  • Page 112: Adjusting Inductive Limit Switch

    Operating the positioner 7.8 Adjusting inductive limit switch The positioner version with an inductive limit switch has an adjustable tag (1) mounted on the axis of rotation, which operates the proximity switch (3). For operation of the inductive limit switch, the corresponding switching amplifier (see sec- tion 5.16.2) must be connected to the output circuit. When the tag (1) is located in the inductive field of the switch, the switch assumes a high re- sistance. When it moves outside the field, the switch assumes a low resistance. Normally, the limit switch is adjusted in such a way that it will provide a signal in both end positions of the valve.

Adjust the tag at the yellow adjustment screw (2) until the tag enters or leaves the field and the switching amplifier responds. You can measure the switching voltage as an indicator. Contact function: − Tag leaving the field > contact is closed. − Tag entering the field > contact is opened. For OPEN position: Initialize the positioner. Move the valve to 95 % in the MAN mode (see display). Adjust the tag (1) at the yellow adjustment screw (2) until the tag enters or leaves the field of the proximity switch (3).
