11 OPTION 
 
11.1 Limit switch 

Rebuild to this option resp. exchange 
Remove three screws 

including tooth lock washer 

from plastic cover. 
Attach limit indicator 

so that the flattened shaft end 

19 

contacts the groove of the limit indicator shaft in 

the positioner. 
Attach limit indicator by means of three screws 

and 

washers. The feedback shaft at back of positioner 
should easily be turnable, thereby also moving the 
vanes of the limit indicator. If this is not the case, 
loosen screws 

and flush- align the shafts of 

positioner and limit switch (turn coupling shaft several 
times). 
Replace short travel indicator 

12 

by long travel 

indicator.  
Screw high cover 

20 

(or standard cover with insert 

frame) on housing.

 

 

Switch functions 

Feedback lever, feedback shaft and the control vanes 
are all connected to each other, without an 
intermediate transmission. The control vanes are 
therefore moving simultaneously with the same angle 
rate as the feedback lever. The length of the control 
vane corresponds with the swing angle of 120°. 
 
Both control vanes are located on different planes. 
Each control vane can be seen independently from 
the other, because each has its own sensor. 
 
By adjusting the screws (after loosening the center 
screw 

10 

), the control vanes can be adjusted 

relatively to the angle rate, so that e.g. one vane dives 
into and another dives out of the sensor (see 
illustration).

 

 

 

Setting limit switch trigger points 

Loosen center screw 

10 

(1-2 turns; do not remove!), 

otherwise the control vanes will be damaged during 
the following steps. 
 
Set trigger point switch GW1: 
Turn screw at number 1 until desired switch behavior 
is reached. 
 
Set trigger point switch GW2: 
Turn screw at number 2 until desired switch behavior 
is reached. 
 
To fix switch points retighten center screw 

10

 

Do not touch control vanes during operation, danger 
of injuries!
