1) Please check the actuator’s stem height and adjust the brackets by referring to the above bracket
table.
2) Attached the brackets onto the actuator. It is recommended to use spring washer so the bolts will
not be loosen from vibration.
3) Set rotation position of the actuator stem at 0 %. For single acting actuator, it is easy to check 0 %
point by supplying no pressure to the actuator. For double acting actuator, check actuator stem’s
rotation direction – clockwise or counter-clockwise - by supplying pressure to the actuator.
4) (Only Fork lever type) Install the fork lever after setting actuator’s stem at 0 %. Check the actuator
stem’s rotation direction – clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Installation angle of the fork lever should be 45˚ to the longitudinal direction of the actuator.

6 Adjustments
1) On the right hand bottom of positioner, there is A/M switch (Auto/Manual). A/M Switch allows the
positioner to be functioned as by-pass. If the switch is turned clockwise (toward “A”) and it is fasten
tightly, then the supply pressure will be transferred to actuator through outport by positioner control.
On the other hand, if the switch is turned counter-clockwise (toward “M”), it is loosened, then the
supply pressure will be directly supplied to the actuator regardless of positioner control. It is
extremely important to check the allowed pressure level of the actuator when the switch is
loosened.
2) Check whether the supply pressure is too high.
3) After using “Manual” function, A/M switch should be returned to “Auto”.

Auto Calibration mode (AUTO CAL) automatically calibrates the positioner. “AUTO CAL” process takes
about 2 to 3 minutes, and the duration of the process varies upon the size of the actuator. There are 4
types of AUTO CAL.

AUTO 1 O O X X X X
AUTO 2 O O O O O X
AUTO 3 O O O O O O
AUTO HF O O O O O X
AUTO1 changes only zero and end points; however other parameters (P, I, D etc.) will not be adjusted.
It is recommended to perform AUTO1 when the positioner has been set by the valve manufacturer
already, and the field user wants to re-calibrate the positioner.

Unlike FST (Full Stroke Test) where a valve is fully closed and opened, PST (Partial Stroke Test) is a
method used to test a percentage of the possible failure of the valve by slightly closing and opening
the valve.
PST can be applied in parallel with FST and can reduce costs and risks compared to running FST on
a regular basis. The YT 3300 has its own PST function within the positioner to run the PST offline
without any other software. Also, PST configuration or result can be set or checked through HART
communication.
TARGET 2
TOL
START PO
TARGET 1
LATENCY INTERVAL
When the PST is run by PST NOW or SCHD, if valve position is within the range of TOL at the position
of START PO, Positioner supply or vent the pneumatic air until the valve reaches the TARGET 1 or 2.
But the PST will stop if valve position is out of the TOL or doesn’t reach TARGET1 or 2 within the LIMIT
TM. After the valve position reaches the TARGET 1 or 2, the valve will pause at that position during
the LATENCY time and then move back to the START PO position. For SCHD mode, where the PST
has just been completed, the valve waits for the INTERVAL time and then runs the PST again.
