Attaching the positioner For selection of the required mounting parts, refer to Tables 1, 2 and 3 on page 15. Note! The positioner does not have its own vent plug. The air is exhausted via vent plugs lo- cated on the accessories (also see Figs. 3, 5 and 7).

Attaching the positioner Note! If, in addition to the positioner, a solenoid valve or a similar device is attached to the 120 cm actuator, the rear M3 screw must not be removed. In this case, the signal pres- sure has to be fed from the signal pressure output to the actuator via the required con- necting plate (see Table 2).

Attaching the positioner For selection of the required mounting parts, refer to Tables 4 and 5 on page 19. Note! Before you mount the parts, apply a signal pressure to the actuator so that the valve is set to 50 % of its travel. This will ensure the exact alignment of the lever (18) and the bracket (28).

Attaching the positioner In actuators with fail-safe position "Control valve open" (OPEN), the actuator must therefore be loaded with the max. signal pressure prior to aligning the cam disk. In springless actuators, the supply air must be connected. Note! With the valve closed, the starting point (bore hole) of the respective characteristic is to be aligned so that the center of rotation of the cam disk, the 0°...

Reversing amplifier for double-acting actuators → Note! If the fail-safe position of the actuator is changed subsequently by modifying the ac- tuator springs from "Actuator stem extends" to "Actuator stem retracts", the mechanical zero point must be readjusted and the posi- tioner must be initialized again.

Connections Note! The supply air must be dry and free of oil 2...3mm and dust. The maintenance instructions for upstream pressure reducing stations must be adhered to. Carefully purge all air tubes and hoses before connecting them. Fig. 8 ⋅ Mounting the pressure gauge EB 8382-2 EN...

Connections Note on selecting the cables and wires: If you are routing several intrinsi- cally safe circuits in one multi-core cable, you are required to observe paragraph 12 of EN 60079-14 and VDE 0165/8.98. Note especially that for commonly used insulation materials, such as polyethylene, the radial thickness of the conductor insulation must be at least 0.2 mm.

Operation Warning! Before putting the positioner into operation, carefully move the con- trol valve to its final position by covering the hole (manual oper- ation) on the cover plate (Fig. 11). Check whether the lever mechanism functions properly. If the maximum angle of rotation is exceeded by selecting the wrong lever mechanism or by sizing the mechanism improperly, the posi-...

Operation Note! Manual operation and activated final position functions can cause the actuator to be filled with the maximum supply pressure. Should this lead to impermissible forces occurring, the supply pressure must be restricted by a suitable re- ducing station. Fig.
