zone permit the safe opening of the covers.
8.1. Installation
Explosionproof instrument can be installed in flammable gas explosive atmosphere groups IIA, IIB, IIC for the
zones 1 and 2 or in flammable dust explosive atmosphere group IIIC zones 21 and 22.
Intrinsically safe instrument can be installed in flammable gas explosive atmospheres groups IIA, IIB, IIC for the
zones 0, 1 and 2 or in flammable dust explosive atmosphere group IIIC zones 20, 21 and 22.
Note: Since the apparatus has a multiple certifications: ia, d, nA or nL, it is recommended that the type of
installation Ex ia, Ex d, Ex nA nL is identified on or next to the apparatus.
8.2. Start up
NOTE: Before start up, proceed, if required, with instrument calibration as per § 9and/or ensure that all the safety
instructions in the preceding paragraphs have been strictly followed.
Before switching on or after doing any work on the device, always tighten the cover (C) with a seal (J)

9. CALIBRATION OF THE 4700 E/4800 E POSITIONER
Comply with current national and local regulations for electrical installation work.
Comply with national and local explosive atmosphere regulations.
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the instrument or make sure that the local
conditions in the potentially explosive atmosphere permit the safe opening of the cover.
Before switching on or after doing any work on the device, always tighten the cover (C) with a seal (J)
in good condition and put back the safety screw (V).
The positioner mounted on the valve is factory calibrated. If it is supplied alone, calibration will be carried out by
the customer, as follows:
Make the electrical and pneumatic connections, see § 5and § 7.
The zero is set using the nut (4b). Adjust the nut (4b) so that the valve is close for the signal value that
corresponds to the closure of the valve.
The span is adjusted using the spring (5). Turn the spring (5) on the spring end (4), to increase or reduce the
number of active coils, thus reducing or increasing the stiffness of the spring. These operations are carried out to
adjust the span so as that the valve describes its entire stroke for the full range of the control signal.
These two operations are repeated until the correct settings are obtained.
Lock the zero lock nut (4c) and the socket head screw (8)
Note: the Model 4000 I/P Converter does not require any adjustment.
