5.3.4 Reversing amplier for
double-acting actuators
For the use with double-acting actuators, the
positionermustbettedwithareversingam-
plier,e.g.theSAMSONType3710Revers-
ingAmplier(seeMountingandOperating
Instructions uEB8392).
The signal pressure of the positioner is sup-
plied at the output A1 of the reversing ampli-
er.Anopposingpressure,whichequalsthe
required supply pressure Z when added to
the pressure at A1, is applied at output A2.
The rule A1 + A2 = Z applies.

Signal pressure connections
A1:ConnectoutputA1tothesignalpressure
connection on the actuator that causes the
valve to open when the pressure rises.
A2:ConnectoutputA2tothesignalpressure
connection on the actuator that causes the
valve to close when the pressure rises.
Pressure gauge attachment
The mounting sequence shown in Fig.5-10
remains unchanged. Screw a pressure
gauge bracket onto the connections A1 and
Z.

Pressure gauges for supply air Z and output
A1accordingtosection5.8.
Mounting
When using a reversing amplier, the pres-
sure regulator (9) must be turned as far as it
will go in the clockwise direction.
Remove the sealing plug (1.5) before mount-
ing the reversing amplier. The rubber seal
(1.4) must remain installed.
1. Screw the special nuts (1.3) from the ac-
cessoriesofthereversingamplierinto
the threaded connections of the position-
er.
2. Insert the gasket (1.2) into the recess of
thereversingamplierandslideboththe
hollowed special screws (1.1) into the
connecting boreholes A1 and Z.
3. Placethereversingamplierontothepo-
sitioner and screw tight using the two
special screws (1.1).
4. Use a screwdriver (8 mm wide) to screw
theenclosedlters(1.6)intotheconnec-
tion boreholes A1 and Z.
