Description of Device
Moniteur's Series 40 pneumatic (3-15psi) and electropneumatic (4-20mA) positioners are advanced control
devices for rotary or linear valves which provide
unparalleled stability in difficult environments.
! Rugged Aluminum Housing With a Triple Corrosion-
Resistant Interior and Exterior Coating stands up to
harsh environments
! Reduced Bleed Pilot Valve reduces air consumption by
more than 50%
! Precise Calibration with simple SPAN and ZERO
adjustments.
! Magnetic 4-20 mA I/P Converter provides automatic
compensation for supply pressure, atmospheric
pressure and ambient temperature changes, and is
unaffected by EMF.
! Zero-Hysteresis Coupling System provides superior
accuracy and repeatability by eliminating "slop".
! Vibration Resistant Design maintains consistent
performance in poor conditions - no resonance effects
from 5 - 200Hz
! Stainless Steel Gauges
Series 40 Positioners
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of ignition of
hazardous atmospheres, disconnect the
device from the supply circuit before
opening. Keep assembly tightly closed
during operation.
Positioning
Moniteur Series 40 positioners can be mounted in any
position.
Mounting Brackets
For the installation of the rotary positioner, a mounting
bracket has been designed for actuators with the 80 x
30 mm NAMUR accessory pattern. For the 130 x 30
pattern, the block-type mounting bracket is available.
See diagrams below:

! Optional Limit Switches and 4-20mA Feedback
! Each Positoner Performance Tested - Test results are
included with each positioner

OUT 1
As the signal current from the controller
increases, the plate spring of the torque
motor works as a pivot. As the armature
receives the rotary torque in the counter-
OUT 2
clockwise direction, the counter-weight
is pushed to the left, the clearance
between the nozzle and the flapper will
increase, and the nozzle back pressure
will decrease. As a result, the exhaust
valve of the pilot valve moves to the
right, and the output pressure of OUT1
increases (as OUT 2 decreases) to
move the actuator.
The movement of the actuator in turn
rotates the feedback shaft and spring.
The actuator stays in the position where
the spring force is balanced with the
force generated by the input current in
the torque motor. The compensation
spring is for direct feedback of the
Actuator
motion of the exhaust valve, and is
connected to the counter weight to
enhance the stability of the loop. The
zero point is adjusted by changing the
zero adjustment spring tension.
