Ordering Code Breakdown (Tree View)

• V18345 = TZIDC intelligent positioner with display and keypad
  • 10 = Aluminum case IP65, no mechanical indicator
  • 2 = 4-20mA with LKS adapter plus FSK module for HART
  • 1 = FM/CSA explosion protection
  • 1 = Double acting, fail freeze
  • 2 = Electrical 1/2-14 NPT, Air 1/4-18 NPT
  • 0 = No analog feedback
  • 00 = No mechanical feedback
  • 1 = Standard design

Installation Guide

• Mount the positioner on the valve assembly.
• Connect air supply to 1/4-18 NPT or G 1/4 ports.
• Wire 4-20 mA signal to screw terminals.
• Do not put strain on the terminal wires.
• Use cable glands on the 1/2-14 NPT threads.
• Keep one thread with a pipe plug if not used.
• Close the housing properly for IP65 protection.

HART Communication Setup

• The FSK module enables HART communication.
• Connect a HART modem to the 4-20 mA loop.
• Use HART handheld or PC software for configuration.
• Read live valve position data remotely.
• Adjust parameters without opening the housing.

Environmental Tolerance

• Works in very cold temperatures down to -40°C.
• Handles hot environments up to +85°C.
• High humidity up to 95% is fine. Condensation is allowed.
• IP65 case keeps dust and water jets out.
• Epoxy varnish coating resists corrosion.

Electrical Connections – Important Notes

• Screw terminals accept wires up to 2.5 mm² for analog signal.
• Options wiring uses max 1.0 mm².
• Never put strain on the terminals. Use cable ties nearby.
• Two cable entries available: 1/2-14 NPT or M20x1.5.
• One entry comes with cable gland. The other has a pipe plug.

Compatibility

• Works with any pneumatic valve actuator.
• Accepts standard 4-20 mA control signals from any DCS or PLC.
• Double acting output suits double-acting actuators.
• HART communication works with any HART master device.
• FM/CSA approval allows use in hazardous locations.

Professional FAQ

• Q: What is the difference between V18345-1021120001 and V18345-1010521001?
• A: This model adds HART communication (digit 2) and FM/CSA explosion protection (digit 3). The other model has neither.
• Q: Can I use this positioner in very cold climates?
• A: Yes. It works down to -40°C. Perfect for outdoor winter applications.
• Q: What happens to condensation inside the housing?
• A: Condensation is allowed. The electronics can handle it when the housing stays closed.
• Practical tip from engineers:
• Always use shielded cable for the 4-20 mA loop with HART. Noise can disrupt HART communication.
• Selection guide for buyers:
• Choose V18345-1021120001 for hazardous locations needing FM/CSA approval and HART.
• Do you need analog position feedback? Pick digit 7 = 1 instead of 0.
• No explosion protection needed? Select V18345-1011120001 (digit 3 = 0).
• Need single acting fail close? Change digit 4 to 4 instead of 1.
• Confirm your thread type. This model uses NPT. Choose metric threads if needed (digit 5 option).
