Qualified Personnel Qualified personnel are people who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning, and operation of the product. These people have the following qualifications: − They are authorized, trained or instructed in operating and maintaining devices and systems according to
the safety regulations for electrical circuits, high pressures and aggressive as well as hazardous media. − For explosion-proof devices: They are authorized, trained, or instructed in carrying out work on electrical
circuits for hazardous systems. − Hey are trained or instructed in maintenance and use of appropriate safety equipment according to the
safety regulations. 3 Description 3.1 Function − The electro-pneumatic positioner, in combination with the drive, forms a regulation system. The current
position of the drive is detected using a servo potentiometer and is sent back as actual value x. The actual and target values are simultaneously displayed on the digital display.
− The setpoint w forms a current applied to the positioner, which in two-wire mode is also used to power the positioner. In 3- and 4-wire mode, power is supplied through a 24-V power input.
− The positioner works as a predictive five-point positioner, through whose output value ±∆y the integrated valves can be controlled by pulse length modulation.
− These positioning signals cause pressure changes in the drive chamber(s) and thus a repositioning of the drive until the regulation deviation returns to zero.
− Using three buttons and a digital display with the housing cover removed, operation (manual mode) and configuration (structuring, initialization, and parameterization) can be performed.
− Normally the basic device has one binary input (BE1). This can be individually configured, and is particu-larly provided for blocking the operating levels.
− To be able to use the positioner in a variety of mechanically different rotational and linear actuators, it has a friction clutch and a switchable gear.
3.2 Structure
The following chapters describe the mechanical and electrical structure, components, and principle functional-ity of the positioner. The positioner is used to adjust and regulate pneumatic drives. The positioner works electropneumatically, using compressed air as auxiliary power The positioner can e.g. regulate valves with: - Linear actuator (Figure 3-1) or - Quarter turn actuator VDI/VDE 3845 (Figure 3-2) For linear actuators, there are various add-on extensions available - NAMUR or. IEC 534 - integrated addition (ARCA, SAMSON) - integrated addition according to VDI/VDE 3847 You can mount the positioner on the usual drives and operate it with the usual drives.

3.3.2 Electric Connections
The connecting terminals for the base device, the optional analog, binary and slot initiator modules are ar-ranged at the front left-hand edge, and are displaced with respect to one another in a stepped pattern.
An assembly cover secures the components against being pulled out, and prevents incorrect assembly. 3.3.3 Pneumatic Connections

Figure 3-4 Pneumatic connections Connection versions
In addition, the rear of the positioner has pneumatic connections for integrated fitting of single-acting linear actuators: - actuating pressure Y1 - exhaust air outlet E
Except in cases of integrated ARCA fitting, these connections are closed by screws. The exhaust air outlet E can be used to supply the sensing area and the spring chamber with dry, instrumentation-quality air to prevent corrosion.
Figure 3-6 illustrates the versions of the pneumatic connections for the various types of actuator, the position-ing effect and the safety position after failure of the auxiliary power supply.
3.3.4 Purging Air Switch The purging air switch is accessible when the housing is open above the pneumatic connection strip on the valve block. − In the IN position the interior of the housing is flushed by very small quantities of clean, dry instrumentation-
quality air. − In the OUT position, the purging air is fed directly outside.
Figure 3-5 Purging air switch on the valve block
CAUTION
Before working on the control valve Note that before working on the control valve, you must first move it to the safety position. Make sure that the control valve has reached the safety position. If you only interrupt the pneumatic auxiliary power supply to the positioner, the safety position may in some cases only be attained after a certain delay period.

3.3.5 Restrictors Note The exhaust air valve is always open in the de-energized state. − In order to achieve floating times of > 1.5 s on small actuators, it is possible to reduce the air power by
means of the restrictors Y1 and Y2. − By turning to the right, the air power is reduced until it is completely blocked − In order to adjust the restrictors, it is recommended that they are closed and then slowly opened (see ini-
tialization RUN3). − In case of double-acting valves, ensure that both restrictors have approximately the same setting.

10 2 Lock washer A8 - DIN 127 - A2 11 2 Screw plug 12 1 O-ring 13 x 2.5
Mounting procedure (see Figure 4-1) 1. Adjust the pin (1) on the previously assembled lever to the value of the stroke range given on the actuator
or, if this is not available as a scale value, at the next largest scale value. In case of uncertainty with regard to the real actuator stroke (pneumatic actuators often have a travel resource) you always have to choose the next large scale value. The centre of the pin must be positioned at the scale value. The same value can later be set during the commissioning under the parameter 3.YWAY, in order to display the displacement in mm after the initialization.
2. Push the lever to the stop on the controller axis, and fix it with cylinder head screw (6). 3. Open the rear actuating pressure outlet by removing the screw (13) and the O-ring (14). 4. When fitting with spring chamber exhaust air supply open the exhaust air outlet by removing the screw (15)
and the O-ring (16). 5. Seal the actuating pressure outlet with screw plug (11). When fitting with exhaust air supply remove ex-
haust air silencer and seal. 6. Insert the O-ring (12) in the intermediate bracket recess. 7. Locate the positioner on the actuator in such a way that the roller passes between the pins (17). 8. Align the controller horizontally at the intermediate bracket, and assemble it with the screws (9) and lock
washers (10).
CAUTION
Humid environment/dry compressed air Install the positioner in a humid environment such that the positioner shaft does not freeze at low ambient temperatures. Ensure that water does not seep through an open enclosure or an open gland. Water may seep through if the positioner is not installed and connected on-site immediately and finally. As a general rule, the positioner must be operated only with dry compressed air. Therefore, use the custom-ary water separator. An additional dryer is required in extreme cases. The use of dryers is especially impor-tant when you operate the positioner at low ambient temperatures. Set the Purge air switch to the "OUT" position when installing on the pneumatic block, above the pneumatic connections.

Assembly procedure (see Figure 4-3) 1. Assemble the clamping pieces (3) using the hexagonal screws (14) and lock washers (13) to the actuator
spindle. 2. Push the sensing hoop (2) into the cut-outs in the clamping piece. Adjust to the required length, and tight-
ened the screws so that it is still just possible to push the sensing handle. 3. Adjust the pin (4) on the previously assembled lever to the value of the stroke range given on the actuator
or, if this is not available as a scale value, at the next largest scale value. In case of uncertainty with regard to the real actuator stroke (pneumatic actuators often have a travel resource) you always have to choose the next large scale value. The centre of the pin must be positioned at the scale value. The same value can later be set during the commissioning under the parameter 3.YWAY, in order to display the displacement in mm after the initialization.
4. Push the lever to the stop on the controller axis, and fix it with cylinder head screw (14). 5. Assemble the fitting angle (1) with two hexagonal screws (8), lock washer (9) and washers (10) to the rear
of the positioner. The choice of the hole row depends on the width of the actuator's intermediate bracket width. The roller should engage in the sensing hoop (2) as close to the spindle as possible, but must not touch the clamping piece.
6. Hold the positioner with the fixing angle to the actuator in such a way that the pin (4) passes inside the sensing hoop (2).
7. Tighten the sensing hoop. 8. Prepare the assembly parts in accordance with the actuator type:
- Actuator with a rib: hexagonal bolt (7), washer (10) and lock washer (9). - Actuator with a flat surface: four hexagonal bolts (7) with washer (10) and lock washer (9). - Actuator with columns: two U-bolts (6), four hexagonal nuts (17) with washer (10) and lock washer (9).
9. Attach the positioner with the previously prepared assembly parts to the intermediate bracket. Adjust the height of the positioner so that the horizontal position of the lever is achieved as close as possible to the centre of the stroke. The actuator's lever scale provides orientation here. It is essential that the horizontal lever position is passed through within the range of the stroke.

This information provides you with important notes on assembling the positioner in wet environments (frequent heavy rain and/or persistent tropical condensation) in which protection class IP66 is no longer sufficient, in particular when there is a risk that the water might freeze. Avoid the unfavourable mounting positions: − To prevent fluids seeping through during normal operation of the device, e.g. through exhaust air openings. − Otherwise the digital display becomes poorly legible.
CAUTION
Never clean the positioner with a high pressure cleaner. Protection class IP66 is inadequate for this.

Figure 4-7 Favourable and unfavourable installation positions
If local conditions force you to operate the positioner in an unfavourable installation position, you can prevent the entry of water through additional measures. Additional measures
The steps necessary to prevent the entry of water depends on the installation position chosen. In certain cases you may need: - Threaded joint with sealing rings (e. g. FESTO: CK -¼ -PK-6) - Plastic hose, approx. 20 to 30 cm (e. g. FESTO: PUN- 8x1,25 SW) - Cable ties (number and length depend on the local conditions)
Procedure 1. Arrange the pipes in such a way that rainwater or condensation that runs along the length of the pipes can
drop off before reaching the positioner's connection strip. 2. Check that the seals for the electrical connections are correctly seated. 3. Check that the seal of the housing cover is not damaged or soiled. Clean or replace it if necessary. 4. If possible, mount the positioner in such a way that the sintered bronze silencer on the underneath of the
housing is pointing downwards (vertical installation position). If this is not possible, the silencer should be replaced by a plastic hose using a suitable threaded joint.
Assembling the Threaded Joint with Plastic Hose 1. Unscrew the sintered bronze silencer from the exhaust air opening on the underside of the housing. 2. Screw the threaded joint mentioned above into the outlet opening. 3. Fit the plastic hose mentioned above to the threaded joint and check that it is tightly seated. 4. Use a cable tie to fasten the plastic hose to the fittings in such a way that the opening is pointing down-
wards. 5. Check that the hose is not kinked, and that the exhaust air can flow out easily. 4.5 Positioners exposed to strong acceleration forces or vibrations High acceleration forces occur on fittings that are heavily mechanically stressed, such as breakaway flaps, heavily shaking or vibrating valves or "steam hammer". These forces can be well outside the range specified in the technical data. In extreme cases this can result in displacement of the slip clutch or the leverage ratio switch. In these cases the positioner is fitted as standard with a locking device for the slip clutch with which displace-ment as a result of the above-mentioned influences is inhibited. The adjustment function is accessible beneath the black adjusting wheel of the slip clutch and recognisable on the yellow wheel with slots. The null point setting and slip clutch adjustment functions are marked with symbols on an auxiliary plate The clamping piece for the transmission leverage ratio switch is located under the terminals and is also fitted with a yellow adjusting wheel with slots.

4.5.1 Slip clutch
Procedure After the positioner has been fitted and fully set into operation, the slip clutch can be locked as follows: 1. Place a commercial screwdriver of about 4 mm wide in a slot in the yellow wheel. 2. Turn the yellow wheel anti-clockwise with the screwdriver until it latches detectably. The slip clutch is
thereby locked. 3. A locked slip clutch is to be recognised by an approximately 1 mm wide gap between the yellow and black
wheel. 4. If a null point setting is necessary, e.g. after a drive change, the locking is released by a clockwise rotation
up to the stop of the yellow wheel. After the null point setting the slip clutch can be fixed again as described above.
4.5.2 Leverage ratio switch
Starting from the neutral position (as-delivered condition) the leverage ratio switch can be adjusted as follows: 1. Plug a conventional 4 mm wide screwdriver into a slot in the yellow wheel. 2. Then turn the adjustment wheel in accordance to the chosen gearing position (33° or 90°) clockwise or anti-
clockwise until it snaps in audibly. 3. An adjusted fixed leverage ratio switch is recognizable from the asymmetric position of the adjustment
wheel. 4. If you have to switch over the gearing, the adjustment has to be loosen by turning the adjustment wheel into
neutral position first.

Figure 4-9 Arrester device External Travel Acquisition
External travel acquisition is a possibility for those cases in which the measures described above are not suffi-cient, such as when vibration is heavy and persistent, at particularly high or low ambient temperatures, or in the presence of nuclear radiation. In this case the special positioner (see Type Code) is used at a distance from the fitting.

WARNING
For reasons of safety, the auxiliary pneumatic energy should only be connected after assembly when, in the presence of an electrical signal, the positioner is switched to the P-manual operating level (delivery status, see leaflet “Concise operating notes”).
NOTICE
Ensure correct air-quality! Oil-free, instrument quality air with no water or dust, solid material content max. 1 mg/m3 (standard atmospheric conditions), max. particle size 1 µm, oil content max. 0.1 mg/m3 (standard atmospheric conditions), pressurised dew point 20 K below the lowest ambient temperature. When working on the compressed air system ensure that any contamination present such as water, oil, swarf, soldering material residues etc. are expelled by blowing out
Reference no.: 827A-BA-03-12_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 33 von 52
Note So that spring-loaded pneumatic actuators can reliably exploit the maximum possible travel, it is necessary that the supply pressure exceeds the maximum required final pressure of the actuator by a sufficient margin. After installing the pneumatic connections, check the tightness of the entire control valve. Besides continuous air consumption, the positioner may try to compensate the position deviation due to leakage. This will lead to premature wear in the entire control unit. 7 Commissioning
(see leaflet "Concise operating notes") Basic safety instructions
WARNING
Improper commissioning in hazardous areas Device failure or danger of explosion in hazardous areas − Do not commission the device until it has been mounted completely and connected. − Before commissioning take the effect on other devices in the system into account.
WARNING
Loss of explosion protection Danger of explosion in hazardous areas if the device is open or not properly closed. .
WARNING
Opening device in energized state Danger of explosion in areas subject to explosion hazard. − Only open the device in a de-energized state. − Check prior to commissioning that the cover, cover locks, and cable inlets are assembled in accordance
with the directives. Exception: Devices having the type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i" may also be opened in energized state in hazardous areas.
WARNING
Water in compressed air line Device damage and possibly loss of type of protection. The factory setting for the purging air selector is "IN". In the "IN" position, water from the compressed air line may enter the device from the pneumatics during initial commissioning. − Before commissioning, make sure that no water is present in the compressed air line. If you cannot be sure that there is no water in the compressed air line: − Set the purging air selector to "OUT". In this way, you prevent water from the compressed air line from
penetrating the device. − Only set the purging air selector to "IN" again when all water has been discharged from the compressed
air line.
NOTICE
Loss of degree of protection Damage to device if the enclosure is open or not properly closed. The degree of protection specified on the nameplate is no longer guaranteed. − Make sure that the device is securely closed.

Safety notes for operation with natural gas
For operation with natural gases actuator medium an electric connection acc to explosion protection „ia“ cate-gory 2G is needed. More information and safety notes see for manual 827A-GHB-natural gas General Information After installing the positioner on a pneumatic actuator, you must supply electric and pneumatic auxiliary power to it. The positioner is in the "P manual mode" before initialization. At the same time, "NOINI" blinks in the lower line of the digital display. Adjust the positioner as per the respective actuator with the help of the initialization process and by setting the parameters. If required, use the "PRST" parameter to cancel the adjustment of the positioner on the actuator. The positioner is again in the "P manual mode" after this process. Types of initialization
- Automatic initialization The initialization takes place automatically. In this case, the positioner determines, one after another, the
effective working direction, the travel distance or rotation angle and the actuator's adjustment times and adjusts the control parameters to match the dynamic behaviour of the actuator.
- Manual initialization The travel distance or rotation angle of the actuator can be set manually. The other parameters are
automatically determined, just as in the case of automatic initialization. This function is useful on actua-tors with soft end stops
- Copying Initialization Data (Positioner Exchange) In devices with HART functionality, the initialization data of one positioner can be read and copied into
another positioner. This allows a faulty device to be exchanged, without having to interrupt a running process in order to carry out initialization.
You have to define a few parameters for the positioner before initialization. Owing to the preset values, you cannot adjust further parameters for initialization. You can use a suitably configured and activated binary input to protect the configured settings against acciden-tal adjustment.
WARNING
Commissioning and operation with pending error If an error message appears, correct operation in the process is no longer guaranteed. − Check the gravity of the error − Correct the error − If the device is faulty:
- Take the device out of operation. - Prevent renewed commissioning.
NOTICE
− During the initialization process, the operating pressure must be at least one bar more than that required to close or open the valve. However, the operating pressure should not be greater than the maximum permissible operating pressure for the actuator.
− The leverage ratio switch can be set only when the positioner is open. Therefore, check this setting before closing the enclosure.

7.1 Preparations for Linear Actuators
1. Assemble the positioner with the appropriate mounting kit The position of the leverage ratio switch in the positioner is particularly important here. Stroke lever Position leverage ratio switch 5 to 20 mm short 33° (i.e. down) 25 to 35 mm short 90° (i.e. up) 40 to 130 mm long 90° (i.e. up n)
2. Connect a suitable source of current or voltage 3. Connect the actuator and the positioner to the pneumatic lines, and activate the positioner's auxiliary
pneumatic power. 4. The positioner is now in the “P–manual" operating mode. The top line of the display now shows the current
potentiometer voltage (P) in percent, e.g.: “P37.5“, while "NOINI" flashes on the bottom line:
5. Check that the mechanics can move freely over the entire active range by moving the actuator with the
and buttons as far as the end positions. The value P5.0 may not be fallen below and P95.0 may not be exceeded. The difference of the two values must be greater than 25.0 You can move the actuator rapidly by pressing the button for the opposite direction as well while continuing to hold down the first direction button.
6. Now move the actuator so that the lever is horizontal. The display should show a value between P48.0 and P52.0. If this is not the case, make appropriate adjustments to the slip clutch. The closer you can get to the "P50.0" value, the more accurately the positioner can determine the travel.
7.1.1 Automatic Initialization of Linear Actuators When you can move the actuator correctly, leave it in a central position and start the automatic initialization: 1. Hold the button pressed for longer than 5 s. This will bring you to the configuration mode Display:
2. Switch to the second parameter by pressing the button briefly. Display: or
It is essential that this value matches the setting of the leverage ratio switch (33° or 90°))
3. Use the button to move on to the following display:
You only have to set this parameter if you want to have the total stroke determined displayed in mm at the end of the initialization phase. To do this, you select the value in the display at which you have set the driver pin on the scale at the lever.
Reference no.: 827A-BA-03-12_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 36 von 52
4. Use the button to move on to the following display:
5. Start the initialization by pressing the button for longer than 5 s.
Display:
"RUN1" to "RUN5" appear in sequence in the lower display during the initialization process. Depending on the actuator, the initialization process can take up to 15 min and it is completed when the fol-lowing display appears:
The first line also contains the stroke that has been determined, in mm, if the lever length has been given with the 3.YWAY parameter. The following display appears after briefly pressing the button:
To leave the Configuration mode, press the button for longer than 5 s. The software status will be dis-played after about 5 s. When the button is released, the device will be in manual operation mode. You can interrupt an initialization that is in progress at any time by pressing the button. Your previous set-tings will be retained. The parameters will only be returned to the factory settings if you have carried out a "Preset". After successful initialization slipping clutch and leverage ratio switch can be adjusted if necessary (see chap-ter 4.1.2). 7.1.2 Manual Initialization of Linear Actuators With this function the positioner can be initialized without having to move the actuator hard against the end stops. The start and end positions of the travel are set manually. When you can move the actuator correctly, leave it in a central position and start the manual initialization. The other initialization steps (optimisation and control parameters) are carried out in the same way as under auto-matic initialization. 1. Hold the button pressed for longer than 5 s. This will bring you to the configuration mode

(The potentiometer settings shown here and below are only illustrative examples.) Now use the and buttons to move the actuator to the position that you wish to define as the first of the two end positions. Then press the button. This will register the current position as end position 1, and will move on to the next step. If the message "RANGE" appears on the lower line, the selected end position is outside the permitted measurement range. There are a number of ways to correct this error: - adjust the slip clutch until "OK" appears, then press the button again, or - use the and buttons to move to a different end position, or - interrupt the initialization by pressing the button. You must then change to P-manual operation and
correct the travel and the displacement accession in accordance with chapter 7.1
7. When Step 6 has been successfully completed, the following display appears:
Now use the and buttons to move the actuator to the position that you wish to define as the second
end position. Then press the button. This will cause the current position to be registered as end position 2. If the message "RANGE" appears on the lower line, the selected end position is outside the permitted measurement range. There are a number of ways to correct this error: - adjust the slip clutch until "OK" appears, then press the operating mode switch again, or - use the and buttons to move to a different end position, or - interrupt the initialization by pressing the button. You must then change to P-manual operation and
correct the travel and the displacement accession in accordance with chapter 7.1 If the message "Set Middl" appears, the lever arm must be moved to a horizontal position with the aid of the
and buttons, and the button then pressed. This will set the reference point for the sine correction on linear actuators.
8. The rest of the initialization will now proceed automatically. "RUN1" to "RUN5" will appear in sequence on the lower line of the display. The following display appears when the initialization has been completed suc-cessfully:
The first line also contains the stroke that has been determined, in mm, if the lever length has been given with the 3.YWAY parameter. After briefly pressing the button the lower line will again show 5.INITM. You are then once more in the Configuration operating mode To leave the Configuration mode, press the button for longer than 5 s. The software status will be dis-played after about 5 s. When the button is released, the device will be in manual operation mode. After successful initialization slipping clutch and leverage ratio switch can be adjusted if necessary (see chapter 4.1.2).

7.2 Preparations for Quarter-turn Actuators In the positioner, place the leverage ratio switch in the 90° position (the usual adjustment angle for quarter-turn actuators). 1. Assemble the positioner with the appropriate mounting kit. 2. Connect a suitable source of current or voltage. 3. Connect the actuator and the positioner to the pneumatic lines, and activate the positioner's auxiliary
pneumatic power 4. The positioner is now in the “P-manual“ .The top line of the display now shows the current potentiometer
voltage (P) in percent, e. g.: “P37.5 “while “NOINI“ flashes on the bottom line
5. Check that the mechanics can move freely over the entire active range by moving the actuator with the
and buttons as far as the end positions. The value P5.0 may not be fallen below and P95.0 may not be exceeded. The difference of the two values must be greater than 25.0.
You can move the actuator rapidly by pressing the button for the opposite direction as well while continuing to hold down the first direction button. 7.2.1 Automatic Initialization of Quarter-turn Actuators When you can move the actuator correctly through its range, leave it in a central position and start the auto-matic initialization: 1. Hold the button pressed for longer than 5 s. This will bring you to the configuration mode.

To leave the Configuration mode, press the button for longer than 5 s. The software status will be dis-played after about 5 s. When the button is released, the device will be in manual operation mode. You can interrupt an initialization that is in progress at any time by pressing the button. Your previous set-tings will be retained. The parameters will only be returned to the factory settings if you have carried out a "Preset". After successful initialization slipping clutch and leverage ratio switch can be adjusted if necessary (see chap-ter 4.1.2). 7.2.2 Manual Initialization of Quarter-turn Actuators With this function the positioner can be initialized without having to move the actuator hard against the end stops. The start and end positions of the travel are set manually When you can move the actuator correctly, leave it in a central position and start the manual initialization.

Display:
3. Switch to the second parameter by pressing the button briefly.
Display:
Ensure that the leverage ratio switch is in the 90° position.
4. Press the button twice to move on to the following display:
The following steps are identical to steps 5) to 8) in the initialization of linear actuators. Following successful initialization, the pivoting range that has been determined is shown on the upper display in degrees After briefly pressing the button the lower line will again show 5.INITM. You are then once more in the Con-figuration operating mode. To leave the Configuration mode, press the button for longer than 5 s. The software status will be displayed after about 5 s. When the button is released, the device will be in manual operation mode. After successful initialization slipping clutch and leverage ratio switch can be adjusted if necessary (see chap-ter 4.1.2). 7.3 Copying Initialization Data (Positioner Exchange) − Electropneumatic positioners can be replaced in a running system without interrupting the process. − By copying and transferring the device and initialization data, it is possible to commission a replacement
positioner without needing to initialize it. − An electropneumatic positioner uses the communication interface to transfer data. The following steps are required to exchange a positioner: 1. The device parameters and initialization data (determined at initialization time) of the device needing re-
placement are read in and saved using SIMATIC PDM or HART Communicator. This step is not required if the device has been parameterised with SIMATIC PDM and the data already stored.
Reference no.: 827A-BA-03-12_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 40 von 52
2. Fix the actuator in its current position (mechanically or pneumatically). 3. Read and note the current position value from the display of the positioner that is being replaced. If the
electronics are faulty, find the current position by measurement at the actuator or valve 4. Dismount the positioner. Fit the lever arm of the positioner to the replacement device. Mount the replace-
ment device to the fittings. Put the leverage ratio switch in the same position as on the faulty device. Download the device data and initialization data from the SIMATIC PDM or the handheld device
5. If the actual value displayed does not accord with the value noted from the faulty positioner, set the correct value with the slip clutch.
6. The positioner is now ready for operation. The accuracy and the dynamic behaviour may not be as good as they would be following a proper initialization. In particular the position of the hard end stops and the associated servicing data may be inaccurate. An initiali-zation must therefore be carried out at the next opportunity.
8 Overview of Parameters 8.1 Parameters 1 to 5 Parameters 1 to 5 are the same for all versions of positioner. These parameters are used to adjust the posi-tioner to the actuator. Normally the parameter setup is sufficient to be able to operate the positioner on an ac-tuator. If you want to get to know the positioner in detail, gradually try out the effects of the remaining parameters by systematic testing. Parameter Function Parameter values

- Failure to wait for reaction time of max. 1 min.
- Mains pressure not connected or too low.
- Up to 1 min waiting time is required - Do not start initialization from end
position - Check mains pressure
Positioner remains in “RUN 2“ mode.
- Leverage ratio switch and Parame-ter 2 (YAGL) and also actual stroke are not in agreement.
- Stroke on lever incorrectly adjusted. - Piezo valve(s) are not switching
(see Table 2)
- Check settings: Leverage ratio switch (10 in fig.1) and parameter 2
- Check stroke on lever - see Table 2
Positioner remains in “RUN 3“ mode.
- Actuator travel time too long - Open restrictor completely and/or set PZ pressure to highest permis-sible value.
- If necessary use booster Positioner remains in “RUN 5“ mode, does not get to “FINISH“ (waiting time > 5 min)
- “Slack” (play) in the positioner – actuator – fitting
- Quarter-turn actuator: Check that grub screw on the coupling wheel is tight

- Remove any other play between actuator and fitting.
Table 2 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures - “CPU test“ flashes in the display
(approx. every 2 s) - Piezo valve(s) are not switching.
- Water in the valve block (caused by wet compressed air)
- Actuator will not move at all or only in one direction in both manual and automatic operating modes.
- Dampness in the valve block
- In its early stages the fault can be removed by subsequent operation with dry air (if necessary in the dryer at 50 to 70°C).
- Otherwise repair
- Screw between cover and valve block not screwed tight or cover jammed.
- Tighten screw, if necessary remove cause of jam.
- Dirt (chips, particles) in valve block - Repair or new unit
- Piezo valve(s) are not switching (also no soft “clicking” audible if
or - button depressed in manual operating mode).

- Slack (play) in the positioner - actua-tor - fitting system
- Quarter-turn actuator: Check that grub screw on the coupling wheel is tight
- Linear actuator: Check that lever on the positioner shaft is tight
- Remove any other play between actuator and fitting.
- In steady-state automatic oper-ating mode (constant setpoint) and in manual operating mode both Piezo valves are constantly switching alternately; actuator oscillates about a mean value.
- Actuator too fast - Increase travel times by means of restrictor screws.
- If fast travel time is necessary, in-crease dead zone (parameter DEBA) until the oscillating movement stops.
- Supply pressure too low - Increase supply pressure - Positioner does not drive fitting up to the stop (with a 100% in-put signal)
- Load voltage of the supply controller or system output is too low
- Interpose load transformer - Select 3/4-wire operation

The positioner requires almost no maintenance. Filters are fitted to the pneumatic connections to protect the positioner against large particles of dirt. Dirt present in the input air can collect on the filter and then adversely affect the operation of the positioner (increased travel time). In such a case, the filters can be cleaned as fol-lows: 1. Switch off the auxiliary pneumatic energy and disconnect the hose lines. 2. Carefully remove the metal filters from the holes and clean them (e.g. with compressed air). 3. Insert the filters 4. Connect the hose lines again and turn on the auxiliary pneumatic power. 11 Technical Data General data for the base device Degree of protection IP66 to EN60529 Climatic class in accordance with IEC 721 Storage 1K5 but -40 °C … + 80 °C 1)
