    BULLETIN F-56 PAGE 3 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Model 150P Valve Positioner is a cam characterized, double-acting, pneumatic valve positioner that accepts a 3-15 or 3-27 psig input signal and converts it to a pneumatic output to position a con- trol valve actuator. The Positioner can be used with either rectilinear or rotary, single or double acting actuators.

    BULLETIN F-56 PAGE 3 2.0 INSTALLATION This section provides information pertaining to installation of a Series 150N Valve Positioner. This entire section should be reviewed before proceeding with the installation. Positioner installation is dependent upon the type of valve actuator and its characteristics, and the effect of the valve on the process.

    BULLETIN F-56 PAGE 11 Dew Point - the dew point, at line pressure, should be least 10°C (18°F) below the minimum tempera- ture to which any part of the instrument air system is exposed at any season of the year. Under no cir- cumstances should the dew point, at line pressure, exceed 2°C (35.6°F).

  • Page 16: Calibration

    PAGE 16 BULLETIN F-56 3.0 CALIBRATION Calibrate a Positioner before placing it in service and after repair. Figure 3-1 locates the calibration adjustments. This section accommodates two styles of calibration adjustments: concentric and separate. The con- centric style is the most common and appears on current Positioners. To determine the style of calibration adjustment in the Positioner to be calibrated, read the following statements while referring to Figure 3-1.

  • Page 18 PAGE 18 BULLETIN F-56 2) CONCENTRIC - Adjust Range Spring active coils by loosening Range Spring Locknut and turning Range Spring. Four to four and one-half active coils are desired for a standard input span. SEPARATE - Adjust Range Spring active coils by loosening Range Spring Lockscrew and turning Range Spring.
  • Page 19 BULLETIN F-56 PAGE 19 SEPARATE - Turn Coarse Zero and Span Nut and Fine Zero Thumbwheel simultaneously in the same direction until valve is in desired position. Continue to turn Coarse Zero and Span Nut until Coarse Zero Lockscrew and Range Spring Locknut are accessible. 4) CONCENTRIC - Tighten Coarse Zero Lockscrew, then tighten Range Spring Locknut.

    PAGE 20 BULLETIN F-56 4.0 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The following describes a direct-acting Positioner operating a valve with a double-acting actuator in response to an increased input signal. Refer to Figure 4-1. The input signal, representing the desired valve position, is applied between the two diaphragms of the input diaphragm assembly.
