Installation
Linear:
1. Mount bracket with two 5/16”x1”
bolts to actuator. Leave bolts loose at
this point.
2. Mount positioner to bracket with
two 8mmx1-1/2 bolts and spacers.
Leave bolts loose at this point
3. Install threaded shaft into
connecting block.
4. Apply air to actuator until valve is
at 50%.
5. Using link bearings and link,
connect from threaded shaft to
positioner travel arm.
Note: Travel arm is metric.
6. Tighten link bearings to travel arm
with ¼” bolt and nut. Adjust nuts on
threaded shaft until link is parallel
with actuator. Then tighten.
7. Slide positioner until link is parallel
with actuator stem. Tighten bolts.
8. Adjust link so that the travel arm
forms a right angle to the actuator.
Tighten bolts.
9. Apply air to actuator until travel is
100%. Inspect to ensure travel arm is
not touching stopper on back side of
the positioner. If so, adjust link
bearing bolt on travel arm
accordingly.
10. Remove air from actuator and
inspect down travel stop. Adjust
accordingly.

Rotary:
The CVS 1200 Positioner comes with
standard NAMUR bracket, optional
brackets available. The bracket may
be used for Fork Lever, or NAMUR
bracket.
Standard actuator stem height is 20,
30, or 50mm. After checking stem
height assemble with bracket as
required.
Attach bracketed CVS1200R to the
actuator using hex-head bolts.
Bracket mounting hole is 6mm. Use
lock washer on fasteners for firm
attachment to the actuator, so the
CVS 1200 positioner will not shake
from vibration or any other impact.
The direction of the bracket is
determined by the operating
condition.
Set rotation position of the actuator
stem at zero point, “0%”. Single
acting actuator stem will be at zero
point when there is no supply
pressure. If a double acting actuator
is being used, check the actuator
stem rotation (clockwise, or counter
clockwise) by supplying pressure.
Install the fork lever after setting the
actuator stem at zero point. Check
the direction of the actuator stem –
clockwise or counterclockwise.
Installation angle of the fork lever
should be 45 degrees based on the
linear shaft. For NAMUR shaft the
angle does not matter.
Upon setting fork lever position,
tighten lock nuts which are
assembled on bottom of fork lever.
Attach CVS 1200R to the bracket. Fix
the clamping pin on the main shaft of
the positioner and insert connection
bar onto the fork lever slot so that it
may be locked to the fork lever
spring. This sets the alignment of the
main shaft of the positioner and the
center of the actuator stem. Poor
alignment of the actuator stem may
lower durability of the CVS 1200 due
to excessive force on the main shaft
of the positioner.
Tighten positioner base and bracket
with hex head bolts and lock washer.
It is recommended to tighten four
bolts after verifying the CVS 1200’s
position.

Pneumatic Input Adjustment
Procedure:
Factory setting for input is 3-15 psi.
The CVS 1200 Positioner is easily
changed to 6-30 psi.
1. Ensure air supply is removed from
unit.
2. Using a 7mm wrench, loosen lock
nut on threaded shaft.
3. Using pliers, remove spring from
zero adjust post.
4. Remove span spring from threaded
shaft.
5. Using the zero spring, turn the
threaded shaft one full rotation
clockwise.(towards span adjuster)
6. Reattach zero spring to post, and
span spring to shaft. Tighten jam nut
on threaded shaft.
Continue with calibration.
Note: Should additional span
adjustment be required, another turn
on the threaded shaft may be
achieved.

Linear and Rotary:
Zero Adjustment-
1. Set signal to the stroke starting
signal (3 psi) then turn the Zero
Adjuster clockwise or counter
clockwise accordingly.
2. In the case of a spring actuator,
check to see if it is set to standard
pressure in zero point. If not, repeat
Zero Adjustment.
Linear and Rotary:
Span Adjustment-
1. Turn and adjust the Span
Adjustment Screw, so that the
indicator reads at final stroke point
by final input signal.
2. Check Zero Point, and repeat Zero
Span Adjustment. ½ Split Range can
be used by Zero and Span
Adjustments.
3. Tighten Lock Screw of Span
adjustment after setting.

Auto/Manual Switch-
1. Factory setting is Auto. To use
manual operation, turn A/M Switch
counterclockwise.
2. In manual operation, the pressure
of a CVS regulator connects to
actuator. After using, return switch to
“A”.
Seat Adjuster-
The Seat Adjuster is adjusted and set
prior to shipment for balanced
pressure point of output pressure.
There should be no need for
adjustment.
Seat adjuster is always used for
double acting configurations. Should
there be a need to change the
balanced pressure point, use the seat
adjuster.
- Should the sensitivity be poor due
to actuator type of load condition,
turn the Seat Adjuster Screw
clockwise. (The stopper screw is set
to avoid the removal of the seat
adjuster screw, do not loosen the
stopper screw at this time.)

Pneumatic Piping Conditions-
- Fully purge the piping from debris.
- Use clean air, fully removed of
humidity and dust.
- Use a CVS filter regulator to
maintain constant supply pressure.
- When using a double action
positioner as a single acting type,
close off either OUT1 or OUT2 and
remove pressure gauge to close its
connection.
Pilot Valve-
When the positioner is attached to a
small capacity actuator, hunting may
occur. In this situation a pilot valve
with a smaller output orifice may be
used for OUT1 and OUT 2. The output
orifice is interchangeable.
Using a Phillips screwdriver remove 4
screws and relay. Turn relay upside
down.
Upon removing the O-ring from
OUT1 and OUT2, place the
appropriate orifice in and re install
the O-Ring to OUT1 and OUT2. Re
install relay.
Ensure that dust and debris does not
enter the port hole when installing
the output orifice.
Should hunting not be resolved by
installing output orifice, contact a
CVS Controls Representative.

Maintenance and Inspection
Ensure the supply air is clean and free
from debris.
Should the pilot valve be
disassembled, apply grease to the
sliding section.
If the fixed orifice becomes clogged
with carbon particles, or similar,
remove the pilot valve Auto/Manual
changeover screw and clean it using a
Ø0.2 wire into the aperture. If it must
be removed and replaced with a new
one, ensure supply pressure has been
relieved and remove the stopper
screw of the pilot valve.
Inspect the positioner once a year.
Replace excessively worn parts as
required. Extreme working conditions
may require increased inspection
intervals.
CARE
Large vibrations may cause improper
operation of the CVS 1200 positioner.
Extreme conditions outside of the
operating temperature range may
cause deterioration of the seals, and
improper operation.
Ensure supply air is free from dust
and humidity.
Should the postioner be on site for
long periods of time not operational,
consider covering it so as to not let
the weather elements get into the
positioner.
