5.5.1 Direct Drive Field Wiring
The only wiring connections necessary for DIRECT DRIVE mode are connection of the remote
signal leads from the source to the unit’s I/O Box. For either a 4-20mA/0-5V or a 0-20mA/0-5V
setting, the connections are made at the ANALOG IN terminals in the I/O Box. For a Network
setting, the connections are made at the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box. The signal
must be floating, (ungrounded) at the I/O Box and the wire used must be a two wire shielded
pair from 18 to 22 AWG. Polarity must be observed. The source end of the shield must be
connected at the source. When driving multiple units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the
above.
5.5.2 Direct Drive Startup
Since this mode of operation is factory preset and the valve position is being externally
controlled, no startup instructions are necessary
.
In this mode, the REMOTE LED will light when
the signal is present.
To operate the unit in MANUAL mode, press the
AUTO/MAN
switch. The REMOTE LED will go
off and the MANUAL LED will light.
To change back to the Direct Drive mode, simply press the
AUTO/MAN
switch. The REMOTE
LED will again light and the MANUAL LED will go off.
