The Series 185 and 285 Smart Positioners

control valve movements accurately

using an input signal of 4 to 20 mA from the controller. In addition, a highly efficient
microprocessing operator built into the product performs various functions such as
auto calibration, PID control, alarm and Hart

®

protocol.

Features

• LCD allows the user to directly check the positioner condition in the field.
• Endures severe vibration.
• Operates normally regardless of changes in supply pressure during operation.
• Simple to use auto calibration.
• Easily equipped on small actuators because of its small size.
• Low air consumption reduces operating cost.
• Can be used in low voltage (8.5 V), leaving no limitation in controller.
• HART

®

communication available for configurating parameters or monitoring the 

valve position.

• Analog feedback signal (4 to 20 mA).
• The adjustment of valve characteristics (linear, quick open, equal percentage)

available.

• Tight shut-close and shut-open can be set in the programming menu.
• PID parameters can easily be adjusted in the field without additional

communicator.

• Split ranges such as 4 to 12 mA, with 12 to 20 mA available. 
• The positioner can manually actuate the valve or damper.
• An air filter regulator can be mounted directly to the positioner.
