Design and principle of operation
Design and
operation
principle
of
The electropneumatic positioner is mounted

to pneumatic control valves and is used to
assign the valve position (controlled variable x) to the control signal (reference variable w). The DC control signal received from
a control unit is compared to the travel of
the control valve and issues a signal pressure (output variable y).
A supply pressure between 1.4 to 6 bar is
required. The electric input signal is a reference variable between 4 to 20 mA.
(9) with fixed settings is used to purge the

positioner and also guarantees trouble-free
operation of the pneumatic booster.
The output signal pressure supplied by the
booster can be limited over the DIP switch
S5.
The volume restriction Q (10) and the switch
S6 are used to optimize the positioner by
adapting it to the actuator size and changing the gain factor.
The positioner is designed depending on the

corresponding accessories for direct attachment to Type 3277 Actuators or for attachment to actuators according to IEC 60534-6
(NAMUR).
The positioner basically consists of a travel
sensor system which is proportional to resistance, an analog i/p converter with downstream air capacity booster, and analog
controller electronics.
The position of the valve is transmitted as
linear travel motion via pick-up lever and
travel sensor (2) to an analog PD controller
(3). The PD controller compares this actual
position to the 4 to 20 mA DC control signal
received from a control unit. In case of a
system deviation, the operation of the i/p
converter (6) is changed so that the actuator
(1) is filled or vented via the downstream air
capacity booster (7). This causes the valve
plug to move to the position determined by
the reference variable.
The pneumatic air capacity booster (7) and
the pressure regulator (8) are provided with
supply air. An intermediate flow regulator
EB 8384-0 EN
Tight-closing function:
After activating the tight-closing function (refer to section 7.12), the pneumatic actuator
is completely filled with air or vented as
soon as the reference variable falls below or
exceeds the corresponding deactivating
point of 4.5 mA or 19.5 mA.
In the case of three-way valves, the function
allows the plug move to the end position
with full actuator force.

The positioner can be attached either directly to a SAMSON Type 3277 Actuator or
according to IEC 60534-6 (NAMUR) to control valves with cast yokes or rod-type yoke.
For attachment to the various actuators, corresponding mounting parts and accessories
are required. These are listed with their order numbers in Tables 1 to 4.
Fig. 3 Lever M with pin position 35
On attaching the positioner, it is important

to observe the assignment between lever
and pin position according to the travels
listed in the travel tables.
The travel that can be achieved at the valve
is restricted by the pin position used and additionally by the selected fail-safe action and
the actuator spring compression required.
The positioner is standard equipped with the
lever M (pin position 35).
Note:
If the standard mounted lever M (pin position 35) is replaced, the newly mounted lever must be moved once all the way as far
as it will go in both directions to adapt it to
the internal measuring lever.

Depending on the type of positioner attachment, the signal pressure is routed either left
or right of the yoke through a bore to the
actuator diaphragm. Depending on the
fail-safe action of the actuator "Actuator
stem extends" or "Actuator stem retracts"
(valve closes or opens if the supply air fails),
the switchover plate (9) must first be attached to the actuator yoke. Align the
switchover plate with the corresponding
symbol for left or right attachment according
to the marking (view looking onto the
switchover plate).
1. Mount connecting plate (6) or pressure
gauge bracket (7) with pressure gauges
onto the positioner, making sure both
seal rings (6.1) are seated properly.
2. Remove screw plug (4) on the back of
the positioner and close the signal pressure output "Output 38" on the connecting plate (6) or on the pressure gauge
bracket (7) with the stopper (5) included
in the accessories.
3. Place follower clamp (3) on the actuator
stem, align and screw tight so that the
mounting screw is located in the groove
of the actuator stem.
4. Mount cover plate (10) with narrow side
of the cut-out opening (Fig. 4, on the left)

yoke.
15 mm travel: Keep the follower pin (2)
at lever M (1) on the back of the
positioner in the pin position 35 (delivered state).
7.5 mm travel: Remove the follower pin
(2) from the pin position 35, reposition it
in the bore for pin position 25 and
screw tight.
Insert formed seal (15) in the groove of
the positioner casing.
Place positioner on the cover plate (10)
in such a manner that the follower pin
(2) rests on the top of the follower clamp
(3). Adjust the lever (1) correspondingly
and open the positioner cover to hold
the positioner shaft in position at the cap
or the switch. The lever (1) must rest on
the follower clamp with spring force.
Mount the positioner on the cover plate
(10) using the two fixing screws. During
the installation make sure that the seal
ring (10.1) is inserted in the bore of the
intermediate plate.

Mount the positioner on the yoke as shown
in Fig. 5. The signal pressure is routed to the
actuator over the connection block (12), for
actuators with fail-safe action "Actuator
stem extends" internally through a bore in
the valve yoke and for "Actuator stem retracts" through external piping.
1. Place follower clamp (3) on the actuator
stem, align and screw tight so that the
mounting screw is located in the groove
of the actuator stem.
2. Mount cover plate (10) with narrow side
of the cut-out opening (Fig. 5, on the left)
pointing towards the signal pressure
connection. Make sure that the bonded
gasket (14) points towards the actuator
yoke.

Reversing amplifier for

double-acting actuators
For the use with double-acting actuators, the

positioner must be fitted with a reversing
amplifier, e.g. the SAMSON Type 3710 Reversing Amplifier (see Mounting and Operating Instructions EB 8392 EN).
If a different reversing amplifier (item no.
1079-1118 or 1079-1119) is used, follow
the mounting instructions described in section 4.3.1.
4.3.1 Reversing amplifier

(1079-1118 or 1079-1119)
The output signal pressure of the positioner
is supplied at the output A1 of the reversing
amplifier. An opposing pressure, which
equals the required supply pressure when
added to the pressure at A1, is applied at
output A2.
The rule A1 + A2 = Z applies.
Mounting
1. Mount the connecting plate (6) from the
accessories in Table 4 to the positioner.
Make sure that both O-rings (6.1) are
seated correctly.
2. Thread the special nuts (1.3) from the
accessories of the reversing amplifier
into the boreholes of the connecting
plate.
3. Insert the gasket (1.2) into the recess of
the reversing amplifier and push both
the special hollow screws (1.1) into the
connecting boreholes A1 and Z.

provide corrosion protection inside the actuator. The following must be observed:
Direct attachment to Type 3277-5 (stem extends FA/stem retracts FE)
The air purging function is automatically
provided.
Direct attachment to Type 3277, 240 to
700 cm
FA: Remove the stopper 12.2 (Fig. 5 on
page 15) at the connection block and
make a pneumatic connection to the
spring chamber on the vented side.
NOTICE
The method described does not apply to
old connection blocks in powder-paintcoated aluminum. In this case, follow
the instructions for attachment described
below in Attachment acc. to IEC
60534-6 (NAMUR rib or attachment to
rod-type yokes) and to rotary actuators.
FE: The air purging function is automatically provided.
Attachment acc. to IEC 60534-6 (NAMUR
rib or attachment to rod-type yokes)
The positioner requires an additional port
for the exhaust air that can be connected
over piping. An adapter available as an accessory is used for this purpose:
Connections
Threaded bushing G
(M20 x 1.5):
NPT
0310-2619
0310-2550
NOTICE
The adapter uses one of the M20 x 1.5 connections in the housing which means just
one cable gland can be installed.
Should other valve accessories be used
which vent the actuator (e.g. solenoid valve,
volume booster, quick exhaust valve), this
exhaust air must also be included in the
purging function. The connection over the
adapter at the positioner must be protected
with a check valve (e.g. check valve G ,
order no. 8502-0597) mounted in the piping. Otherwise the pressure in the positioner
housing would rise above the ambient pressure and damage the positioner when the
exhausting components respond suddenly.
Connections
WARNING!
Mount the positioner, keeping the following
sequence:
1. Remove the protective film from the
pneumatic connections
2. Mount the positioner on the control valve
3. Connect the supply air
4. Connect the electrical power
5. Perform the start-up settings
The connection of the electrical auxiliary
power may cause the actuator stem to move,
depending on the operating mode.
Do not touch the actuator stem or obstruct it
to avoid risk of injury to hands or fingers.
5.1
Pneumatic connections
NOTICE
Follow the instructions below to avoid damaging the positioner:
The threaded connections in the
positioner housing are not designed direct air connection!
The supply air must be dry and free from
oil and dust.
The maintenance instructions for upstream pressure reducing stations must
be observed.
Blow through all air pipes and hoses
thoroughly prior to connecting them.
The screw glands must be screwed into the
connecting plate, the pressure gauge mounting block or the connection block from the
accessories. The air connections are option-

thread.
The customary fittings for metal and copper
pipes or plastic hoses can be used.
If the positioner is attached directly to the
Type 3277 Actuator, the connection of the
positioner's output pressure to the actuator is
fixed. For attachment according to
IEC 60534-6 (NAMUR), the signal pressure
can be routed to either the top or bottom diaphragm chamber of the actuator, depending on the actuator's fail-safe action "Actuator stem extends" or "Actuator stem retracts".
5.1.1 Signal pressure gauges
Actuator stem retracts FE (Air to close ATC)

Fail-safe position "Valve OPEN"
(for globe and angle valves):
For tight-closing valves, the maximum signal
pressure pstmax is roughly estimated as follows:
pstmax = F +
d2 p Dp
[bar]
4A
d = Seat diameter [cm]

Dp = Differential pressure across the valve
[bar]
A = Actuator diaphragm area [cm]
F = Upper bench range of the actuator
[bar]
To monitor the supply air (Supply) and signal pressure (Output), we recommend that
pressure gauges be attached (see accessories in Tables 1 to 4).
If there are no specifications, calculate as

follows:
5.1.2 Supply pressure
Required supply pressure =

Upper bench range value + 1 bar
The required supply air pressure depends on

the bench range and the actuator's operating direction (fail-safe action). The bench
range is registered on the nameplate either
as spring range or signal pressure range.
The direction of action is marked FA or FE,
or by a symbol.
Note:
The signal pressure at the output (Output 38) of the positioner can be limited to
approx. 2.4 bar by setting the DIP switch
S5.
Actuator stem extends FA (Air to open

ATO)
Fail-safe position "Valve CLOSED"
(for globe and angle valves):
Required supply pressure = Upper bench
range value + 0.2 bar,
minimum 1.4 bar.

Fail-safe position
The switch position of switch S1 depends on

the fail-safe position of the valve:
4 AIR TO OPEN Upon air supply failure,
the valve is completely closed by the

actuator. As the signal pressure increases at the output of the positioner
(OUTPUT 38), the valve opens.
AIR TO CLOSE Upon air supply failure,
the valve is completely opened by the actuator. As the signal pressure increases
at the output of the positioner, the valve
closes.
To determine the switch position, read the
associated switch position S1 = ON or OFF
from the cover plate at the actuator symbols.
The symbols are read properly when the

symbol shows the actuator on top of the
valve; symbols upside down do not apply.
AIR TO OPEN: Pneumatic connections point
to the right S1 = ON. Pneumatic connections
point to the left S1 = OFF.
AIR TO CLOSE: Pneumatic connections point
to the right S1 = OFF. Pneumatic connections point to the left S1 = ON.
AIR TO OPEN always applies for double-acting actuators. Proceed as described

4 Actuators with a transit time < 1 s, e.g.

4
linear actuators with an effective area

smaller than 240 cm, require a restricted air flow rate (MIN).
Actuators with a transit time 1 s do not
require the air flow rate to be restricted
(MAX).
The position of volume restriction Q also depends on how the signal pressure is routed
at the actuator in SAMSON actuators:
4 The SIDE position applies for actuators

4
with a loading pressure connection at the

side, e.g. Type 3271-5.
The BACK position applies for actuators with a loading pressure connection

Maintenance
Maintenance
The positioner does not require any maintenance.

There are filters with a 100 mm mesh size in
the pneumatic connections for supply and
output which can be removed and cleaned,
if required.
The maintenance instructions of any upstream supply air pressure reducing stations
must be observed.
Servicing explosion-protected
devices
If a part of the device on which the explosion protection is based needs to be serviced, the device must not be put back into
operation until a qualified inspector has assessed it according to explosion protection
requirements, has issued an inspection certificate or given the device a mark of conformity.
Inspection by a qualified inspector is not required if the manufacturer performs a routine test on the device prior to putting it back
into operation. The passing of the routine
test must be documented by attaching a
mark of conformity to the device. Replace
explosion-protected components only by
original, routine-tested components from the
manufacturer.
Devices that have already been operated
outside hazardous areas and are intended
for future use inside hazardous areas must
comply with the safety requirements placed
on serviced devices. Before being used inside hazardous areas, test the devices according to the specifications for servicing
explosion-protected devices.
