P5
The base unit of the system is the pneumatic positioner, used in either single or double acting
applications. P5 comes standard with a high gain spool valve assembly, gauge ports and an O-ring
sealed housing.
The modular design concept allows for easy addition of accessories such as I/P converter and/or a
feedback package, both which are isolated from the basic pneumatic unit. These accessories can be
factory or field mounted.
Ease of calibration and maintenance are built into to the design with easily accessible span and zero
adjustment, and very simple parts replacement.
EP5
The EP5 has same features and benefits as the P5 positioner. It’s modular to suit several
applications, General applications, intrinsically safe, explosion proof and fail freeze versions are

2. Storage instructions
PMV Positioner and feedback module storage and handling procedures
PMV Positioners and feedback modules are precision instruments which should be stored and
handled accordingly to avoid problems or damage.
Electro-pneumatic positioners/feedback modules contain electronic components which can be
damaged by exposure to water. Appropriate precautions should be taken to protect units while in
storage.
Warehouse storage
Stored in original PMV shipping containers, units should be stored in an environmentally controlled
area, i.e. clean, cool (15-26°C, 60-80°F) and dry, out of direct sunlight or weather exposure.
Field storage
Note: Once the air supply to the positioner is connected and turned on, internal air bleed will
prevent the ingress of moisture and protect the unit from corrosion. It is recommended that the air
supply be left on at all times.
• If units are installed immediately, turn, and leave on, the air supply.
• If positioners must be stored outdoors, tighten all covers which may have loosened in shipment,
make sure all open enclosure entry points are sealed.
Feedback modules should have cover tightened and conduits entries sealed. Positioners/Feedback
modules should be wrapped and sealed air and watertight with desiccant inside the plastic, units
should be securely covered with an opaque cover and not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow.
Pneumatic positioners
Units should have all ports sealed and be protected from direct exposure to weather.
For long term storage (>1 month) or overseas shipment units should be protected with plastic and
desiccant.
Potential damage mechanism
When units are stored in hot, humid climates, the daily heating/cooling cycle will cause air to
expand/contract and be drawn in and out of the positioner/feedback housing.
Dependent on the local temperature variations, humidity and dew points and time in storage
condensation could occur and accumulate inside on the I/P Converter causing erratic operation
or failure due to water and corrosion. The potential for condensation damage is especially high in
southern climates and aggravated if units are exposed to direct sunlight.
For further assistance, please contact you nearest PMV ofce.

Storage Seal (P5/EP5)
P5/EP5 is supplied with all enclosure entry points sealed. The seal is only a storage seal, not to be
used as seal when P5/EP5 is in operation. If Storage Seal is removed or damaged, make sure all
open enclosure entry points are proper resealed before further shipping or storage.
Use circular stickers marked I, S and OUT, supplied on Storage Seal or vapour proof tape.
P5
Remove Storage Seal from connection block, mount positioner on actuator/valve, make
connections according to section 5, (Page 10). Calibrate span and Zero according to section 7,
(Page 13).
Clean any oil/debris off the connecting block, then reseal open enclosure entry ports, use circular
stickers marked I, S and OUT, supplied on Storage Seal or vapour proof tape.

3. Function
The P4 and P5/EP5 operates on a force balance principal. Force is originated by the signal pressure
transmitted through a diaphragm on to the balance arm. The opposing force is achieved through the
feedback spring and is proportional to the position of the lower arm.
The lower arm position is determined by the position of the cam which is secured to the spindle and
connected to the actuator shaft thus providing the feedback from the actuator/valve. When these
two forces are equal, the balance arm and the spool in the pilot valve are in a neutral position — the
complete unit is in a balanced position. Air is supplied to the pilot valve through port S, and controls
the air flow through ports C1 and C2
Assume an equilibrium position.
An increased control pressure will deflect the diaphragm 1 down, compressing the feedback spring
3. The balance arm 2 moves the spool 7 in the pilot valve 8 furnishing supply air to the actuator,
while at the same time air is exhausted from actuator and is vented to atmosphere through the
pilot valve and the OUT port . With the increased supply air, the actuator rotates (or moves linearly)
moving the positioner spindle 6. The spindle and cam 5 rotate, forcing the lower arm 4 upwards
compressing the feedback spring 3. This motion will continue until the two forces are equal and the
unit is in an equilibrium position.

4. Installation
Air requirements
Maximum supply pressure is 1 MPa (150 psi). Supply air shall be clean, dry and free from oil, water,
moisture, foreign parts and debris.
The air shall be freeze-dried or similar to a dew point of at least 10°C (18°F) below lowest expected
ambient temperature. The air shall comply with standard: DIN/ISO 8573-1-2001 3.2.3.
A <40μ filter/regulator is recommended to be installed as close to P4/P5/EP5 as possible to ensure
proper supply air quality.
Before making pneumatic connections to the positioner, it is recommended that the supply air lines
are opened up and allowed to vent for 2-3 minutes to clear any debris from the line. It is further
recommended that a large paper bag is used to collect any oil or humidity that may be present in
the line during this purging, direct the air flow into the bag. Should excessive amounts of oil and/or
humidity be present at this stage, a review of the pneumatic system should be carried out and the
problem corrected.
Poor air quality is one of the major causes of premature failure of pneumatic equipment.
Installation
P4 and P5/EP5 mounts on to the actuator using either the ISO F05 holes 4 and a PMV ISO mounting
kit or by using the optional mounting adaptor and screws 5 to mount P5 on to existing PMV
mounting kits.
Proper alignment of the positioner spindle to the actuator shaft is very important since improper
alignment can cause excessive wear and friction to the positioner.
P5/EP5 only
The spindle/positioner shaft assembly allows for quick and simple spindle changes. To ensure the
proper connection, the spindle 3 has a spring clip 2 that must be properly installed. A solid ”click”
should be felt when assembling the two pieces insuring that the two flats 1 are engaged into the
positioner shaft groove.
The spindle can be removed, by inserting two screwdrivers under the two tapered surfaces of the
spindle and bending carefully. When the spring clip releases the spindle will eject.

EP5 Electro Pneumatic Digital Positioner FCD PMENIM0006-00-A5 12/18
7. Calibration
P4/P5/EP5 is when shipped from PMV pre-calibrated for 90 ±0,5 deg rotation, (can also be 30, 45
or 60 deg, see installed cam). For most applications the valve closed position is more critical than
valve open position, most attention should be paid at valve closed position. Always start calibration
procedure by applying 0 % input signal, then adjusting zero. P4/P5/EP5 is calibrated by turning
thumb wheels 1 & 4.
Arrows on arm 5 indicate turning direction
of thumb wheels.
Check cam seating, section 6 before starting calibration
procedure.
1. Apply 0 % input signal (0% = 20 kPa/3 psi or 4 mA)
2. Wait for steady state.
3. Adjust zero by turning the silver (lower) thumb wheel
4 with finger or with screw- driver 7 from the outside.
4. Apply 100% input signal (100% = 100 kPa/ 15 psi or
20 mA)
5. Wait for steady state then memorize result.
6. Apply 0% input signal.
7. Adjust span if necessary. This is done by first loosing
screw 2, then turning the yellow (upper) thumb wheel1 “+“ or “–“ and finally tighten screw 2. Spring top
must not be in contact with spring guide 3.
8. Check zero and adjust if needed.
9. Repeat steps 2 to 8 until desired calibration is
achieved.

9. Front cover and indicator cover
The front cover of P5 is secured to the pneumatic unit with four captured screws and sealed with an
O-ring 1. The O-ring can be looped over notches 2 in the front cover to allow for drainage. There are
eight locations on the front cover where the O-ring can be looped. This O-ring system is common
to the Pneumatic unit , I/P unit and Feedback unit in the PMV Valve Control System P5. This unique
sealing system allows for complete sealing or draining of the units by changing the position of the
O-ring.
The indicator cover 3 is O-ring sealed and secured by a bayonet coupling. The indicator cover is
also used to secure the identification cover 4.
To remove the indicator cover turn it slightly counterclockwise until it loosens. Identification cover
and O-ring 5 are now removable.

Calibration Procedure APEX 7000:
1. Apply 0% input signal (0% = 20 kPa, 3 psi, or 4 mA).
2. Wait for steady state. It is important to wait for steady state. On very large actuators, it can take minutes to
establish.
3. Loosen locking screw A about 1 turn, if it is looser, you risk introducing unwanted movement.
4. Adjust “ZERO” position using thumbwheel B
5. Apply 100% input signal (100% = 100 kPa, 15 psi, or 20 mA).
6. Wait for steady state.
7. With a screw drive, adjust the “SPAN” setting by turning screw C, while doing so, keep the zero screw B in
position by applying pressure with your thumb.
8. Lock the calibration mechanism in place by tightening locking screw A
9. Apply 0% signal and verify zero position.
