2 REMOTE OPERATION
In the case of remote operation, the positioner has no position
sensor in the form of a rotary position sensor, but is connected to
an external position sensor. The 2.5 m long connection cable is
pre-assembled on the positioner.

DANGER!
Risk of injury from high pressure and discharge of medium.
▶ Before working on the device or system, switch o the pres-
sure. Vent or drain lines.
Risk of injury from electric shock.
▶ Before working on the device or system, switch o the power
supply. Secure against reactivation.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to incorrect assembly.
▶ Assembly may be carried out only by authorized specialist
personnel and using the appropriate tools.
Risk of injury due to unintentional switching on of the plant
and uncontrolled start-up.
▶ Secure system against unintentional activation.▶ Following assembly, ensure a controlled restart.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to heavy device.
A heavy device can fall down and cause injury during transport
or assembly work.
▶ Do not transport, install or remove a heavy device without the
aid of a second person.
▶ Use suitable auxiliary tools.

NOTE!
Improper assembly may damage the lip seal in the guide
element.
The lip seal is pre-mounted in the guide element and must be
"locked into position" in the undercut.
▶ When assembling the switch spindle, do not damage the lip
seal.
→ Slide switch spindle through guide element.→ To secure the switch spindle, apply a little screw locking paint
(Loctite 290) to the thread of the switch spindle.
→ Screw guide element into the actuator cover. Ensure that the
O-ring is positioned in the actuator cover.
→ Tighten guide element to 5Nm.→ Tighten switch spindle using a at-tip screwdriver, maximum
torque 1Nm.
2. Install sealing rings
→ Pull the form seal onto the actuator cover (smaller diameter
points upwards).
→ Check that the O-rings are correctly positioned in the pilot air
ports.
When the remote sensor is being installed, the collets of
the pilot air ports must not be tted to the actuator.

NOTE!
Observe tightening torque when attaching the position

If the fastening screws are tightened too tightly, the degree of
protection IP65 and IP 67 is no longer guaranteed.
▶ Tighten the fastening screws to a maximum tightening
torque of 1.5 Nm.
→ Attach position sensor to the actuator using the two side
fastening screws. Observe maximum tightening torque
of 1.5 Nm.

Length of the pilot air line:
The length of the pilot air line should be adjusted to the
actuator size. The dead space volume which occurs
due to the pilot air line may negatively aect the control
characteristics.
In principle, the following applies: the smaller the actuator,
the more sensitively the control system reacts to the
length of the pilot air line.
Procedure for single-actuating actuators, control function A
and B:
→ Connect working port 2 of the positioner Type 8635 via a
hose to port 1.
Working port 2, see "Fig. 1".
→ Fit exhaust air line or a silencer to port 31.
The applied supply pressure must be 0.5 to 1 bar greater than
the minimum control pressure specied on the control valve. This
ensures that the control behavior is not very negatively aected in
the upper stroke range due to too little pressure dierence.
During operation keep the uctuations of the supply pressure low
(max. ±10 %). If uctuations are greater, the control parameters
measured with the X.TUNE function are not optimal.
3.4 Electrical connection of the position
sensor
DANGER!
Danger due to electrical shock.
▶ Switch o the power supply and secure it against reactivation.
→ Feed the cable of the positioner (with at plug tted) through
the cable gland of the position sensor.
→ Connect the 3-pin at plug of the positioner to the coun-
terpart of the potentiometer.
