Figures
and
show that the large signal maximum air flow
for both the standard and performance series positioners is about
the same. The performance series positioners achieve maximum
flow capacity at a much smaller error signal.
NOTE:
ABB does not recommend using a performance
series positioner on a small actuator, as it could cause
instability.
Explosionproof I/P Option
The Type AV27 positioner employs an explosionproof I/P con-
verter that is mounted to an adapter block manifold. The adapter
block manifold is bolted to the outside of the main positioner hous-
ing. The unit is a Type AV12 positioner with the electric to pneu-
matic (four to 20-milliamp to 20.7 to 103.4-kilopascal (3.0 to
15.0-pounds per square inch gage)) conversion occurring within
the externally mounted I/P converter.
The four to 20-milliamp input signal wires shall be connected
through an explosionproof conduit entrance on the I/P converter. If
no electrical connections are made within the main housing, the
entire positioner can be considered suitable for application in the
hazardous locations shown on the I/P label.
for the external and mounting dimensions of
the Type AV27 positioner.
NEMA 4X Option
The Type AV˘˘˘˘˘˘N positioner comes with a NEMA 4X housing.
To maintain the NEMA 4X classification, the positioner shall be
installed per drawing C258567 and suitable piping shall be
attached to the vent opening and vented in a manner to preclude
the entrance of water under pressure, as from a hose. Addition-
ally, the conduit connections shall be suitable for a NEMA 4X rat-
ing.
APPLICATION
The Type AV1 and Type AV2 Characterizable Pneumatic Position-
ers control the position of a pneumatic actuator.
