For linear valves, mount all hardware as shown in Figure 1.
To determine which holes on the mounting bracket to use, refer to Figures 2 & 3
and Table 2 or follow these steps:
1 Set the actuator at half travel.
2 Align the feedback loop (Key 5) and feedback arm (Key 4) so that they are
both horizontal, as shown in Figure 1.
3 The feedback loop (Key 5) should be compressing the spring on the feedback
arm assembly (Key 4) anywhere between 1/4” and 1/2”.
NOTE: In order to achieve proper spring compression it may be necessary to
fl ip the mounting bracket - connecting block (Key 2).
4 Depending on the actuator type, size, and travel, a different combination of
holes on the mounting bracket will have to be used for each application. The
top 5 rows of holes are used to mount to the actuator. The bottom 4 rows are
used to mount to the positioner. Choose the combination that best allows the
feedback arm (Key 4), and the feedback loop (Key 5) to be horizontal and
parallel at half travel.
5 Once this arrangement is set, tighten all the fasteners.
6 Follow start-up as described in this handbook or in the Chapter on
“Commissioning” of the Siemens SIPART PS2 Operating Instructions (Latest
Edition).

BEFORE CONNECTING THE ACTUATOR AND VALVE STEM:
1 Attach the sliding pin assembly (Keys 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7) to the connecting
block bracket (Key 1), refer to Figure 4B for assembly details. Center the
sliding pin assembly in the connecting block pin slot as shown in Figure 4A.
Hand tighten the hex nut (Key 7).
2 Using lock washers (Key 9) and cap screws (Key 10), mount the yoke bracket
(Key 8) to the Siemens PS2 Positioner as shown in Figure 4C. NOTE: Travel
markings are engraved on the front of the yoke bracket. Travel markings
should be visible when mounting the PS2 to the actuator yoke, as such when
looking at the cover of the PS2 housing you should be able to see the travel
markings.
3 Connect the feedback arm assembly (Key 11) on to the shaft of the PS2
positioner using the socket set screw (Key 12). Refer to Figure 4D.
SIEMENS PS2 LINEAR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate valve and actuator instruction manuals for actuator
mounting instructions. These instructions assume that the actuator has already
been mounted to the valve but that the connecting block has yet to be installed.
The threads of the valve and actuator stems should each engage the threads of
the connecting block (Key 16) by a distance equal to that of the diameter of the
corresponding stem or greater.
1 Set the actuator to the upper bench set. Move the valve stem the required
travel, the valve stem should engage the actuator stem.
2 Place the connecting block on to the valve/actuator stems and align the
connecting block (Key 16) with the window of the actuator yoke. NOTE: The
connecting block should be parallel with the lower mounting pad of the
actuator yoke. Refer to Figure 5A.
18), and cap screws (Key 17) as shown in Figure 5B. NOTE: The cap screws
(Key 17) should be centered in the connecting block mounting bracket. The
sliding pin assembly and sliding pin slot of the connecting block bracket should
be on the right hand side of the actuator. Refer to Table 3 for actuator sizes
that require connecting block spacers (Key 19).
SIEMENS PS2 LINEAR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued):
3 Determine the required travel for your valve assembly and locate the
corresponding mounting holes on the yoke bracket (Key 8), refer to Figure
4C for example. Attach the yoke bracket/PS2 positioner assembly to the lower
mounting pad of the actuator yoke with lock washers (Key 14), cap screws
(Key 13), and spacers (Key 15) if required (refer to Table 1 to determine if
spacers are required). NOTE: Before tightening the mounting cap screws,
ensure that the sliding pin assembly is aligned in the feedback arm slot as
shown in Figure 5B.
4 Adjust the hex nut (Key 7) on the sliding pin assembly to achieve 1/16” to
1/4” compression on the spring (Key 4), refer to Figure 5B.
5 Set the actuator to 50% travel, the feedback arm (Key 11) should be
horizontal. If the feedback arm is not horizontal, adjust the connecting block
bracket (Key 1) up or down as necessary.
6 Place the actuator in the fully open or closed position. Adjust the sliding pin
assembly left or right in the pin slot of the connecting bracket (Key 1) to
achieve the correct angle of travel:
For 3/4” & 1-1/8” Travel: The feedback arm (Key 11) should be at 33
shown in Figure 6. Adjust the sliding pin assembly until the center of the
feedback arm slot aligns with the 3/16” hole of the yoke bracket (Key 8).
For 1-1/2” to 4” Travel: The feedback arm (Key 11) should be at 45O as
shown in Figure 6. Adjust the sliding pin assembly until the center of the
feedback arm slot aligns with the hex nuts (Key 10) in the mounting yoke
bracket (Key 8) where it connects to the PS2.
7 Follow the START-UP instructions described in this handbook or in the Chapter
on “Commissioning” of the Siemens SIPART PS2 from the Operating
Instructions (Latest Edition).
