Introduction
In that condition where you are using a Double Acting SIPART PS2 with a Single Acting
actuator, the following must be considered:
With loss of supply air the Double Acting SIPART PS2 will lock in the last position. This
prevents the actuator spring from returning the valve to its fail-safe position. By using the
"venting" gauge block and properly piping the positioner to the actuator the air on the side
opposite the spring can be exhausted back through the air supply line.
