Introduction IP8001 smart positioner is mounted on a pneumatic actuator to receive a 2-wire 4 to 20mADC input current from an adjusting meter (controller), to operate a pneumatic pilot valve and to control motion of the pneumatic actuator by electronic control feedback. Also, it has setting parameters which can optionally change the relation between the input current and actuator opening.

Workflow of IP8001 Positioner Setup The workflow of IP8001 smart positioner from setup to initial adjustment is shown below. Follow this flow when performing setups and adjustments of the positioner. Start setup Check Check the specification and ensure the positioner is specifications suitable for the connected actuator and application.
Operating Principle When the input current (4 to 20mADC) increases, the current which is applied to the coil of the torque motor (12) through the input, operation and output processing circuits (8) changes, causing the armature (13) to start rotating with the fulcrum of the leaf spring (11). Along with this, a gap is created between nozzle (6) and flapper (5), and nozzle back pressure decreases.
Mounting Warning 1. Confirm the positioner is securely and firmly mounted onto the actuator. 2. Be careful not to get a finger caught when matching mounting positions. Caution 1. Be sure to keep the necessary space available for maintenance work (piping, wiring, adjustment, etc.) in your setup location.
■Connection of Feedback Lever Fig. 7 (1) Attach to the positioner that the valve stem and feedback lever form the right angle when the input current is 50% (distribute evenly with 50% input current set as the reference). (2) Attach to the positioner that the operation angle of feedback lever is within the range of 10 2: Do not impact on the feedback shaft of the positioner when the feedback lever connected with the valve stem or installed in the positioner.
Piping Warning Do not touch near the actuator axis when supplying air after piping. Caution 1. Perform sufficient pipe flushing and remove cutting chips, oil and dust from the piping to prevent foreign matter from entering the positioner. 2. When connecting an SMC fitting to an air connection port (SUP, OUT1, OUT2), apply a tightening torque of 12 to 14Nm.
Electrical Wiring Warning 1. Be sure to perform electrical wiring with the input current turned off. 2. Be sure to use a ground terminal and perform electrical construction following relevant local regulations. 3. Do not touch around the actuator axis when applying an input current after electrical wiring. 4.
■Electrical Wiring HART Input current communication terminal Terminal No. Power supply Load voltage A Power supply voltage Load Power supply voltage Load Fig. 10 Table 8 Terminal no. Description Electric wire diameter Remarks 2 4 to 20mA DC It corresponds to the 0.14~1.5mm Minimum input current of 3.85mA input current stranded wire and AWG26-14.
ATEX Intrinsic Safety Type of Explosion Protected Construction Warning 1. A positioner must be energized only after wiring via a barrier. 2. Use a linear resistance type barrier based on intrinsically safe parameter for the input circuit. 3. If a positioner is used as intrinsic safety type of explosion protected construction for ATEX, connect it only to the intrinsically safety electric circuit with the following maximum value.
Description of Components Fig. 13 shows a description of each component. Board cover HART terminal LCD display Input current terminal (Hold down together) Analog output Set button terminal Alarm output UP button terminal Ground terminal Torque motor DOWN button terminal Potentiometer terminal Mode button Fig.
Initial Adjustment Warning 1. Pay attention to your surroundings when performing the initial adjustment because it causes the positioner to automatically move the actuator. 2. The positioner stroke reaches both ends during initial adjustment, so it cannot be used with an actuator that can be damaged by strokes to both ends.

Maintenance and Check Warning ① After installation, repair and disassembling, connect compressed air and perform a proper function test and leak test. If bleed noise is louder than the initial state or operation is abnormal, stop operation and check if installation is proper or not. Modification of electrical construction is prohibited due to maintaining Explosion-Protected construction function.
Caution on Handling ■Operation Warning ① If the system is supposed to be in danger because of failure of the positioner, prepare the system with a safety circuit to avoid danger. ② Do not place electrical wiring in hazardous places while energized. Caution ①...
■Handling Caution ① Avoid giving impact to the body and torque motor of positioner, and giving excessive force to armature because it leads to failure. Handle with care during transport and operation. ② When the positioner is used in places subject to vibrations, it is recommended that a tie wrap be used to prevent the lead wires from breaking.
