The device is designed for the open-loop control and closed-loop
control of media.
▶▶ The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
▶▶ Pulsating direct voltage (rectified alternating voltage without
smoothing) must not be used as power supply.
▶▶ In the potentially explosion-risk area the positioner Type 8791 may
be used only according to the specification on the separate Ex type
label. For use observe the additional information enclosed with the
device together with safety instructions for the explosion-risk area.
▶▶ Devices without a separate Ex type label may not be used in a
potentially explosive area.
▶▶ During use observe the permitted data, the operating conditions
and conditions of use specified in the contract documents and
operating instructions, as described in chapter “6 Technical data”
in this manual and in the operating instruction for the respective
pneumatically actuated valve.
▶▶ The device may be used only in conjunction with third-party devices
and components recommended and authorised by Bürkert.
▶▶ In view of the wide range of possible application cases, check
whether the positioner is suitable for the specific application case.
▶▶ Correct transportation, correct storage and installation and care-
ful use and maintenance are essential for reliable and faultless
operation.
▶▶ Use the positioner Type 8791 only as intended.

5.2 General description
The positioner Type 8791 is a digital, electro-pneumatic position If used outside, the device may be exposed to direct sunlight
controller for pneumatically actuated proportional valves. The device and temperature fluctuations which may cause malfunctions
incorporates the main function groups or leaks.
- Position sensor ▶▶ If the device is used outdoors, do not expose it unprotected to
- Electro-pneumatic control system the weather conditions.
- Microprocessor electronics ▶▶ Ensure that the permitted ambient temperature does not exceed
the maximum value or drop below the minimum value.
The position sensor measures the current positions of the propor-
tional valve. The microprocessor electronics continuously compare
the current position (actual value) with a set-point position value
specified via the standard signal input and supplies the result to the
position controller. If there is a control difference, the electro-pneu-
matic control system corrects the actual position accordingly.

▶▶ Take appropriate measures to prevent the equipment from
being accidentally actuated.

NOTE!
Avoid maladjustment of the controller due to an incorrect
supply pressure or applied operating medium pressure.
▶▶ Run X.TUNE whenever the supply pressure (= pneumatic auxiliary
energy) is available during subsequent operation.
▶▶ Run the X.TUNE function preferably without operating medium
pressure to exclude interference caused by flow forces.
