1 Design and principle of
operation
The electropneumatic positioner is used for
the correlation between the valve stem posi-
tion (controlled variable x) and the input sig-
nal (reference variable w) received from the
controller. In this case, the input signal ac-
cepted from the control device is compared
to the travel (valve stem position) of the con-
trol valve, and a pneumatic signal pressure
(output variable y) is delivered.
The positioner consists of an i/p converter
unit (21) and the pneumatic section includ-
ing the lever (1), shaft (1.1) and range
spring (6), plus the control system compos-
ing nozzle, flapper and booster. The input
signal (e.g. 4 to 20 mA) is directly fed to the
i/p converter unit and converted to a pro-
portional air pressure signal pe. Any change
of the input current signal causes a propor-
tional change of the air pressure pesent to
the pneumatic control system.
The air pressure pe, in turn, produces a
force which acts on the surface of the mea-
suring diaphragm (8) and is compared to
the force of the range spring (6). The motion
of the diaphragm (8) is transferred to the
flapper (10.2) via the feeler pin (9.1), and
the nozzle (10.1) releases pressure. Any
change of either the air pressure peor the
valve stem position causes the pressure to
change in the booster (12) connected down-
stream of the nozzle. The signal pressure pst
which is released causes the plug stem to as-
sume a position based on the input signal.
The adjustable volume restriction Q (14) and
Xp (gain) restriction (13) are used to opti-
mize the control loop. The range spring (6),
which can be exchanged, is assigned to
both the rated valve travel and the nominal
voltage of the input signal.

2 Attachment
To attach the positioner to valves with cast
yokes, mounting parts (order no.
1400-5745) are used. For valves with
rod-type yokes (pillars), the mounting kit (or-
der no. 1400-5745) and additionally the
mounting kit (order no. 1400-5342) are
necessary (see also accessories table on
page 20).
Since the positioner can be attached on ei-
ther side of the valve, the physical location
(left or right attachment) should be deter-
mined before actual attachment (see corre-
sponding Figs. 7 to 10 in section 4.1).
2.1 Attachment to valves with
cast yokes
1. Fasten the plate (20) to the stem connec-
tor clamps (22) of the valve using the
screws (21).
2. Unscrew the positioner cover, and secure
the device to the valve yoke using the
mounting screw (15). The O-ring in-
cluded in the mounting kit is not required
for this device. Make sure that the pin (2)
is routed inside the wire strap and there-
fore clamped against the plate (20).

2.2 Attachment to valves with
rod-type yokes
1. Screw the plate (20), off-centered, to the
travel indicator (24) of the plug stem (23)
using the screws (21).
2. Place both the support (28) and the
clamping plate (26) on the rod (27) and
lightly fasten. Move the support until both
the center of the plate (20) and the sup-
port (28) are aligned at half the valve
travel.
3. Screw tight the support and clamping
plate.
4. Mount the positioner to the support using
the mounting screw (15). Make sure that
the pin (2) is led inside the wire strap
and therefore clamped against the plate
(20).
2.3 Cover of the positioner
housing
After attaching the positioner, make sure
that the vent plug on the cover of the
positioner housing points downwards after
the valve has been installed.

DANGER!
Risk of electric shock and/or the
formation of an explosive atmo-
sphere!
–
For electrical installation, observe the rel-
evant electrotechnical regulations and
the accident prevention regulations that
apply in the country of use.
–
The following regulations apply to
mounting and installation in hazardous
areas: EN 60079-14: 2008 Explosive
atmospheres – Part 14: Electrical instal-
lations design, selection and erection (or
VDE 0165 Part 1).
NOTICE
–
Adhere to the terminal assignment!
Switching the assignment of the electrical
terminals may cause the explosion pro-
tection to become ineffective!
–
Do not loosen enameled screws in or on
the housing.
–
The maximum permissible values speci-
fied in the national EC type examination
certificates apply when interconnecting
intrinsically safe electrical equipment (U

).
Selecting cables and wires:
Observe Clause 12 of EN 60079-14: 2008
when installing intrinsically safe circuits. The
Subclause 12.2.2.7 applies when running
multi-core cables containing more than one
intrinsically safe circuit.
In particular, the radial thickness of the con-
ductor insulation for common insulation ma-
terials, such as polyethylene, must have a
minimum radial thickness of 0.2 mm.
The diameter of an individual wire in a
fine-stranded conductor must not be smaller
than 0.1 mm. Protect the conductor ends
against splicing, e.g. by using wire-end fer-
rules.
When two separate cables are used for con-
nection, an additional cable gland can be
installed.
Seal cable entries left unused with plugs.
Devices used at ambient temperatures be-
low –20 °C must be fitted with metal cable
glands.
Equipment for use in zone 2/zone 22
In equipment operated with type of protec-
tion Ex nA II (non-sparking equipment) ac-
cording to EN 60097-15: 2003, circuits
may be connected, interrupted or switched
while energized only during installation,
maintenance or repair.
The wiring for the input signal is led using
cable glands to the terminals 11 (+) and 12
(–). The ground connection can be
connected inside or outside of the positioner
housing.
