Calibration procedure
1. Position the actuator to mid-travel (valve at 50% Position).
2. Disconnect the potentiometer wiring harness from the PT20SD board
and measure the resistance from each End connection to the center
connection on the potentiometer.
3. To set the potentiometer to the correct resistance r eading, loosen the
setscrew that retains the spur gear on the potentiometer shaft and
rotate the shaft until a reading of 500(ohms) is acheived.
4. Tighten the setscrew and reconnect the wiring harness to the PT20SD.
5. Run the actuator fully CLOSED.
6. Calibrate ZERO position by adjusting the zero potentiometer until
a 4mA output signal is read at terminals +VE and -VE.
7. Run the actuator fully OPEN.
8. Calibrate SPAN position by adjusting the span potentiometer until
a 20mA output signal is read at terminals +VE and -VE.
9. Repeat steps 5 to 8 and fine-tune as necessary.
