Parts list for Figure 1: INTRODUCTION Item Part General view Beam Diaphragm piston The NE700 electro-pneumatic posiotioner is used for positioning Restriction double or single acting actuator. Feed-back shaft Camplate Principle of operation Lever 35.6 Range adjustment Operation is based on the torque balance. Force coil (152) located Internal feed-back spring in the field of the permanent magnet (168) creates a torque Feed-back spring...
NE700/U construction has CSA approval. The positioner is equipped with both VDI/VDE 3845 (S1) mounting face and Metso Automation (S2) mounting face. Both mounting CENELEC = European Committee for Electrotehnical Standardization faces require different shafts. S1: H coupling; S2: C coupling.

Instrument air supply jumper CAUTION: Do not exceed the permitted actuator supply air 47 F pressure! Rk=220 1000 The supply air must be clean, dry and oil-free instrument air, e.g. according to standard ISA S7.3-81. Supply pressure is 0.14-0.8 MPa (20-115 psi).
If in the field the valve overshoots, the spring (40) can be moved to PRELIMINARY ACTIONS FOR THE the ’a’ direction. If the valve goes into position too slowly the spring ADJUSTMENT can be moved to the ’e’ direction respectively. In sticker inside the cover (2) has also been shown the position for the Set the valve’s open and closed limits with the actuator limiter screws;...
α BASIC ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTMENT α Basic adjustment is made to rotary and butterfly valves. adjustment is made to segment and ball valves. This adjustment takes into account the "dead angle" α of the ball valve. The entire signal range Please note the procedures in Chapter 4 before the adjustment. is then used for effective valve opening 90°-α...
Table 5. Dead angle in degrees 5. Set the input signal to the other limit value. The valve should be entirely open at 100 %, i.e. 20 mA or at 0 %, i.e. 4 mA. The valve should start to operate to closed direction at 98 %, i.e. 19.7 mA Valve series or 4.3 mA.
Replacement of the diaphragms 8.4.3 Mounting the force coil-nozzle assembly Remove the spring (40) and loosen the screws (23). Remove the zero adjustment wheel, the screw (15) and the nut (16). Replace Check the O-ring (39) in the case and the location of the wire in the diaphragms (13, 14).
