or complex type actuators whose stem is rotated 90°. Series 275 p ­ositioners consist of the following components:

1. Series 275 main body

2. Fork lever and lever spring to attach on actuator

3. 1 bracket

4. Four hex bolts M8x1.25P

5. Four M8 plate washers

1. Typical actuator stem heights (H) are 0.79, 1.18 and 1.97 inches (20,
30, and 50 mm). After checking H, assemble brackets following
previous guidelines. The bracket is set at 0.79˝ (20 mm) in the
factory.

2. Attach bracket to the actuator using hex bolts. The diameter of the
bracket bolt holes are 0.24˝ (6 mm). Use spring washers or thread
lock compound so the bolts will not be loosened by vibration or
impact. The direction of the bracket varies by operating conditions,
but the normal direction is depicted in the following picture. That is,
when the piping of actuator and Series 275 is as shown in direction
A, the bracket hole and indicator attached on the bottom of the Series
275 main shaft should be mounted in the same direction.

Series 275 installation example of Namur shaft

Installing Series 275 with bracket

Series 275 is supplied with a standard bracket. The bracket consists of
two parts and is used with a NAMUR shaft. The bracket is assembled in
the factory based on 0.79˝ (20 mm) of actuator stem height. If the
actuator stem height is higher, such as 1.18˝ (30 mm), or 1.97˝ (50 mm),
reassemble the bracket adjusting to the actuator stem height. Refer to
the table below to check hole positions.

3. Set the rotation position of actuator stem as the initial zero point,
which is 0% stroke. For a spring return type actuator, the actuator
stem is always rotated to the zero point without supply pressure,
making it easy to check the zero point. If the actuator is double­acting, check whether the rotation direction of the actuator is
clockwise or counter-clockwise or check the rotation direction of the
actuator using supply pressure.

4. Set the actuator stem as the initial zero point and install a fork lever
as shown in the following picture. Confirm the position of initial zero
point when actuator stem is turned clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Installation angle of fork lever should be about 45 degrees based on
the linear shaft. But the angle is not related to NAMUR shaft.

Ex) If H is 30 mm, A-L should be locked in H:30 hole, B-L in H:20,30, A-

R in H:30, and B-R in H:20,30 with bolts.

of the fork lever by turning clockwise. Set the upper height of the fork
lever to 0.24 to 0.43”(6 to 11 mm) lower than the upper height of the
bracket.

6. Attach Series 275 unit to the bracket. Fix the clamping pin on the
main shaft center of the Series 275 into the hole of the fork lever.
Insert the connection bar attached on the main shaft lever into the
fork lever slot to be locked by the fork lever spring. This is to fit the
main shaft of the Series 275 to the center of the actuator stem. If they
are not fitted correctly, too much force on the main shaft will greatly
reduce product durability.

7. Attach Series 275 base and the bracket with hex bolts and plate
washers. It is best to lock the bracket and Series 275 together by
inserting four bolts after checking the position.

Single Acting Actuator

To operate a single acting actuator, connect OUT1 port to actuator
supply pressure port. Close off the OUT2 port with the supplied 1/4˝
NPT plug.

Piping connection example of Series 275 with single acting actuator

Double Acting Actuator

For the Series 275 double acting type, OUT1 and OUT2 ports are used.

PIPING CONNECTION
Note:

1. To prevent ingress of moisture, oil and dust, give careful
consideration to the choice of supply pressure compressor and
piping.

2. It is recommended to attach filter or air filter regulator in front of the
supply port of the Series 275 unit.

Conditions of Supply Pressure

1. Dry air with a dew point that is at least 50°F (10°C) lower than that of
the ambient temperature.

2. Free from solid particles. Result of being passed through 5 micron or
finer filter.

3. Does not contain oil or lubricating oil.

4. Comply with ANSI/ISA-57.3 1975(R1981) or ISA S7.3-1975(R1981).

5. Not used beyond the range of 20 to 100 psi (140 to 689 kPa).

6. Set supply pressure of air filter regulator to 10% higher than
operating pressure of actuator.

Conditions of Pipe

1. Remove foreign objects from inside of pipe.

2. Do not use squeezed or broken pipe.

3. To maintain flow rate of Series 275, use a pipe with inner diameter
greater than 0.24˝ (6 mm) (outer diameter 0.39˝ (10 mm)).

P

Power Connection
Note:

1. Before connecting terminal, power must be shut off.

2. Use ring type terminal against oscillation, impact, etc.

3. Series 275 positioners use 4 to 20 mA DC for power. Minimum
supply current is 3.2 mA (standard type) and 3.8 mA (HART®type).
Maximum supply current must not exceed 24 mA.

4. In order to protect the Smart Positioner, the ground terminals should
be grounded.

5. Use twisted cable with conductor sectional area at least 0.0019 in
(1.25 mm2), and suitable for 600V as on conductor table of NEC
Article 310. Outer diameter of cable should be 0.25 to 0.39˝ (6.35 to
10 mm). Use shielded wire against electromagnetic waves and
noise.

6. Do not install the cable near equipment such as a high-capacity
transformer or motor.

Terminal Connection of Feedback Signal

1. Open cover by loosening the four screws on the positioner cover.

2. Loosen terminal locking bolts of feedback signal terminals.

A/M Switch (Auto/Manual switch)

The A/M switch is located on the bottom of the Series 275 positioners.

When set to auto, supply pressure is transmitted to actuator by the
operation of the positioner. When set to manual, supply pressure of
air filter regulator is transmitted to actuator regardless of positioner.

* When A/M switch is set to manual, make sure that supply pressure

range is not exceeded.

1. Make sure supply pressure is within range.

2. Turn switch clockwise and supply pressure of air filter regulator is
transmitted to actuator.

3. Turn switch counter-clockwise to operate positioner manually.

Variable Orifice

Hunting can occur if the actuator volume is too small. In this case, adjust
the variable orifice using a (-) flathead screwdriver. Hunting is prevented
by reducing the flow rate of supply pressure transmitted to actuator.

First Auto Calibration

First auto calibration is usually used when the positioner has not been
set, such as the initial setting with valve at the valve company or
replacement with other product in the field.

Notice: When the positioner is installed on the valve in the field after
setting, we recommend using AUTO1 calibration rather than AUTO2
calibration. This is because the AUTO 2 calibration parameters have
been factory set to the optimum settings.

KP

This is a proportion constant value that is correction by error %. If this

value is too big, there can be hunting, even though it finds position by the

input signal. If the value is too small, accuracy gets worse.

KI

This is an integral constant value adding or subtracting the correction

that is corrected error % on the previous correction signal. If this value

is too big, there can be oscillation. If it is too small, the time to find the

exact position increases.

KD

This is a differential constant value adding the previous correction signal

with the changing correction signal by the error % change rate.

RA/DA

Direct acting (DA) or Reverse acting (RA).

Auto Calibration Types
Auto 1 Calibration (AUTO1)

In this mode, all parameters necessary for valve operation are set except
KP, KI, KD. It is used to re-execute calibration by users in the field after
being supplied the postitioner unit whose parameters were set by the
valve company.

1. Push <ENTER> for 6 seconds in RUN mode and AUTO CAL

message should appear.

2. Push <ENTER> and then AUTO1 mode is displayed.

3. Push <ENTER> again at AUTO1 mode and Auto 1 calibration is started.

4. When Auto 1 calibration is done, ‘COMPLETE’ message appears on

the LCD. After 4 seconds the procedure returns to RUN mode and
the valve stroke by current input signal is displayed as a percentage.

(1) Keep pushing
<ENTER> for 6 seconds.

(5) Completed.

Auto 2 Calibration (AUTO2)

All parameters necessary to operate valve are set. This calibration is
used when the positioner is first installed with valve. Refer back to First
Auto Calibration.

Auto 3 Calibration (AUTO3)

All parameters necessary to operate valve are set except zero and end
point. This function is used to re-execute auto calibration without
changing the zero and end point after adjusting them manually.

1. Push <DOWN> at AUTO2 and AUTO3 is displayed.

2. Push <ENTER> and AUTO3 calibration is started. The remaining
procedures of this calibration are the same as other calibrations.

BIAS Calibration

BIAS is the standard value of motor control in the positioner. It is affected
by supply pressure, KP and other values. BIAS should be re-adjusted if
supply pressure or KP is changed, otherwise accuracy will decrease.

1. Press and hold <ENTER> for 6 seconds in RUN mode and AUTO
CAL message should appear.

2. Scroll with <DOWN> button until BIAS mode is displayed.

3. Push <ENTER> and BIAS calibration is started.

4. When BIAS calibration is done, ‘COMPLETE” message appears on
the LCD. After 4 seconds the procedure is returned to RUN mode.

Velocity Calibration (V_0)

This function is used to find the standard value to recognize accurate
valve speed. This value must be correct for KI control to work properly.
To check if velocity value is correct:

1. Push <ESC> button at RUN mode and RUN Vel is displayed.

2. Check the number on the bottom of the screen. Normally, the value

will be between -2 and 2.

3. If value is greater than 5, V_0 calibration is required.

To calibrate V_0:

1. Press and hold <ENTER> for 6 seconds in RUN mode until AUTO

CAL message is displayed.

2. Scroll with <DOWN> button until V_0 mode is displayed.

3. Push <ENTER> and calibration is started.

4. When V_0 calibration is done, ‘COMPLETE’ message appears on the

LCD. After 4 seconds the procedure is returned to RUN mode.

Manual Mode

Manual mode is used to raise or lower the valve stem manually. In this
mode, the valve stroke is adjusted only by operating buttons, not by the
current input signal. This mode does not affect controlling data
registered in the positioner. It only is used to move the valve stem up
and down.

1. Push <ENTER> at RUN mode until AUTO CAL message is

displayed.

2. Push <DOWN> and MANUAL mode is displayed.

3. Push <ENTER> again. Two lines appear on LCD. The upper line

indicates valve stroke by percentage and the lower line indicates
absolute value of inner resistance of the positioner. *MA means that
Manual mode is in operation.

4. Push <UP> or <DOWN> and valve stem moves up or down.

Regardless of RA/DA, if <UP> is pushed, valve stem moves up (in
case of linear valve). If <DOWN> is pushed, valve stem moves down.

Parameter Mode (PARAM)
Parameter types

There are four types in Parameter mode: Dead Zone, KP, KI, and KD.

These values are reflected as soon as they are changed, therefore the

appropriate values are found by checking the valve’s motion in real time.

Dead Zone (dEAdZONE)

This is the range of error % that the positioner is not adjusted. Hunting
or oscillation due to friction between the stem and packing is prevented
by this parameter.

KP

This is a proportion constant value that is correcting by error %. If this
value is too big, there can be hunting, even though it finds position by the
input signal. If the value is too small, accuracy gets worse.

KI

This is an integral constant value adding or subtracting the correction
that is corrected error % on the previous correction signal. If this value
is too big, there can be oscillation. If it is too small, the time to find the
exact position increases.
