Safety instructions General safety instructions The positioner may only be assembled, started up or operated by trained and experienced personnel familiar with the product. According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel is referred to as individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the relevant stan- dards.

Design and principle of operation Positioner with position transmitter A positioner containing a position transmit- ter cannot be equipped with integrated limit switches or an integrated solenoid valve since the position transmitter requires most of the space inside. The position transmitter is used to establish a certain relationship be- tween the valve position, i.e.
