SETTING UP VALVES
When setting up a valve it is important to correctly set the end stops. Use the PIECAL Model 334 wo
supply the 4 to 20 mA control signal to stroke the valve. Select “SOURCE” and the PIECAL Model
334 will use the internal power source fpr outputting current or switch to 2-WIRE SIMULATOR to
stroke a valve using any pre-existing installed loop power supply as the power source.
Example:
1) Disconnect the 4-20 mA control wires from the Current-to Pressure (I/P) converter or the actuator.
2) Connect the PIECAL Model 334 following the connection diagrams on the prevous pages for
Simulate 2-Wire Transmitters
3) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch
e
to “4.00 mA”/”0.0%”
and adjust the fully closed stop on the
actuator.
4) Turn the PIECAL Model 334’s knob
r
slowly counterclockwise and verify that the actuator and
valve don”t move. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until no movement is detected.
5) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch
e
to DIAL and quickly back to “4.00 mA”/”0.0%”
then turn the
PIECAL Model 334’s knob
r
clockwise. The actuator and valve should begin to move.
6) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch
e
to “20.00 mA”/”100.0%”
and adjust the fully open stop on the
actuator.
7) Turn the PIECAL Model 334’s knob
r
slowly clockwise and verify that the actuator and valve
don”t move. Repeat steps 6 & 7 until no movement is detected.
8) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch
e
to DIAL and quickly back to “20.00 mA”/”100.0%”
then turn
