Design and principle of
operation
The electropneumatic positioner is mounted
on pneumatic control valves. It is used to as-
sign the valve stem position (controlled vari-
able x) to the control signal (reference vari-
able w). The electric control signal received
from a control system is compared to the
travel or rotational angle of the control valve
and a signal pressure (output variable y) is
produced for the pneumatic actuator.
The positioner consists of an anisotropic
magnetoresistive (AMR) sensor (2), an ana-
log i/p converter (7) with a downstream
booster and the electronics unit with
microcontroller (4).
The travel or opening angle is measured by
the pick-up lever connected to a magnet and
a non-contact AMR sensor (2) installed in
the housing and the electronics.
The motion of the pick-up lever causes the
direction of the magnetic field to change.
This change is sensed by the AMR sensor.
The microprocessor determine the momen-
tary valve position from this information.
The position of the valve is transmitted to the
microcontroller (4) over the A/D converter
(3). The PD control algorithm in the micro-
processor (4) compares this actual position
to the 4 to 20 mA control signal (reference
variable) after it has been converted by the
A/D converter (3).
In case of a system deviation, the operation
of the i/p converter (6) is changed so that
the actuator (1) is filled or vented by the
downstream air capacity booster (7).
The pneumatic air capacity booster (7) and
the pressure regulator (8) are supplied with
supply air.
The output signal pressure supplied by the
booster can be limited to 2.4 bar by soft-
ware.
The volume restriction Q (10) is used to opti-
mize the positioner by adapting it to the ac-
tuator size.
Tight-closing function
The pneumatic actuator is completely filled
with air or vented as soon as the reference
variable falls below 1 % or exceeds 99 %
(see end positions set over parameter codes
P10 and P11).
Air to open (ATO): P10 � ON; P11 � OFF

ment, the signal pressure is routed either left
or right of the yoke through a bore to the
actuator diaphragm.
Depending on the fail-safe action of the ac-
tuator "Actuator stem extends" or "Actuator
stem retracts" (valve closes or opens if the
supply air fails), the switchover plate (9)
must first be attached to the actuator yoke.
Align the switchover plate with the corre-
sponding symbol for left or right attachment
according to the marking (view looking onto
the switchover plate).
1. Mount connecting plate (6) or pressure
gauge bracket (7) with pressure gauges
onto the positioner, making sure both
seal rings (6.1) are seated properly.

Attachment to rotary
actuators
The positioner is mounted to the rotary actu-
ator using a mounting bracket.
Refer to Table 4 on page 27 for the re-
quired mounting parts as well as the acces-
sories.
Before attaching the positioner onto the
SAMSON Type 3278 Rotary Actuator
(160 cm²) or VETEC Type S160 Actuator,
first mount the adapter (13) to the free end
of the shaft end using four screws (11, 12).
NOTICE
On attaching the positioner as described be-
low, it is imperative that the actuator's direc-
tion of rotation is observed.
1. Place follower clamp (3) on the slotted
actuator shaft or adapter (13).
2. Place coupling wheel (4) with flat side
facing the actuator on the follower
clamp (3). Refer to Fig. 12 to align slot
so that it matches the direction of rota-
tion when the valve is in its closed posi-
tion.
3. Fasten the coupling wheel (4) and fol-
lower clamp (3) tightly onto the actuator
shaft using screw (4.1) and disk spring
(4.2).
4. Mount connecting plate (6) or pressure
gauge bracket (7) with pressure gauges
to the positioner, making sure both
O-rings are seated properly.
5
Fasten the mounting bracket (10) to the
actuator using four screws (10.1).
6. Unscrew the standard follower pin (2)
from the positioner's lever M (1). Use the
metal follower pin (Ø5) included in the
mounting kit and screw tight into the
bore for pin position 90°.
7. Place positioner on the mounting bracket
(10) and screw tight. Considering the
actuator's direction of rotation, adjust le-
ver (1) so that it engages in the slot of
the coupling wheel (4) with its follower
pin (see Fig. 13). It must be guaranteed
that the lever (1) is parallel to the long
side of the positioner when the actuator
is at half its angle of rotation.
8. Stick the scale label on the coupling
wheel so that the arrow tip indicates the
closed position and it can be easily read
when the valve is installed.

The threaded connections in the positioner
housing are not designed for the direct con-
nection of pneumatic fittings!
The screw fittings must be screwed into the
connecting plate, the pressure gauge mount-
ing block or the connection block from the
accessories.
The pneumatic connections are optionally
designed as a bore with ¼ NPT or G ¼
thread.
The customary fittings for metal and copper
pipes or plastic hoses can be used.
Keep the length of the line as short as possi-
ble to avoid delays in control signal trans-
mission.
Note: The supply air must be dry and free
from oil and dust.
The maintenance instructions for upstream
pressure reducing stations must be ob-
served.
Blow through all air pipes and hoses thor-
oughly prior to connecting them.
If the positioner is attached directly to the
Type 3277 Actuator, the connection of the
positioner's output pressure to the actuator is
fixed.
For attachment according to IEC 60534-6
(NAMUR), the signal pressure can be routed
to either the top or bottom diaphragm
chamber of the actuator, depending on the
actuator's fail-safe action "Actuator stem ex-
tends" or "Actuator stem retracts".
For rotary actuators, the manufacturer's
specifications for connection apply.
5.1.1 Signal pressure gauges
To monitor the supply air (Supply) and sig-
nal pressure (Output), we recommend
mounting pressure gauges (see accessories
in section 4.5).
5.1.2 Supply pressure
The required supply air pressure depends on
the bench range and the actuator's operat-
ing direction (fail-safe action).
The bench range is registered on the name-
plate either as spring range or signal pres-
sure range depending on the actuator. The
direction of action is marked FA or FE, or by
a symbol.
Actuator stem extends FA (Air to open)
Fail-safe position "Valve Closed"
(for globe and angle valves):
Required supply pressure = Upper bench
range value + 0.2 bar, minimum 1.4 bar.
Actuator stem retracts FE (Air to close)
Fail-safe position "Valve Open"
(for globe and angle valves):
For tight-closing valves, the maximum signal
pressure pstmax is roughly estimated as fol-
lows:
pstmax = F + d

WARNING!
Do not perform a start-up while the process
is running.
On applying supply air and the electric con-
trol signal, the control valve may move
through its entire travel range/rotational an-
gle range depending on the setting.
� Connect the supply air (Supply 9).
� Connect the 4 to 20 mA signal (terminals
+11/–12). Do not touch the key panel!
Note: After connecting the electrical signal
(power supply), the positioner performs a
calibration of the capacitive keys which
takes approx. three seconds. During this
time, do not touch the key panel. Otherwise,
the keys will not work properly.
Disconnect and reconnect the electrical sig-
nal to restart the calibration of keys.
LOW on the display indicates that the refer-
ence variable is lower than 4 mA (0 %).
The positioner is ready for operation with its
default settings for most applications, pro-
vided it has been mounted properly.
Note: The positioner needs to be initialized
again after the position of the volume re-
striction has been changed.
The positioner also needs to be initialized
again after the setting for the fail-safe posi-
tion has been changed.

tation has been exceeded.
The positioner goes to the fail-safe position
(SAFE).
Make sure that the lever and pin position
match the details as described in section 4.
Note: The positioner has a function to moni-
tor the working range.
If the lever moves too close to the mechani-
cal stops (risk of mechanical damage), the
positioner vents the actuator and the valve
moves to its fail-safe position (S displayed
together with error code E8).
In this case, check the positioner attachment.
Reset the displayed error code by selecting

the signal pressure required by the control
valve.
The type and extent of self-adaptation de-
pends on the preset parameters.
MAX is the default setting for the nominal
range (Code P4).
During the initialization process, the
positioner determines the travel/rotational
angle of the closing element from the
CLOSED position as far as it will go in the
other direction.
Alternatively, a different travel can be se-
lected in Code P4. Refer to section 8.
WARNING!
During the initialization, the control valve
moves through its entire travel/angle of ro-
tation range. Therefore, do not start initial-
ization while a process is running, but only

match the values determined during initial-
ization. See Code E1 (refer to section 8).
Press
or
past Code P 0 or P 20, the
respective error code E0 to E15 together
with ERR appear on the display.
Refer to the code list in section 8 for the
cause of the errors and the recommended
action.
Example:
If, for instance, a travel has been entered
over Code P4 (nominal range) which is
larger than the maximum valve travel possi-
ble, the initialization process would be inter-
rupted (error code E2) because the rated
travel would not have been reached (error
code E6). The valve moves to the fail-safe
position (S indicated on the display).

Servicing explosion-protected
devices
If a part of the device on which the explo-
sion protection is based needs to be ser-
viced, the device must not be put back into
operation until a qualified inspector has as-
sessed it according to explosion protection
requirements, has issued an inspection cer-
tificate or given the device a mark of confor-
mity.
Inspection by a qualified inspector is not re-
quired if the manufacturer performs a rou-
tine test on the device prior to putting it back
into operation. The passing of the routine
test must be documented by attaching a
mark of conformity to the device. Replace
explosion-protected components only by
original, routine-tested components from the
manufacturer.
Devices that have already been operated
outside hazardous areas and are intended
for future use inside hazardous areas must
comply with the safety requirements placed
on serviced devices. Before being used in-
side hazardous areas, test the devices ac-
cording to the specifications for servicing
explosion-protected devices.
