N.B. If the positioner is installed in a hazardous environment, it must be of a type approved for this purpose. The D3 positioner has an ISO F05 footprint, A. The holes are used to attach it to the mounting bracket B, which is suitable for most types of linear actuator.
The D3 Ex positioner has an ISO F05 footprint, A. The holes are used to attach it to the mounting bracket B, which is suitable for most types of linear actuators. The spindle adapter C can be changed to suit the actuator in question, see previous page.
Single action positioner (Direct function) Actuator with closing spring When the control signal increases, the C– pressure C+ to the actuator is increased. The valve spindle moves upward and rotates the positioner spindle counter-clockwise. When the control signal drops to zero, C+ is vented and the valve closes.

• Tighten the screws F, on the cam assembly. Do not tighten the screws to hard. The cams should be able to move in relation to each other. • Install the inner cover with the two screws, • Connect the wiring for the transmitter feed- back on the terminal block, according to the drawing on next page.
Disassembling PMV D3 Ex • Loosen the screws A and B and remove the caps C och D. • Remove the inner display cover E by loosening the four screws F. • Carefully remove the display board and loosen the connections H and I.
Filter change, D3 and D3 Ex Turn off the compressed air supply before starting any work. Otherwise the filter can be uncontrollably blown out of the positioner by the air pressure, which can be dangerous. • Remove the filter cap using a coin of suitable size.
• Install the enclosured wire between G and O on the transmiter board. • Connect the wiring between terminals 3, 4, 5 in the D3 unit and 3, 4, 5 in the remote unit. Use a shielded wire and ground it in the D3 unit only.
