DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Technical Specifications Model P36C Both Models Model P41C Input signal 20–100 kPa 3–15 psi 4–20mA Linearity =<0,5% =<0,75% Hysterisis =<1% =<0,75% Repeatability =<0,5% =<0,5% 1000 (kPa/kPa) Gain factor at 80% load.
DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Description The positioner is a precision instrument which, when used in conjunction with a DeZURIK actuator, can provide the exacting control necessary to satisfy the most demanding process requirements. The model P36C will accept a 3-15psi, 3-9psi, or 9-15 psi input signal.
Air Connections Air connections are for 1/4" NPT male connectors and are marked on the positioner. Gauge ports are for 1/8" NPT. DeZURIK recommends Loctite® 577 tape or similar for sealing. Port I Input instrument pneumatic signal 3-15 psi (20-100kPa)
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Installation (Continued) The outlet port is used for venting the positioner. All air from the positioner, actuator and I/P unit is vented to atmosphere through this port. Do not plug this port. A high flow silencer or an exhaust pipe can be connected to the outlet port to prevent foreign objects from entering and blocking the exhaust.
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Reversing the Positioner Action To change the positioner action from increasing signal to OPEN to increasing signal to CLOSE, or vice versa, follow the steps below. Moving parts from accidental operation of power actuator can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Cam Adjustment Figure 5 – Cam Adjustment 1. With the cover and indicator removed, loosen the screw (1) and turn the cam locking nut (2) counterclockwise until the cam loosens. See Figure 5.
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Resetting the Range Spring If the correct span cannot be obtained after 2 or 3 zero/span adjustments, reset the range spring as follows: 1. Disconnect air supply and remove the range spring from the positioner.
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators I/P Electric Control Unit, P41C The I/P Unit The I/P unit is mounted directly on top of the positioner. Span and Zero for the I/P converter are factory set. No external air supply is needed, as the I/P unit is supplied with air from the positioner. The I/P unit accepts a 4–20 mA input signal.
DeZURIK PMV P36C and P41C Positioners used with DeZURIK Pneumatic Actuators Installing I/P Unit On Positioner Positioners installed in hazardous areas can be ignition sources. Ensure positioners used in hazardous areas have proper fire/explosion ratings. 1. Turn off the supply air and remove the connecting block (1), gauge or plug from port IP, and the existing gasket (4) between the positioner (2) and connecting block.
