SD760 Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The ValvePAC Series 760 valve positioners are available in pneumatic
and electro-pneumatic models, 760P and 760E respectively. Both are cam
characterized, double-acting valve positioners. The 760P pneumatic
positioner accepts a 3-15 psig or 3-27 psig input signal and converts it to
a pneumatic output to position a control valve actuator. The 760E
electro-pneumatic positioner accepts a 4-20 mA current signal and
converts it to a pneumatic output. They can be used with linear or rotary,
single or double acting actuators. Shown at right is a 760 mounted to a
sample linear actuator. A selection of cam profiles and feedback levers
(for linear operation) is available. A wide selection of mounting kits is
available to allow mounting the positioner on most valve actuators.
Available indicator options include a yellow flat indicator, an red and green beacon indicator, and pressure gauges,
as shown on the cover of this manual. Output options include 4-20 mA feedback, 1K potentiometer feedback,
mechanical limit switches, and proximity switches. These options can be easily added in the field.
This manual is divided into five sections: Introduction, Installation, Cam Indexing and Positioner Calibration,
Option Kit Installation, and Maintenance. A Parts List with an exploded view drawing of the positioner follows the
Maintenance section.
IMPORTANT
This publication is for positioner design levels A, B, and D. Information that applies to a
specific design level(s) is identified by the words Design Level and the appropriate
letter(s).
Save this manual. It should be available to those installing, configuring, operating, and
servicing the subject positioners. See Section 1.4 Customer/Product Support to download
the current revision of this publication.
The Cam Indexing and Positioner Calibration section and other procedures specify an
input signal of 3-15 psig (760P) or 4-20 mA (760E). If other engineering units (e.g. kPa)
are to be used, substitute the equivalent values for the specified values for best accuracy.

2.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes installation of a Series 760 Valve Positioner on either a linear actuator or a rotary actuator.
Installation of the mechanical feedback linkage is also described. Optional Siemens bracket kits and feedback kits
are featured in these procedures.
Section 2.1 describes shipping and storage of the positioner. A list of materials to be supplied by the installer will be
found in Section 2.2. Mechanical Installation procedures are provided in Section 2.3. This section is divided into
two subsections: 2.3.1 Linear Actuator Applications and 2.3.2 Rotary Actuator Applications. Pneumatic connections
are identified and supply air recommendations are stated in Section 2.4 Pneumatic Connections. Section 2.5
Electrical Connections contains wiring data for non-hazardous and hazardous locations, with references to the
control drawing and approval certificates as appropriate. Following Section 2.5, the Siemens control drawing,
declaration of conformity, and approval certificates are found.
Installation Sequence
The following is a typical installation sequence. It may be necessary to rearrange the sequence as circumstances
dictate, although the final step should always be calibration.
1. Mount the positioner on the actuator using a Siemens bracket kit or installer fabricated mounting bracket.
Install either the Siemens mechanical feedback components or installer fabricated feedback components.
2. Change the cam to the desired type and lobe, as necessary, and index the cam. Refer to Section 3.2 Cam
Installation and Indexing.
3. Install options (e.g. Output Option Kit, Indicator Option Kit) in the positioner. Refer to Section 4 Option Kit
Installation and to the Instructions provided with the kit.
4. Calibrate the positioner, align the beacon or flat indicator as needed, and check that the valve operates
correctly. Refer to Section 3.3 Calibration.
Before continuing, read the following warning. If installing in a hazardous area, refer to Siemens control drawing
15032-7602 and the certifications following Section 2.5 Electrical Connections. The positioner approvals plate,
Figure 1-2, must display the required agency approvals for the installation location and hazardous area
classification.
WARNING
If the positioner is to be temporarily stocked, stored for an extended period, or shipped to another location prior to
piping, the factory installed plastic plugs must remain inserted in all otherwise un-piped pneumatic ports and
conduit connectors to prevent entry of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants.
Before beginning an installation, the positioner-to-actuator mounting and feedback linkage must be carefully
considered. A positioner mounting bracket kit with mechanical feedback components can be ordered from Siemens.
Each mounting bracket kit is designed for a specific actuator or series of actuators and includes the bracket,
hardware, and other parts. If a kit is not available for a particular actuator or actuator model, a custom mounting
bracket and feedback linkage can be ordered from Siemens or fabricated on-site.
Positioner dimensions and mounting hole locations are shown in Figure 2-1, for design levels A and B, and in
Figure 2-2, for design level D. Figures 2-2 and 2-3 provide dimension details for design level D adapters and
feedback levers.
For actuator dimensions and mounting details, refer to the actuator manufacturers literature.
CAUTION
Exceeding the positioner or actuator specified operating temperature limits can
adversely affect performance and safety and may cause damage to the instrument.
Refer to Section 1.1 Specification for positioner environmental specifications.

Note the Installation Considerations on page 2-7. Then perform the Mechanical Installation procedure on page 2-9.
A typical Siemens linear bracket kit is used to mount the positioner on a linear or rising stem actuator and a typical
Siemens feedback kit is used to couple the actuator shaft to the positioner input shaft. If another mounting bracket
and feedback linkage will be installed, use this procedure as a guide. The input shaft and feedback lever for design
levels A and B and for design level D are shown in Figures 2-5 and 2-6.
Note
Refer to the Kit Installation Instructions supplied in Siemens bracket kits and adapter
kits to mount the positioner and install the feedback linkage.
Installation Considerations
The positioner may be mounted in any orientation.
When the installation is completed, the feedback lever must be approximately perpendicular to the actuator
stem with the actuator at mid-stroke.
The feedback linkage between actuator stem and positioner input shaft typically includes a slotted bracket
attached to the actuator stem, a feedback lever attached to the positioner input shaft, and a feedback pin
fastened to either the feedback lever or the slotted bracket. See Figures 2-4, 2-7, and 2-8.
The feedback linkage must be rigid and motion must be transferred from the actuator to the positioner input
shaft without deflection or hysteresis.
Figure 2-7, details A and B, show the feedback pin fixed to the slotted bracket, the preferred method. The
distance from the centerline of the feedback pin to the centerline of the input shaft must equal 0.866 x
actuator stroke.
Figure 2-7, detail C, shows the feedback pin fixed to the feedback lever. This is an alternate method that
causes an increase in linearity error of approximately 2%. The distance from the centerline of the feedback
pin to the centerline of the positioner input shaft must equal actuator stroke.
With the positioner mounted on the actuator, pneumatic ports must be accessible for piping and electrical
conduit connections must be accessible for wiring; allow space for conduit runs. Remove plastic pipe plugs

Mechanical Installation
1. Determine needed cam characteristic (linear, equal percentage or quick opening); the linear cam is factory
installed unless otherwise specified on the order. Determine direction of rotation of cam and input shaft (CW or
CCW) with increasing input signal. This information will be needed to (1) orient the feedback lever design
level D, (2) change the cam, if necessary, and (3) index the cam.
2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the positioner. Mounting bracket shape will vary with the design of the actuator.
3. Read the positioner design level: A, B, or D. See the next to last character in the 14-character model
designation on the nameplate label (Figure 1-1).
Design level D: The end of the positioner input shaft protruding from the back of the positioner will be D-
shaped (round shaft with a flat on one side). Perform steps 4 and 5 below.
Design level A or B: The input shaft and feedback lever are permanently attached. Go to step 6.
4. Design Level D: Fasten the linear (lever) adapter to the positioner input shaft. If desired, apply a thread locking
solution to the adapter setscrew. Tighten the adapter setscrew on the flat of the input shaft to prevent adapter
slippage.
5. Design Level D: Orient the feedback lever and install the retaining clip as follows.
1) Orient the feedback lever as described and shown in Figure 2-9.
Figure 2-9 Feedback Lever Orientation and Retaining Clip Position, Design Level D
2) Press the long un-notched edge of the lever into the retaining clip and lift the two hooked ends of the clip
until they can be placed in two notches in the lever and hook onto the lever. See Figures 2-10 and 2-11.
Figure 2-10 Placing the Feedback Lever into the Retaining Clip
3) Then fasten the lever to the linear adapter using the supplied split lockwasher and nut.
6. Fasten the feedback pin to the actuator shaft. This is often accomplished with a slotted bracket as shown in
Figure 2-4. In other instances the pin may be threaded into an existing hole in the stem block.
7. Determine the required feedback pin length as follows.
1) Hold the positioner against the actuator to simulate the installed position.
2) Rotate the lever against the pin and mark the pin at the required length with a piece of tape. The pin must
be long enough to enter the slot in the lever and extend beyond the lever by at least 1/8-inch.
3) Remove the pin and cut it to length. Remove any burrs and slightly bevel the cut end. Re-install the pin.
8. Mount the positioner on the actuator and guide the feedback pin into the slot in the feedback lever.
Note
Design Level D: The retaining clip is typically installed on the feedback lever at the
factory. If this makes inserting the 5/16-inch feedback pin in the feedback lever
difficult, remove the clip and either reinstall it after inserting the pin in the lever slot or
when indexing the cam in Section 3 Cam Indexing and Positioner Calibration.
Reposition the retaining clip on the feedback lever as shown in Figure 3-6 or 3-7.
Read the following Installation Considerations. Then perform the Mechanical Installation procedure on page 2-12.
A typical Siemens rotary bracket kit is used to mount the positioner on a rotary actuator and a Siemens feedback kit
is used to couple the actuator shaft to the positioner input shaft. If another mounting bracket and feedback linkage
will be installed, use this procedure as a guide.
Note
Refer to the Kit Installation Instructions supplied in Siemens bracket kits and adapter
kits to mount the positioner and install the feedback linkage.
Installation Considerations
The positioner may be mounted in any orientation but it must be rigidly mounted to the actuator.
Align actuator shaft and positioner input shaft centerlines to minimize friction and binding as the shafts
rotate minimize backlash for best accuracy.
When the positioner is mounted, the pneumatic ports must be accessible for piping and the electrical
conduit entrance must be accessible for wiring; allow sufficient space for conduit runs. Remove pipe plugs
just prior to piping and installing conduit.

Actuator
Mechanical Installation
1. Determine cam characteristic (linear, equal percentage or quick opening) and direction of rotation of cam and
input shaft (CW or CCW) with increasing input signal. This information will be needed to change the cam, if
necessary, and then to index the cam.
2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the valve positioner. Mounting bracket shape will vary with the design of the
actuator.
3. If the end of the positioner input shaft is D-shaped (round with a flat on one side), perform step 4. If the end of
the positioner input shaft is a NAMUR style or 0.5 square shape, go to step 5.
4. Install a NAMUR style adapter, 0.5 square adapter, or other adapter (see Figures 2-3, 2-13 and 2-14). Fasten
the adapter to the positioner input shaft. If desired, apply a thread locking solution to the setscrew. Tighten the
adapter setscrew on the flat of the input shaft to prevent adapter slippage.
5. Mount the positioner/bracket assembly on the actuator and connect the mechanical feedback components. Refer
to the Kit Installation Instructions included with the Siemens bracket kit and the feedback kit to install the
feedback linkage.
IMPORTANT
Check that all adapters/couplers are fully inserted. If the NAMUR adapter or shaft end
includes an anti-backlash spring, the adapter must be fully inserted in the mating slot for
the anti-backlash spring to function.
Refer to Table 2-2 and the actuator manufacturers literature to determine the required pneumatic connections
between the positioner and the actuator. Table 2-3 identifies the actuator fail position with loss of either input signal
or supply air for single acting and double acting actuators.

WARNING
Plugging or applying pressure to the Exhaust port will damage the unit and may cause
personal injury.
Pressure in excess of 150 psi in the V1, V2, or Supply port may damage the positioner.
Supply pressure to the positioner must not exceed actuator maximum pressure rating.
Input pressure in excess of 35 psi may cause the input gauge to go out of calibration.
Input pressure of 120 psi may cause the input gauge to burst.

Piping recommendations:
Blow out all piping before connections are made to prevent dirt, chips, or debris from entering the positioner.
Use pipe sealant sparingly and only on male threads. A non-hardening sealant is strongly recommended. Pipe
sealing tape is not recommended.
Connect the positioner to a source of clean, oil-free instrument air. Failure to do so will increase the possibility
of a malfunction or deviation from specified performance. Instrument air requirements are given in the
following section.
CAUTION
Use of process fluids other than instrument air is not recommended. No claim is made as
to the suitability of this product for use with other process fluids, such as hazardous
gases, except as listed on the appropriate certificate. Non-approved instruments are
suitable for use with instrument air only. Optional features and modifications such as
tapped exhaust do not imply suitability for use with hazardous gases except as listed on
the approval certificate.
There are many types of synthetic compressor lubricants. Some may not be compatible with the materials used in
construction of the instrument. Wetting of these materials by such an oil mist or vapor, etc., may cause them to
deteriorate. This may ultimately result in failure of the positioner.
CAUTION
Synthetic compressor lubricants in the instrument air may cause deterioration of some
positioner components resulting in positioner failure.
Positioner Materials of Construction: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Nickel Plated Brass, Nickel Plated
Steel, Polyphenylene Sulfide, Silicone, Silicone on Fiberglass, Neoprene on Nylon, Viton
fluoroelastomer, Viton fluoroelastomer on Nomex, Epoxy Polyester powder coat, Glass Filled Nylon,
Polycarbonate, Bronze, Steel
The requirements for a quality instrument air supply can be found in the Instrument Society of America's "Quality
Standard for Instrument Air" (ISA-S7.3). Basically, this standard calls for the following:
Particle Size - The maximum particle size in the air stream at the instrument should be no larger than 3 microns.
Dew Point - the dew point, at line pressure, should be at least 10 C (18 F) below the minimum temperature to
which any part of the instrument air system is exposed at any season of the year. Under no circumstances
should the dew point, at line pressure, exceed 2 C (35.6 F).
Oil Content - The maximum total oil or hydrocarbon content, exclusive of non-condensables, should not exceed 1
ppm under normal operating conditions.
Refer to Table 1-1 for positioner environmental ratings when an option board is installed. Wiring connections are
shown in Section 4 Option Kit Installation for each circuit board based option kit and the I/P converter. Also refer to
Siemens control drawing 15032-7602, at the end of this section, for electrical specifications and wiring.
The positioner enclosure has a NEMA 4X rating. To maintain the rating when any electrical option is installed, a
sealed electrical connection must be made using appropriate conduit and non-hardening pipe sealant.
Design level A and B positioners have either a 3/4 NPT or M25 conduit connection thread, as specified
on the order. All design level D positioners have a 3/4 NPT thread. When a metric conduit connection is
specified, a 3/4 NPT to M25 conduit adapter is provided (Siemens part number TGX:16300-1439).

13 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The Series 760E and 760P Valve Controllers are designed to be mounted on a valve to drive an
actuator that positions the valve in proportion to an electrical input signal; they also feed back the valve
position and line pressure information to control circuitry located in a non-hazardous area. They
comprise a number of separate parts housed within a metal enclosure that can be fitted with an
optional transparent Lexan dome that permits a valve position indicator to be viewed. External
electrical connections are made to the terminal blocks via a threaded entry that accommodates conduit
or cable. A number of other threaded entries permit the pneumatic connections.
The Model 760E has the I/P converter fitted and the Model 760P does not.
The Valve Controllers are intended to be configured so that all or some of the separate parts (listed as

13 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
The Series 760E and 760P Valve Controllers are designed to be mounted on a valve to drive an
actuator that positions the valve in proportion to an electrical input signal; they also feed back the valve
position and line pressure information to control circuitry located in a non-hazardous area. They
comprise a number of separate parts housed within a metal enclosure that can be fitted with an
optional transparent Lexan dome that permits a valve position indicator to be viewed. External
electrical connections are made to the terminal blocks via a threaded entry that accommodates conduit
or cable. A number of other threaded entries permit the pneumatic connections.
The Model 760E has the I/P converter fitted and the Model 760P does not.
The Valve Controllers are intended to be configured so that all or some of the separate parts (listed as
items 1, 2, and 3 below) may be present.
The separate parts are as follows:

CAUTION
Do not apply supply air pressure to the actuator or the valve positioner during the
indexing process. Applying pressure could cause unexpected movement that could
lead to personal injury or equipment damage.
3. Remove electrical power from the positioner. Remove the 4-20 mA input signal from a Model 760E positioner.
4. Remove the positioner cover by loosening four straight-slot screws.
5. If installed, remove the following:
1) Beacon or flat indicator, see Figure 4-9 or 4-10
2) PC board-based feedback or limit switch option, see Figure 4-1
3) Extension shaft and compression washer; see Figure 4-2
6. Loosen the cam locking screw in the cam locking nut and loosen the cam locking nut 2-3 turns; see Figure 3-4.
To replace the installed cam, perform the following four steps. Otherwise, go to Step 7.
1) Remove the cam locking nut, upper cam index, lower cam index, and the installed cam.
2) Install the needed cam with the cam type (e.g. 90LIN) and lobe text (e.g. CCW) visible.
3) Install the lower cam index on the input shaft so the pin extending from the index engages the elongated
hole in the cam.
4) Install the upper cam index so the teeth on its rear face engage the teeth in the lower cam index and the slot
engages the input shaft. Loosely thread the cam locking nut onto the input shaft. Do not tighten at this time.
Cam Locking Nut
8. If removed in Step 5, install the beacon or flat indicator compression washer, extension shaft, and indicator.
9. Install the retaining clip as described below.
The purpose of the retaining clip is to hold the feedback pin securely against the pressure side of the feedback
lever slot, even at small cam pressure angles. This prevents excessive play in the linkage and limits the amount
of error introduced into the system through the linkage.
It may be necessary to separate the feedback pin from the lever to ease installation of a retaining clip.

3.3 CALIBRATION
See Figure 3-8 for the location of the zero and span calibration adjustments.
IMPORTANT
Calibrate the positioner by adjusting only the zero and span screws shown in Figure 3-
8. Model 760E: Do not adjust the factory set I/P calibration screws shown in Figure 4-
10.
Elevating the zero and suppressing the span will provide more valve seating force. For example, setting the zero at
2% input and spanning at 98% input will assist the valve in closing tightly and opening fully.
Cams are designed to allow 10% over/under-range. However, if under range is used, the zero and span will be
slightly interactive.

1. Make all needed pneumatic and electrical connections. Refer to Section 2 Installation as needed. See Figure 4-
11 for I/P Transducer terminal polarity.
2. Remove the positioner cover by loosening four cover screws.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum actuator and valve positioner air pressures stated in the
manufacturers literature. Exceeding these ratings could cause personal injury or
equipment damage.
4. Apply an input signal (e.g.: 4 mA or 3 psig) and set it to zero %.
5. Loosen the zero lock screw. Turn the zero adjustment screw ( >0< ) to achieve desired valve position.
6. Tighten zero lock screw.
7. Set the input to 100% (e.g.: 20 mA or 15 psig).
8. Loosen the span lock screw. Turn the span adjustment screw ( |<->| ) until the valve is at the desired position.
9. Tighten span lock screw.
10. Set the input to zero %. Verify that the zero has not changed. Adjust as necessary.
11. Remove supply air and all electrical power from the positioner. If removed to index the cam, install removed
indicator and PC board-based option. Refer to Section 4 Option Kit Installation as necessary.
12. Install positioner cover and tighten the screws to 20 lb in (2.3 N m).

Output
As an example, in the above figure, Valve System 1 operates from the fully closed position to its fully open position
when the control signal goes from 4 mA to 12 mA (or 3 psig to 9 psig). Valve System 2 remains closed during this
first portion of the control range, opening only when the control signal reaches 12 mA (or 9 psig). It continues to
open to its full position when the control signal reaches 20 mA (or 15 psig). Reverse action is also possible on one
or both of these devices.
Since the valve systems operate independently, what control ranges are possible? As stated in the Section 1.1
Specifications, the ZERO setting is adjustable between -10% to +60% of normal control range, and the SPAN
setting is adjustable between -60% to +25% of normal control range. The normal span is 12 psig (for a pneumatic
positioner) or 16 mA (for an electro-pneumatic positioner), span being the difference between the lowest and
highest control signals. As shown in the figure below, this means the ZERO can be set as low as 2.4 mA (or 1.8
psig), or as high as 13.6 mA (or 10.2 psig). SPAN can be set as low as 10.4 mA (or 4.8 psig) and as high as 24
mA (or 19 psig). The only restriction is that, in any valve system, the ZERO & SPAN settings may NEVER
overlap.
These values are achieved during positioner calibration by adjusting the ZERO screw and SPAN screw settings,
see Figure 3-8 for screw locations.

CAUTION
The temperature in the installed location must not exceed the temperature range stated in
Table 1-1 Positioner Specifications with an Installed Option Kit.
For installation in a hazardous location, refer to Control Drawing 15032-7602 at the end
of Section 2 Installation.
Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices. A properly grounded conductive wrist strap
must be worn whenever a circuit board assembly is handled or touched. An anti-static service kit with a
wrist strap and static dissipative mat is available from most electronics supply companies.
Equipment Needed
Common hand tools for installing and wiring printed circuit board assemblies
Torque wrench [20 lb. in. (2.3 Nm)]
Anti-Static Service Kit (described above)
4.1.1 Installation
These kits use a common circuit board with the electrical components on the board determined by the option(s)
residing on the board. The PC board is supported by three 8-32 x 1/4" screws and hex standoffs.
Most of the following steps will be performed for all output option board kits. Where a step is performed only for a
particular board type, the board type is stated.
1. Remove supply pressure from the positioner.
2. Remove all electrical signals and power from the positioner.
3. To protect sensitive semiconductor devices from electrostatic discharge, fasten a conductive wrist strap on your
wrist and connect the wrist strap ground lead to a good ground.
4. Loosen four positioner cover screws and remove the cover.
5. Thread three hex standoffs (two long and one short) from the option kit into bosses in the positioner enclosure;
see Figure 4-2 for the location of long and short standoffs. Tighten the three standoffs.
6. 4-20 mA and 1K potentiometer feedback option kits only Loosen two screws securing the potentiometer
bracket to the circuit board and rotate the bracket counterclockwise; see Figure 4-2. This provides clearance
while installing the board.
7. Place the board on the three standoffs and tighten the captive screws.
8. Mechanical or Proximity Limit Switch option kit Install the extension shaft and compression washer. (Skip
this step and go to Step 9 if a beacon or flat indicator is already installed.) Place the compression washer on
the 1/4-20 threads of the input shaft. Install and tighten the extension shaft until the compression washer is
completely flat. See Figure 4-2 and the exploded view drawing is in the Parts List section.
9. Mechanical or Proximity Limit Switch option kit Install two limit switch actuator cams; see Figure 4-2.
1) If a beacon indicator or flat indicator is installed, remove the indicator from the extension shaft. A beacon
indicator can be pulled axially off the extension shaft; the flat indicator is secured with a single screw.
2) For each actuator cam, pinch together the two tabs and slide the actuator cam onto the extension shaft until
it aligns with a limit or proximity switch.
3) If removed above, install the indicator. The indicator can be aligned during option calibration.
10. Install the green ground screw and washer, the enclosure earth ground wire clamp, and, as needed, the I/P wire
clamp; see Figures 4-1, 4-2 and 4-11.
Go to Section 4.1.2 Calibration and Wiring of PC Board-Based Options. Perform the steps for the option kit being
installed.
Refer to Section 2.5 Electrical Connections when installing in a hazardous location. All wiring must be in
accordance with applicable national and local electrical codes for the intended electrical circuit load.
WARNING
4. Set valve and actuator at the second desired limit position. Connect the ohmmeter across the desired pair of
terminals.
5. Squeeze the tabs on the second cam, and rotate it in the direction of input shaft rotation until the switch triggers.
6. Exercise the valve and check switch operation. Disconnect calibration equipment.
Note
Due to normal tolerances, it may be necessary to adjust the position of the limit
switches to insure that the switch actuating levers make contact with the cams
throughout the full range of travel. If proper limit switch actuation is not occurring,
loosen the switch mounting screws and reposition the switches toward the input shaft.
Refer to Table 4-1, Figure 4-3, and Control Drawing 15032-7602, at the end of Section 2, and connect the two
switches to external devices or barriers as needed for the required degree of protection. For mechanical limit switch
electrical ratings, refer to Table 1-1.
Proximity limit switches must be used in conjunction with a switch transfer barrier. The barrier provides either dual
transistor outputs or dual relay outputs depending on the model. In order to comply with intrinsic safety approvals,
the Pepperl + Fuchs proximity switches must be used with an approved Pepperl + Fuchs switch transfer barrier.
Refer to Control Drawing 15032-7602, at the end of Section 2, for approved barriers, specifications and wiring
diagrams.
Follow Control Drawing 15032-7602 and the instructions supplied with the barrier and for correct wiring of the
Proximity Sensors to the barrier. Terminal connections are listed in Table 4-1 and shown in Figure 4-3.
CAUTION
The proximity sensors are not intended to carry a load current - DO NOT WIRE
SENSORS DIRECTLY TO ASSOCIATED APPARATUS.
3. Squeeze the tabs on one of the cams and rotate it in the direction of positioner input shaft rotation with
increasing input signal until the switch triggers.
4. Set valve and actuator at the second desired switch position.
5. Squeeze the tabs on the second cam, and rotate it in the direction of input shaft rotation until the switch triggers.
6. Exercise the valve and check switch operation. Disconnect calibration equipment.

An ohmmeter and the equipment listed in Section 3.1 are needed for calibration.
1. Apply supply air pressure and set actuator and valve to 50% +/-5%.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the potentiometer bracket screws. Swing the potentiometer away from the input
gear. Rotate the potentiometer gear until the red alignment mark is aligned with the input gear. See Figure 4-5.
3. Mesh gears tightly to eliminate backlash and tighten both bracket mounting screws. The alignment mark
should mesh within two gear teeth of the centerline of the gears as illustrated in Figure 4-5.
4. Set valve to 0% position. Read the resistance between V2 and V1 and between V2 and V3 with an ohmmeter.
One of these two readings will be high, and one will be low. If low end resistance is less than 0 (false
reading) or greater than 130 , disengage and rotate the potentiometer gear by one tooth until the resistance is
between 0 and 130 . Each tooth on the potentiometer gear represents 128 of potentiometer resistance.
5. Disconnect calibration equipment.
Connections are made to terminal block TB1; see Figures 4-4B and 4-8. For voltage feedback, connect reference
voltage to terminals V1 and V3, and use V2 to measure output voltage. Refer to Control Drawing 15032-7602 for
installation in a hazardous location.

V3
Refer to Table 4-3 to determine the correct terminal connections for the intended use. For example, if resistance is
to increase with clockwise input shaft rotation (Direct CW), connect to terminals V1 and V2.

Note
Shaft kits for design levels A and B have been discontinued. Table 1-5 lists the
universal replacement shaft kit for design levels A, B, and D. The table also lists the
NAMUR, square, and linear adapters, and feedback levers, to be used with the
universal shaft kit.
The following procedure is provided for users with one-piece design level A or B shaft kits in spare
parts stock. While installing the kit, refer to the exploded view of the positioner in the Parts List
section and to the instruction supplied with the kit.
1. Remove supply pressure from the Positioner.
2. Remove the positioner cover. Remove beacon/flat indicator, shaft extension, and compression washer (if
installed). Remove PC board-based option board (if installed).
3. Loosen the cam locking screw. Remove the cam lock nut, upper and lower cam indexes, and the cam. See
Figures 3-1 and 3-4 as needed.
4. Pull the input shaft out through the back of the positioner enclosure. The retaining ring, thrust washer, and O-
ring will remain attached. These parts are pre-installed in shaft kits.
CAUTION
O-rings are pre-lubricated. If additional lubrication is needed, Molykote 55 is
recommended for standard black O-rings and Dow Corning 3451 is recommended for
orange silicon O-rings. Do not use a silicone based lubricant.
5. Insert the input shaft from the kit through the back of the positioner, threaded end first. Rotating the shaft
slightly while inserting will ease installation.
6. Index the cam and calibrate the positioner. Refer to Section 3 Cam Indexing and Positioner Calibration as
needed.
7. Install beacon or flat indicator and PC board-based option removed during calibration.
8. Install the cover and tighten the cover screws to 20 lb. in. (2.3 N m).

5. Place two O-rings from the kit in the recesses in the manifold block and place the manifold block in the
positioner enclosure so the transducer mounting screw holes align.
6. Insert the 10-32 x 2-1/4-inch screw from the kit into the I/P Transducer from the kit. Place the I/P Transducer
over the manifold block and guide the screw through the manifold block. Thread the screw into the enclosure.
Align the I/P and manifold block and tighten the screw securely.
7. Install the wire clamp from the kit as shown in Figure 4-11.
8. Refer to Siemens control drawing 15032-7602 and attach the input leads (recommend 22 AWG shielded,
twisted pair wire minimum) to the + and - connections of the I/P Transducer terminal strip. The wire should
enter the positioner through the conduit connection and be routed through the wire clamp. See Section 2.5 for
general and hazardous location wiring requirements.
9. Verify I/P operation and calibration by performing the procedure in Section 3.3 Calibration.
IMPORTANT
Calibrate the positioner by adjusting only the zero and span screws shown in Figure 3-
7. Do not adjust the factory set I/P calibration screws shown in Figure 4-11.
10. Install positioner cover and tighten screws to 20 lb. in. (2.3 N m).
Vent Hole
Spool, Long
Journal
5. Remove and discard two spool block retaining screws, the spool block, spool, and gasket under the block.
6. Orient the spool block from the kit with the vent hole to the left as shown in Figure 4-12.
7. Remove the new spool from its tubular container. Place a finger over the spool hole in the bottom of the spool
block to prevent the spool from falling through the block. Insert the spool, long journal first, into the top of the
spool block. The spool should drop through the block under its own weight.
8. Select a spool block gasket (see the detail below) from the Output Capacity Kit:
High temperature application or ozone atmospheric condition Select the Viton/Nomex gasket.
Other applications Select the neoprene/nylon gasket.
Viton/Nomex gasket
has a V-notch or
color dot and a
distinct cinnamon
scent.
The adapter plate can also be used for mounting a Model 760 in other situations as well.
See Table 1-4 for kit part number. Model 760 dimensions are shown in Section 2 Installation.
A Model 750 feedback lever (linear applications) has a 1/4-inch slot for a 1/4-inch feedback pin. This is the same as
a Model 760 Design Level A or B, assuring compatibility. If replacing a 750 with a 760 Design Level D, which uses
a 5/16-inch feedback pin, it will be necessary to change some components, such as the feedback lever, in the
feedback linkage. Refer to Section 5.2 Feedback Lever and Feedback Pin Compatibility.

5.0 MAINTENANCE
The positioner requires no routine maintenance. It is highly recommended that quality instrument air be used as
described in section 2.4.2 Instrument Air Requirements.
Filter screens at the pneumatic ports may require periodic replacement. The frequency of cleaning is dependent
upon the quality of instrument air used.
The end user should perform periodic functionality tests of the positioner in accordance with the critical nature of
the application.
5.2 FEEDBACK LEVER AND FEEDBACK PIN COMPATIBILITY (Linear Action Only)
To successfully replace an installed design level A or B positioner with a design level D positioner, note the
following two considerations.
The 1/4-inch feedback pin employed in a design level A or B installation should not be used with the design level D
feedback lever that has a 5/16-inch slot. Figure 5-1 shows the design level A or B lever and feedback pin. Figure 5-
2 shows the design level D pin and lever. Instead, the feedback pin should be changed to the 5/16-inch diameter pin
to snugly fit the design level D feedback lever.
Note
In some cases it may be necessary to change additional mechanical feedback
components when replacing a design level A or B positioner with a design level D
positioner.
