PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Main Features and Functions

It is designed for high durability and performance
in high vibration environments.
Proven Durability.
Short and accurate response time.
Simple part change can set a 1/2 Split Range.
Economical due to less air-consumption.
Direct/Reverse action can be easily set.
Simple zero and span adjustment process.
Easy feedback connection.

Operation Logic
As the input signal is increased, the flapper (2) get pushed by the force of the torque-motor (1). As the
gap between the flapper (2) and the nozzle (3) increases, air pressure bleeds from the pilot valve (4)
and the spool (5). As a result, the spool (5) rises and simultaneously opens the seat (7). This allows air
pressure to discharge through port OUT1 to the actuator (10). As the actuators inner pressure increases,
the actuator stem (12) will move, pushing on the feedback lever (13). This movement is transferred to
the cam (14) and pulls on the feedback spring (16). At the point of balanced force exerted by the input
signal and the feedback spring, the gap between the flapper (2) and the nozzle (3) will decrease,
stopping the movement to the actuator.

INSTALLATION

Safety Warning

When installing the positioner, please ensure you read
and follow the safety instructions.
All input and supply pressure to valve, actuator,
and other related devices must be turned off.
Use the bypass valve or other equipment to avoid
an entire system shut down.
Make sure there is no remaining pressure in the
actuator.

YT-1000L Installation

YT-1000L should be installed on a linear motion valve
such as a globe or gate valve using a spring return
type diaphragm or piston actuator. Before installation,
be sure to check for the following installation
components.

1. YT-1000L main body
2. Feedback lever and lever spring
3. Flange nut (bottom side of YT-1000L)
4. 4 pcs. of hexagon head bolts (M8 X 1.25P)
5. 4 pcs. of M8 plate washer

Installation Steps:

1. A proper bracket must be made in order to attach
the positioner on the actuator yoke. Please consider
the following when making a bracket.
i) Feedback level should be leveled at 50% of the
valve stroke. (Refer to step 7.)
ii) Feedback lever connection bar of actuator clamp
should be installed at the position that the valve stroke
and number, indicated on the feedback, should be
fitted. (Refer to step 8.)

2. Attach YT-1000L to the bracket, which was
produced in the earlier step, by using bolts. (Figure 2)
Please refer to the backside of the product for size of
bolts. The standard size of bolt is M8 X 1.25P.

3. Attach YT-1000L (with bracket) to the actuator yoke.
DO NOT TIGHTEN COMPLETLEY.

4. Connect YT-1000L feedback lever to the actuator
clamp. The gap on the YT-1000L feedback lever is
6.5mm. The connection bar thickness should be less
than 6.3mm. (Figure 3)

5. Connect the air filter regulator to the actuator tem-
porarily. Set supply pressure of the regulator in order
to position the actuator clamp at 50% of the valve
stroke.

6. Insert connection bar into the YT-1000L feedback
lever. The connection bar should be inserted at the
50% point on the feedback lever, which would help to
reduce hysteresis.
(Figure 5)

7. If the connection bar does not point at the 50%
point, then adjust the bracket or feedback link bar
position. Failure to position at 50% would lower the
linearity of the positioner.
(Figure 6)

8. Check valve stroke. The stroke numbers are
indicated on the feedback lever. Position the
connection bar at the number on the feedback lever
according to the valve stroke. To adjust, move the
bracket or connection bar.
(Figure 7)
Stroke 70mm

NOTE: After installing the YT-1000L, operate the valve
from 0% to 100% stroke by using the air filter regulator
on the actuator. Both at 0% and 100%, the feedback
lever should not touch the lever stopper, which is
located on the backsideof the YT-1000L.
(Figure 8)

If the feedback lever touches the lever stopper,
YT-1000L should be installed further away from the
center of the yoke.

9. After the proper installation, tighten all the bolts on
the bracket, the feedback lever, and the connection
bar.

PIPING CONNECTION

NOTE:
To avoid moisture, oil, or dust from entering the
product, please carefully select the supply
pressure compressor.

Supply Pressure Condition

1. Dry air with at least 10C lower than ambient
temperature.
2. Keep away from dusty air. Filter can only sort 5
micron or larger.
3. Avoid oil.
4. Comply with ANSI/ISA-57.3 1975(R1981).
5. Not to be used beyond the range of
1.4 - 7 kgf/cm
2
(20 - 100 Psi).
6. Set air filter regulators supplied pressure 10%
higher than actuators spring range pressure.

Pipe Condition

1. Make sure the inside of the pipe is empty.
2. Do not use pipeline that is squeezed or has holes.
3. To maintain flow rate, use the pipeline that has
more than a 6mm inner diameter.
4. Do not use an extremely long pipeline system. It
may affect flow rate due to the friction inside the
pipeline.

Piping Connection with Actuator

YT-1000 series single acting type is set out to use
OUT1 port. OUT1 port should be connected with the
supply pressure port from the actuator when using
single acting type spring return actuator. For double
acting, the piping connection can be changed due to
the operation direction. Please refer to the following
diagrams when piping.
(Figures 9 - 11)

POWER CONNECTION

Connection - Connection Port

1. Connection port size is 1/2 NPT.

NOTE: REFER TO THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL
CODE FOR HAZARDOUS WIRING METHODS.

Connection Power

1. Open the terminal box cover.
2. Locate the poles and connect them properly.
Make sure to fasten the connection.
3. Close the terminal box cover. (Figure15)

ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment - Zero Point

1. Set supply signal at 4mA or 20mA and rotate
adjuster clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the
actuators initial point. When setting the initial point,
the specification of valve and system must be taken
into account. Please refer to Figure 17 for
increase/decrease of the zero point.

2. When a single acting actuator with spring is used,
please check if the pressure level, which is indicated
on the positioner, is the same as the supplied pressure
level.

Adjustment - Span

1. After setting zero, supply 20mA or 4mA of signal.
Check the actuators stroke. If the stroke is too low,
adjust the span towards the (+) direction.
If the stroke point is too high, adjust the span towards
the (-) direction. (Figure 18)
2. Changing span points affects the zero point setting,
so the zero setting must be set again. After setting
zero point, confirm the span point. This step must be
repeated until both points are properly set.
3. After setting is completed, tighten lock screw.

Adjustment - A/M Switch (Auto/Manual)

1. A/M switch adjusts the valve operation to automatic
or manual.
2. When produced, YT-1000L is set at A(Automatic).
If user prefers the positioner setting as M(Manual),
the setting can be changed by turning the switch
counter-clockwise. (Figure 19)
3. If it is set as M(Manual), the air pressure will be
supplied to the actuator directly. Always set back to
A(Automatic) after setting change.
4. If OUT2 in single acting actuator or double acting
actuator is used, the A/M switch will not operate.

Adjustment - Seat Adjuster

1. Seat adjustment is set according to the customers
request before the positioner is delivered. Please do
not adjust the seat adjuster.
2. Seat adjuster is always used for double acting
actuators and adjusted when the pressure balance
point must be changed. Please do not touch the seat
adjuster, because it can affect the positioners
performance.

Adjustment - Orifice

1. If the size of the actuator is too small relative to the
flow rate, the positioner can have hunting. In order to
avoid hunting, orifice can be used. There are three
types of orifice.

the o-ring. Make sure there are not any substances
entering into the port. (Figure 21)

3. If hunting persists after inserting the orifice, please
contact CVS Controls Ltd. or its appropriate agent.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Positioner does not respond to the input
signal.

1. Check supply pressure level. The lever must be at
least 1.4 kgf/cm
2.
For spring return type actuator, the
supply pressure level has to be larger than the springs
specification.
2. Check if the input signal is properly supplied to the
positioner. The signal should be 4~20mA DC.
3. Check if zero pint or span point is properly set.
4. Check if the positioners nozzle has been blocked.
Also, check if the pressure is supplied to
the positioner and the pressure is being exhausted
through the nozzle. If the nozzle has been blocked by
any substances, please send the product for repair.
5. Check if the feedback lever has been installed
properly.

The pressure of OUT1 reaches exhausting
pressure level and does not decrease.

1. Check A/M Switch. If the switch has been damaged,
replace the switch or pilot relay valve.
2. Check for a gap or damages between the nozzle
and the flapper. If damaged, pleae contact
CVS Controls Ltd.

The pressure is exhausted only by the A/M
switch.

1. Check if the positioners nozzle has been
blocked. Also, check if the pressure is supplied
to the positioner and the pressure is being
exhausted through the nozzle. If the nozzle has been
blocked by any substances, please contact
CVS Controls Ltd.

Linearity is too low

1. Check if the positioner is properly positioned.
Especially if the feedback lever is parallel to the
ground at 50% point.
2. Check if zero and span point have been properly
adjusted. If either one of the values is being adjusted,
another one must be adjusted as well.
3. Check if the supply air pressure level is stable from
the regulator. If the level is unstable, the regulator
must be replaced.

Hysteresis is too low

1. In case of a double acting actuator, check if seat
adjustment has been properly performed. Please
contact CVS for any further inquiries regarding the
seat adjustment.
2. Backlash can ccur when the feedback lever and
lever spring loosen. To avoid backlashing, please
adjust the lever spring.
3. Check if the connection bar to the feedback lever is
tightly fastened.
