Adjustment

Procedure

Zero

1. Turn on supply air. Apply a 4 mA
input signal to the positioner. The
actuator should be in the closed posi-
tion.

Zero

1. Turn on supply air. Pulse the posi-
tioner in order to arrive at the mini-
mum (closed) position.

2. Loosen the zero adjustment set-
screw (Fig.

B-9

) using a

-inch

Allen wrench.

2. Loosen the zero adjustment set-
screw (Fig.

B-9

) using a

-inch

Allen wrench.

3. Turn the zero adjustment nut
(clockwise to increase) until the 0
radial line on the cam intersects with
the center of the cam roller (Fig.

B-4

3. Turn the zero adjustment nut
(clockwise to increase) until the radial
line on the cam intersects with the
center of the cam roller (Fig.

B-4

4. Tighten the zero adjustment set-
screw.

Span

1. Apply 20 mA to the positioner. The
actuator should be in its full open
position.

Span

1. Pulse the Raise (TB1-4) terminal
until the actuator is in the full open
position.

2. Loosen the span adjustment screw
(Fig.

B-9

) using a

-inch Allen

wrench.

2. Loosen the span adjustment screw
(Fig.

B-9

) using a

-inch Allen

wrench.

3. Slide the span adjustment assem-
bly in the (Fig.

B-9

) appropriate direc-

tion (toward cam to increase) in order
to align the 100% radial line with the
center of the cam roller.

3. Slide the span adjustment assem-
bly in the (Fig.

) appropriate direc-

tion (toward cam to increase) in order
to align the 100% radial line with the
center of the cam roller.

4. Tighten the span adjustment

AV4 Calibration

Adjustment

Procedure

Motor Speed 1. Set the coarse adjustment potentiometer, located on the

EMI/electronics housing, to position 1.
2. Set the fine adjustment to the fastest speed (fully clock-
wise) (Fig.

B-10

3. Apply pulse inputs until the actuator reaches 0%.
4. Using a stopwatch measure the time it takes the actuator
to reach 100% by applying a constant increase signal.
5. Having obtained an actuator speed value in Step 4, use
Table

B-4

to determine the coarse speed adjustment setting

which encompasses the actuator speed.
6. AV4 calibration is complete.
