3 Description 3.1 Function
The electro-pneumatic positioner, in combination with the drive, forms a regulation system. The current position of the drive is detected using a servo potentiometer and is sent back as actual value x. The actual and target values are simultaneously displayed on the digital display.
The reference variable w is provided digitally through the Feldbus..
The positioner works as a predictive five-point positioner, through whose output value ±∆y the integrated valves can be controlled by pulse length modulation.
These positioning signals cause pressure changes in the drive chamber(s) and thus a repositioning of the drive until the regulation deviation returns to zero.
Using three buttons and a digital display with the housing cover removed, operation (manual mode) and configuration (structuring, initialization, and parameterization) can be performed.
Normally the basic device has one binary input (BE1). This can be individually configured, and is particu-larly provided for blocking the operating levels.
To be able to use the positioner in a variety of mechanically different rotational and linear actuators, it has a friction clutch and a switchable gear.
3.2 Structure
The following chapters describe the mechanical and electrical structure, components, and principle functional-ity of the positioner.
The positioner is used to adjust and regulate pneumatic drives. The positioner works electropneumatically, using compressed air as auxiliary power
The positioner can e.g. regulate valves with:
- Linear actuator (Figure 3-1) or - Quarter turn actuator VDI/VDE 3845 (Figure 3-2)
For linear actuators, there are various add-on extensions available
- NAMUR or. IEC 534
- integrated addition (ARCA, SAMSON) - integrated addition according to VDI/VDE 3847
You can mount the positioner on the usual drives and operate it with the usual drives.

3.3.2 Electric Connections
The connecting terminals for the base device, the optional analog, binary and slot initiator modules are ar-ranged at the front left-hand edge, and are displaced with respect to one another in a stepped pattern.
An assembly cover secures the components against being pulled out, and prevents incorrect assembly. 3.3.3 Pneumatic Connections

Figure 3-4 Pneumatic connections Connection versions
In addition, the rear of the positioner has pneumatic connections for integrated fitting of single-acting linear actuators:
- actuating pressure Y1
- exhaust air outlet E
Except in cases of integrated ARCA fitting, these connections are closed by screws. The exhaust air outlet E can be used to supply the sensing area and the spring chamber with dry, instrumentation-quality air to prevent corrosion.
Figure 3-6 illustrates the versions of the pneumatic connections for the various types of actuator, the position-ing effect and the safety position after failure of the auxiliary power supply.
3.3.4 Purging Air Switch The purging air switch is accessible when the housing is open above the pneumatic connection strip on the valve block. − In the IN position the interior of the housing is flushed by very small quantities of clean, dry instrumentation-
quality air. − In the OUT position, the purging air is fed directly outside.
Figure 3-5 Purging air switch on the valve block
CAUTION
Before working on the control valve
Note that before working on the control valve, you must first move it to the safety position. Make sure that the control valve has reached the safety position. If you only interrupt the pneumatic auxiliary power supply to the positioner, the safety position may in some cases only be attained after a certain delay period.

3.3.5 Restrictors Note The exhaust air valve is always open in the de-energized state.
In order to achieve floating times of > 1.5 s on small actuators, it is possible to reduce the air power by means of the restrictors Y1 and Y2.
By turning to the right, the air power is reduced until it is completely blocked
In order to adjust the restrictors, it is recommended that they are closed and then slowly opened (see ini-tialization RUN3).
In case of double-acting valves, ensure that both restrictors have approximately the same setting.

12 1 O-ring 13 x 2.5
Mounting procedure (see Figure 4-1)
1. Adjust the pin (1) on the previously assembled lever to the value of the stroke range given on the actuator or, if this is not available as a scale value, at the next largest scale value. In case of uncertainty with regard to the real actuator stroke (pneumatic actuators often have a travel resource) you always have to choose the next large scale value. The centre of the pin must be positioned at the scale value. The same value can later be set during the commissioning under the parameter 3.YWAY, in order to display the displacement in mm after the initialization.
2. Push the lever to the stop on the controller axis, and fix it with cylinder head screw (6).
3. Open the rear actuating pressure outlet by removing the screw (13) and the O-ring (14).
4. When fitting with spring chamber exhaust air supply open the exhaust air outlet by removing the screw (15) and the O-ring (16).
5. Seal the actuating pressure outlet with screw plug (11). When fitting with exhaust air supply remove ex-haust air silencer and seal.
6. Insert the O-ring (12) in the intermediate bracket recess.
7. Locate the positioner on the actuator in such a way that the roller passes between the pins (17).
8. Align the controller horizontally at the intermediate bracket, and assemble it with the screws (9) and lock washers (10).
CAUTION
Humid environment/dry compressed air
Install the positioner in a humid environment such that the positioner shaft does not freeze at low ambient temperatures.
Ensure that water does not seep through an open enclosure or an open gland. Water may seep through if the positioner is not installed and connected on-site immediately and finally.
As a general rule, the positioner must be operated only with dry compressed air. Therefore, use the custom-ary water separator. An additional dryer is required in extreme cases. The use of dryers is especially impor-tant when you operate the positioner at low ambient temperatures. Set the Purge air switch to the "OUT" position when installing on the pneumatic block, above the pneumatic connections.

Assembly procedure (see Figure 4-3)
1. Assemble the clamping pieces (3) using the hexagonal screws (14) and lock washers (13) to the actuator spindle.
2. Push the sensing hoop (2) into the cut-outs in the clamping piece. Adjust to the required length, and tight-ened the screws so that it is still just possible to push the sensing handle.
3. Adjust the pin (4) on the previously assembled lever to the value of the stroke range given on the actuator or, if this is not available as a scale value, at the next largest scale value. In case of uncertainty with regard to the real actuator stroke (pneumatic actuators often have a travel resource) you always have to choose the next large scale value. The centre of the pin must be positioned at the scale value. The same value can later be set during the commissioning under the parameter 3.YWAY, in order to display the displacement in mm after the initialization.
4. Push the lever to the stop on the controller axis, and fix it with cylinder head screw (14).
5. Assemble the fitting angle (1) with two hexagonal screws (8), lock washer (9) and washers (10) to the rear of the positioner. The choice of the hole row depends on the width of the actuator's intermediate bracket width. The roller should engage in the sensing hoop (2) as close to the spindle as possible, but must not touch the clamping piece.
6. Hold the positioner with the fixing angle to the actuator in such a way that the pin (4) passes inside the sensing hoop (2).
7. Tighten the sensing hoop.
8. Prepare the assembly parts in accordance with the actuator type: - Actuator with a rib: hexagonal bolt (7), washer (10) and lock washer (9). - Actuator with a flat surface: four hexagonal bolts (7) with washer (10) and lock washer (9). - Actuator with columns: two U-bolts (6), four hexagonal nuts (17) with washer (10) and lock washer (9).
9. Attach the positioner with the previously prepared assembly parts to the intermediate bracket. Adjust the height of the positioner so that the horizontal position of the lever is achieved as close as possible to the centre of the stroke. The actuator's lever scale provides orientation here. It is essential that the horizontal lever position is passed through within the range of the stroke.

4.4 Note on the Use of Positioners in Wet Environments
This information provides you with important notes on assembling the positioner in wet environments (frequent heavy rain and/or persistent tropical condensation) in which protection class IP66 is no longer sufficient, in particular when there is a risk that the water might freeze. Avoid the unfavourable mounting positions:
To prevent fluids seeping through during normal operation of the device, e.g. through exhaust air openings.
Otherwise the digital display becomes poorly legible.
CAUTION
Never clean the positioner with a high pressure cleaner. Protection class IP66 is inadequate for this.

Figure 4-7 Favourable and unfavourable installation positions
If local conditions force you to operate the positioner in an unfavourable installation position, you can prevent the entry of water through additional measures. Additional measures
The steps necessary to prevent the entry of water depends on the installation position chosen. In certain cases you may need:
- Threaded joint with sealing rings (e. g. FESTO: CK -¼ -PK-6)
- Plastic hose, approx. 20 to 30 cm (e. g. FESTO: PUN- 8x1,25 SW) - Cable ties (number and length depend on the local conditions)
Procedure
1. Arrange the pipes in such a way that rainwater or condensation that runs along the length of the pipes can drop off before reaching the positioner's connection strip.
2. Check that the seals for the electrical connections are correctly seated.
3. Check that the seal of the housing cover is not damaged or soiled. Clean or replace it if necessary.
4. If possible, mount the positioner in such a way that the sintered bronze silencer on the underneath of the housing is pointing downwards (vertical installation position). If this is not possible, the silencer should be replaced by a plastic hose using a suitable threaded joint.
Assembling the Threaded Joint with Plastic Hose
1. Unscrew the sintered bronze silencer from the exhaust air opening on the underside of the housing.
2. Screw the threaded joint mentioned above into the outlet opening.
3. Fit the plastic hose mentioned above to the threaded joint and check that it is tightly seated.
4. Use a cable tie to fasten the plastic hose to the fittings in such a way that the opening is pointing down-wards.
5. Check that the hose is not kinked, and that the exhaust air can flow out easily. 4.5 Positioners exposed to strong acceleration forces or vibrations
High acceleration forces occur on fittings that are heavily mechanically stressed, such as breakaway flaps, heavily shaking or vibrating valves or "steam hammer". These forces can be well outside the range specified in the technical data. In extreme cases this can result in displacement of the slip clutch or the leverage ratio switch.
In these cases the positioner is fitted as standard with a locking device for the slip clutch with which displace-ment as a result of the above-mentioned influences is inhibited.
The adjustment function is accessible beneath the black adjusting wheel of the slip clutch and recognisable on the yellow wheel with slots. The null point setting and slip clutch adjustment functions are marked with symbols on an auxiliary plate
The clamping piece for the transmission leverage ratio switch is located under the terminals and is also fitted with a yellow adjusting wheel with slots.
Reference no.: 827A-FF-BA-09-13_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 21 von 42
4.5.1 Slip clutch
Procedure
After the positioner has been fitted and fully set into operation, the slip clutch can be locked as follows:
1. Place a commercial screwdriver of about 4 mm wide in a slot in the yellow wheel.
2. Turn the yellow wheel anti-clockwise with the screwdriver until it latches detectably. The slip clutch is thereby locked.
3. A locked slip clutch is to be recognised by an approximately 1 mm wide gap between the yellow and black wheel.
4. If a null point setting is necessary, e.g. after a drive change, the locking is released by a clockwise rotation up to the stop of the yellow wheel. After the null point setting the slip clutch can be fixed again as described above.
4.5.2 Leverage ratio switch
Starting from the neutral position (as-delivered condition) the leverage ratio switch can be adjusted as follows:
1. Plug a conventional 4 mm wide screwdriver into a slot in the yellow wheel.
2. Then turn the adjustment wheel in accordance to the chosen gearing position (33° or 90°) clockwise or anti-clockwise until it snaps in audibly.
3. An adjusted fixed leverage ratio switch is recognizable from the asymmetric position of the adjustment wheel.
4. If you have to switch over the gearing, the adjustment has to be loosen by turning the adjustment wheel into neutral position first.

External Travel Acquisition
External travel acquisition is a possibility for those cases in which the measures described above are not suffi-cient, such as when vibration is heavy and persistent, at particularly high or low ambient temperatures, or in the presence of nuclear radiation. In this case the special positioner (see Type Code) is used at a distance from the fitting.

5.1 Electrical connection, basic device
If the bus shield is fully effective, the interference immunity and the interference emission conform to the speci-fications. The following measures ensure that the bus shield is fully effective:
The shields have been connected to the metallic connections of the positioner. The shields have been laid up to the terminal boxes, the distributor and the transceiver. Safety shutdown
The positioner is equipped with an additional input (terminal 81 and terminal 82) for driving to the safety posi-tion. After activating this function this input must be supplied with uninterrupted, to allow normal positioning operation.
If this power supply is switched off or drops out, the air exhaust valve is automatically opened and the drive will move to the pre-arranged safety position, so that the drive cannot be activated using the keys on the control unit or by means of the master switch.
This function is activated by the coding bridge on the motherboard. This is accessible after removing the mod-ule cover and must be moved from the right position (as delivered) to the left position Installing the bus cable
1. Isolate the buscable as shown in figure 5-2.
2. Open the positioner housing by undoing the four cover screws.
3. Feed the prepared bus cable through the screw-type cable gland.
4. Secure the shield with the cable clip and the two screws to the housing
5. Tighten the screw-type cable gland
6. Connect the red and green wires as shown in figure 5-3 to terminals 6 and 7 of the mother board (the polar-ity is immaterial)

Procedure
- If appropriate, connect manometer block for air supply and actuating pressure.
- Connection via internal thread G 1/4 DIN 45141
PZ Air supply 1,4 to 7 bar Y1 Actuating pressure 1 for single-acting and double-acting actuators Y2 Actuating pressure 2 for double-acting actuators E Exhaust air output (remove silencer if necessary)
- Safety position at failure of auxiliary electrical power:
Single-acting: Y1 vented Double-acting: Y1 max. actuating pressure (supply pressure) Y2 vented
- Connect actuating pressure Y1 or Y2 (only on double-acting actuators) according to the desired safety posi-tion.
- Connect air supply to PZ.
Note
So that spring-loaded pneumatic actuators can reliably exploit the maximum possible travel, it is necessary that the supply pressure exceeds the maximum required final pressure of the actuator by a sufficient margin.
After installing the pneumatic connections, check the tightness of the entire control valve. Besides continuous air consumption, the positioner may try to compensate the position deviation due to leakage. This will lead to premature wear in the entire control unit. 7 Commissioning

Safety notes for operation with natural gas
For operation with natural gases actuator medium an electric connection acc to explosion protection „ia“ cate-gory 2G is needed. More information and safety notes see for manual 827A-GHB-natural gas General Information
After installing the positioner on a pneumatic actuator, you must supply electric and pneumatic auxiliary power to it.
The positioner is in the "P manual mode" before initialization. At the same time, "NOINI" blinks in the lower line of the digital display.
Adjust the positioner as per the respective actuator with the help of the initialization process and by setting the parameters. If required, use the "PRST" parameter to cancel the adjustment of the positioner on the actuator. The positioner is again in the "P manual mode" after this process.
WARNING
Water in compressed air line
Device damage and possibly loss of type of protection. The factory setting for the purging air selector is "IN". In the "IN" position, water from the compressed air line may enter the device from the pneumatics during initial commissioning.
Before commissioning, make sure that no water is present in the compressed air line. If you cannot be sure that there is no water in the compressed air line:
Set the purging air selector to "OUT". In this way, you prevent water from the compressed air line from penetrating the device.
Only set the purging air selector to "IN" again when all water has been discharged from the compressed air line.
NOTICE
Loss of degree of protection
Damage to device if the enclosure is open or not properly closed. The degree of protection specified on the nameplate is no longer guaranteed.
Make sure that the device is securely closed.
WARNING
Commissioning and operation with pending error
If an error message appears, correct operation in the process is no longer guaranteed.
Check the gravity of the error
Correct the error
If the device is faulty: - Take the device out of operation. - Prevent renewed commissioning.
NOTICE
During the initialization process, the operating pressure must be at least one bar more than that required to close or open the valve. However, the operating pressure should not be greater than the maximum permissible operating pressure for the actuator.
The leverage ratio switch can be set only when the positioner is open. Therefore, check this setting before closing the enclosure.
Reference no.: 827A-FF-BA-09-13_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 28 von 42
Types of initialization
- Automatic initialization
The initialization takes place automatically. In this case, the positioner determines, one after another, the effective working direction, the travel distance or rotation angle and the actuator's adjustment times and adjusts the control parameters to match the dynamic behaviour of the actuator.
- Manual initialization
The travel distance or rotation angle of the actuator can be set manually. The other parameters are automatically determined, just as in the case of automatic initialization. This function is useful on actua-tors with soft end stops
- Copying Initialization Data (Positioner Exchange)
In devices with HART functionality, the initialization data of one positioner can be read and copied into another positioner. This allows a faulty device to be exchanged, without having to interrupt a running process in order to carry out initialization.
You have to define a few parameters for the positioner before initialization. Owing to the preset values, you cannot adjust further parameters for initialization.
You can use a suitably configured and activated binary input to protect the configured settings against acciden-tal adjustment. 7.1 Preparations for Linear Actuators
1. Assemble the positioner with the appropriate mounting kit
The position of the leverage ratio switch in the positioner is particularly important here.
Stroke lever Position leverage ratio switch 5 to 20 mm short 33° (i.e. down) 25 to 35 mm short 90° (i.e. up) 40 to 130 mm long 90° (i.e. up n)
2. Connect a suitable source of current or voltage
3. Connect the actuator and the positioner to the pneumatic lines, and activate the positioner's auxiliary pneumatic power.
4. The positioner is now in the “P–manual" operating mode. The top line of the display now shows the current potentiometer voltage (P) in percent, e.g.: “P37.5“, while "NOINI" flashes on the bottom line:
5. Check that the mechanics can move freely over the entire active range by moving the actuator with the
and buttons as far as the end positions. The value P5.0 may not be fallen below and P95.0 may not be exceeded. The difference of the two values must be greater than 25.0
You can move the actuator rapidly by pressing the button for the opposite direction as well while continuing to hold down the first direction button.
6. Now move the actuator so that the lever is horizontal. The display should show a value between P48.0 and P52.0. If this is not the case, make appropriate adjustments to the slip clutch. The closer you can get to the "P50.0" value, the more accurately the positioner can determine the travel.

positioner without needing to initialize it. An electropneumatic positioner uses the communication interface to transfer data. The following steps are required to exchange a positioner:
1. Prerequisite is that the positioner to be replaced and all ist parameters is in the project database. The replacement instrument should be online on the bus.
2. Fix the actuator in its current position (mechanically or pneumatically).
3. Read and note the current position value from the display of the positioner that is being replaced. If the electronics are faulty, find the current position by measurement at the actuator or valve
4. Dismount the positioner. Fit the lever arm of the positioner to the replacement device. Mount the replace-ment device to the fittings. Put the leverage ratio switch in the same position as on the faulty device. Download the device data and initialization dat.
5. Now transfer all parameters from the projected positioner to the new positioner. With the NI Configurator this can be done by right clicking the appropriate blocks in the function block application window, chosing ”Replace With ...” and selecting the new blocks. Do this also with the Transducer Block. In order to transfer the parameter INIT_VALUES (Initialization parameters), you have to set SERVICE_UPDATE (Save/Reset) to 9 (Enable Write INIT--Values), then click ”Write changes” and set SERVICE_UPDATE to 3 (Set device to state INIT). Now the positioner is initilisid with the same parameters as the old one
6. If the actual value displayed does not accord with the value noted from the faulty positioner, set the correct value with the slip clutch.
7. The positioner is now ready for operation.
The accuracy and the dynamic behaviour may not be as good as they would be following a proper initialization. In particular the position of the hard end stops and the associated servicing data may be inaccurate. An initiali-zation must therefore be carried out at the next opportunity.
NOTICE
Deferred initialization
Initialize the replacement positioner as soon as possible. The following properties can be ensured only after initializing: Optimum adjustment of the positioner as per the mechanical and dynamic properties of the actuator. Unrestricted accuracy and dynamic behaviour of the positioner Deviation-free position of the hard end stops Correctness of the maintenance data

When does the fault appear?
- Regularly (reproducible) 1 2 3 4
- Sporadically (not reproducible) 5
- Mostly after a certain length of time of operation 2 3 5
Table 1 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures
Positioner remains in “RUN 1“ mode.
- Initialization from end position started and
- Failure to wait for reaction time of max. 1 min.
- Mains pressure not connected or too low.
- Up to 1 min waiting time is required
- Do not start initialization from end position
- Check mains pressure
Positioner remains in “RUN 2“ mode.
- Leverage ratio switch and Parame-ter 2 (YAGL) and also actual stroke are not in agreement.
- Stroke on lever incorrectly adjusted.
- Piezo valve(s) are not switching (see Table 2)
- Check settings: Leverage ratio switch (10 in fig.1) and parameter 2
- Check stroke on lever
- see Table 2
Positioner remains in “RUN 3“ mode.
- Actuator travel time too long - Open restrictor completely and/or set PZ pressure to highest permis-sible value.
- If necessary use booster
Positioner remains in “RUN 5“ mode, does not get to “FINISH“ (waiting time > 5 min)
- “Slack” (play) in the positioner – actuator – fitting
- Quarter-turn actuator: Check that grub screw on the coupling wheel is tight
- Linear actuator: Check that lever on the positioner shaft is tight
- Remove any other play between actuator and fitting.
Reference no.: 827A-FF-BA-09-13_gb ARCA-Regler GmbH D - 47918 Tönisvorst Page 38 von 42
Table 2 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures
- “CPU test“ flashes in the display (approx. every 2 s)
- Piezo valve(s) are not switching.
- Water in the valve block (caused by wet compressed air)
- Actuator will not move at all or only in one direction in both manual and automatic operating modes.
- Dampness in the valve block
- In its early stages the fault can be removed by subsequent operation with dry air (if necessary in the dryer at 50 to 70°C).
- Otherwise repair
- Screw between cover and valve block not screwed tight or cover jammed.
- Tighten screw, if necessary remove cause of jam.
- Dirt (chips, particles) in valve block - Repair or new unit
- Piezo valve(s) are not switching (also no soft “clicking” audible if
or - button depressed in manual operating mode).
- Deposits on contacts between elec-tronics board and valve block; these can occur as a result of abrasion from long-term loading caused by severe vibration..
- Clean all contact surfaces with spirit, if necessary bend valve block contact springs a little.
Table 3 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures
- Actuator does not move - Compressed air < 1.4 bar - Set incoming air pressure to > 1.4 bar.
- Restrictor valve(s) closed (screw(s) at the right-hand stop)
- Open restrictor screw(s) by turning to the left
- Piezo valve(s) are not switching (however soft “clicking” audible if or button depressed in manual operating mode).
- Dirt in the valve block - Repair or new unit
- Pneumatic leakage in the posi-tioner – actuator system. Begin leakage test in “RUN 3“ (initiali-zation)
- Remove source of leakage in actua-tor and/or feed
- In the case where actuator is intact and feed is fully sealed: Repair or new unit
- In steady-state automatic oper-ating mode (constant setpoint) and in manual operating mode one Piezo valve is constantly switching.
- Dirt in the valve block (see above) - Repair or new unit
Table 4 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures
- Static friction in the stuffing box of fitting or actuator too large.
- Reduce static friction or increase dead zone (parameter DEBA) until the oscillating movement stops
- Slack (play) in the positioner - actua-tor - fitting system
- Quarter-turn actuator: Check that grub screw on the coupling wheel is tight
- Linear actuator: Check that lever on the positioner shaft is tight
- Remove any other play between actuator and fitting.
- In steady-state automatic oper-ating mode (constant setpoint) and in manual operating mode both Piezo valves are constantly switching alternately; actuator oscillates about a mean value.
- Actuator too fast - Increase travel times by means of restrictor screws.
- If fast travel time is necessary, in-crease dead zone (parameter DEBA) until the oscillating movement stops.
- Positioner does not drive fitting up to the stop (with a 100% in-put signal)
- Supply pressure too low - Increase supply pressure

Table 5 Fault symptoms Possible cause(s) Remedial measures
- Null point moves about sporadi-cally (> 3 %)
- As a result of impact or shock loading accelerations occur that are so high that the slip clutch is displaced (e.g. by “steam hammer” in steam pipe-work)
- Remove causes of shock loading.
- Re-initialise positioner, lock slip clutch (see chapter 4.1.2)
- Electrical auxiliary power source inadequate ( 3,6 mA)
- Control electrical auxiliary power source
- With very high long-term loading caused by vibration (oscillations)::
- Equipment functionality com-pletely fails: also no indication in the display
- Screws on the electrical con-necting terminals can work loose.
- Electrical connecting terminals and/or electronic components can be shaken loose
- Tighten screws and secure with sealant
- Repair
- As a preventative measure mount positioner on rubber-metal mounts

The positioner requires almost no maintenance. Filters are fitted to the pneumatic connections to protect the positioner against large particles of dirt. Dirt present in the input air can collect on the filter and then adversely affect the operation of the positioner (increased travel time). In such a case, the filters can be cleaned as fol-lows:
1. Switch off the auxiliary pneumatic energy and disconnect the hose lines.
2. Carefully remove the metal filters from the holes and clean them (e.g. with compressed air).
3. Insert the filters
4. Connect the hose lines again and turn on the auxiliary pneumatic power. 11 Technical Data General data for the base device Degree of protection IP66 to EN60529
