Model HPP-4 Single-Acting Positioner Annual Maintenance Checklist 

 

 

      

1. __________ 

Soap test all diaphragm mating surfaces to check for leaks. 

 
2. __________ 

Replace rubber goods utilizing Becker Model HPP-4 Single-Acting Posi-

 

                          tioner Repair Kit (Part # 30-9501) if necessary. 

 

    Refer to Pages 12-17, HPP-SB Assembly Procedures. 

 

3. __________ 

Confirm Power Gas Supply Pressure is correct. 

 

    Refer to original Becker invoice paperwork for proper power gas setting. 

 

4. __________ 

Observe operation of gages and replace if defective. 

 
5. __________ 

Check integrity  of HPP-4 positioner seats.  Varying input signal 1 psig 

 

                          should send one cylinder output gauge to full power gas. 

 

                          Refer to Procedure 7 note, pages 9, Adjustment Procedure. 
 
6. __________ 

Check response of HPP-4 positioner.  Varying input signal 1/4 psig 

 

                        should produce cylinder output gauge differential equal to 40% of 
 

                        power gas. 

 

  Refer to Procedure 6-8, pages 8-9, Adjustment Procedure. 

 

7. __________ 

Check range and bias of HPP-4 positioner and adjust if necessary. 

 

    Refer to Pages 9-11 of adjustment procedure. 

 

8. __________ 

Inspect and Verify Proper Operation of all HPP-4 Positioner Accesso

 

    ries. 

 

    Refer to technical manual included with each specific instrumentation ac-

ces- 

   sory for further instruction. 

 

Note: It is not necessary to replace any rubber goods in Becker  

instrumentation or instrumentation accessories on a regular basis.  However, common 
practice suggests that replacement of rubber goods on a 5-year cycle basis provides 
adequate preventative maintenance.
