Page 7: Safety Instructions And Measures
In case operators intend to use the positioner in other applications or con- ditions than specified, contact SAMSON. SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de- vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external factors.
Page 8 Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment. Revisions and other modifications Revisions, conversions or other modifications of the product are not authorized by SAMSON. They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur- thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Page 9 EN 60079-17 applies to servicing explosion-protected devices. − Maintenance, calibration and work on equipment The protective cable designed by SAMSON must be used when interconnecting non-in- trinsically safe set point calibrators with intrinsically safe equipment for repair, calibra- tion, etc. to ensure that components relevant to explosion protection are not damaged.

Position the AIR TO OPEN/AIR TO CLOSE slide switch according- − AIR TO OPEN setting Signal pressure opens the valve, e.g. for a fail-close valve The AIR TO OPEN setting always applies to double-acting actuators. − AIR TO CLOSE setting Signal pressure closes the valve, e.g. for a fail-open valve For checking purposes: after successfully completing initialization, the positioner display must read 0 % when the valve is closed and 100 % when the valve is open. If this is not the case, change the slide switch position and re-initialize the positioner.

NOTICE The process is disturbed by the movement of the actuator or valve. Do not perform the initialization while the process is running.
Page 101 Operating the positioner This mode allows a positioner to be replaced while the plant is running, with the least amount of disruption to the plant (see section 7.6.5). For normal operation, simply start initialization by pressing the INIT key after mounting the positioner on the valve and defining the fail-safe position and setting the volume restriction. The positioner only needs to work with its default settings. If necessary, perform a reset (see section 7.9).

Page 115: Adjusting Inductive Limit Switch
Operating the positioner 7.8 Adjusting inductive limit switch The positioner version with an inductive limit switch has an adjustable tag (1) mounted on the axis of rotation, which operates the proximity switch (3). For operation of the inductive limit switch, the corresponding switching amplifier (see sec- tion 5.16.2) must be connected to the output circuit. When the tag (1) is located in the inductive field of the switch, the switch assumes a high re- sistance. When it moves outside the field, the switch assumes a low resistance. Normally, the limit switch is adjusted in such a way that it will provide a signal in both end positions of the valve.
Page 116 Operating the positioner For CLOSED position: 1. Initialize the positioner. 2. Move the valve to 5 % in the MAN mode (see display). 3. Adjust the tag at the yellow adjustment screw (2) until the tag enters or leaves the field and the switching amplifier responds. You can measure the switching voltage as an indicator. Contact function: − Tag leaving the field > contact is closed. − Tag entering the field > contact is opened. For OPEN position: Initialize the positioner. Move the valve to 95 % in the MAN mode (see display). Adjust the tag (1) at the yellow adjustment screw (2) until the tag enters or leaves the field of the proximity switch (3).
