Step by Step Instructions

The document provides 10 step-by-step instructions for calibrating a positioner for fail-open operation on a small actuator. The instructions include setting parameters for pin position, travel, operating direction, and initiating an auto calibration process that takes a few minutes to adapt the positioner to the specific valve. Once calibration is complete, the positioner should be tested by cycling through set-points to ensure accurate valve response.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. To prepare the positioner for fail-open operation, slide the "AIR TO" switch to the
"CLOSE" position.

2. For small actuators such as the 120cm​2​, it's advisable to restrict the output air volume
to approximately 50%.

3. Begin the calibration process by entering configuration mode. Using the rotary push
button, turn it until parameter 3 is shown, and push the button. Turn again until the
display shows "Yes", and push to accept the change.

4. Parameter 4 indicates the pin position and is set to 35.

5. Parameter 5 sets our travel, and is kept at 15mm.

6. Parameter 6 is changed to nominal to use our 15mm stroke rather than the valve
maximum.

7. The final parameter to set is 7, this is our operating direction and is set to
increasing-decreasing for standard fail-open operation.

8. Now, go back to parameter zero and press the recessed initialization button to begin
the auto calibration process.

9. This process can take a few minutes while the positioner adapts itself to this specific
valve and it's operating characteristics. It is important not to disturb or interrupt this
process until it's finished.

10. Once the calibration is completed, the display will briefly show "Tune", and then
revert to the position specified by the control signal.
11. To confirm correct operation, cycle through various set-points and ensure the valve
responds accurately.

12. The positioner is now calibrated and ready for operation.
