3610J and 3620J Positioners

a. Move the actuator to some position other than mid‐travel. This new position must be in the direction which
decreases the difference between OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B (the direction which reduces compression of the
actuator springs). The actuator or valve must not be contacting a stop, but must be somewhere between the up
and down stops. With the lower differential between the OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B pressures, adjusting the
crossover with neither the OUTPUT A pressure or OUTPUT B pressure equal to supply pressure should be
possible. If not, the supply pressure must be increased.
b. Increase supply pressure noting the limitations in the Supply Connection section and repeat the cross‐over
adjustment. The actuator or valve must not contact the stop, but must be somewhere between the up and down
stops. Increase supply pressure sufficiently, so that a crossover setting can be achieved with neither cylinder
output pressure equal to supply pressure.
6. Continue calibration by performing the zero and span adjustments.
Zero and Span Adjustments
1. Unscrew the four captive cover screws, and remove the cover (key 41, figure 28).
2. Use tables 8 through 11 and figure 15 to select the desired range spring and coarse span adjustment. (The tables
and figure 15 are only valid for the standard valve travel/range spring combinations shown.) Insert one end of the
range spring (key 150, figure 25) into the hole on the range spring hanger (key 130) as shown in figure 15. Insert the
other end of the range spring into the hole selected on the summing beam assembly (key 123, figure 15).
