1.0 MOUNTING AND SETUP


Step 1 Place the mounting bracket on the
underside of the positioner. Tighten the
mounting bolts and lock washers.

Step 2 Position the output shaft of the


positioner so that the flat (1) portion is 1
facing upwards.

Step 3 Insert the coupler over the output shaft.


Ensure proper alignment of the coupler’s
set screw with the flat side of the shaft
before tightening the set screw.

Step 4 Position the yellow indicator on the base


of the coupler.

1.0 MOUNTING AND SETUP (Continued)


Step 5 Position the positioner on the actuator
and tighten the mounting screws.

Step 6 Insert the pneumatic fittings on the


positioner and actuator before inserting
tubing into the outputs of the positioner
to the inputs of the actuator.

Note: Supply air will be routed to Y1 in


the event of a signal loss (fail condition.)

Single acting actuators release air from


Y1 upon loss of signal.

For double-acting actuators, make sure


Y1 is connected to the desired port for
fail position.

Step 7 Position the yellow ‘Transmission Ratio


Selector’ tab (2) in the 90° position by 2
pushing it away from the labeled side of
the device.

Step 8 Adjust the yellow clutch wheel (3) on the


underside of the terminals using a 4 mm
wide screwdriver to the 90° position.

Step 17 Note: If an error is displayed on your


positioner during Run 2, the lower
tolerance (down tolerance) of the
adjustment wheel has been exceeded.
(If no errors are displayed, skip ahead to
step 8.)

Step 17a Adjust the gray friction clutch adjustment


wheel until the screen displays a 6 in the
top right hand corner.
If the clutch wheel is difficult to turn,
ensure that:
> The yellow locking wheel under the
friction clutch adjustment wheel is not
locked (rotate right)
> The friction clutch adjustment wheel
is not near the end of travel at either
the high or low end (If so, rotate in the
opposite direction to allow enough
rotation to complete a successful
calibration).

ensure that the desired travel limits are
being attained.

Step 21 Step 11: Toggle between Manual (“MAN”)


and ‘AUTO’ mode by pressing the
Menu Button .

Step 22 Step 12: While in ‘AUTO’ mode, test the


responsiveness of the device by varying
the command signal from 4 mA to
20 mA.

Step 23 Upon completion of calibration, insert


a 4 mm wide screwdriver into the slot
located under the adjustment wheel and
turn the wheel left until you can feel that
it clicks in. This helps prevent the clutch
wheel from slipping during actuation.
