PMV Positioner storage and handling procedures
PMV Positioners are precision instruments which should be stored and
handled accordingly to avoid problems or damage.
Appropriate precautions should be taken to protect units while in storage.
Warehouse storage
Stored in original PMV shipping containers, units should be stored in an
environmentally controlled area, i.e. clean, cool (15-26°C, 6~80°F) and dry,
out of direct sunlight or weather exposure.
Field storage
Note: Once air supply to the positioner is connected and turned on, internal
air bleed will prevent the ingress of moisture and protect the unit from
corrosion. It is recommended that the air supply be left on at all times.
• If units are installed immediately, tum, and leave on, the air supply.
• If positioner must be stored outdoors, tighten all covers which may
loosened in shipment, make sure all open enclosure entry points are sealed.
Positioners should be wrapped and sealed air and watertight with desiccant
insidetheplastic,unitsshouldbesecurelycoveredwithanopaquecoverand
not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow.
Potential damage mechanism
Whenunitsarestoredinhot,humidclimates,thedailyheating/coolingcycle
will cause air to expand/ contract and be drawn in and out of the positioner
housing.
Dependentonthelocaltemperaturevariations,humidity,dewpointsandthe
time in storage condensation could occur and accumulate inside causing
erractic operation or failure due to water or corrosion. The potential for
condensationdamage is especiallyhigh in southernclimates and aggravated
if units are exposed to direct sunlight.
For further assistance, please contact your nearest PMV office.

Function
The positioning is based on the principle of balanced forces. One force is
originatedbythesignalpressuretransmittedthroughbellows(25)onbalance
arm (19). The otherforce is from the feed back spring (14) and is proportional
to the level of the lower arm (8).
The lower arm (8) level is determined by the position ofthe cam (6) which is
secured to the spindle (2). The spindle (2) is activated by the cylinder rod.
When these two forces are equal, the balance arm (19) isinacentralneutral
position, as is the spool (30). There is a slight leakage of air past the close
tolerances between the pilot valve parts (29 and 30). A small flow runs from
supply Spast the pilot valve ports into the cylinder through
connections C1 and C2. Another small flow leaks out into the positioner
housing.
The PMVPositioner without cover.For figures of components see EXPLODED
DRAWING on page?)
Assume an equilibrium position
If the control pressure is increased the bellows (25) will be deflected
downwords, compressing the spring (14). The end of the balance arm (19)
moves the spool (30) in the bore of the valve body (29) guiding the
supplyairtotherightside ofthe pistonand, at thesame time, exhaustsair from
the left side of the piston through connection C1 into the positioner housing.
Thecylinderpistonmovestotheleft”rotating the spindle(2)withthecam (6)
clockwise” forcing the lower arm (8) upward compressing the feed-back
spring(14).Thesemotionswillcontinueuntiltheadditionalforcefromspring
(14) on the balance arm (19) overcomes the additional force from the bellows
(25).Thebalancearm(19)willthenreturntoitsneutral,centreposition,aswill
the spool (30). There will be no futher motion. Cylinder position is stable at
this new position.
There is only one cylinder position for each signalpressure value. If an
external force acts upon the cylinderpiston rod, it will move momentarily in
the direction of the force. The cam (6), lower arm (8), spring (14), balance arm
(19) and spool (39) will move so that the pressure difference created in the
cylinder will counter-balance the external force.

The PMV Rotary Positioner
1. To zero the positioner
The zeroing screw is
accessible from the outside.
Backoffthescrewandmove
the cover to one side. Fig 1
Adjust by means of a
screwdriver. The adjusting
screw is provided with a
friction brake and need not
therefore be locked after
adjustment. Fig 2
Air preparation
ThePMVRotaryPositionercanworkwithsupply
pressureup to 10 bar (150 psi). In order to obtain
satisfactory operation and high reliability, the
positioner should be fed with dry, clean oil free
air.
Byconnectingtheairsupplytothepositionervia
a filter 25 microns which is placed as close to the
positioner as possible, the required air quality is
received.
For large pressure variations of the supply air, a
pressure regulator should be mounted between
filter and positioner in order to eliminate the
fluctuations.
Installation
The supply air shall be connected to the port S.
The control pressure shall be connected to port I
while ports C1 and C2 are connected to the
connections of the cylinder.
2. To adjust the Control
Pressure Range
2.1 General
The top end of the spring is
provided with an adjusting
nut.The effective length
of the spnng can be varied by
turning the spring relative to
the nut . For any fixed control
range the actuator will move
more if the effective length of
the spring is increased. Fig 3
A. Long travel
B. Short travel
After the spring length has
been adjusted, the spring
guide must be turned in
relation to the nut so that its
underside is not in contact
with the end of the spring.

IMPORTANT: Always start
from zero! Make zero
adjustment (se 1). Adjust

movement of the actuator.
Should you need moretravel:
Back off the locking screw
which locks the spring to the
adjusting nut. Fig 5
Turn the spring clockwise to
increase the effective length
of the spring. Tighten the
screw. Fig 6

the balance arm. Turn the
bellows back and forth while
with-drawing it out of its
mounting.
Before fitting, the length of
the bellows must be
measured. The length should
be 35mm and should be
adjustedif necessaryby stret-
ching or compressing the
bellows.
Check that the O-ring is in
good condition and take care
when compressing the
bellows while fitting it into
place.

N.B. Hold the part of the
bellowstowhich theO-nngis
fitted when pressing in the
bellows, since the dimension
35 mm may otherwise alter.
Refit the balance arm and the
spring.
6. To zero the indicator
Remove the four screws and remove the cover.
Back off the locking screw and zero the indicator.
Replacethecovertocheckthesettingoftheindicator.
Make fine adjustments if necessary.
Tighten the locking screw. Do not tighten screw too
hard, otherwise the indicator will crack.
Mount the cover and tighten the four screws.
