DXP 4-20mA Installation, Operation & Maintenance
4
4) The alignment boss on the bracket (indicated in Illustration 2) should hold one of
the mounting ears of the sensor in place. Once mounted, verify that no rotary
movement of the potentiometer housing is possible.
5) If applicable, plug the position sensor cable into the 4-20mA position transmitter
keyed header connector.
6) Connect the three output wires to the indicated terminal block positions if you
are using the potentiometer only option. (As shown in Illustration 6)
7) The module is now ready for calibration/operation
8) Before mounting the DXP to an actuator, make sure the potentiometer alignment
marks are aligned as shown in Illustration 4 with the valve in the closed position.
NOTE:**The potentiometer has been factory set for typical valve rotation ranges from 20 to
180
0
in counter-clockwise rotation applications from the 4mA position to the 20mA position
and from valve rotation ranges from 20 to 90
0
in clockwise rotation applications from the
4mA position to the 20mA position. Please contact TopWorx for proper potentiometer set
up for ranges greater than specified above.

The 4-20 current transmitter can be used for any rotation range between 20 and 3200**.
Reverse directions are automatically accounted for during the calibration process.

Counter-clockwise calibration - Press the button greater than 0.5 secs and less than three secs if you are going to calibrate using a
counter-clockwise rotation from the 4mA position to the 20mA position. (LED will start flashing a 3 – 1 code indicating that calibration mode is
active and the unit is waiting to calibrate the 4ma position).

Clockwise calibration - Press the button greater than three secs and less than 5.5 secs if you are going to calibrate using a clockwise
rotation from the 4ma position to the 20ma position. (LED will start flashing a 3 – 2 code indicating that calibration mode is active and the unit
is waiting to calibrate the 4mA position).
3) Rotate valve to the desired position corresponding to 4mA. (This can be the open or closed position)
4) Press the button to capture the 4mA value (The LED will start flashing a 3-3 code indicating that the unit is waiting to calibrate the 20mA
position)
5) Rotate valve to the desired position corresponding to 20mA (This will be the position opposite of the position in step 3)
6) Press the button to capture the 20mA value (The LED will turn on continuously)
