Electronic position indicator RI21
4.0 Description
4.1 Scope of application
The electronic position indicator RI21 is used for converting electrical resistances of up to
1000 to electrical signals.
The electronic position indicator RI21 is suitable for installation in switch cabinets as well as
in the actuator ARI-Premio or in actuators ARI CS25 through CS27.
Electronic position indicators installed in an actuator serve to indicate exact positioning.
The ambient conditions have to be conform to the actual electromagnetic compatibility
directives. Additional the compatibility to this directives has to be maintained in case of
expansion or other changings of the ambient conditions.
4.2 Operating principle
The Ready Status on the electronic position indicator is indicated by a yellow LED.
The positioning signal is selected by means of the slide switch SY.
Matching of the resistance input and positioning signal output is ef
potentiometers.
The positioning signal outputs Yu and Yi are dependent on set resistance value of the
connected potentiometer.
The control section is (electrically) DC-decoupled from the mains input.
fected via trimming
ATTENTION !
For use on a three-wire system, the ground input may only be connected up to
the N contact of the mains input on the 24V AC version.
The new contact is referred to as zero potential (0V)

- The thrust actuator should only be operated for short periods without a hood
when carrying out essential adjustments to potentiometers, directional switches
and electrical options. During such activities the thrust actuator has hazardous
live, bare parts as well as moving and rotating parts.
- Careless or unprofessional adjustments can lead to death, serious physical
injury or substantial damage to property.
- Operating the thrust actuator without a hood is prohibited for any purpose other
than that described above.
- Electronics must be moisture-free.
Before starting up a new system or restarting a system following repair or modification
check:
- that regional safety instructions have been complied with as a matter of principle
- that the data on power supply
with the technical data on the electronics.
- that all work has been properly completed!
, actuating signal and ambient temperature are consistent
ATTENTION !
- The adjustment to the RI21 can only be performed when the actuator is
mounted onto a valve.
- Observe the order of the settings:
1. Potentiometer (refer to 6.2)
2. Type of control signal (refer to 6.3)
3. Zero point (refer to 6.4)
4. Slope span (refer to 6.5)
- In case of subsequent changes to a setting, the following settings must be
readjusted!
- Example:
If the type of control signal (point 2) is changed, the zero point (point 3) and the
slope span (point 4) must be readjusted.
The hood must be installed after completing the adjustments!

6.1 Factory setting
Upon delivery of the RI21 with a cpl. control device (valve and actuator), the potentiometer
and the RI21 are adjusted by factory to it’s valve travel. The factory setting is indicated with
a waterproof marker or a sticker on the nameplate.
If the order was given without indication of a special control signal, the default is 4-20mA.
4mA for a closed valve.
6.2 Setting of potentiometer
a) To adjust the potentiometer in the actuator, the operating instructions of the
corresponding actuator have to be observed.
b) Switch-off mains voltage and secure against unintentional reconnection.
c) Turn the potentiometer to 0 Ohm position.
- At PREMIO-actuator turn the potentiometer spindle counter-clockwise until it stops
(0
Ohm position).
- For inspection, the resistance of the potentiometer must be measured with an
ohmmeter.
For resistance measurement disconnect the potentiometer from the RI21 position
indicator.
First measurement contact ................RB - grey cable...... - PREMIO terminal 26 (29)
Second measurement contact ...........RC - red cable........ - PREMIO terminal 25 (28)
With completely extended actuator spindle, it must be approx. 0 Ohm between the first
and second measuring contact.
d) Turn thrust actuator with manual handwheel into cpl. retracted position and read the
corresponding resistance value at the Ohmmeter.
- With cpl. retracted actuator stem, 750th .. 1100 Ohm must lie between the first and
second measuring contact.
e) Connect the potentiometer with the RI21 positioner again
f) Connect potentiometer acc. to Fig. 11 : Effective direction (only RI21!)
- For the effective direction INV (refer to Fig. 11), the cables RA and RC have to be
changed at terminal X16:
- red cable to terminal RA
- yellow cable to terminal RC
- For the effective direction NORM (refer to Fig. 11), the cables RA and RC at terminal
X16 have to be connected as following:
- yellow cable to terminal RA
- red cable to terminal RC
- Check and correct if necessary.
