Description
Product Description
The V18345-1010221001 from ABB is a TZIDC-120 intelligent valve positioner. It works with linear and rotary actuators. The device uses a 4-20 mA two-wire input signal. This positioner has single acting output with fail freeze function. It includes a plug-in analog position feedback module (4-20 mA). The aluminum case has IP65 (NEMA 4X) protection. Each unit ships with a 12-month warranty.

Professional FAQ
- What does fail freeze mean on this positioner? When electrical power fails, the actuator locks in its last position. Air does not vent. This is different from fail open or fail close.
- Can I use this positioner with a double acting actuator? Yes. The output works for both single and double acting. Configure the setting during setup.
- What is the minimum current to start the device? 3.8 mA. The unit wakes up at this level. Below that, the positioner will not operate.
- Do I need explosion protection for my plant? This model has no explosion protection (option 0). For hazardous areas, order V18345 with a different position in the code.
- How do I connect the analog feedback? The plug-in module is already installed. Wire the 4-20 mA feedback loop to your control system. Range matches valve position 0-100%.
Buying Guide – Selection Advice
- Verify actuator type: Linear or rotary
- Check air supply pressure (1.4 to 6 bar typical)
- Confirm thread types: 1/2-14 NPT cable, 1/4-18 NPT air
- Need explosion rating? Choose different option code
- Need higher air flow? Request booster option
- Single acting application? This model works well
- Add external filter regulator for clean air supply
- Order mounting kit separately for your actuator brand
- Keep spare positioner for critical process lines
- Download TZIDC-120 manual before installation
