Maintenance

No routine maintenance is required. However, 

care should be taken during any installation or 

maintenance due to the power of the actuator. Each 

component is designed for dependable, long-term 

reliability, and performance. Careful installation will 

also ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Adjustments and Calibration

 DANGER

The MCP-1060 contains a large powerful spring. 
Exercise extreme caution if disassembly is required. 
The actuator shaft MUST be restrained to prevent 
the spring from expanding.

To change the positioner start-point:
1.  Apply the desired signal pressure.
2.  Rotate the start-point adjuster until the actuator 

starts to stroke.

Connections

NOTE

:  Use 1/4" (6 mm) O.D. FR polyethylene 

tubing and only clean, dry control air.

NOTE

:  MCP-1160 models ordered with CMC-1001 

positioners are factory-piped between the 

positioner and the actuator.

1.  Connect the 

input control signal

 to the actuator 

port (if no positioner is used) or to the positioner 

(CMC-1001 input) Port 

2

 (see the diagram).

2.  Connect the 

main air

 (20 psi) to the positioner 

(CMC-1001 center) port.

3.  If a positioner is not factory-piped to the actuator, 

connect the actuator input port to positioner 

(CMC-1001 output) Port 

1

.

NOTE

:  If the application requires operation near 

the maximum temperature and maximum 

pressure, add a tubing restraint to the 

actuator connection.

The MCP-1160 contains an 8-13 psi spring. A CMC-

1001 positioner allows the unit to operate over any 5 

psi span with the start-point adjustable from 3-10 psi. 

Replace the 5 psi spring with a 7 or 10 psi spring to 

widen the span.
