Electropneumatic Positioner Type 4763

Pneumatic Positioner Type 4765

Application
Single-acting positioner for attachment to pneumatic control
valves. Reference variable is either a standardized electric
signal from 4(0) to 20 mA or 1 to 5 mA (Type 4763) or a
pneumatic standardized signal from 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi)
(Type 4765).
Rated travels from 7.5 to 90 mm

The positioners ensure predetermined assignment of the valve

stem position (controlled variable x) to the electric or pneumatic
input signals (reference variable w) supplied by the controller.
They compare the input signal coming from the controller to the
travel of the control valve and produce the corresponding
pneumatic output signal pressure pst (output variable y).
Special features include:
Compact, low-maintenance design
Any mounting position possible
Resistant to mechanical vibrations
Reversible operating direction
Excellent dynamic behavior
Suitable for normal or split-range operation
Adjustable proportional band (P-band)
Adjustable air output capacity
Low energy consumption
Attachment to valves with cast yokes or rod-type yokes according
to IEC 60534-6.
Optionally available with two pressure gauges for monitoring
the supply air and the signal pressure. Pressure gauge housings
made of stainless steel. Connecting piece optionally nickel
plated or made of stainless steel.
The Type 4765 Pneumatic Positioner can be subsequently
modified to an electropneumatic positioner.

Principle of operation
The only difference between the Type 4765 Pneumatic Positioner and the Type 4763 Electropneumatic Positioner is that an
electropneumatic (i/p) converter has been added to the latter in
order to convert the electric signal received from a controller
into a proportional pneumatic signal.
These positioners use a flapper-nozzle system which operates
according to the force-balance principle. They can be applied
for both normal and split-range operation.
Operating direction
When the reference variable (pe) increases, the pneumatic
output signal pressure pst can be selected to be increasingincreasing (direct action >>) or increasing-decreasing (reverse
action <>). The operating direction depends on the position of
the nozzle block that can be turned by 180. The visible mark
(>> or <>) indicates the respective operating direction. If the
operating direction or the fail-safe position is to be subsequently
modified, note that the positioner must also be mounted at a
different position (Figs. 5 to 8)!
Attachment according to IEC 60534-6 and NAMUR
The various ways in which the positioner can be attached to the
actuator correspond to the IEC 60534-6 and NAMUR recommendation. Positioners may be attached to valves with either
cast yokes (e.g. SAMSON Series 240) or rod-type yokes.
Each type of attachment requires special mounting hardware.

Combining the positioner and the actuator

Figs. 5 to 8 schematically illustrate the arrangement of the
actuator, the mounting position of the positioner, the reference
variable, and the operating direction.
Fail-safe action
The pneumatic actuators (Type 3271 and Type 3277) are
available with the following fail-safe actions. They move the
valve in the predetermined position whenever the signal pressure decreases or air supply fails:
Actuator stem "extends" (Figs. 5, 6)
Whenever the pressure acting on the diaphragm decreases or
air supply fails, the compression springs installed in the actuator
force the actuator stem to extend to the lower end position.
Actuator stem "retracts" (Figs. 7, 8)
Same as above, except: the compression springs force the
actuator stem to retract into the upper end position.
For additional details, see Data Sheets T 8310 EN and T 8311 EN.
Figs. 5 to 8 illustrate the different operating directions and the
mounting positions of the positioner. "Right..." and "Left attachment" apply when looking onto the lever (1) and plate (2).
