LMT200 valve positioner

In the valve positioning application, the transmitter is bolted to 
the yoke of the actuator with two mounting brackets that are 
supplied with the transmitter  A third bracket is secured to the 
stem connector  This bracket holds the magnet that provides 
the signal to the transmitter  The clearance between the 
magnet and the sensing tube of the LMT200 is approximately 
1/4” (6 35mm)  This dimension is not critical and can vary slightly 
along the length of the transmitter  The magnet should not 
contact the sensing tube at any point in its travel  The brackets 
supplied with the transmitter do not include mounting holes  
These will be drilled in the field to accommodate the various 
sizes of actuators that will be encountered  The transmitter is 
calibrated in place by using either the integral HMI display or 
handheld devices  The vertical alignment of the transmitter is 
not critical and the zero and span can be set anywhere along 
the active portion of the transmitter 

Figure 13  LMT200 Valve Positioner

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 

(2014/68/EU)

This product conforms to the EU directives listed in the device-
specific EU declaration of conformity  It is designed in 
accordance with safe engineering practices to meet state of 
the art safety requirements, has been tested and left the 
factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate 

Transmitter housing rotation

To improve field access to the wiring or visibility to the optional 
HMI display, the transmitter housing can be rotated up to 360° 
and fixed in any position  A stop prevents the housing from 
being rotated too far  To rotate the housing, loosen the housing 
stop retaining-screw by approximately 1 rotation (do not pull 
out), rotate the housing to the required position and secure by 
re-tightening the retaining-screw (see Figure 14) 

NOTICE

Do not attempt to rotate the elbow to sensor tube 
connection  Rotation can cause damage to the sensor  If 
rotation is required on the LMT100, loosen the compression 
fitting or rotate the process connection  If rotation is 
required for the LMT200, loosen the mounting clamps

Installing / removing the external push 

buttons

•  Loosen the screws that hold the nameplate in place, and slide 

the plate to gain access to the local adjustments 

•  Loosen the push button assembly screws (1) that secure the 

plastic element  The element is spring-loaded 

•  Remove the gaskets (3) that are positioned below the push-

button plastic cover (2) 

The three push buttons (4) and the relevant springs (5) can now 
be removed from their seat (see Figure 15)
