1. Introduction The PMV P3 is a modular Positioner sys- tem designed for use on control valves with linear motion. The basic unit is the P3 posi- tioner, which is available for single acting. The I/P converter can be integral, located in Safety instruction a separate mounted module (Ex), or located Read the safety instructions in this...

4. Variants Standard designs P3/EP3 is available single acting. I/P converter can be integral or located elsewhere. P3/EP3 Pneumatic, single acting, to be connected to an external I/P converter. EP3, EP3IS Electro-pneumatic, single , with integral I/P converter. Intrinsically safe model also available.
5. Function General The P3 positioner operates on the force balance principle. Changes are initiated by the signal pressure from the I/P converter. The functionality is described briefly below. Single action Relay Feedback arm diaphragm Venting To/from Plug actuator valve Signal pressure supply...
