Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Azbil Corporation Smart Valve Positioner 200/300 Series.
Smart Valve Positioner 200/300 Series (the devices) can be connected to a 4 to 20 mA
signal line. Since all adjustments can be performed electrically using Field Communica-
tion Software(Model CFS100), any desired relationship can be set between the input
signal and the position of the control valve. Split range and other special settings are
also easy to specify. This manual describes the use of the Smart Valve Positioner. Use
this manual to get the most from the features of the device.

Introduction
Warning
Do not perform wiring work, turn on the electricity, etc., when your hands are wet. There is a risk of
electric shock. Perform this work with the power supply turned off, and with dry or gloved hands.
When wiring in a hazardous area, work according to the methods prescribed by the guidelines for the
hazardous area.
For flameproof explosion-proof specifications, do not under any circumstances open the cover during
operation (when powered up).
Caution
After installing the device, do not place your body weight on it, use it as a scaffold, etc. There is a risk that
it could fall over.
Do not touch the device unnecessarily while it is in operation. Depending on the environment in which
the device is used, there is a danger that the surface of the device may be very hot or very cold.
When opening the cover of the terminal box, be careful of the edges of the cover, the threads of the
screws on the main unit, etc. There is a possibility of injury.
Use a DC power supply that has overload protection. An overload can cause the emission of smoke and
fire.
Bringing tools and the like into contact with the glass portion of the display can cause damage or injury.
Exercise sufficient caution. In addition, be sure to wear safety glasses.
As this product is extremely heavy, watch your footing, and be sure to wear safety shoes.
When the device is in operation, do not touch moving parts such as the feedback lever. Your hand may
become caught, resulting in injury.
Supply power correctly based on the specifications. An incorrect power input can damage the instru-
ment.
When working in a high-temperature or low-temperature environment, wear gloves and other protective
equipment.
Do not bring magnets or magnetic screwdrivers near the device. There is a possibility that the control
valve will move in response.

Chapter 1: Control System
Structure
This chapter describes the configuration of the control system used by this device.
1-1
1.1 System Configuration
This device is a smart valve positioner that can be connected to a 4 to 20 mA signal line
from the output of a controller. Since all adjustments can be performed electrically, any
desired relationship can be set between the input signal and the position of the control
valve. Split range and other special settings are also easy to specify. In addition, by using
a four-line connection, the device can transmit the control valve position to the host
monitoring system as either a 4 to 20 mA analog signal or as a DE digital signal. (Only
models AVP301 and AVP201 have travel transmission.)
An overview of the control valve control system used by this device is shown below.

Chapter 1: Control System Structure
This device (models AVP301 and AVP201) has the ability to transmit the position of
the control valve. The device’s travel transmission system offers two output formats,
depending on the purpose. There is a system that outputs an analog signal and a system
that outputs a digital signal.
Analog output
To output the position only to the host monitoring device using a analog values, set up
the analog output system. Normally, the range from the fully closed position to the fully
open position is output as a 4–20 mA range.
Digital output
To output the position along with a variety of device settings and self-diagnostic results
to the host monitoring device, set up the digital output system.
This figure shows the system structure of the device when the travel transmission func-
tion is not used.

This figure shows the structure of a system in which the position detected by the device,
the values of the device settings, and the results of self diagnostics are output in the DE
(Digital Enhancement) protocol for digital signal transmission.
In this system structure, the digital signals in the DE protocol transmitted from the de-
vice are output to a monitoring system that is capable of directly inputting these signals.

Caution
• If the device outputs the travel transmission output signal as a PV using the STIM
II, be sure to set the valve forced fully closed value (SHUT OFF) to −0.2 % or
greater so that the value of the process variable for the position signal STI point will
not be BadPV.

Chapter 2: Installation
Warning
Do not perform wiring work, turn on the electricity, etc., when your hands are wet.
There is a risk of electric shock. Perform this work with the power supply turned off,
and with dry or gloved hands.
When wiring in a hazardous area, work according to the methods prescribed by the
guidelines for the hazardous area.
For flameproof explosion-proof specifications, do not under any circumstances open the
cover during operation (when powered up).
Caution
After installing the device, do not place your body weight on it, use it as a scaffold, etc.
There is a risk that it could fall over.
Do not touch the device unnecessarily while it is in operation. Depending on the envi-
ronment in which the device is used, there is a danger that the surface of the device may
be very hot or very cold.
When opening the cover of the terminal box, be careful of the edges of the cover, the
threads of the screws on the main unit, etc. There is a possibility of injury.
Use a DC power supply that has overload protection. An overload can cause the emis-
sion of smoke and fire.
Bringing tools and the like into contact with the glass portion of the display can cause
damage or injury. Exercise sufficient caution. In addition, be sure to wear safety glasses.
As this product is extremely heavy, watch your footing, and be sure to wear safety shoes.
When the device is in operation, do not touch moving parts such as the feedback lever.
Your hand may become caught, resulting in injury.

other protective equipment.
Do not bring magnets or magnetic screwdrivers near the device. There is a possibility
that the control valve will move in response.
2-1
2.1 Installation Location Selection Criteria
This device has been designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, but for
maximum performance, select an installation location that conforms to the criteria.
Note
The vibration conditions for this device are prescribed in terms of the vibration at the
positioner.
Since this device employs a flapper nozzle structure in the electro-pneumatic module,
if the instrumentation air is dirty or contains oil, moisture, or the like, the operation of
the positioner could be impeded, or an unrecoverable failure could be caused. For this
reason, the quality of the instrumentation air to be supplied to the device is defined as
follows (taken from JIS C1805-1 [2001]):
• Solid matter: there must be no particles with a diameter that exceeds 3 μm.
• Oil: there must be less than 1 ppm in terms of mass
• Supply air humidity: dew point temperature must be at least 10 °C lower than tem-
perature of the body of the device
Follow the specifications stated above when selecting a compressor and a main-line type
or end-installation type compressed air cleaner (filtration device).
1) Compressed air cleaner for main lines
The specifications above can be satisfied by selecting a main line filter, micro-alescer,
or other compressed air cleaner for main lines produced by SMC Corporation or CKD
Corporation, which are well-known as manufacturers of compressed air cleaners.
2-2
Chapter 2: Installation
Note
Select compressed air cleaner specifications in accordance with the usage conditions.
Even if the oil mist removal equipment mentioned above is installed, appropriate in-
spections and maintenance of the pneumatic circuit are necessary for stable long-term
operation. Be sure to accompany the installation of oil mist removal equipment with
periodic inspections and maintenance.
Any failures of this device which are caused by unsatisfactory quality of the instrumen-
tation equipment air are not covered by the warranty.
2-3
2.2 Installation Method
Smart valve positioners are designed for use in combination with a control valve that
uses a linear or rotary actuator. The main unit weighs about 2.5 kg. It should be attached
in the same manner as a conventional electro-pneumatic positioner.
Caution
• During installation, be careful to avoid injury from edges on the main unit and
actuator, sharp edges on the threads of screws, etc. The type of mounting plate and
the mounting method and procedure differ depending of the type of actuator to
which the device is attached. If installation is not performed correctly, it will not be
possible to realize the potential performance of the device, and damage to or failure
of the device may result. Be careful of the following points.
• The mounting plate and accompanying accessories differ depending on the specifi-
cations (actuator type). Be sure to use those that are appropriate for the actuator to
be installed.
• When installing the control valve, leave as much space as possible around it, taking
ease of maintenance (piping, wiring, adjustment, etc.) into consideration.
• To the extent possible, transport the device to the installation location in its pack-
aged state.
• During installation, do not apply excessive force to the feedback lever.
• Do not bend the feedback pin.
• Tighten bolts securely.
• If the model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter is installed with the device, install
with the drain of the KZ03 facing downward. If the KZ03 cannot be attached verti-
cally (with the drain facing downward), remove it from the device.
• In order to avoid the possibility of rainwater entering the pressure gauge, install
the gauge such that it does not face upward or downward. In addition, the pressure
gauge has a rainwater drain on its underside, so install the gauge with this hole fac-
ing downward.

Installation procedure
The general installation procedure is shown below.
Step Procedure
1 Fasten the mounting plate securely to the rear of the positioner using the two hexagonal
bolts (M8×20) and spring washers provided.
2 Fasten the positioner (mounting plate) securely to the actuator's mounting structure using
the bolts and washers provided. During this operation, pass the actuator's feedback pin
through the slot in the positioner's feedback lever.
(3) The angle between the feedback lever and pin must be 90° when viewed from
above.
(4) The allowable rotation angle of the feedback lever is ±20° from the horizontal. If
±20° is exceeded, a major failure (VTD FAULT) will be detected by the self-diag-
nostics, and the device will not operate properly. (The minimum rotation angle for
guaranteed accuracy is ±4°.)

Chapter 2: Installation
(5) If attaching a rotary cylinder, attach it so that the rotary cylinder shaft comes be-
tween the feedback pin and the device.
Figure 2-5. Connection of Remote Type and Rotary Cylinder’s Feedback Pin and Feedback Lever
The method for supplying air to drive the actuator of this device will now be described.
2-7
Supply air
• The supply air must be clean, dry air without moisture, oil, contaminants, or for-
eign matter such as dust. In the air supply system, an aftercooler, air drier, filter,
and the like should be installed after the compressor. Exercise caution with regard
to, for example, the supply piping structure.
• Dry air refers to air which, at atmospheric pressure, has a dew point that is at least
10 °C lower than the lowest temperature in the environment in which the device is
actually used. (For example, if the lowest temperature where the device is used is
0 °C, use air with a dew point of −10 °C or less as supply air.)
Shutoff valve
• This valve is used to temporarily shut off the supply of air to the device.
• With this valve, this device or the control valve can be removed for maintenance
without stopping the air supply system as a whole.
Piping
• Use pipes with an inside diameter of 6 mm.
• Pipes should be selected to fit the installation environment; for example, in a cor-
rosive environment, use vinyl-covered copper pipes.
2-8
Chapter 2: Installation
Connection position
The respective positions of the air supply connection and the output connection are
shown in the diagram below. The dimensions of the screws for the connections can be
selected based on the specifications.
Note
When connecting a solenoid valve, air valve, or the like for emergency cutoff, install it
between the air output connection and actuator, and not on the supply air connection
side of the device.
2-9
2.2.3 Handling of double-acting reversing relay
2-10
Chapter 2: Installation
Installing a model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter to the body of the device
The model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter has two output air connections. Connect
one of the output air connections on the model KZ03 to the supply air connection on
the body of the device using the special-purpose metal fittings, and connect the gap be-
tween other output air connection and the supply air connection (SUP) on the reversing
relay using air pipes and joints.
Installing a model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter or other pressure regulator
with filter separate from the body of the device
Using a T-connector or the like, separate the output air pressure of the pressure regula-
tor with filter into two branches. Then, using air pipes and joints, connect one branch to
the air supply connection on the body of the device, and the other branch to the air sup-
ply connection (SUP) on the reversing relay.
Figure 2-10. Air Pipe to Reversing Relay when Model KZ03 Figure 2-11. Air Pipe to Reversing Relay when Pressure
Is Installed Integrally Regulator Is Installed Separately
Note
Be sure to use branches of the output of only one regulator for the supply air to this
device and reversing relay combination, and make the supply air pressure the same to
both.
2-11
Piping procedure
The procedure for installing the air piping by which the device drives the actuator is
shown below.
Step Procedure
3 Connect the supply pipes and output pipes to the respective joints, taking into
consideration the care and handling of the pipes.
Note
• If a reversing relay is used, connection of the actuator to output connection OUT1 or
OUT2 is determined by valve action. Check valve action before connecting the pipes.
• Flush the pipes sufficiently before connecting them, checking for burrs and other
problems.
• Make sure that the output air piping is only as long as necessary.
4 When all piping has been completed, confirm that there are no air leaks.
The electrical wiring methods for the signal input from the controller and the output
signal to the receiver will now be described.
Warning
• Be sure to perform piping work with the power supply turned off.
• Be sure to follow local electrical work guidelines when performing installation work.
• When using an explosion-proof device in a hazardous area, be sure to install pipes
in accordance with Chapter 6, “Cautions Regarding Explosion-Proof Models.”
• Be sure to attach blind caps to and completely close off conduit connections that are
not being used.

Chapter 2: Installation
Input signal
The input signal to the device is 4 to 20 mA. In addition, this input signal is used as the
power supply.
Note
• Do not allow a current of 24 mA DC or higher.
• The device will not operate properly with a current of less than 3.85 mA.
• If the current drops below 3.85 mA, the travel transmission output will go to burn-
out (fail-safe) level (up or down (undefined)).
• When starting from 0 mA, it may take some time until travel changes. After power
is turned on, use a 3.85 mA or greater signal. In this state, response time will not be
slow. On the contrary, when using a 3.85 mA or greater signal, if the flow pressure
fluctuates greatly when the valve is fully closed, overshoot may occur at the first
startup. To suppress overshoot, temporarily lower the input signal to 0 mA.
Caution
• Do not apply excessive voltage (for example, connecting a 24 V DC power supply
without resistance) to the input signal terminal. Doing so can cause the electric
board to burn out, and the device to fail.

2.2.6 Cables (for input signal or travel transmission)
• We recommend the use of CVV (JIS C 3401) 600 V control wires with PVC insulation
and a conductor cross-section of 1.25 mm2, or stranded cables with the same or better
performance specifications.
• For locations that are readily affected by electromagnetic noise, use CVVS (JCS 4258)
shielded wires and metal conduits.
• Select a sheath material that can withstand the cable installation environment (e.g.,
ambient temperature, corrosive gases, and corrosive liquids).
• Pull the cable to the terminal box through the conduit connection port (G1/2 internal
thread, 1/2NPT internal thread, or M20×1.5 internal thread).
• Use cable with an outer diameter between 7 and 12 mm. If a flameproof cable gland is
used, be sure to use packing that conforms to the outer diameter of the cable.
• For wire ends, we recommend the use of crimp terminals (for M4 screws) with an
insulating sleeve.
Cabling
When cabling between the device and the controller, be careful of the following items.
• For waterproofing and wire damage prevention, we recommend using conduits and
ducts. In addition, be sure to use waterproof adapters at conduit connections.
• In locations that are readily affected by electromagnetic noise, use conduits and ducts.
• If shielded cables are used for wiring, as a rule ground one point on the distributed
control system side.
Note
• The devices are intended for use in industrial locations defined in CE marking di-
rective (EN 61326-1).
• A 3.5 % variation in the opening of the valve may occur around 2–4 MHz of con-
ducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields (EN 61000-4-6).
• Use the provided remote cables as the cables between the main unit and the valve
travel detector of a remote type (Model AVP200/201). Regarding construction and
cabling, see 2.3, “Remote Type Handling.”
2-16
Chapter 2: Installation
Wiring procedure
The wiring procedure for operating the device is shown below.
Step Procedure
1 Loosen the hex socket setscrew (M3) on the terminal box cover using a hexagonal wrench
(1.5).
5 Referring to Figures 2-13, 2-14-1, and 2-14-2, run the cable to the relevant terminal in the
terminal box.
Note
• Be careful not to make a mistake in polarity.
• Tighten the terminal screws sufficiently. The recommended tightening torque is 1.5
N·m.
6 Sufficiently waterproof the conduit so that rainwater and the like does not penetrate
inside.
Note
• We recommend the use of silicone resin based non-hardening sealant materials.
7 After attaching and sufficiently closing the terminal box cover, fix the cover in place with
the hex socket setscrew.
Caution
• Be careful to avoid injuring you fingers on the edges of the cover, the threads of
screws on the main unit, etc.
Note
• When doing this, be careful not to scratch the painted surface with a tool or the like.
Note
Model AVP302/202 has an input resistance equivalent to 400 Ω / 20 mA DC, and the
voltage between the terminals must be at least 8 V.
Model AVP300/301 FM/NEPSI/ATEX/CNS intrinsically safe type is equivalent to 350
Ω, and the voltage must be at least 7 V.
Model AVP300/301/200/201 waterproof, flameproof, EAC intrinsically safe type is
equivalent to 300 Ω, and the voltage must be at least 6 V.
Check the allowable load resistance and output voltage of the controller before use.
In addition, if the allowable load resistance of the controller is less than above,
use an isolator or the like.
2-17
2.3 Remote Type Handling
3 Remove the watertight gland or flameproof cable gland that is attached to the terminal
box on the body of the positioner.
4 Pull the remote cable out of the terminal box connection. Be careful not to damage the
cable.
1 Insert the remote cable into the watertight gland or flameproof cable gland.
2 Insert the remote cable into the terminal box connection on the positioner body.
3 Connect the cable and terminal as written on the rear surface of the cover of the terminal
box, avoiding erroneously combining the colors and numbers of the remote cable and the
terminal.
4 Correctly attach the watertight gland or flameproof cable gland to the terminal box
connection. (If a conduit is to be attached, first remove the watertight gland. However, for
the explosion-proof specification, do not remove the flameproof cable gland, as there is a
G1/2 internal thread in the flameproof cable gland.)
5 Close the cover of the terminal box.(For the explosion-proof specification, also tighten
the lock screw.)

Chapter 2: Installation
1 Remove the remote cable from the terminal box, and then cut a remote cable of a suitable
length.
2 Strip off about 6 cm of the sheath from the end of the cable, and strip off about 5 mm of
the insulation of the wire.
3 Insert the drain wire into the heat-shrinkable tubing, and shrink the heat-shrinkable
tubing by applying an appropriate amount of heat to it. (If there is no heat-shrinkable
tubing, take measures so that the drain wire can be insulated from the other wires.)
4 Crimp the wires and the RAV1.25-4 crimp terminals (wire diameter 1.25 mm, M4 round
crimp terminals) with an appropriate crimping tool.
Caution
• When connecting or disconnecting positioner body cables, do not allow contami-
nants, rainwater, and the like to enter the valve travel detector unit or the positioner
body.
• Periodically tighten the watertight gland and flameproof cable gland. Failure to do
so may allow rainwater to enter the equipment, resulting in malfunctions.
• The cable cannot be removed from the valve travel detector unit. However, the wa-
tertight gland can be removed.
• Do not remove the flameproof cable gland on the valve travel detector. Doing so
could cause wires inside the cable to be broken as a result of the rotation of the
cable.

2.3.2 Attachment to the actuator of the valve travel detector
Note
Do not loosen the two bolts hex socket bolt screws that fasten the position sensor to the
valve travel detector case.
Note
Do not allow the cable outlet to face upward.
2-20
Chapter 2: Installation
Note
Install the positioner body in a location where it will not be subjected to severe vibra-
tion. Also, for the integral type regulator, install it such that the drain of the regulator is
facing downward.
If it is not possible for the drain to face downward, use the regulator separately.

mounting bracket Stanchion
Drain
When attaching cabling between the valve travel detector and the positioner body, take
into account the operation of the control valve, the operation of the equipment, the
safety of the workers, etc., and ensure that none of these is affected.
Note
Avoid construction methods and installation methods which place the weight of the
valve travel detector and positioner body directly on the cable.
If, due to the relative mounting positions, this cannot be avoided, consider taking mea-
sures such as securing the cable to a nearby post.
If the cable goes upward, in order to prevent rainwater from entering the cable, first run
it downward and then turn it upward.
Perform cabling in accordance with electrical equipment technical standards.
The cable between the remote type valve travel detector and the body of the device can
be cut to any desired length and then adjusted.
Cable length adjustment must be performed by trained service personnel from Azbil
Corporation, using special-purpose tools. If cable length adjustment is to be performed,
be sure to consult with Azbil Corporation.

2.4 Flameproof Cable Gland and Explosion-proof Universal Elbow
Introduction
If the TIIS flameproof model has been purchased, it will be delivered with the flame-
proof cable gland included.
The flameproof cable gland is used to seal the end of the cable, ensuring explosion-
proof performance and improving insulation performance and mechanical strength.
When using it, if the orientation of the cable needs to be changed, use the flameproof
elbow.

Chapter 3: Operation
Warning
Do not perform wiring work, turn on the electricity, etc., when your hands are wet.
There is a risk of electric shock. Perform this work with the power supply turned off,
and with dry or gloved hands.
When wiring in a hazardous area, work according to the methods prescribed by the
guidelines for the hazardous area.
For flameproof explosion-proof specifications, do not under any circumstances open the
cover during operation (when powered up).
Caution
After installing the device, do not place your body weight on it, use it as a scaffold, etc.
There is a risk that it could fall over.
Do not touch the device unnecessarily while it is in operation. Depending on the envi-
ronment in which the device is used, there is a danger that the surface of the device may
be very hot or very cold.
When opening the cover of the terminal box, be careful of the edges of the cover, the
threads of the screws on the main unit, etc. There is a possibility of injury.
Use a DC power supply that has overload protection. An overload can cause the emis-
sion of smoke and fire.
Bringing tools and the like into contact with the glass portion of the display can cause
damage or injury. Exercise sufficient caution. In addition, be sure to wear safety glasses.
As this product is extremely heavy, watch your footing, and be sure to wear safety shoes.
When the device is in operation, do not touch moving parts such as the feedback lever.
Your hand may become caught, resulting in injury.
Supply power correctly based on the specifications. An incorrect power input can dam-
age the instrument.
When working in a high-temperature or low-temperature environment, wear gloves and
other protective equipment.
Do not bring magnets or magnetic screwdrivers near the device. There is a possibility
that the control valve will move in response.
3-1
3.1 Auto-setup
Before using this device, run auto-setup. After that, if necessary adjust the fully closed
position (zero) and fully open position (span) that delineate valve travel.
The device’s zero/span adjustment function electrically sets the valve closed and open
positions independently, and is thus capable of performing this adjustment without mu-
tual interference.
The auto-setup method that uses an external zero/span adjusting mechanism will now
be described.
Note
After auto-setup is complete, be sure to confirm valve action, including for instance
opening and closing, by varying the input signal.
The device provides the following two operating modes. (This assumes that the software
is version 3.5 or higher; for previous versions, only the fast-response priority mode is
implemented.)
• Stability priority mode: mode that gives priority to stability, with little overshoot.
• Fast-response priority mode: mode that gives priority to fast response; use this
mode with a double-acting actuator.
This setting is switched based on the forced fully closed setting, so be sure to change the
operating mode as necessary.
• Forced fully closed setting ≤ 0.5 % input signal: stability priority mode (default
value)
• Forced fully closed setting > 0.5 % input signal: fast-response priority mode
3-2
Chapter 3: Operation
Warning
• During auto-setup the valve moves from fully closed to fully open. Take appropriate
measures beforehand to ensure that the movement of the valve will not cause injury
or have an effect on the process.

Chapter 3: Operation
Step Procedure
2 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero/span adjustment screw in the upper
part of the case 90° clockwise (counter-clockwise for Azbil Corporation’s VR and RSA
actuators for VFR type control valves), and hold that position for three seconds. If the
valve then starts to move in the direction that releases actuator air pressure, the auto-
setup process has begun, so remove the screwdriver.
3 The valve alternates between fully closed and fully open two times. It then moves to the
vicinity of the 50 % open position. This takes approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
4 When the input signal becomes able to control the valve, the auto-setup operation ends.
After the operation ends, hold the input signal at 4 mA or higher for 30 seconds so that
the settings are written to non-volatile memory.
Note
• While auto setup is running, do not set the input signal below 4 mA. (As long as the
signal is in the 4 to 20 mA range, changing it will not cause any problems.)
• Do not use a magnetic screwdriver, as this may prevent the function from operating.
• After the operation has completed, vary the input signal and confirm that the cor-
responding position results. If the span position has shifted, adjust the span. (See 3.2,
“External zero/span adjustment.”)
• In some cases, configuration may not succeed due to the actuator’s diaphragm capac-
ity (if lower than with Azbil Corporation’s HA1 type actuator, which has a diaphragm
capacity of 850 cm3) or operation stroke (if less than 14.3 mm). If this occurs, refer to
4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” and manually adjust the dynamic character-
istics.
• Even if actuator size or valve size is the same, depending on the combination of de-
vices, the default settings at the time of factory shipment are not always the same.
Check how the device operates after installation and adjust the settings if necessary.
• After executing auto-setup, the forced fully open setting (see 4.4.7, “Forced fully
open/closed setting,”) may be changed. If necessary, reconfigure the forced fully open
value.
• When an Azbil Corporation VFR type control valve is configured by turning the ex-
ternal zero/span adjustment switch in the counter-clockwise (DOWN) direction, the
actuator size is set to PARAM7-9, and the feedback lever is set to 0 % upward travel
and 100 % downward travel.
• If the booster relay is incorporated, there is a possibility of hunting during auto-setup,
so either adjust the booster’s sensitivity or refer to 4.4.4, “Control parameter configu-
ration,” and manually adjust the dynamic characteristics.
• If a speed controller is incorporated, set it to full open and execute auto-setup. Then,
adjust the speed with the speed controller.
• If the device is purchased separately, its initial settings are set to those in the list of de-
fault values in 5.7, “List of Default Internal Data Values.” Because the default actuator
direction is reverse, the device will not work as is if mounted on the direct actuator.
Before operation, be sure to execute auto-setup and be sure that the device is config-
ured appropriately.
3-5
3.2 Zero/Span Adjustment
The zero/span adjustment method that uses an external zero/span adjusting mechanism
will now be described.
[Adjustment Method]
The zero/span adjustment screw functions as an on/off switch. When rotated 90° clock-
wise, the UP switch turns on, when rotated 90° counterclockwise, the DOWN switch
turns on, and when returned to the original position, both switches turn off. Adjust the
position by repeatedly turning this switch on and off. The position of the feedback lever
is stored when the switch is turned off. Since zero point and span point adjustments do
not interfere with each other, these can be adjusted independently.
The operation of the external zero/span adjustment unit is shown below.
[Adjustment Direction]
When the adjustment screw is turned in the clockwise direction, the feedback lever
moves in the upward direction.
When the adjustment screw is turned in the counterclockwise direction, the feedback
lever moves in the downward direction.
Note
• The external zero/span adjustment mechanism uses a magnet to turn a reed switch
on and off.
• Do not use a magnetic screwdriver, as this may prevent the function from operat-
ing.
• The external zero/span adjustment function determines, based on the input signal,
whether a valve fully open position (span) adjustment or a valve fully closed posi-
tion (zero) adjustment is to be performed. If the input signal is not within a range
of ±1 mA of the electric current setting values that correspond to the valve open
and closed positions, this function will not operate.
3-6
Chapter 3: Operation
The procedure to adjust the valve to the fully closed position (zero point) is shown
below.
Step Procedure
1 Input from a controller (constant-current supply) the preset electric current in the
amount that corresponds to the valve being fully closed. (Example: 4 mA)
2 Adjust the fully closed position of the valve by turning the adjustment screw in the
clockwise or counterclockwise direction. See Figure 3-2-1 or Figure 3-2-2 regarding
adjustment direction. (If the forced fully closed function is operating, the valve will not
move. To change the forced fully closed setting, see 4.4.7, “Forced fully open/closed
setting.” The default value is 0.5 %.)
The procedure to adjust the valve to the fully open position (span point) is shown
below.
Step Procedure
1 Input from a controller (constant-current supply) the preset electric current in the
amount that corresponds to the valve being fully open. (Example: 20 mA)
2 Adjust the fully open position of the valve by turning the adjustment screw in the
clockwise or counterclockwise direction. See Figure 3-2-1 or Figure 3-2-2 regarding
adjustment direction.
Note
• After valve fully open/closed position (zero/span) adjustment, vary the input signal
and confirm that the corresponding position results.
• After adjustment ends, hold the input signal at 4 mA or higher for 30 seconds so
that the position settings are written to non-volatile memory.
• If a span adjustment is performed after auto-setup has been executed, the forced
fully open value will be automatically set to −1 % of the overstroke. If necessary,
reconfigure the forced fully open value.
3-7
3.3 Starting Operation
Confirmation procedures
The configuration data confirmation procedure is shown below.
Check the following before starting operation.
• The air supply system has been completed and the appropriate supply air pressure
is being supplied (there are no air leaks).
1 Vary the input signal from the controller (constant-current supply) and confirm that the
position of the control valve changes according to the set characteristics. If the system
does not operate correctly, see “Troubleshooting.”
2 After confirming proper operation, restore the electrical wiring to its original state and
tighten the terminal box cover firmly.
3-8
Chapter 3: Operation
(2) Data confirmation method when communication with a setup device has been established
1 Set the input signal from the controller (constant-current supply) to a value that results in
an actual opening position of 50 %.
2 Referring to 4.3.1, “Measured value confirmation,” confirm that the drive signal of the
process variables is 50±25 %.
Caution
• If the above conditions are not satised, the EPM balance adjustment is o. Conse-
quently, EPM balance adjustment is necessary. If EPM balance adjustment is not
performed appropriately, the valve position may vary suddenly and damage the
EPM, so be sure to have this adjustment carried out by Azbil Corporation service
personnel, or by a representative who has received Azbil Corporation training.
1 Set the input signal from the controller (constant-current supply) to a value that results in
an actual opening position of 50 %.
2 Referring to 4.8, “Self-diagnostics,” perform the self-diagnostics and confirm that the
diagnostics pass.
If not, refer Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” and take the appropriate measures.

4.6 Maintenance
4.6.1 Mode
The HART® version has two modes. One is “In service” and the other is “Out of service.”
When performing calibration or adjustment, or when changing settings, the control
valve will move, so first verify that these operations will not result in problems that
could adversely affect plant operation. Then set the mode to “Out of service.”
After completing calibration or adjustment, or after changing settings, set the mode to
“In service.” These operations cannot be performed when the device mode is “In ser-
vice.”

Do not perform wiring work, turn on the electricity, etc., when your hands are wet.
There is a risk of electric shock. Perform this work with the power supply turned off,
and with dry or gloved hands.
When wiring in a hazardous area, work according to the methods prescribed by the
guidelines for the hazardous area.
For flameproof explosion-proof specifications, do not under any circumstances open the
cover during operation (when powered up).
Caution
After installing the device, do not place your body weight on it, use it as a scaffold, etc.
There is a risk that it could fall over.
Do not touch the device unnecessarily while it is in operation. Depending on the envi-
ronment in which the device is used, there is a danger that the surface of the device may
be very hot or very cold.
When opening the cover of the terminal box, be careful of the edges of the cover, the
threads of the screws on the main unit, etc. There is a possibility of injury.
Use a DC power supply that has overload protection. An overload can cause the emis-
sion of smoke and fire.

5.1 Troubleshooting
Types of problems
Introduction
The following three types of problems can conceivably occur when starting up and be-
ginning to operate the device.
• Problems due to a mismatch between device specifications and actual usage
conditions
• Problems due to erroneous configuration or operation
• Problems due to device failure
Using the self-diagnostics function, problems with the device are recognized, divided
into “major” and “minor,” and either displayed or addressed. When a problem occurs,
refer to the troubleshooting guide presented here and take appropriate action.
Major failure
“Major failure” refers to a state in which a serious problem has arisen in the operation
of the device and, if no action is taken, damage to the device itself may result. Should a
serious problem occur during operation of the device, the output air pressure (position)
and travel transmission output will continue to output the value which has been set for
the error processing (fail-safe) direction.
Example:
VTD FAULT # This is the message when the position sensor (VTD) fails.
Minor failure
In a “minor failure” state, there is no serious problem for the operation of the device. If
a problem has occurred during operation of the device, and the self-diagnostics deter-
mine that the device has experienced a minor failure, the travel transmission output will
continue to operate normally without changing to the fail-safe output.
Example:
MANUAL MODE # This is the message when the device is in the “dummy current” input
state.

5.2 A/M Switch
Introduction
The A/M switch changes the control method for the output air from the positioner be-
tween automatic operation and manual operation.
Automatic operation
The output air pressure corresponding to the input signal is output from the device.
Manual operation
• The supply air pressure is output directly from the positioner.
• Manual operation can be performed using the pressure regulator. (Not available
when a double-acting actuator is used.)
Warning
• When the A/M switch is operated, the valve moves, which can be dangerous. Take
appropriate measures beforehand to ensure that the movement of the valve will not
cause injury or have an effect on the process.

Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
1 Open the A/M switch cover plate by manually rotating it clockwise 180°. (The cover plate
can be made to rotate easily by pressing on the upper left of the cover plate at the same
time.)
2 Rotate the A/M switch one turn in the counterclockwise direction (the MAN direction)
using a flat-blade screwdriver. (Confirm the change using an output air pressure gauge.)
1 Rotate the A/M switch one turn in the clockwise direction (the AUTO direction) using a
flat-blade screwdriver. (Confirm the change using an output air pressure gauge.)
2 Manually rotate the A/M switch cover plate counterclockwise 180° until it stops with a
clicking sound.
Caution
• Do not loosen the A/M switch cover plate screw.
• Do not rotate the A/M switch too far in the counterclockwise direction, as doing so
will cause the O-ring to detach, resulting in air leakage.

5.3 Filter Replacement and Restriction Maintenance
Introduction
Contamination from the instrumentation air that collect in the restriction unit of the
device can be removed during maintenance. For the instrumentation air, use dry air
which has been cleared of solid particles up to 3 µm in size (or less). Be sure to use a
Phillips head screwdriver for the procedure below.
2 Remove the setscrews from the changes of the A/M switch unit.
Note
When removing the screws, be careful not to drop the washers, corrugated washers, etc.,
from the A/M switch cover plate.
4 Use nippers or the like to cut the holder and remove the old filter.
Note
Dispose of the old holder and filter appropriately.
5 Use wire (diameter 0.3 mm) or the like to remove contaminants from the throttle.
Note
When removing the contaminants, be careful not to damage the restriction. Do not use an
air gun. Also, make sure that there is no oil on the restriction.
6 Wrap the new filter around the A/M switch, and press it into place with the holder.
7 Screw down the A/M switch until it stops, and insert the O-ring into the groove.
8 Assemble the product nameplate of the A/M switch unit with the A/M switch cover plate
using the setscrews.

Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Introduction
If contaminants from the instrumentation air have accumulated on the flapper, clean
the flapper as described below.
Step Procedure
2 Have scraps of paper 0.2 mm thick ready. Common business cards would be suitable.
3 Use the scraps of paper to clean the contaminants that have accumulated in the gap
between the EPM nozzle and the flapper.
4 After cleaning the gap, attach the pilot cover to the main unit.
Caution
• If air pressure is being supplied to the device then, when the flapper is cleaned, the
nozzle back pressure will change, causing the valve position to change suddenly.
Clean the flapper only under conditions that that will neither cause personal injury
nor affect plant operation even if the valve should move suddenly.
Caution
• As a rule, do not perform the insulation resistance test. Performing this test may
damage the built-in lightning arrester for surge voltage absorption. If these tests ab-
solutely must be carried out, follow the specified procedure closely.
Test procedure
• Detach the device's external wiring
• Connect the + and - input signal terminals, and the + and - output signal termi-
nals.
• Perform the test in between these shorted terminals and the ground terminals.
• Applied voltage and decision criteria are as follows. In order to prevent damage to
the meter, do not apply voltages higher than the values shown below.
Test criteria
The test criteria are as follows.
Test Criteria

Cautions regarding explosion-proof models
Introduction
When using an explosion-proof model, be sure to use the product correctly, paying suf-
ficient attention to the cautions in this chapter.
Flameproof structure
“Flameproof structure” refers to a structure in which, if an explosion of the explosive
gas occurs inside the enclosure in the fully closed state, the enclosure will withstand the
resulting pressure, and in addition, there will be no danger of igniting external explosive
gas.
• Hazardous areas in which this device can be installed are defined as follows.
IIC T6
Ambient atmosphere with gas ignition point of 85 °C or higher
Ambient atmosphere of explosive gas classified as IIC
Specifically, the hazardous areas in which the device can be installed are Type 1 areas
and Type 2 areas. The device cannot be installed in Type 0 areas.
Ambient temperature range: −20 to +55 °C
Warning
• Do not loosen the fastening screws of the cover and angle sensor while the device is
turned on and for one minute after it is turned off. Doing so can cause an explosion
to occur.
Caution
• Be sure to install the specified (the provided) flameproof cable gland on the signal
wiring port of the device. Also, if the orientation of the wiring needs to be changed,
use the provided flameproof elbow. In terms of flameproof configuration, in order
to guarantee flameproof specifications, only specified flameproof cable glands and
flameproof elbows may be used.
• When using the device, give sufficient consideration to preventing corrosion, defor-
mation, damage, etc. with respect to the products case, cover, and the like. In addi-
tion, fasten the cover sufficiently tightly with the locking screw, and do not under
any circumstances open the cover while the device is in use.
