    (discrete) form for fitting via a mount kit to any 90 degree rotary or linear actuator. If the positioner is supplied ready mounted on an actuator, sections 2.1 & 2.2 can be bypassed. Positioner-type Kinetrol actuators (ready for direct mount of positioners) are available in models 050 to 140 inclusive.
  • Page 3 2.3.3 External Actuator Ports. For positioners not fitted directly onto Kinetrol Positioner type Actuators, two external ports are provided for connecting the positioner outlets to the actuator. The size of the ports is dependant on the positioner ordering code. These ports can also be used for fitting pressure gauges if desired.

    Kinetrol actuators. The feedback cam is retained by a coupling which, in the case of a Kinetrol direct mounted positioner, is held onto the vane square by a collet. For discrete versions, the coupling is retained in bearings and connected by either a male square or 'Namur' style connector.
  • Page 5: Settings And Adjustments

    Title: Installation & Maintenance – AP Pneumatic Positioner 4. SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS. The positioner will have been factory set to the requirements given in the ordering code ( i.e. the direction of rotation for a rising pressure signal and the range and zero settings). However, if these settings need to be changed, the following section describes the procedure for achieving this.
  • Page 6 'HP'. This method, however, not only effects the actuator speed but also effects the 'gain' and therefore control stability of the unit and care must be taken not to specify a too high flow valve for a given size of actuator. Kinetrol Ltd has recommendations (shown in the AP literature) for each size of the actuator b.) adjustment of the built in flow restrictors (shown in Figure 4) is achieved using a screwdriver.
  • Page 7: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Title: Installation & Maintenance – AP Pneumatic Positioner 5. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING. The AP positioner is designed for a long life with very little maintenance required if it is supplied with clean, dry oil free air, as recommended in section 2.3.
  • Page 8: Angle Retransmit Option

    Title: Installation & Maintenance – AP Pneumatic Positioner 6. ANGLE RETRANSMIT OPTION. 6.1.1 Move actuator vane to mid travel position, with its output square as shown in Figure 1. This is advisable to prevent subsequent error in orientating positioner coupling. (This is not necessary with spring return actuators as there can be no confusion with square orientation).
  • Page 9 Title: Installation & Maintenance – AP Pneumatic Positioner 6.2.4 Pull the two halves of the coupling apart sufficiently to allow the cam to be withdrawn from its location peg. Flip the cam over and push it back into the slot between the two coupling halves and locate it back on the peg.
  • Page 10 Title: Installation & Maintenance – AP Pneumatic Positioner 6.4.6 If when the coupling was removed, the collet was left behind on the actuator connection, remove the collet from the connection and push it into the lower half of the coupling ensuring that it locates in the semicircular 'pip' and tighten the clamping screw by two turns.
