Operation Logic
<Figure 1>
Flapper(②) pushes nozzle(③) if input pressure increases. Then the gap between the
nozzle(③) and the flapper(②) increases, which results pressure in upper spool(⑤)
exhaustion. This would cause spool(⑤) to rise upward. As the spool(⑤) rises, the air
pressure will be supplied to the actuator(⑩). As the actuator's inner pressure increases,
the actuator stem(⑫) will move. The movement will be transferred to cam(⑭) and pulls
the span spring(⑮). The span spring(⑮)'s force will be balanced with torque motor(①),
and this would cause to move flapper(②) to the normal position and reduce the gap
between the nozzle(③). As the air pressure exhaustion level decreases through the
nozzle(③), the pressure level in upper spool(⑤) increases again. The spool(⑤) would
come back to the normal position and block the seat(⑦) which would lead to block the
supply air from the actuator(⑩). When the actuator(⑩) stops the movement, the
positioner would come back to the normal position. <Figure 1>

Safety Warning
When installing positioner, please ensure to read and follow safety instruction.
zAll input and supply pressure to valve, actuator, and other related devices must be
turned off.
zUse bypass valve or other equipment to avoid entire system "shut down."
zMake sure there is no remaining pressure in the actuator.
Tools for installation
①Hexagonal wrench
②Screw drivers (+) & (-)
③Spanners for hexagonal-head bolts
YT-1000L installation
YT-1000L should be installed on linear motion valve such as globe valve or gate valve
using spring return type diaphragm or piston actuator. Before installation, be sure to
check for following installation components.
①YT-1000L main body
②Feedback lever and lever spring
③Flange nut (bottom side of YT-1000L)
④4 pcs. of hexagon head bolts (M8 X 1.25P)
⑤4 pcs. of M8 plate washer
Installation Steps
(1) Proper bracket must be made in order to attach positioner on the actuator yoke.
Please consider following when making a bracket.
① Feedback lever should be leveled at 50% of valve stroke. (Refer to Step 7)
② Feedback lever connection bar of actuator clamp should be installed at the
position that the valve stroke and numbers which indicated on the feedback lever
must be fitted. (Refer to Step 8)
(2) Attach YT-1000L to the bracket, which was
produced in earlier step, by using bolts.
<Figure 2> Please refer to backside of the
product for size of bolts. The standard size
of bolt is M8 X 1.25P, and other bolt sizes are
available. Please contact YTC sales department.

(3) Attach YT-1000L (with bracket) to the actuator yoke - DO NOT TIGHTEN
COMPLETELY.
(4) Connect YT-1000L feedback lever to the actuator clamp. The gap on the
YT-1000L feedback lever is 6.5mm. The connection bar thickness should be less than
6.3mm. <Figure 3>
<Figure 3>
(5) Connect air filter regulator to the actuator temporarily. Set supply pressure of
the regulator in order to position the actuator clamp at 50% of valve stroke.
<Figure 4>
<Figure 4>
(6) Insert connection bar into the YT-1200L
feedback lever. The connection bar should be
inserted at the 50% point on the feedback
lever, which would help to reduce hysteresis.
<Figure 5> <Figure 5>

(7) If connection bar does not point at 50% point, then adjust bracket or feedback
link bar position. Failure to position at 50% would lower the linearity of the
positioner. <Figure 6>
<Figure 6>
(8) Check valve stroke. The stroke numbers are indicated on the feedback lever.
Position connection bar at the number on the feedback lever according to the
valve stroke. <Figure 7> To adjust, move the bracket or connection bar.
Stroke 30mm
Stroke 70mm
<Figure 7>
Note
After instaling YT-1000L, operate the valve
from 0% to 100% stroke by using air filter
regulator on the actuator. Both of 0%
and 100%, the feedback lever should not
touch the lever stopper, which is located
on the backside of YT-1000L. <Figure 8>
If the feedback lever touches the lever
stopper, YT-1000L should be installed
further away from the center of the yoke. <Figure 8>
(9) After the proper installation, tighten all of the bolts on the bracket, the
feedback lever, and the connection bar.

Adjustment
Adjustment - Zero Point
①Set supply signal at 4mA or 20mA and rotate adjuster
clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust actuator's initial
point. When setting initial point, the specification of valve
and system must be taken account. Please refer to
<Figure 17> for increase/decrease of the zero point. <Figure 17>
②When single acting actuator with spring is used, please check if the pressure level
which is indicated on the positioner is same to the supplied pressure level.
Adjustment - Span
①After setting zero, supply 20mA or 4mA of signal.
Check the actuator's stroke. If the stroke is too low,
adjust the span towards '+' direction. On the other
hand, if the stoke point is too high, adjust the span
towards '-' direction. <Figure 18>
②Changing span point affects zero point setting. So zero
setting must be set again. After setting zero point,
confirm the span point. This step must be repeated <Figure 18>
until both points are properly set.
③After setting is completed, tighten Lock Screw. <Figure 18>
Adjustment - A/M Switch (Auto/Manual)
①A/M switch adjusts the valve operation to
automatic or manual.
②When produced, YT-1000L is set at
"A(Automatic)". If user prefers the positioner's
setting as "M(Manual)," the setting can be
changed by turning the switch counter-clockwise.
<Figure 19>
③If it is set as "M(Manual)", the air pressure will be
supplied to the actuator directly. Always set back
to "A(Automatic)" after setting change.
④If OUT2 in single acting actuator or double acting
actuator is used, A/M Switch will not operate. <Figure 19>
Adjustment - Seat Adjuster
①Seat Adjuster is set according to the customer's request before the positioner is
delivered. Please do not adjust the Seat Adjuster.

pressure balance point must be changed. Please do not touch the Seat Adjuster,
because it can affect the positioner's performance. <Figure 20>
<Figure 20>
Adjustment - Orifice
①If the size of actuator is too small relative to the flow rate, positioner can have
hunting. In order to avoid hunting, orifice can be used. There are three types of
the orifice.
②Remove the o-ring from OUT1 and OUT2 port and insert appropriate orifice. After
inserting orifice, place back the o-ring. Make sure there is no substance entering
into port. <Figure 21>
③If hunting persists after inserting the orifice, please contact YTC or its appropriate
agent.

TROUBLESHOOTING
▶ Positioner does not respond to the input signal.
(1) Check supply pressure level. The lever must be at least 1.4 kgf/cm2. For
spring-return type of actuator, the supply pressure level has to be larger than the
spring's specification.
(2) Check if input signal is properly supplied to the positioner. The signal should be
4~20mA DC.
(3) Check if zero point or span point is properly set.
(4) Check if the positioner's nozzle has been blocked. Also, check if the pressure is
supplied to the positioner and the pressure is being exhausted through the nozzle.
If the nozzle has been block by any substances, please send the product for
repair.
(5) Check if feedback lever has been installed properly.
▶ The pressure of OUT1 reaches exhausting pressure level and does not come back
down.
(1) Check A/M Switch. If the switch has been damaged, replace the switch or pilot
relay valve.
(2) Check for a gap or damages between the nozzle and the flapper. If damaged,
please send the product to YTC for repair.
▶ The pressure is exhausted only by A/M Switch.
(1) Check if the positioner's nozzle has been blocked. Also, check if the pressure is
supplied to the positioner and the pressure is being exhausted through the nozzle.
If the nozzle has been blocked by any substances, please send the product to
YTC for repair.
▶ Hunting occurs.
(1) Check if safety spring has been displaced. (Next to Pilot relay valve)
(2) Check if the size of actuator is too small. If so, insert an orifice in order to
reduce the pressure flow rate.
(3) Check if there is any friction between the valve and the actuator. If so, increase
actuator's size or reduce the friction level.
▶ Actuator only operates by On/Off.
(1) Check actuator and positioner's acting type. Air pressure exhausts from
YT-1000L's OUT1 port as input signal level increases. Therefore, it is standard to
connect to OUT1 port when single actuator is used. Make sure the span
adjustment is properly set according to the valve system.
▶ Linearity is too low.
(1) Check if positioner is properly positioned. Especially check if the feedback lever is
parallel to the ground at 50% point.
(2) Check if zero and span point have been properly adjusted. If either one of values
is being adjusted, another one must be re-adjusted as well.
(3) Check if supply air pressure level is stable from the regulator. If the level is

Electro-Pneumatic Positioners YT-1000L Series
- 18 -
unstable, the rgulator must be replaced.
▶ Hysteresis is too low.
(1) In case of double acting actuator, check if seat adjustment has been properly
performed. Please contact YTC for any further inquiries regarding the seat
adjustment.
(2) Backlash can occur when the feedback lever and lever spring are loosen. To
avoid backlashing, please adjust the lever spring.
(3) Check if the connection bar to the feedback lever is tightly fastened.
