Fig.7-3: Volume restriction Q
The volume restriction Q serves to adapt the air output capacity to the size of the actuator:
8. Actuators with a transit time < 1s, e.g. linear actuators with an effective area smaller
than240cm²,requirearestrictedairowrate(MIN).
9. Actuators with a transit time ≥ 1sdonotrequiretheairowratetoberestricted(MAX).
The position of volume restriction Q also depends on how the signal pressure is routed at the
actuator in SAMSON actuators:
'SIDE' inscription
– Foractuatorswithasignalpressureconnectionattheside,e.g.Type3271-5
– For actuators from other manufacturers
'BACK' inscription
10. Foractuatorswithasignalpressureconnectionattheback,e.g.Type3277-5
The following applies to positioners with optional analog inputx: the MIN SIDE setting
must always be used for actuators with an air volume of less than one liter.
Malfunction due to changed start-up settings.
Î Initialize an initialized positioner again after the position of the volume restriction has
been changed.
