Note 
Commissioning 
The setting of the transmission ratio selector is extremely important to commission the 
positioner.
 
 
 
Position of the transmission ratio selector 
1.  Move the carrier pin on the lever. Select the scale position equal to the nominal stroke or 
a next-higher position. 
2.  Tighten the carrier pin using the M6 hexagon nut. 
Connecting the positioner 
1.  Connect a suitable current or voltage source. The positioner is now in the "P manual 
mode". The current potentiometer voltage (P) in percent is shown in the upper line of the 
display, e.g.: "P12.3", and "NOINI" blinks in the lower line: 
 
2.  Connect the actuator and the positioner to the pneumatic lines. 
3.  Supply the pneumatic auxiliary power to the positioner.
