Operation Adjusting the switching point Move the valve to the switching point and adjust the tag by turning the adjustment screw (53) so that the switching point is reached and indicated by the LED on the switching amplifier. To guarantee the switching under all ambient conditions, adjust the switching point ap- prox. 2 % before the mechanical stop (OPEN/CLOSED).
Operation 5.4 Adjusting the position Zero point transmitter Use the switches 1 and 2 to roughly set the zero point and the ZERO potentiometer for fine-tuning. The adjusted value is always NOTICE based on a 4 mA signal. The starting point (zero) and upper range Span value (span) must be set before adjusting the position transmitter.

Operation Note The following applies to positioners with adapter housing for NAMUR attachment: When the positioner and the position transmitter signal have different operating directions (<< 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.
