Final Control Elements

VALVE POSITIONER

(potentiometer feedback; external SSR drive)
Functions & Features
• Controlling an electric actuator powered with 100/ 200 V AC
• Feedback potentiometer 100 Ω – 10 kΩ
• Constant current output for driving external SSRs
• Timer for motor's overheat protection
• Re-transmitted output
Typical Applications
• Three phase AC motor
• Loop powered isolator can be used for isolating between setpoint input signal and transmitter output signal
