Preparing for commissioning
Requirement
Check whether the following requirements have been fulfilled before putting the positioner
into operation:
● You have noted the information in section "Basic safety instructions (Page 129)".
● The positioner is correctly attached to the actuator, as described in section
"Installing/mounting (Page 27)". All fixing elements on the positioner are tightly fastened.
● Equipotential bonding is connected.
● The electrical connection cables are properly connected to the positioner, as described in
section "Electric connection (Page 43)".
● The positioner is correctly connected pneumatically, as described in section "Pneumatic
● The supply pressure matches the positioner's requirements, section "Technical data
(Page 155)".
● Setting in parameter "2.1.7 Valve direction of actions" corresponds to the pneumatic
actuator you are using. You have to change the parameter when you use the
Masoneilan® Camflex II actuator, for example.
Note
Level of the supply pressure
In order for spring-loaded pneumatic actuators to exploit the permitted maximum actuator
travel, the following applies:
The supply pressure must be sufficiently greater than the maximum required nominal
pressure of the actuator.
Make sure that the operating pressure of the positioner does not exceed the maximum
permitted operating pressure of the actuator.
