Installation & Compatibility
- Mount on linear actuators per DIN/IEC 534 / NAMUR.
- Mount on rotary actuators per VDI/VDE 3845.
- Use 1/2-14 NPT for cable and 1/4-18 NPT for air pipe.
- Avoid strain on screw terminals during wiring.
- Works with Versamax control systems.
- Set travel limits from 0 to 100% (minimum range >20%).
- Adjust travel time prolongation from 0 to 200 seconds per direction.
Diagnostic Features & Applications
- Diagnostics: Monitor dead band time limit up to 200 seconds.
- Check shut-off values: end position 0% = 0…45%, end position 100% = 55…100%.
- Use digital output (NAMUR) to see logical “0” or “1” states.

Professional FAQ (5 Questions)
- How do I set the split range for this positioner? Configure between 20% and 100% of the nominal 4-20 mA range.
- What happens to air output during power failure? The double acting actuator vents air or stays blocked – safe position.
- Can I extend the travel time? Yes, set travel time prolongation from 0 to 200 seconds separately for each direction.
- Experience: What is a common wiring mistake? People ignore the 4 mA max current for digital input. Use a proper power supply below 30 V DC.
- Buying guide: Do I need the ATEX version (suffix 1)? Yes if your site has gas hazards (zone 1 or 2). No if you work in a safe area – choose suffix 0 to save cost.
