TROUBLESHOOTING CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENTS
The servo assemblies of the Type AV3/4 positioners come from
the factory completely calibrated.
Use the following procedures
only when operating difficulties occur
. The corrective action
column of Table
will prompt you to use the troubleshooting cal-
ibration.
Servo Assembly Adjustments (Type AV3 Positioner)
The purpose of this procedure is to adjust the servo so that the
four to 20-milliamp input signal will produce a 20.7 to 103-kilopas-
cals (three to 15 pounds per square inch gage) signal. Use the fol-
lowing procedure to adjust the servo assembly.
Instruments Required:
Digital voltmeter
0 to 30 psig instrument gage
Small screwdriver
Current source
1. If the positioner is mounted on an actuator and it is not desir-
able to have the actuator move during calibration, remove the air
lines from 01 and 02 ports. Plug the ports. If bench calibrating,
plug 01 and 02 ports to prevent excess air flow during calibration
