Improper Commissioning
WARNING
Improper commissioning
These instructions are valid solely for the installation and commissioning of the Booster.
It is absolutely necessary that you follow the safety rules, notes and requirements of the
compact operating instructions before assembly, commissioning and also during operation
of the positioner. You can find the compact operating instructions on the supplied CD or on
the Internet under: http://www.siemens.com/processinstrumentation/documentation
(http://www.siemens.com/processinstrumentation/documentation)

pneumatic actuator.
•Please observe the corresponding safety instructions for the pneumatic actuator in use.
WARNING
Lever for position detection
Danger of crushing and shearing with mounting kits which use a lever for position
detection.
During commissioning and ongoing operation, severing or squeezing of limbs could occur
as a result of the lever. Risk of injury when working on control valves due to the high
operating force of the pneumatic actuator.
•Do not reach into the range of motion of the lever following mounting of the positioner
and mounting kit.

NOTICE
Caution
Use of process fluids other than instrument air is not recommended. No claim is made as to
the suitability of this product for use with other process fluids.
3.1.3
Prior to working on the control valve
CAUTION
Please note the following before working on the control valve and when attaching the
positioner
Danger of injury.
•Prior to working on the control valve, you must move the control valve into a completely
unpressurized. Proceed as follows:
–Depressurize the actuator chambers.
–Switch off the supply air PZ.
–Lock the valve in its position.
•Make sure that the valve has reached the unpressurized state.
•If you interrupt the pneumatic auxiliary power to the positioner, the unpressurized
position may only be reached after a certain waiting time.
•When mounting, observe the following sequence imperatively to avoid injuries or
mechanical damage to the positioner/mounting kit:
–Mount the positioner mechanically.
–Connect the electrical auxiliary power supply.
–Connect the pneumatic auxiliary power supply.
–
Commission the positioner.
WARNING
Mechanical impact energy
In order to ensure the degree of protection of the housing (IP66), protect the housing
versions of the positioners listed here from mechanical impact energy:
•6DR5..3; not greater than 2 Joule
•6DR5..0; not greater than 1 Joule
•6DR5..1 with inspection window; not greater than 1 Joule

Introduction
In that condition where you are using a Double Acting SIPART PS2 with a Single Acting
actuator, the following must be considered:
With loss of supply air the Double Acting SIPART PS2 will lock in the last position. This
prevents the actuator spring from returning the valve to its fail-safe position. By using the
"venting" gauge block and properly piping the positioner to the actuator the air on the side
opposite the spring can be exhausted back through the air supply line.

3.3
Pneumatic Connections
Refer to Installation drawings for the locations of the pneumatic connections. The supply and
output connections are 1/4" NPT. Ideally the SIPART PS2 Venting Gauge Block assembly
should be close coupled to the actuator. Tubing of 1/4" O.D. or larger is recommended for
piping.
Blow out all piping before connections are made to prevent the possibility of dirt or chips
entering the relay. Use pipe sealant sparingly, and then only on the male threads. A non-
hardening sealant is strongly recommended. Connect the relay to a source of clean, dry, oil-
free instrument air. See Instrument Air Requirements.
NOTICE
Caution
Pressure in excess of 7 BAR (101.5 PSI) to any connection may cause damage to the
relay. In any event, maximum actuator pressure should never be exceeded.
Instrument Air Requirements
NOTICE
Caution
Use of process fluids other than instrument air is not recommended. No claim is made as to
the suitability of this product for use with other process fluids.
NOTICE
Caution
Synthetic compressor lubricants in the air system at the instrument may cause the
instrument to fail.
There are many types of synthetic compressor lubricants. Some may not be compatible with
materials used in construction of the relay. Wetting of these materials with such an oil mist or
oil vapor, etc., may cause deterioration and may ultimately result in the failure of the
instrument. Refer to Specifications for a list of materials.
The requirements for a quality air supply can be found in the Instrument Society of America’s
“Quality Standard for Instrument Air” (ISA-S7.3). Basically this standard calls for the
following:
Particle Size – The particle size in the air stream at the instrument shall be no larger than 3
microns.
Dew Point – The dew point, at line pressure, should be at least 10°C (18°F) below the
minimum temperature to which any part of the instrument air system is exposed at any

Installing/mounting

season of the year. Under no circumstances should the dew point, at line pressure, exceed
2°C (35.6°F).
Oil Content – The maximum total oil or hydrocarbon content, exclusive of non-condensable,
should not exceed 1 ppm under normal operating conditions.
