Series 185
The Series 185 and 285 Smart Positioners control valve movements accurately
using an input signal of 4 to 20 mA from the controller. In addition, a highly efficient
microprocessing operator built into the product performs various functions such as
auto calibration, PID control, alarm and Hart
Features
• LCD allows the user to directly check the positioner condition in the field.
• Endures severe vibration.
• Operates normally regardless of changes in supply pressure during operation.
• Simple to use auto calibration.
• Easily equipped on small actuators because of its small size.
• Low air consumption reduces operating cost.
• Can be used in low voltage (8.5 V), leaving no limitation in controller.
• Variable orifice is applied in case of a small actuator; the hunting is controlled
to the optimum condition during operation.
• HART
communication processes various information for the valve and
®
positioner.
• Valve system is stabilized by outputting analog feedback signal.
• The adjustment of valve characteristics (linear, quick open, equal percentage)
is available.
• Specific flow control is available with setting 16 points at users' command.
• Tight shut-close and shut-open can be set voluntarily.
• PID parameters can easily be adjusted in the field without additional
communicator.
• The pressure of air filter regulator is sent directly to actuator using A/M
switch.
• Split ranges such as 4 to 20 mA, with 12 to 20 mA available.
• Setting zero and span as partial section is available by hand calibration
function.
• The valve defect is easily checked because the valve can be operated
voluntarily.
• Air filter regulator can be attached to the product with only one linear nipple
without extra piping.
