EMERSON PD100 Smart Valve Positioner
General Purpose / Non-Incendive
Ingress Protection Ratings: IP66 / NEMA Type 4X
Wiring Diagram
Both control and position feedback signals are 4-20mA
WARNING
To reduce risk of death, serious injury or property damage:
- Personnel installing, maintaining, or operating this equipment must be qualified, must read, understand, and follow these instructions before proceeding.
- This document must be retained for future reference.
- Please contact local TopWorx representative for questions, clarifications, or comments.
Storage
Store the Positioner in a dry indoor environment within a relative humidity
range of 10% to 95% and within a temperature range of -29°F to 176°F (-34°C to
80°C). The Positioner will only support its IP/NEMA ratings when fully
installed
with Conduit, conduit plugs and any applicable spool valve port connections.
Installation Notes
The PD100 is suitable for use with rotary or linear, single or double, direct
or reverse action valve actuators. Depending on the model, the Positioner will
be supplied with a rotary NAMUR adaptor or linkages for linear valve
actuators. Always use sound mechanical practices when mounting the Positioner.
When fastening the unit to the bracket on the actuator, tighten the fasteners
to a minimum of 11 ft·lbs (15 Nm) of torque after cycling the valve a couple
of times. This allows the shaft to self-center in the pinion slot, or coupler.
Be cautious not to allow undue axial (thrust) load on the shaft.
This product ships with plastic covers installed in the conduit and pneumatic
connection holes to protect the internal components from debris during
shipment and handling. It is the responsibility of the receiving and/or
installation personnel to provide appropriate permanent sealing devices to
prevent the intrusion of debris, or moisture, when stored outdoors or when
installed. It is the responsibility of the installer, or end user, to install
this product in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70 or any
other national or regional code defining proper practices.)
Easy Setup (Auto-Calibration)
The PD100 can perform auto-calibration to determine all the parameters of the
valve, such as the open and closed positions and the PID values.
After removing the outer cover, auto-calibration is performed in three easy
steps:
- Press and hold the DOWN arrow key for 5 seconds. The display will show “FULL” then “SURE”.
- Press the ENTER key to start the auto-calibration process
Pneumatic Connection Procedure
Prior to connecting the supply air to the spool valve, flush the system to remove debris or contaminants. Galvanized pipe can easily flake and contaminate the system and therefore is not recommended for use with the PD100. A 50-micron point-of-use filter is recommended for use with every device an installation.
Notes
- Pneumatic hose couplings are not supplied with the positioner.
- The second OUT port is normally supplied plugged.
NOTICE
Special Conditions of Safe Use
Clean only with a damp cloth to prevent the possibility of electrostatic
discharge. Grounding the positioner is extremely important and highly
recommended. Two grounding points are provided, one internal and one external.
If a shielded cable is utilized, it is recommended to ground the shield at one
end only. The non-earthed end must be carefully insulated.
