Note:
Occasionally, an adjustment to the input span setting results in a change to the start
point setting, due to a small interaction between these two settings. After adjusting the
input span potentiometer, ensure that both settings meet requirements by repeating steps
10 through 13, as necessary.
14. Turn off the current input signal to the drive and turn off power to the actuator. Then,
reconnect the drive’s leads to the controller.
15. Reinstall the cover onto the drive and secure it with the screw removed in step 3.
16. Reapply power to the actuator, then turn on the controller signal to the drive’s current
input.
CHECKOUT
After the entire system has been installed and the actuator has been powered up, the
following checks can be made to verify proper system operation.
Positioning with
Controller
If the sensed media is within the controller’s throttling range, the actuator can be positioned
by adjusting the controller setpoint up and down. Check for correct operation of the actuator
(valve or damper) while it is being stroked. Use a DVM or mA meter to verify the actual signal
that is applied.
Manual Positioning A manual positioning test of the drive may be conducted by performing the start point and
input span adjustment procedure. Where the procedure calls for adjustments to be made to
the potentiometers, simply verify that the actuator shaft is
just
reaching the start point or is
just
reaching its limit, as applicable.
MAINTENANCE
The drive requires no maintenance.
Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure sustained, optimum
performance.
FIELD REPAIR
None. Replace an inoperative drive with a functional unit.
