Operating Instructions (English)
2.1 General
In addition to the instructions in this publication, the generally applicable safety and
accident prevention regulations must be observed.
If the information in this publication is insufficient in any way, our service organisation
will be happy to provide you with further information.
Before installation and start-up, please read through this publication carefully.
2.1.1
Installation
The positioner can be mounted to pneumatic control valves. („Top-Mounted").
DSR 500-1: Assembly to pneumatic valves for strokes from 3 to 28mm (DN15 – DN50).
DSR 500-2: Assembly to pneumatic valves for strokes up to 55mm (DN65 – DN150).
DSR 500-3: Assembly to pneumatic valves with rotary movement (Rotary actuators up to 90° ).
To ease mounting the valve various mounting kits are available which contain the required parts
to connect valve actuator and positioner, a feedback pin for sensing the valve stroke and an
optical valve position indicator if required.
As the adaptation of positioner to valve stroke is carried out automatically a standard mounting
kit is used, which can be adapted to the mechanical actuator requirements in case. All other
operation parameters (e.g. "split-range" operation) can be set through configuration software
which is supplied on request.
.
2.1.2
Intended use
The DSR 500 positioner is a control device to position pneumatically-controlled actuators. It is
supplied for installation on linear and swivel actuators in accordance with the instructions in this
operating manual.
The device must be used solely for the applications described in this operating manual and in
the data sheets. Any other application will be in breach of its intended use.
2.1.3
