Rotary Position Indicator/Switch
is produced
with up to four individual mechanical or proximity switches. Instructions below include
installation, as well as adjustment procedures for direct drive and lever drive models.
INSTALLATION
1. Mounting kits, when provided include couplers, lever arms and screws for
mounting the position indicator to a valve or actuator. A position indicator is
mounted using direct drive hardware for quarter turn applications (rotational) and
lever drive hardware for converting linear motion to rotary. Tubular spacers are also
provided for some installations.
2. For direct drive models, attach appropriate drive yoke or solid block onto the two
pins, using a #6-32 X 1/4˝ screw provided. Do not attempt to fabricate your own
yokes since this a special spring-tempered material. For direct drives, with the
actuator shaft rotated to its counterclockwise position, spread the driving yoke and
slip it down onto the square (or rectangular) shaft of the actuator. Attach bracket
with two hex cap screws. Before tightening screws, operate control slowly with
a wrench or power, and observe that drive shaft and drive yoke are concentric and
perpendicular throughout the complete stroke. Adjust position as required and
tighten all mounting screws. Check concentricity and perpendicularity.
3. For lever drive models, attach the appropriate driving lever onto the shaft. Do
not tighten. Attach switch and bracket to actuator, making sure that the lever is
free to rotate over the entire range of the actuator stroke. Attach the driving pin
or bolt through the lever arm if slotted, or on the driving side of the lever. (It may
be necessary to loosen or remove the bracket mounting to accomplish this
connection on some actuators.) Operate the actuator very slowly and observe
movement of all pins and levers to be sure there are no interferences. Slide lever
up or down on switch shaft to the most desirable position. When all motions are
made and clearances are adequate, tighten clamp screw on lever that was left
loose above. Now tighten all the mounting screws. Re-check the travel of all levers
and pins for proper clearance throughout the complete stroke of the actuator.
4. Push cover down, then turn it counterclockwise and lift straight up to remove.
Remove inner cover window. Remove the indicator drum.
5. Switches are set at the factory in the counterclockwise position listed below:
