Standard Installation
1 - Perform a test by applying compressed air directly to the valve through a pressure
regulating valve. To check the maximum and minimum stroke, start by applying 0%
(valve closed). Slowly increase the pressure until the valve reaches 100% of its stroke.
For the positioner assembly, it is recommended to release the air through the
regulator so that the valve reaches 50% of its full stroke.
Caution when handling compressed air hoses, make sure the line is disconnected
before connecting it to the positioner.
