Page 10: Notes On Possible Personal Injury
Safety instructions and measures 1.2 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Risk of personal injury due to moving parts on the valve. During initialization of the positioner and during operation, the valve moves through its entire travel range. Injury to hands or fingers is possible if they are inserted into the valve. Î During initialization, do not insert hands or fingers into the valve yoke and do not touch any moving valve parts. Sudden loud noise when the pneumatic actuator vents.
Page 11: Special Instructions Concerning Explosion Protection
Safety instructions and measures Malfunction due to initialization not yet completed. The initialization causes the positioner to be calibrated to adapt it to the mounting situa- tion. After initialization is completed, the positioner is ready for use. Î Initialize the positioner on first start-up. Î Re-initialize positioner after changing the mounting position. Risk of positioner damage due to incorrect grounding of the electric welding equipment.

The set point range is the difference between w-end and w-start and must be Δw ≥ 25 % = 4 mA.
Page 164 Annex A (configuration instructions) Menu Adjustment range/values [default setting]/description Lower x-range value 8.1.5 [0.0] to 99.0 % Lower range value for travel/angle in nominal or operating range The operating range is the actual travel/angle of the valve and is limited by the lower travel/angle range value and the upper travel/angle range value. Usually, the operating range and the nominal range are identical. The nominal range can be limited to the operating range by the lower and upper x-range values. The value is displayed or must be entered.
