1 Safety Instructions

This manual contains essential information for the protection of users
and others from possible injury and/or equipment damage.

Read this manual before using the product, to ensure correct handling,
and read the manuals of related apparatus before use.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by label of
"DANGER", "WARNING" or "CAUTION", followed by important safety
information which must be carefully followed.

To ensure safety of personnel and equipment the safety instructions in
this manual and the product catalogue must be observed, along with
other relevant safety practices.

WARNING

• The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of

the person who designs the pneumatic system or decides its
specifications.

Since the products specified here can be used in various operating 
conditions, their compatibility with the specific pneumatic system must
be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet 
specific requirements.

• Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated

machinery and equipment.

Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it.
Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be 
performed by trained and experienced personnel.

• Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove 

components until safety is confirmed.

1) Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only

be performed after confirmation of safe locked-out control positions.

2) When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as

mentioned above. Switch off air and electrical supplies and exhaust
all residual compressed air in the system.

3) Before machinery/equipment is re-started, ensure all safety

measures to prevent sudden movement of cylinders etc.
(Supply air into the system gradually to create back pressure, i.e.
incorporate a soft-start valve).

• Do not use this product outside of the specifications.

Contact SMC if it is to be used in any of the following conditions:

1) Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if

the product is to be used outdoors.

2) Installations in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, 

air navigation, vehicles, medical equipment, food and beverage,
recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, press applications,
or safety equipment.

3) An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on

people, property, or animals, requiring special safety analysis.

CAUTION

Ensure that the air supply system is filtered to 5 microns..

2 Specifications

Protect the unit from impact and dropping during transfer and when
mounted. It may cause failure of the unit.

• Do not use the unit in places with high humidity & temperature. It may

cause malfunctions.

• Do not use this positioner outside of the range of it's specifications as this

can cause failure.

*1 : 1/2 split range is possible with the standard type (by adjusting the span)
*2 : The stroke is adjustable in 0~60° and 0~100°.
*3 : Standard air (JIS B0120): temp.20°C, absolute press. 760mmHg, 

ratio humidity 65%.

2.1 How to Order

3 Installation

WARNING

• Do not install unless the safety instructions have been read and

understood.

• Since zero-point varies depending on the mounting position, the zero point

should be adjusted after installation.

• Avoid hitting the product with metallic objects!
• Avoid using this product in non-explosive environments which can become

explosive due to air leakage!

3.1 Environment

WARNING

• Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to

corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water, water or steam.

• Do not mount the product in a location where it will be subject to strong

vibrations and/or shock.

• Do not mount the product in a location where it is exposed to radiant heat.
• Allow sufficient space for maintenance and adjustment around the product

when mounted.

3.2 Piping

CAUTION

• Before piping make sure to clean away all chips, cutting oil, dust etc.
• When installing piping or fitting into a port, ensure that sealant material

does not enter the port inside. When using seal tape, leave 1.5 to 2 threads
exposed on the end of the pipe/fitting.

3.3 Lubrication

CAUTION

• The positioner has a fixed orifice and nozzle, which contain fine paths in

them. Use filtered, dehydrated air and avoid the use of lubricators as this
may cause malfunction of the positioner. Ensure that the air supply system
is filtered to 5 micron.

Setting

3.4 Handling

CAUTION

• Avoid giving impact to the body and torque motor of the positioner, and

giving excessive force to the armature because this leads to failure. Handle
with care during transport and operation.

• If you leave the positioner at the operation site for a long time without using

it, put the cover on it so that rain water does not enter the positioner. If the
atmosphere is of high temperature or humidity, take measures to avoid
condensation inside. The condensation control measures must be taken
thoroughly for export shipment.

• Avoid setting the positioner near magnetic fields because the

characteristics are effected.

4 Mounting

4.1 Type  IP8000

4.1.1 Example of attaching to actuator

The type IP8000 positioner is compatible with Type IP6000 and IP600 in the
attaching pitch. If you are using IP600 and IP6000 already, the bracket for
these positioner can be used to attach IP8000 to the actuator.

4.2.2 Connection with feedback shaft

4 Mounting (Continued)

4.1.2 Connection with external feedback lever

4.2 Type  IP8100

4.2.1 Example of attaching to actuator

The type IP8000 positioner is compatible with type IP610 and IP6100 in
the attaching pitch. If you are using IP610 or IP6100 already, the bracket
can be used to attach IP8000 to the actuator. If you change from IP6100
to IP8100 and select accessory H (with external scale plate), fork lever
type fitting needs to be adjusted at lower position.

right angle when the input
signal is 50% (distribute
evenly with 50% input signal
set as the reference).

(2) Attach to the position of the

runout angle is within the
range of 10° to 30°.

(3) To move the valve stem

downward at the time of input
current increase (normal
actuation), attach to the
position at which the
tightening spring comes to the
upper side of the connecting
metal, as shown in Fig 5.
To move the valve stem
upward (reverse actuation),
turn-over the feedback lever
and attach to the position at
which the tightening spring
comes to the lower side of
connecting metal.
