Conversion to Split Range 

Converting a standard positioner to a 
split range positioner (pneumatic input 
other than 3-15 psi or 6-30 psi), requires 
ordering the proper conversion kit from 
the factory.  This kit will include a bias 
spring and bias spring cartridge.  If re-
quired, it will also contain a new range 
spring and mounting spacers. 

 

1.

For close on increasing positioner: 

Remove the cap on the top of the po-
sitioner along with the spring inside 
it. 

For open on increasing positioner:

 

Remove the mounting bracket hold-
ing the cap on the bottom of the posi-
tioner.  Then remove this cap along 
with the spring inside it. 
 

2.

Replace the cap and spring with the 
larger bias spring cartridge and bias 
spring found in the kit.  Make sure 
the bias adjustment screw in the 
bias spring cartridge is snug against 
the bias spring and the spring is cen-
tered before tightening the spring 
cartridge.  

 

3.

For open on increasing positioner:

 

Remove the washer and jam nut from 
the adjusting screw in the bias spring

3. (Cont.) Reattach the mounting 

bracket upside down from its original 
position.  
 

4. Slide the thread spacer (brass 

bushing) over the adjusting screw 
and tighten the washer and jam nut 
against the thread spacer.  
 

5.

If a range spring was sent with the 
kit, remove the existing range spring 
and replace it with the new one. 
 

6.

Adjust the unit per the Adjustment 
Procedures.
