The following applies to all reversing am-
pliers:
The signal pressure of the positioner is sup-
pliedattheoutput1ofthereversingampli-
er. An opposing pressure, which equals the
required supply pressure (Z) when added to
the pressure at output 1, is applied at output
2.
The following relationship applies:
output 1 + output 2 = Supply pressure (Z).
Connect output 1 to the signal pressure con-
nection on the actuator that causes the valve
to open when the pressure rises.
Connect output 2 to the signal pressure con-
nection on the actuator that causes the valve
to close when the pressure rises.
5.10 Attaching positioners with
stainless steel housings
Positioners with stainless steel housings re-
quire mounting parts that are completely
made of stainless steel or free of aluminum.
The pneumatic connecting plate and pres-
sure gauge bracket are available in stainless
steel (order numbers listed below). The
Type3710 Pneumatic Reversing Amplier is
also available in stainless steel.
