LY06 installation example

LY06 installation example

Installing LY06 with bracket

1. First of all, it is necessary to make proper bracket to attach on actuator yoke.
The most important things in making bracket are as follows.
1) LY06 feedback lever should be level at 50% of valve stroke. (Refer to no. 7 in
this chapter.)
2) Feedback lever connection bar of actuator clamp should be connected at the position
that valve stroke and the numbers carved on feedback lever is fitted. (Refer to no. 8 in
this chapter.)
If the bracket meets the above conditions, YT2300L is installed very easily.
2. Assemble YT2300L and bracket with bolts. Use standard bolts in bolt holes on the
backside of YT2300L. The standard of bolt screw is M8x1.25P and other bolt standards
are available as option. For details, contact our sales dept.

Installing YT2300L with bracket

3. After assembling LY06 and bracket with bolts, attach it with using bolt holes of
actuator yoke. But do not attach completely. There must be some space.

4. Install bar connected with YT2300L feedback lever on the actuator clamp. The slot
length between YT2300L feedback lever is 6.5mm, so the diameter of connection bar
should be less than 6.3mm.

Installation of actuator clamp and connection bar

5. Connect air filter regulator with the actuator temporarily. Set supply pressure of air
filter regulator in order that actuator clamp is positioned at 50% of valve stroke.

Connection of supply pressure pipe between actuator and air filter regulator

6. Insert connection bar attached on actuator clamp into the slot of YT2300L feedback
lever. Ensure that inserting should be the following picture in order to reduce hysterisis.

The connection bar inserted correctly between feedback lever and lever spring
7. Check if YT2300L feedback lever is level at 50% of valve stroke. If not, make it be
level with moving bracket or feedback link bar. If YT2300L is installed not being level at
50% of valve stroke, product linearity becomes worse.

Feedback lever being leveled correctly

8. Check valve stroke. The numbers indicating stroke are carved on the YT2300L
feedback lever. Set connection bar attached on actuator clamp on the number on
feedback lever applicable to valve stroke as the following picture. To set the connection
bar and the number, move the bracket attached on LY06 or connection bar from
side to side.
Stroke 30mm

Stroke 70mm
Installation position of connection bar for valve stroke
Note
After installation, operate valve from 0 stroke to 100% stroke with using air filter regulator
on the actuator. When the stroke is both 0% and 100%, feedback lever should not be
reached to the lever stopper on the backside of YT2300L. If feedback lever reaches to
the lever stopper, move attachment position of YT2300L to the direction becoming more
distant from yoke center.

Check whether or not lever stopper and feedback lever is contacted

9. If LY06 is installed accurately as above procedures, lock the bolts and nuts of
bracket and feedback lever connection bar completely.

RY06 installation
RY06 is used for rotary motion valve such as ball valve or butterfly valve using rack
and pinion, scotch yoke or complex type actuator whose stem is rotated 90 degrees.
RY06 consists of the following components.
1. RY06 main body
2. Fork lever and lever spring to attach on actuator
3. 1 set of bracket
4. 4pcs of Hexagon head bolt M8x1.25P
5. 4pcs of M8 plate washer

Installing YT2300R with bracket

YT2300R is supplied with standard bracket. The bracket is consists of 2 part and can
be used with Fork lever and Namur shaft. The bracket is assembled in the factory as
based on 20mm of actuator stem height. But if actuator stem height is higher than that
like 30mm, 50mm, reassemble the bracket adjusting to the height. Referring to the
following table, check the hole positions.

Ex) In case that H is 30mm, A-L should be locked in H:30 hole and B-L in H:20,30, A-R
in H:30, B-R in H:20,30 with bolts.

1. Usual types of actuator stem height (H) are 20, 30 and 50mm. After checking H,
assemble brackets as explained on the previous page. The bracket is set as 20mm type
in the factory.

Actuator stem height (H=20mm)

2. Attach bracket to the actuator using hexagon head bolts or wrench bolts. Diameter of
bracket bolt holes is 6mm. Use spring washers or any other equipment so as the bolts
not to be loosened by vibration or impact. The direction of bracket is different by
operating conditions, but normal direction is as following picture. That is, when the piping
of actuator and RY06 is direction A, bracket hole and indicator attached on the
bottom of RY06 main shaft should be same direction as being half circle.

Direction A
Attachment direction of bracket and actuator
3. Set rotation position of actuator stem as initial zero point which is stroke 0%. In case
of spring return type single actuator, since the actuator stem is always rotated at zero
point without supply pressure, it is easy to check zero point. If the actuator is double
acting, check that whether it is clockwise or counter clockwise or the rotation direction of
actuator stem with using supply pressure.
4. Set actuator stem as initial zero point and install fork lever as the following picture.
Ensure the position of initial zero point when actuator stem is clockwise or counter
clockwise. Installation angle of fork lever should be about 45 degree based on the linear
shaft. But the angle is not related to Namur shaft.

5. If the fork lever position is set, lock check nuts assembled on the bottom of fork lever
with turning clockwise. Set the upper height of fork lever as 6-11mm lower than bracket
upper height.

6. Attach YT2300R to the bracket. Fix the clamping pin on the main shaft center of RY06
into the hole of fork lever and insert connection bar attached on the main
shaft lever into fork lever slot to be locked fork lever spring. This is to fit the main shaft
of YT2300R and the center of actuator stem. If they are not fitted, product durability is
getting worse due to too much force on the main shaft of YT2300R.

7. Fix YT2300R base and the bracket with hexagon head bolts and plate washer. It is
better to lock the bracket and YT2300R after checking the position of YT2300R inserting
four bolts.

Assembly status of RY06

Piping connection
Note
1. To prevent moisture, oil and dust from being led into the product, give careful
consideration to the choice of supply pressure compressor and its system.
2. We recommend to attach filter or air filter regulator in front of supply port of YT2300R.

Conditions of supply pressure

1. Dry air whose dew point is at least 10 lower than that of ambient temperature.
2. Be free from solid particles as a result of being passed through 5 or finer filter.
3. Not contain oil or lubricating oil.
4. Comply with ANSI/ISA-57.3 1975(R1981) or ISA S7.3-1975(R1981).
5. Not used beyon the range of 1.4 - 7 kgf/  (140 - 700 kPA).
6. Set supply pressure of air filter regulator as 10% higher than operating pressure of
actuator of spring range pressure.
Conditions of pipe
1. Remove foreign objects inside of pipe.
2. Do not use squeezed or broken pipe.
3. To maintain flow rate of Positioner, use the pipe whose inner diameter is more than
6mm (outer diameter 10mm).
4. Do not connect the pipe too long. It affects flow rate due to the friction inside the
pipe.

Piping connection with actuator

Single acting actuator
The single acting type is set to use OUT1 port. Therefore, in case of using
single acting type of spring return actuator, OUT1 port should be connected with supply
pressure port of actuator.

Power connection
Note
1. Before connecting terminal, power must be shut off.
2. Use ring type terminal against oscillation, impact, etc.
3. These positioners (except transmitter included type) use DC 4-20mA as power. Minimum
supply current is 3.2mA (standard type) and 3.8mA (Hart type) and Maximum supply
current must not be exceeded 24mA.
4. In case of position transmitter type, additional power should be supplied to transmitter
separately. Supply voltage is 9-27V and must not be exceeded 30V.
5. In order to protect the product the ground terminals should be grounded.
6. Use twisted cable which conductor sectional area is 1.25 and is suitable for 600V
as on conductor table of NEC Article 310. Outer diameter of cable should be 6.35-10mm.
Use shield wire against electromagnetic wave and noise.
7. Do not install the cable near the equipment such as high-capacity transformer or motor
generating noise.
The following is terminal part.

3. In case of using inside ground, open cover by loosening 4pcs of M4 bolts of product
cover.
4. In order to maintain the ground safely, use ring type as ground cable terminal to
prevent it coming out.

A/M switch (Auto/Manual switch)

There is A/M switch on the bottom of Positioner. If this switch is set as auto, supply
pressure is transmitted to actuator by the operation of Positioner and if it is set as
manual, supply pressure of air filter regulator is transmitted to actuator regardless of
Positioner

* When A/M switch is set as manual, ensure that too much pressure must not be
transmitted to the actuator.
1. Check if the supply pressure of air filter regulator is too high.
2. Turn the switch clockwise and supply pressure of air filter regulator is transmitted to
actuator.
3. If turn the switch counter-clockwise, Positioner is operated normally.

Auto calibration and Basic operations

Warning : Since this makes valve or actuator move, before auto calibration valve must be
separated from entire system.

Button
Positioner perform various functions with using four buttons.
The shape and position of buttons are as follows.

<Enter> : It is used to go to Main menu, save adjusted parameter values or choose sub
menus.
<ESC> : It is used to return to previous menu.
<UP> : It is used to move to another menu or change parameter values.
<DOWN> : It is used to move to another menu or change parameter values.

RUN Mode
After connect power to Positioner, the following is displayed on LCD in 6 seconds.

 PV
Run mode 

currently displayed on LCD

Run on the bottom line means that Positioner adjust valve stroke with receiving outside
signal (4-20mA) and PV means the number on the LCD. In RUN mode, valve stroke is
changed according to input signal. There are six types displayed in Run mode.

In order to change display, push <ESC> and <UP> at same time. Whenever push the
button, display is changed in order. If push <ESC> and <DOWN> simultaneously, the
order is opposite and if push only <ESC>, display is returned to RUN mode.

First auto calibration

First auto calibration is usually used when Positioner has not been set, such as the
occasion of initial setting with valve at valve company or replacement with other product
in the field. In this case, entire parameters are set by using AUTO2 calibration.
Warning : When Positioner is installed on the valve in the field after setting, we
recommend to use 'AUTO1 calibration' than AUTO2 calibration. Because optimum
parameters are set by valve company, it is better that those registered parameters are
not changed by AUTO1 calibration.

(1) Connect power. Any values between 4 to 20mA (DC) can be used for power. After
connecting power 'READY 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1' message is appeared in order on LCD, which
means preparing time to operate PCB circuit and parts. The following message is
displayed in 6 seconds.

Push <ENTER> for 6 seconds at RUN mode and AUTO CAL

Auto 2 calibration (AUTO2)

All parameters necessary to operate valve are set. This calibration is used when
P o s i t i o n e r is first installed with valve. Refer to the chapter of first auto calibration.
Auto 3 calibration (AUTO3)
All parameters necessary to operate valve are set except zero and end point. This
function is used to re-execute auto calibration without changing zero and end point after
adjusting them manually.
(1) Push <DOWN> at AUTO2 and AUTO3 is displayed.
(2) Push <ENTER> and AUTO3 calibration is started. The next procedure of this
calibration is as same as other calibrations.
BIAS calibration
BIAS means standard value of motor control that is used in positioner. It is affected by
supply pressure, KP and other values and therefore it should be re-adjusted if supply
pressure or KP is changed. Unless this value is correctly set, accuracy can be very low.
(1) Push <DOWN> at AUTO3 mode and BIAS mode is displayed.
(2) Push <ENTER> and BIAS calibration is started. The next procedure of this calibration
is as same as other calibrations.
Velocity calibration (V_0)
This is the function to find the standard value to recognize accurate valve speed. Unless
this value is correctly set, KI control can be slower or impossible. In order to check if
this value is accurately set, push <ESC> at RUN mode and RUN Vel is displayed. At
this time the number on the bottom line on LCD indicates the value close to zero. (After
valve is stopped) Usually the number is between -2 to 2. If the number is over 5,
execute this function again and reset V_0 value.
(1) Push <DOWN> at BIAS mode and V_0 mode is displayed.
(2) Push <ENTEr> and V_0 calibration is started. The next procedure of this calibration is
as same as other calibrations.

Manual Mode
Manual mode is used to raise or lower the valve stem manually. At this mode valve
stroke is adjusted by only operating buttons not by current input signal. This mode
doesn't affect controlling data registered in Positioner and only makes to move valve stem
up and down.
(1) Keep pushing <ENTER> at RUN mode and AUTO CAL message is displayed.
(2) Push <DOWN> and MANUAL mode is displayed.
(3) Push <ENTER> again. Two lines on LCD are appeared. The upper one indicates
valve stroke by percentage and the lower one indicates absolute value of inner resistance
of Positioner. *MA means that Manual mode is in operation.
(4) Push <UP> or <DOWN> and valve stem moves up or down. Regardless of RA/DA, if
push <UP>, valve stem moves up (in case of linear valve) and if push <DOWN>, valve
stem moves down. In order to make the valve stem move fast, push <ENTER> with
<UP>, <DOWN>.

Parameter mode (PARAM)

Parameter types
There are four types in parameter of Dead Zone, KP, KI, KD.
These values are reflected as soon as they are changed, therefore the appropriate values
are found with checking valve's motion by real time.
Dead Zone (dEAdZONE)
This is the section of Error % that I control is not operated. If there are hunting or
oscillation continuously due to the friction between stem and packing, they are prevented
with this parameter.
KP
This is proportion constant value of correction that is correcting by Error %. If this value
is too big, there can be hunting though it finds position by input signal. If the value is
too small, accuracy gets worse.
KI
This is integral constant value adding or subtracting the correction that is correcting by
Error % on previous correction signal. If this value is too big, there can be oscillation. If
it is too small, the time to find the exact position gets longer.
KD
This is differential constant value adding previous correction signal with changing
correction signal by Error % change rate.
