CI_VP500_en Rev.0 2010-07-22 11

OnC ValvePos 500

Procedure:

1. Attach follower guide to actuator

Fig. 5

Important
Hand tighten the screws.
• Attach the follower guide (1) and clamp plates (2) with screws (4) and spring washers (3) to the
actuator stem

2. Mount the lever and bracket on the positioner

Fig. 6
• Attach the lever (6) to the feedback shaft (5) of the positioner (can only be mounted in one position due
to the flat on the side of the shaft)
• Using the arrow marks (4) check whether the lever moves within the operating range (between the
arrows)
• Hand-tighten the screw (7) on the lever
• Hold the prepared positioner with loose mount bracket (1) to the actuator so that the follower pin for the
lever enters the follower guide to determine which holes on the positioner must be used for the mount
bracket
• Attach the mount bracket (1) with screws (2) and shims (3) to the proper holes on the positioner
housing. Tighten the screws as evenly as possible to ensure subsequent linearity. Align the mount
bracket in the oblong hole to ensure that the operating range is symmetrical (lever moves between the
arrows (4))

OnC ValvePos 500

Fig. 9: Linkage for positioner

1 larger
2 smaller

The scale on the lever indicates the link point for the various stroke ranges of the valve.
Move the bolt with the follower guide into the oblong hole of the lever to adjust the stroke range of the
valve to the operating range for the position sensor.
Moving the link point inward increases the rotation angle of the sensor. Moving the link point outward
reduces the sensor's rotation angle.

Adjust the actuator stroke to make use of as large an angle of rotation as possible (symmetrical around the
center position).

Recommended range for linear actuators: between -28 ... 28°

Minimum angle: 25°

Important
After mounting the unit check whether the positioner is operating within the sensor range.

• Calculate the rotational direction of the actuator (right or left)
• Move the rotary actuator into home position
• Based on the mounting position as well as the home position and rotational direction of the
actuator, determine in which position the feedback shaft (1) for the positioner must be pre-
adjusted and in which position the adapter (2) must be placed to enable the positioner to
travel within the proper range (the arrow on the rear of the device must travel within the
admissible range, see Fig. 2)
• Pre-adjust feedback shaft
• Place the adapter in the proper position on the feedback shaft and fasten with set screws (3).

Important
The OnC ValvePos 500 positioner must be supplied with instrument air that is free of oil, water
and dust.
The purity and oil content should meet the requirements of Class 3 according to
DIN/ISO 8573-1.

Notice - Potential damage to parts!

Impurities on the pipe and positioner can damage components.
The recommended pipe dimension is 6 x 1 mm. Dust, splinters or any other particles must be
blown off the pipe before connecting.

To connect the air pipes, G1/4 or 1/4-18 NPT tap holes are provided. We recommend that you
use a line with the 6 x 1 mm dimensions.

Notice - Potential damage to parts!

Pressure above 6 bar (90 psi) can damage the positioner or actuator.
Provisions should be made to ensure that in the event of an error the pressure does not rise
above 6 bar (90 psi).

All pneumatic piping connections are located on the right side of the positioner. To connect the
pneumatic pipes, G1/4 or 1/4-18 NPT tap holes are provided. The positioner is labeled
according to the tap holes available. The corresponding pipe connections must be included.
The level of supply pressure must be adjusted to the output pressure in the actuator required to
provide increased actuating force. The operating range for the positioner is between 1.4 ... 6 bar
(20 ... 90 psi).

Arrange the connections according to their marks:

Designation Pipe connection
- Air supply, pressure 1.4 ... 6 bar (20 ... 90 psi)
OUT1 Output pressure for actuator
OUT2 Output pressure for actuator (2nd connection with double-acting actuator)

The positioner OnC ValvePos 500 is intended for mounting on single- and double-acting
pneumatic actuators.
Important
When used on single-acting pneumatic actuators, the OUT2 connection must be sealed using
a G1/4 or 1/4-18 NPT plug.
