1436 cPos
1.4 Correct use
w The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is suitable for use as defined in the
data sheet. In order to ensure correct product function, the
following notes should be observed. Pay attention to the
information on the product labels.
w Non-observance of these notes and the notes in the general
operating instructions will lead to a loss of the guarantee on
the GEMÜ 1436 cPos and of legal liability.
w The GEMÜ 1436 cPos serves solely as a positioner and
process controller and must be used according to the data
sheet.
w Any other use or use above and beyond this is not
permitted. GEMÜ shall not be liable for any consequential
damage which is solely at the user's risk.
w Please pay attention to the pertinent technical safety
regulations when planning both the use and operation of
the device. The designer, plant constructor or operator is
always responsible for positioning and mounting of the
GEMÜ 1436 cPos.
1.5 Information on use in damp conditions
Under no circumstances whatsoever may the
GEMÜ 1436 cPos be cleaned with a high pressure
cleaning device because the protection class IP 65
is not sucient for this.
The following information is intended to help when mounting
and operating the GEMÜ 1436 cPos in damp conditions:
● Lay cables and and pipework so that condensate or rain
water that remains on the pipework / cables cannot enter
the cable glands of the M12 plugs of the GEMÜ 1436 cPos.
● Check that all cable glands of the M12 plug and the ttings
are mechanically secured.
1.6 Mounting position
The mounting position of the GEMÜ 1436 cPos is optional.
When mounted upside down it must be ensured that no liquids
or dirt can enter the outlet of the pressure relief valve.
1.7 Tools required for installation and assembly
The tools required for installation and assembly are not
included in the scope of delivery.
2 Manufacturer's information
2.1 Transport
¬ Only transport the positioner by suitable means. Do not
drop. Handle carefully.
¬ Dispose of packing material according to relevant local or
national disposal regulations / environmental protection
laws.
2.2 Delivery and performance
¬ Check that all parts are present and check for any damage
immediately upon receipt.
¬ The scope of delivery is apparent from the dispatch
documents and the design from the order number.
¬ The performance of the positioner is checked at the factory.
● If the GEMÜ 1436 cPos positioner is ordered as a complete
unit with a valve, these parts and the accessories belonging
to them are supplied ready assembled and factory set. The
GEMÜ positioner is then ready for immediate operation.
2.3 Storage
¬ Store the positioner free from dust and moisture in its
original packaging.
¬ Avoid UV rays and direct sunlight.
¬ Maximum storage temperature: 60 °C.
2.4 Function
The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is an intelligent electro-pneumatic
positioner designed for mounting to pneumatic actuators. It can
be operated as a positioner or a process controller depending
on the design.
Normally the GEMÜ 1436 cPos is mounted directly to the
actuator. The travel sensor is already integrated in the
positioner (GEMÜ 1436 cPos can be optionally ordered with an
M12 connector for remote mounting of the travel sensor).
The travel sensor measures the current position of the valve
and relays this position to the electronic control system of the
GEMÜ 1436 cPos which correlates the actual value of the
valve with the set value and adjusts the valve if necessary.
If the positioner is ordered with an additional process controller
(optional), a current actual value signal (e.g. level, pressure,
temperature, ow) is evaluated and the positioner adopts the
function of a process controller.
The information required can be called-up on the two-line
display of the GEMÜ 1436 cPos. Self-explanatory help texts
that explain the meaning of the parameters called-up are also
displayed.
The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is operated using four keys.
2.5 Fail safe function
The GEMÜ 1436 cPos has a fail safe function which ensures
that the outlets are vented during a pneumatic and electrical
power supply failure.
This fail safe function is not a substitute for specic plant safety
requirements. The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is not a safety control
system.
