Controls the motor and end of stroke

sensors.
Moves the transmission system.
The step motor used, with integrated
drive, allows to reduce the dimension
and complexity of the electronic card
and improves the dynamic response of
the valve.
The timing belt transfers the rotating
movement to the screw. The timing
belt is maintenance free.
The screw converts the rotating
movement of the step motor to a linear
movement.
The springs placed in the junction
between the valve and the stem allow
to apply a force to ensure the perfect
closing of the valve.
Is important to verify the compression
of the springs to adjust the closing of
the valve without overcome the
maximum torque calculated for the
motor and transmission (see the note in
page n.3).

Electrical connections
Remove the cover of the valve to access to the
control board.
In the bottom of the board there are two
connectors with two different cables.

Calibration procedure
The calibration procedure is necessary to give the Maximum Stroke and Zero to the positioner.
The Zero point corresponds to a reference signal of 4 mA, the Maximum Stroke signal corresponds to a reference
signal of 20 mA.

8.

Set the switch 4 (Direct/Reverse) in the right position (see above).

Set the switches 1,6,7,8 in OFF position.
Switch on the power supply to the valve.
Delete any previous calibration of the valve restoring the factory
conditions: to do that set the switch 2 in ON position for 1 Sec.
Set ON the switch 1 in the control board.
Put the valve in the right zero position, (corresponding to an input
signal of 4 mA) with the pushbuttons UP and DOWN, paying
attention to the spring compression1 (see picture).
If the spring is too compressed is possible that the motor looses the
step; in this case bring again the Switch 1 in OFF position and repeat
the procedure from point n. 4.
Store in the eeprom memory the zero position setting ON and then OFF the switch 2 in the control board (the red
dot of the display will switch on to confirm the storage of the calibration).
Calibration of maximum opening position.

9.

Put the valve in the maximum opening position, 40 mm from the full close position, (corresponding to an input
signal of 20 mA) with the pushbuttons UP and DOWN.
10. If the physical maximum opening position is overcomed is possible that the motor looses the step; in this case bring
again the Switch 1 in OFF position and repeat the procedure from point n. 4.
11. Store in the EEprom memory the zero position setting ON and then OFF the switch 3 in the control board.
12. Set OFF the switch 1 to leave the learning mode and set ON the switch 6 to enter in automatic mode.
Check of calibration.
At the end of calibration procedure we recommend to check the calibration of the valve and the compression1 of the
spring opening and closing the valve from the PC maintenance screen; if its no good repeat the calibration.

1 The valve is close correctly when, in the zero position, the spring is compressed about 0.5mm. Is very important to pay attention to
the spring compression during the zero position calibration, because overcoming the maximum torque is possible to damage the
transmission system and the belt of the valve; in the other hand a spring compression too low may not ensure the correct closure of
the valve.
