6.1Function
▪ The signal box 827S is used for the feedback of up to 3 freely ad-
justable valve positions (positions of the actuator) to the control system. The stroke or rotary movement of the actuator is transmitted to
a shaft by the stroke or rotary angle sensor. This rotary movement is
transmitted directly to an immersion disc. The movement of the immersion disc into or out of the respective slot-type initiator generates
the corresponding electrical signal.
▪ The slot-type initiators can be arranged in arbitrary positions around
this immersion disc and adjusted so that almost any desired switching position is representable for the slot-type initiator.
6.2Construction
This section describes the mechanical and electrical construction, the
device components and the principles of the operation of the signal box.
The signal box is used to signal the positions (usually the end positions)
of:
▪ linear actuators or
▪ rotary actuators VDI/VDE 3845
Linear actuators may be mounted in a number of ways.
▪ NAMUR or IEC 60534
▪ integrated mounting (ARCA, SAMSON)
The signal box can be mounted and operated on all normal actuators.
The device is available for single-acting and double-acting actuators as
well as for potentially explosive and non-potentially explosive applications.

9Commissioning
WARNING
Improper commissioning in potentially explosive areas
Failure of device or risk of explosion in potentially explosive areas
► Do not put the device into operation until it is completely assembled
and connected.
► Consider the effects on other devices in the plant before commis-
sioning.
WARNING
Loss of the explosion protection
Risk of explosion in potentially explosive areas due to open or improperly closed device.
WARNING
Opening the device when live
Risk of explosion in potentially explosive areas
► Open the device only when it is switched off.
► Before commissioning, check that the cover, the cover fastenings
and the cable glands have been fitted properly.
ð Exceptions: devices of the ignition protection class Intrinsic
Safety "Ex i" may also be opened in a potentially explosive area
when switched on.
ATTENTION
The device protection class becoming null and void
Damage to the device due to open or improperly closed housing. The
protection class specified on the nameplate is no longer guaranteed.
▪ Make sure that the device is securely closed.
9.1Commissioning
▪ Mount the signal box with the appropriate mounting kit.
▪ The limit contacts are normally adjusted so that a signal is present in
each of the end positions (open/closed). Both vanes can be infinitely
rotated so that intermediate positions can also be signalled.
In addition, the third limit value transmitter (with 827S.E3* version)
can be used for signalling an intermediate position.
▪ To ensure reliable switching, the switching point should be set ap-
prox. 2% before the mechanical stop (open/closed). We recommend
the valve position "closed" for the limit value transmitter "A" and the
valve position "open" for the limit value transmitter "B", whose setting
is described below for a normally closed valve.
1. Loosen the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "A"
2. Position the limit value transmitter "A" (30) in the centre of the slot
3. Tighten the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "A"

4. Loosen the screw of the vane (60)
5. Coarse adjustment of the vane (80) with input signal 0% (valve position "closed")
6. Tighten the screw (60)
7. Apply a 100% input signal
8. Loosen the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "B"
9. Coarse adjustment of the limit value transmitter "B" with input signal
100% (valve position "open"). It may be necessary to position the
screw (40) and the spacer sleeve (120) in a different threaded hole in
the base plate (130).
10. Tighten the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "B"
11. Apply a 2% input signal
12. Loosen the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "A"
13. Adjust vane "A" so that a signal is present at the limit value transmitter "A".
14. Tighten the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "A"
15. Apply a 98% input signal
16. Loosen the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "B"
17. Adjust the vane so that a signal is present at the limit value transmitter "B".
18. Tighten the screw (40) on the limit value transmitter "B"
19. If a third limit value transmitter (with version 827S.E3*) is present,
steps 8 – 10 and 15 – 18 are to be carried out analogously for the
desired switching position.
20. By opening and closing the actuator, ensure that each limit value
transmitter switches reliably in the desired position in both directions.
