Connecting the positioner
(applies only to the EULC with pneumatic control)
Use a 6 mm o.d./4 mm i.d. plastic hose to connect the
positioner as shown in Fig. 14. For particulars of the con-
trol pressure, see the adjacent table. NOTE that only air
of instrument quality may be connected to the positioner.
Air of instrument quality contains particles no larger
than 10 mm and has a dew point of -20°C or below. The
position is preset at the factory so that the blade angle
will be a minimum at a signal pressure of 21 kPa (3 psi)
and a maximum at 105 kPa (15 psi).

Adjusting the positioner
1. Set the signal pressure at tapping A to 21 kPa (3 psi).
2. Adjust zeroing screw D so that when the blades are at
minimum angle, they will start to open at 21 kPa (3
psi) when the signal pressure is increasing.
3. Set the signal pressure at tapping A to 105 kPa (15
psi).
4. Adjust stroke factor screw E so that when the blades
are at maximum angle, they will start to close at 105
kPa (15 spi) when the signal pressure is falling.
Note the following when adjusting the positioner:
a) Follow the instructions in points 2 and 4 above when
the fan is running.
b) The distance between the stroke factor segment and
the stop pad must be 2 mm, measured with the blades
set to the minimum angle.
Caution: The segment must not come into contact
with the stop pad. The positioner may otherwise be
damaged.
c) The travel of the positioner feedback arm should be
symmetrical about the vertical line between the maxi-
mum and minimum angle settings.
d) The feedback cable must run correctly across the guide
pulleys.
Amplification and damping
The positioner includes adjusting screws for the amplifi-
cation and damping. The response of the positioner to a
certain change in signal pressure can be adjusted by
means of the amplification screw. The damping screw is
used to adjust the output pressure of the positioner and
thus the response speed of the actuator. The amplifica-
tion and damping are preset at the factory and need not
normally be adjusted. If adjustment is carried out, the
zero point and stroke factor must also be re-adjusted.
Functional check
Check the operation of the positioner as follows:
1. Disconnect the hose from connection B.
2. Remove the positioner cover.
3. Make sure that there is actuating pressure at connec-
tion C.
4. Move the flapper between the nozzles in a downward
direction, and air should then flow from connection B.
5. Move the flapper in the opposite direction, and the air
flow should then cease.
