). A relatively small error combined with a rigid coupling can create very powerful radial forces, which can overload and cause premature wear.

V200 POSITIONER www.vac.se 2.5 Cam The V200 is standard shipped with the C1-cam, factory set for 90° , direct (CCW) turning. ±1° 2.5.1 Adjustments Remove the front cover and indicator. (see page 15) 1. Loosen the locking screw(2) and the cam nut(1).
V200 POSITIONER www.vacaccessories.com 2.6 Spindle (Drive) VAC offers a variety of spindles/drives(1), suitable for the most frequently used actuator types. 2.6.1 Spindle Removal Release the spindle/drive by prying with two screwdrivers, equally under the edges(2) of the spindle/drive, using the housing as fulcrum. The spindle has a snap ring that is “released” with the equal pressure. 2.6.2 Spindle Mounting Press the spindle down into the spindle shaft hole.
V200 POSITIONER www.vac.se 2.7 Installing IP converter 2.7.1 Internal IP Converter Remove the front cover and indicator. (see page 15) 1. Loosen the two screws that secure the pneumatic sealing plate(1) and remove the plate. 2. Make sure the two O-rings(2) are still in the positioner housing.
V200 POSITIONER www.vacaccessories.com 2.8 4-20 mA connection 2.8.1 Connecting the control signal Remove the front cover and indicator. (see page 15) Terminal block(1) is now easily acces- sible. Connect the cables to their respective pole. Maximum cable size AWG 13 (2,5 mm 2.8.2 Checking the control signal The control signal can be checked without having to break the signal loop.
V200 POSITIONER www.vac.se 2.9 Calibration The V200 is delivered factory calibrated 0-100 % ±1%. Calibration procedure Zero position Note: Always set zero first! 1. Set 0% input signal. 2. W ait until the valve/actuator has responded. 3. Adjust the zero position by turning the zero screw(1), with a screwdriver.
V200 POSITIONER www.vacaccessories.com 2.10 Front cover and indicator 2.10.1 Removing the front cover Loosen the two screws(1) and remove the front cover. 2.10.2 Removing flat indicator cover With the main cover removed, the indicator cover(2) (clear cover) can be removed with pressure from the backside.
V200 POSITIONER www.vac.se 2.10.5 Installing flat indicator cover Place the indicator cover(1) facing down to- ward the front cover. Press in the center of the indicator cover until it snaps into place. 2.10.6 Installing Dome Indicator cover Place the dome indicator cover(2) so that it is aligned with its seat in the front cover on one side.
V200 POSITIONER www.vacaccessories.com 2.11 Main supply filter for IP converter Changing the filter 1. Turn off or disconnect the main air supply. Should air supply not be disconnected or turned off, the pressure may cause the filter cover to eject from the unit. 2. Loosen the screw(1) and remove filter cover(2) 3. Cautiously remove the filter(3) with a sharp pointed object e.g. a pocket knife. 4. Press the new filter(3) into the housing. 5. Check the O-ring(4) and replace if needed.
V200 POSITIONER www.vac.se 2.12 Pilot valve Removal Remove the front cover and indicator. (see p.15) Loosen the pilot retaining screw(1). Lift the pilot valve(2) straight up. Cleaning Remove the gold plated spool(3) from the valve housing Clean the parts with a soft cloth and pipe cleaner using alcohol, acetone or something similiar.
