System description
"In rest position" means that the pilot valves of the posi-
tioner Type 8696 are isolated or not actuated.
If the ambient air is humid, a hose can be connected between
pilot air outlet 2
of the positioner and the unconnected pilot
2
air port of the third-party device for control function A or
control function B. As a result, the spring chamber of the
third-party device is supplied with dry air from the vent duct
of the positioner.
