G e n e r a l i n f o r m a t i o n 1.1 Information for your safety We are pleased that you have decided for a high-class GUTH product. With correct application and adequate maintenance, our products provide long time and reliable operation.
S a f e t y i n s t r u c t i o n s NOTICE • Before commencing installation, commissioning or other work on the control valve please read this manual. The manual is only valid for the described valve actuators and the DigiPos posi- tioner. 2 . 1 I n t e n d e d u s e The DigiPos positioner is only approved for the applications which we have specified.
The DigiPos is an electronic positioner for pneumatically operated modulating valves. It is suitable for membrane, piston and rotary actuators. The DigiPos is adjusted in accordance with the respective valve during final assembly at the works via an RS232 interface.

Do not overturn the thread by using excessive force. Place the DigiPos without the protective cover onto the actuator and align the control air connection of the basic body with the air connection of the actuator. Scope of supply: Air supply connection: >>...
Place DigiPos without protective cover on actuator and align. The hole on the top of the actuator (air connection) must be aligned with the hole on the underside of the basic body (control air duct).
C o n n e c t i o n o f t h e e l e c t r i c l i n e s During assembly or during the welding of valves with factory-assembled DigiPos in pipes, make sure that the electrical connection is made only after the assembly and welding operations.
The end positions of the position encoder are then meas- ured and permanently programmed in the DigiPos. During stroke alignment a flashing "A." appears on the position display. When alignment has been completed a permanent "A0" appears on the position display.
• Always observe the technical data given in this manual. • The steel protective cover of the DigiPos must always be screwed firmly in place. If this is not the case, protection class IP 65 cannot be guaranteed and the positioner can suffer damage resulting from penetrating media.
