HPP-4 Positioner
Instruction Manual
Introduction
The Becker HPP-5series positioner
represents a breakthrough in valve con-
trol technology for the natural gas in-
dustry. Built to exacting specifications,
the easily maintained unit offers highly
accurate control with excellent control
characteristics in a broad range of oper-
ating environments. The HPP-5series
positioner is designed such that upon
reaching a valve position and achieving
a steady state, the gas consumption is
very low. Additionally, its bleed gas
can be routed to a lower pressure
downstream or fuel gas system, elimi-
nating bleed gas completely. This
means significant savings to your com-
pany in terms of minimizing expensive
bleed gas as well as a cost saving
means of minimizing the environmental
impact of atmospheric hydrocarbons
and diminishing natural resources.
Description
The Becker HPP-5positioner is used in
control valve assemblies with a control-
ler or I/P transducer and double acting
actuator to provide accurate flow or
pressure control. The HPP-5 can be
used with various valve types that utilize
a double acting pneumatic piston ac-
tuator. The HPP-5 design positioner
represents Becker’s commitment to
continuos development of new products
and updating of existing products to
maximize their performance while re-
taining simple operation and minimum
maintenance.
Valves over 16” in diameter require the
use of a Becker HPP-4positioner with
Volume boosters.
Scope of Manual
This manual provides information on in-
stallation, operation, adjustment, and
maintenance of the Becker HPP-5po-
sitioner. For information concerning ac-
tuators, valves, and accessories, refer

Guidelines for Usage
Large Volume Control Valve Actuators:
Control Valves that require large volume
actuators may require Model VB-250
Volume Boosters to ensure adequate
stroking speed. HPP-5 positioners are
NOT compatible with volume boosters.
The HPP-4 positioner must be used
Bleed to Pressure System: The HPP-5
Positioner is typically utilized for applica-
tions where no discharge pressure of
less than 350 psig is available. The very
low steady state bleed of the positioner
makes it efficient for minimizing atmos-
pheric emmisions. The HPP-5 is also
compatible with the Becker BPS (Bleed
to pressure system).
High Gain Systems: The HPP-5 is not
preferred for this application. It may be
successfully used with small diameter
(4” and smaller) ball valves for this appli-
cation, but its limited orifice capacity
makes it too slow for controlling larger
valves on short systems.
CVE Globe Pattern Control Valves: The
Becker HPP series positioners are com-
patible with the Globe style control valve,
but require a minimum of 2” of actuator
stroke for proper feedback and opera-
tion. This makes it impossible to use
this positioner with most globe valves
smaller than 4” port size.
Compatible Actuators:
•Becker RPDA Actuators (Rotary Pis-
ton Double-Acting)
•Becker LPDA Actuators (Linear Pis-
ton Double-Acting)
•Other manufacturer’s double-acting
piston actuators*
*consult Becker for additional informa-
tion
Retrofit Compatibility:
Optimum performance is achieved by
pairing the HPP-5 with genuine Becker
control valve actuators. Should you al-
ready have existing control valve actuator
(s) in service, the addition of a Model
HPP-5 can improve performance and
eliminate atmospheric bleed emissions if
using the BPS (Bleed to a pressure sys-
tem) feature.
Some Compatible Actuators:
•Bettis T-Series Piston Actuators
•Fisher Type 470 Piston Actuators
•Fisher Type 1061 Piston

Principles of Operation
Close on Increasing Signal
The positioner is a force-balanced instrument that provides a control valve posi-
tion proportional to the pneumatic input signal. The control valve will open on loss
of input signal. The energy to operate the control valve is obtained from the differen-
tial between the supply and discharge pressures. In steady state, the forces im-
posed on the balance beam by the input signal diaphragm and the range spring are
equal; therefore, the top and bottom balance valves in the positioner are at or near
their closed positions. The cylinder top and bottom pressures are both equal to
power gas pressure, and the control valve is stationary. An increase in the input
signal pressure results in the opening of the lower balanced valve due to an imbal-
ance in the beam forces. This decreases the pressure in the cylinder top., while
the pressure in cylinder bottom remains at power gas. The control valve begins to
close. The actuator rod stretches the range spring, increasing its tension. This
force, which opposes the force on the balanced beam caused by the increasing in-
put signal, continues to increase until the balance beam forces are in equilibrium.
At this point the valve is in the correct position for the applied input signal. The po-
sitioner has a sensitivity adjustment which permits a balance between greater ac-
curacy (from a smaller deadband) and minimal bleed gas.

input signal. The energy to operate the control valve is obtained from the differential
between the supply and discharge pressures. In steady state, the forces imposed
on the balance beam by the input signal diaphragm and the range spring are equal;
therefore, the top and bottom balance valves of the positioner are at or near their
closed positions. The cylinder top and bottom pressures are both equal to power
gas, and the control valve is stationary. An increase in the input signal pressure re-
sults in the the opening of the upper balance valve due to an imbalance in the beam
forces. This decreases the pressure in the cylinder bottom, while the pressure in
the cylinder top remains at power gas pressure. The control valve begins to open.
The actuator rod stretches the range spring, increasing its tension. This force, which
opposes the force on the balanced beam caused by the increasing input signal, con-
tinues to increase until the balance beam forces are in equilibrium. At this point the
valve is in the correct position for the applied input signal. The positioner has a sen-
sitivity adjustment which permits a balance between greater accuracy (from a
smaller deadband) and minimal bleed gas.

HPP-57September 1999
Adjustment Procedure
The sensitivity adjustment drum on one
end of the positioner determines the
sensitivity of the unit.
The variable orifices determine the
stroking speed of the positioner.
Initial Adjustment
1. Adjust the supply regulator:
Adjust the supply regulator to the de-
sired Power Gas pressure. Refer to the
original invoice paperwork supplied
with the product for the appropriate
Power Gas pressure setting. It is im-
perative that adequate supply gas pres-
sure be supplied to the VRP-CH in or-
der to ensure proper operation of the
system and all accessories.
2. Adjust the adjustable orifices:
The adjustable orifices are utilized to
control the volume of gas that is sup-
plied to the HPP-5.
The stroking speed of the system is
proportional to the numerical value of
the adjustable orifice. Adjustable ori-
fice settings are typically equal for both
orifices. However, a few applications
may require unequal settings for each
adjustable orifice. Refer to Fine Tuning
for more information on utilizing une-
qual adjustable orifice settings. Set
both orifices according to the table be-
low.
Notes:
•To determine the cylinder bore, look
at the model number stamped on
the stainless steel tag on the top of
the cylinder. The cylinder bore will
be the first number following the first
capital letter “H”. This one or two
digit number following the first “H”
will be the diameter in inches and
will be followed by another letter

number 6H8F6FG-H4 has an

6. If the actuator is equipped with an
MCV-3 Manual Control Valve), place
the left MCV-3 handle in the manual
position. If the actuator is not
equipped with an MCV-3, use the
block valve (1/4 “ ball valve) installed
between the positioner output and
the actuator. Once the actuator has
reached its desired position (based
on the mid-signal applied to the in-
strument port –Step 5), place the
block valve in the closed position.
7. Final Sensitivity Drum Adjustment
For positioner’s bleeding to atmos-
phere:
Disconnect any bug vent or tube fitting
from the exhaust port.
Turn the deadband adjustment drum in
the direction of decreasing numbers,
until the exhaust port begins to bleed
gas. Than turn the drum in the oppo-
site direction until the exhaust port just
stops bleeding.
The unit is properly adjusted if increas-
ing or decreasing the input signa by .2
psig causes the cylinder top and bot-
tom gauges to develop differential
equal to at least 20% of power gas.
Replace the exhaust fitting
For Positioner’s bleeding to a pres-
sure system:
Slowly decrease the setting of the
deadband (decreasing numbers) until
both cylinder gauges are equal and
read 90 to 95% of power gas pressure.
Deadband Setting
1. Turn the deadband adjustment drum
in the direction of increasing the
numbers until the drum can no
longer turn. Then turn the adjust-
ment drum one full turn in the oppo-
site direction (use the numbers on
the drum as a guide).
2. If not already attached, wind 3-4
coils of the range spring onto the re-
tainer.
3. If not already adjusted, set the bias
adjustment screw in the middle of
its travel range.
4. Apply power gas to the HPP-5 posi-
tioner
5. Set the instrument signal pressure
at the midpoint of its range (e.g.. 9
psig for a 3-15 psig range, 18 psig
for a 6-30 psig range). Allow the ac-
tuator to stroke the valve to an inter-
mediate position and the gauge
pressures to balance. (if the valve
does not stroke, insure that the po-
sitioner is communicating with the
actuator cylinder. If equipped with
an MCV-3, make sure the MCV-3
left handle is in automatic.

Adjustment Procedures

Note: When increasing or decreasing
the instrument signal, the output pres-
sure should swing up and down. When
changing direction of the false instru-
ment signal, the output pressure should
immediately reverse direction. Any
“bump” or initial reaction of the gauge in
the wrong direction indicates friction
(requiring the unit be rebuilt to eliminate
the friction).
8. Place the instrument signal to auto-
matic and open the block valves or
return the left handle of the MCV to
automatic.

Bias Adjustment
Bias Adjustment
For Standard (Non-split range) Sys-
tems:
1. To increase the bias setting, in-
crease tension on the range spring.
This is accomplished by either rais-
ing the spring retainer or screwing
the bias adjustment stud into the in-
dicator bar or tail rod. Note the two
jam nuts tightened against one an-
other to adjust the length of the
stud. When properly adjusted,
tighten the bias lock nut(s).
2. In order to decrease the bias set-
ting, decrease tension on the range
spring by either lowering the spring
retainer or screwing the bias adjust-
ment stud out of the indicator bar or
tail rod. Note the two jam nuts tight-
ened against one another to adjust
the length of the stud. When prop-
erly adjusted, tighten the bias lock
nut(s).
For Split Range Systems (see Table 1 )
3. Find the bias adjustment screw (1/2-
20 thread with 3/8 flats) on the end
of the positioner opposite the pneu-
matic signal input port. Loosen the
jam nut located on the adjustment
screw.
4. To increase the bias setting, tighten
the adjustment screw.
5. To decrease the bias setting, loosen
the adjustment screw.
6. Holding the adjustment screw in
place, tighten the jam nut against
the positioner body.

Range Adjustment
Note: There will be some interaction between
range and bias adjustments. It may therefore
be necessary to readjust the bias and re-check
the range after completing the following steps.
The range, or the amount of travel be-
tween the lower and upper limits of the
input signal, is set with the range
spring. This range will typically be 12
psi for a 3-15 psi system or 24 psi for a
6-30 psi system. The limits of the range
can be defined as the initial point at
which the instrument signal
to the HPP-5starts valve
movement until the end of
the valve stroke and full
pressure differential across
the cylinder output gauges.
1. After setting the bias for
the start of the valve travel,
continue increasing the in-
strument signal until the
valve strokes is completed AND the
cylinder output gauges show full
power gas pressure differential.
2. Be sure not to overshoot at this
point as any signal level above this
upper limit will show the same read-
ing on the cylinder gauges. This
point is the highest end of the range
and the value may not necessarily
be equal to the desired upper range
value.
Note: For intermediate ranges, use the next
size range spring.

3. If the range is less than desired (i.e.
the actuator reaches its full travel in
less than the specified input range),
strengthen the range spring by
winding it counterclockwise onto
the spring retainer.If the range is
greater than desired, weaken the
range spring by winding it clock-
wise. Repeat adjustments until the
desired range provides full or zero
output pressure.
4. If the desired range is not achieved
after making the above adjust-
ments, readjust the bias (per the
previous instructions) to allow
proper range adjustment.
5. It may be necessary to change the
range spring retainer for some non-
standard ranges (refer to Table 3).

Changing Action of Positioner
To change the positioner from open on in-
creasing signal to close on increasing sig-
nal, or vice versa, the following parts kits
must be ordered:
To change open on increasing to close on
increasing: Part #25-1444 plus an Exten-
sion Rod (item #13 in drawing 35-0516,
see Table 4). The serial number of the ac-
tuator must be specified. The exact part
number of the extension rod will vary
based on the actuator stroke.
To change close on increasing to open on
increasing: Part #25-1289. Note: If con-
verting a close on increasing signal posi-
tioner to open on increasing signal, the
wide end of the tube (item #9) may be
shortened by 11/16" with a hack saw in
place of ordering part #25-1289.
The stroke length of the actuator cylinder
MUST be specified when ordering the
above part numbers. If the actuator serial
number cannot be found, the stroke length
can be found in the regulator model num-
ber. The stroke length is the first letter af-
ter the "H" in the model number. For ex-
ample model 10H12L6FG-SR-S-HSB-
40/35-100-O has a stroke length of "L", or
12 inches ["L" is the 12th letter in the al-
phabet]).
Refer to the drawings 35-0515 and 35-
0516 in the Appendix for the following:
1. Disconnect all supply lines, instrument
line, and output line from the posi-
tioner.
2. Remove the range spring (item #4) at
both ends and those items connecting
it to the rod (item #23) and the posi-
3. Remove the positioner from the
bracket (item #18). The tubing and
fittings on each side of the positioner
must be taken off and installed in the
opposite corner from their original po-
sition (see piping schematic provided
by Becker Precision Equipment) then
reattached to the positioner. This will
allow the positioner to maintain the
actuator failure mode when the posi-
tioner is turned upside down.
4. Move the bracket assembly (item
#18), tube assembly (items #16 and
#17), and cover plate (item #11) to
the positions shown on the desired
drawing.
5. Install the positioner in the opposite
of its original position (upside down if
it was right side up, right side up if it
was upside down).
6. Using parts from the factory kit, as-
semble the spring and surrounding
hardware according to the drawing of
the desired configuration. (Note: all
original parts may not be used when
converting from close on increasing
to open on increasing).
7. The entire bracket assembly (item
#18) or the outer angle may need to
be turned upside down to accommo-
date the new spring height.
8. Reconnect the supply, instrument,
and output lines according to piping
schematic supplied.
Note: The flow direction must be main-
tained through the positioner bodies
when re-piping. (I.e. the flow [supply or
exhaust] moves from P1 to P2 and P3 to

Conversion to Split Range
Converting a standard positioner to a
split range positioner (pneumatic input
other than 3-15 psi or 6-30 psi), requires
ordering the proper conversion kit from
the factory. This kit will include a bias
spring and bias spring cartridge. If re-
quired, it will also contain a new range
spring and mounting spacers.
1. For close on increasing positioner:
Remove the cap on the top of the po-
sitioner along with the spring inside
it.
For open on increasing positioner:
Remove the mounting bracket hold-
ing the cap on the bottom of the posi-
tioner. Then remove this cap along
with the spring inside it.
2. Replace the cap and spring with the
larger bias spring cartridge and bias
spring found in the kit. Make sure
the bias adjustment screw in the
bias spring cartridge is snug against
the bias spring and the spring is cen-
tered before tightening the spring
cartridge.
3. For open on increasing positioner:
Remove the washer and jam nut from
the adjusting screw in the bias spring

Maintenance and Inspection
As with all precision equipment, it is
necessary to periodically test the posi-
tioner to ensure optimum performance.
We recommend the following proce-
dure once a year.
1. Shut off supply pressure and bleed
down at positioner. Note the set-
tings of the variable orifices and re-
move them from the orifice assem-
bly. Clean them thoroughly and re-
install using new o-rings, being sure
to install each orifice in the same
hole from which it was removed (the
orifice and block have matching
numbers for this purpose). Reset
orifices to original settings. Turn on
supply pressure.
2. Apply a midrange signal to the posi-
tioner. Allow the control valve to be-
come stationary at about 50% of the
range. Close the cylinder block
valves or move the MCV-3 handle to
the manual position. The positioner
is now isolated from the cylinder.
Apply a ± ¼ PSIG signal change.
Observe the response in the output
gauges. The output pressure
should develop differential pressure
equal to 20% of the power gas pres-
sure. If the output pressure does
not show immediate response, the
positioner may have too much dead-
band. Reduce the deadband by
turning the drum in the direction of
decreasing numbers. If the pres-
sures do not respond in the correct
direction when reversing the instru-
ment signal change, the unit has in-
ternal friction. Disassemble the unit
and replace all rubber goods.
3. Check the integrity of the balanced
3. (Cont.) Check the integrity of the
balanced valve seats by increasing
the dead band by 1 full number.
When the cylinder top and bottom
gages are equal to the power gas,
the exhaust port should not exhibit
any bleed gas. If either of these
tests fail, then the positioner is not
properly adjusted or the unit needs
to be reassembled with new rubber
goods.
4. Soap test around all diaphragm in-
terfaces, orifice assemblies and
vents. If any leaks are found around
the diaphragms, refer to the assem-
bly instructions for replacement of
all internal rubber parts.
5. Observe the operation of the
gauges. If any gauges are defective,
replace them.
6. Check range and bias. If neces-
sary, readjust per Adjustment Pro-
cedures.

mation is required, call toll free (800)

Note: It is not necessary to replace any rubber goods in Becker
instrumentation or instrumentation accessories on a regular basis. However, common
practice suggests that replacement of rubber goods on a 5-year cycle basis provides
adequate preventative maintenance.
