Programming notes
The positioner fitted to this control valve requires programming. A minimum input signal of 3.6 mA is required
to power the positioner. To program the positioner it is necessary to enter SP400 MENU and carry out an
autostroke commissioning routine (AUTOS) prior to putting the control valve into automatic operation.
A flow chart is included in Section 8 to guide you through the procedure. The display provides a flag indication
of the active main menu function.
To enter SP400 MENU press and hold key for 3 seconds. The display will count down the 3 seconds.
Commissioning notes
Main menu functions include:
SP400 MENU
View software version, mounting position check, reset default values.

run time. Also provides route for returning to SP400 MENU.
Note: SET, TUNE and RUN functions are restricted and can only be accessed on completion of a

9. Programming and commissioning
In order to make commissioning as fast and simple as possible, you can run the autocalibration
routine directly from the following menus: SETUP NOW, SP400 MENU, MANOP, SET, RUN.
Keep the key pressed for 6 seconds and the autostroke will start. At the end of the routine
the positioner will enter into automatic mode and move the valve according to the current
signal received. This means that once you have checked the functionality and safety of the
assembly, you can commission the valve by just pressing one button.
