Operating Principle
When the input current (4 to 20mADC) increases, the current which is applied to the coil of the
torque motor (12) through the input, operation and output processing circuits (8) changes, causing
the armature (13) to start rotating with the fulcrum of the leaf spring (11). Along with this, a gap is
created between nozzle (6) and flapper (5), and nozzle back pressure decreases.
As a result, the exhaust valve (7) inside of pilot valve (1) moves to the right, pressure at OUT1
increases and pressure at OUT 2 decreases, causing actuator (14) to move. The motion of actuator
(14) is transmitted through the fork lever-type fitting, feedback shaft (10) and angle sensor (9). The
displacement processing output circuit (8) then matches the input current to the corresponding
output position.

How to Operation B

IP8101 positioner can be operated by two methods, by the operation button (mode, up, down)
installed in the positioner and HART communication (option). Refer to this operation manual for the
operation with operation button and refer to “HART communication function” in the operation
manual separately for the HART communication.

Mounting

! Warning
1. Confirm the positioner is securely and firmly mounted onto the actuator.
2. Be careful not to get a finger caught when matching mounting positions.

! Caution
1. Be sure to keep the necessary space available for maintenance work (piping, wiring,
adjustment, etc.) in your setup location.
2. Cut off the pressure supply to ensure compressed air is discharged from the positioner
and actuator completely before starting mounting.
3. When removing the positioner from the actuator and mounting it onto another actuator, B
malfunctions may occur due to its remained initial constant. Therefore, when it is mounted
onto other actuators, transmit the input signal while cutting the air supply, and be sure to
perform Simple balance current adjustment through the calibration mode (parameter
code: C20). Then apply the air while biAS is indicated on the LCD and perform the Simple
balance adjustment (parameter code: C20) and calibration (parameter code: C30).

■Example of Mounting on Actuator

IP610, IP6100 and IP8100 offer interchangeability in mounting pitch with IP8101 smart positioner.
Therefore, it is possible to apply a bracket for IP610, IP6100 and IP8100 for mounting＊1. However, if
IP6100 is replaced with this positioner and accessory H (with an external scale plate) is selected, it
is necessary to lower the position of the fork lever-type fitting.

Piping

! Warning

Do not touch near the actuator axis when supplying air after piping.

! Caution

1. Perform sufficient pipe flushing and remove cutting chips, oil and dust from the piping to
prevent foreign matter from entering the positioner.
2. When connecting an SMC fitting to an air connection port (SUP, OUT1, OUT2), apply a
tightening torque of 12 to 14Nm. The tightening torque must be suitable for the tube fitting
in use.

■Double Acting Actuator

Perform piping on the positioner and actuator in the following manner. Also, when piping in cases
where the actuator rotates clockwise with the appropriate parameter setting (dir)
(direct operation)＊1. For the piping layout, refer to “Double acting” in Table 6.

(1) Connect the pressure supply piping to the positioner SUP port.
(2) Connect the OUT1 port of the positioner to the air port of the double acting actuator (which
rotates clockwise as pressure increases) and the OUT2 port of the positioner to the air port of
the double acting actuator (which rotates counterclockwise as pressure increases).

■Single Acting Actuator

Perform piping of the positioner and actuator in the following manner. Also, when piping in cases
where the actuator axis is located at the end of counterclockwise rotation with a spring force and the
actuator rotates clockwise with appropriate parameter setting (dir) (direct operation)＊1. For the
piping layout, refer to “Single acting” in Table 6.

(1) Connect the pressure supply piping to the positioner SUP port.
(2) Connect the positioner OUT1 port to single acting actuator air port.
(3) Plug the OUT2 port.

1: The positioner operating direction can be changed by the parameter settings (parameter code: 200). For
parameter details, refer to “■Parameter Code Details”. At such times, changing the piping is unnecessary.
The settings described in this section decide the operating direction via the appropriate parameter
settings (dir).

2: Calculate the maximum load resistance compatible with analog output from the specifications table (Table
2) and following equation (Common for both non-explosion protected specification and intrinsic safety
type of explosion protected construction specification).

<Ex.: Analog output>

Power supply voltage of 24V DC,
Load resistance ＝ (24V DC－10V DC) / 24mA DC = 583Ω (Up to 0 to 583Ω)

3: Alarm output for non-explosion protected specification requires 10mADC or more to operate the main
circuit of the internal switch, and it should be 40mADC or less to protect the internal resistance circuit.
Therefore, use a power supply voltage and load resistance with a load current of 10 to 40mADC when the
output is on.

<Ex.: Alarm output 1>

Power supply voltage 24V DC and load resistance 1kΩ (+ internal resistance 350Ω),
Load current = 24V DC / (1kΩ + 350Ω) = Approx. 18mA DC

4: Determination of load resistance of alarm output for intrinsic safety type of explosion protected C
construction specification.

<Ex.: Alarm output 1>

Power supply voltage 24V DC,
Load current = 24V DC – 5V DC / 3.15mA DC = 6080Ω (Up to 0 to 6.08kΩ)

ATEX Intrinsic Safety Type of Explosion Protected Construction C

! Warning
1. A positioner must be energized only after wiring via a barrier.
2. Use a linear resistance type barrier based on intrinsically safe parameter for the input circuit.
3. If a positioner is used as intrinsic safety type of explosion protected construction for ATEX,
connect it only to the intrinsically safety electric circuit with the following maximum value.
Parameter (current circuit): Ui≦28V、Ii≦100mA、Pi≦0.7W、Ci≦12.5nF、Li≦1.5mH
4. This positioner becomes ATEX intrinsic safety type of explosion protected construction when
its part number is selected as 52-IP8101-034--. The basic type (IP8101-030-*), output
function type (IP8101-032), and HART communication type (IP8101-033) must not be used
in a place with an explosion risk.
5. Positioner has an aluminium alloy enclosure. When used in a potentially explosive atmosphere F
requiring the use of category 1G equipment, the apparatus must be installed so that, in the
event of rare incidents, an ignition source due to impact or friction is excluded.
6. Do not use it in a non-hazardous area where air leakage would cause a risk.
7. If a positioner is used in a hazardous area, speed of the actuating part should be 1m/s or less.
The actuator should not have hunting.
8. Make sure to use a grounding terminal, and grounding should be performed based on an
electric work policy in each region.
9. The temperature at a positioner surface should not be increased more than the temperature
rate by direct sunshine.
10. To maintain explosion protected construction, the electric circuit should not be changed.
11. Safety Barriers used in the positioner supply circuit must be linear resistive output type D
barriers, in accordance with the I.S. Parameters given in the specifications (see Table 1).
12. Explosion protected cable gland supplied for M20X1.5 electrical connections (for D
52-IP8101-034-*-M) is approved to ATEX II 2GD, but subsequently tested by the notified
body in accordance with ATEX II 1GD during certification of the 52-IP8101 positioner.

■ATEX Intrinsic Safety type of Explosion Protected Construction

IP8101 type smart positioner has an explosion protected construction which was approved by
H
DEKRA, a notified body for explosion protected certification, as ATEX compliant intrinsic safety
type of explosion protected construction. Please pay full attention when it is used as an explosion
protected construction specification.

■Explosion Protected Construction Rate F

The 52-IP8101 model is compliant with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, Intrinsically Safe type of H
Construction, toⅡ1G Ex iaⅡC T4-T6 Ga classification, T4/T5 -20℃≦Ta≦80℃ T6 -20℃≦Ta≦
60℃ according to EN 60079-0:2012+A11:2013,EN 60079-11:2012 AND EN ISO 80079-36:2016.

■Wiring
If 52-IP8101 type smart positioner is used as a intrinsic safety type of explosion protected construction, a E
barrier must be set at non-hazardous area like Fig. 12, and each positioner must have wiring via the
barrier. For wiring the positioner 52-IP8101-034-*-M/2/5, the attached cable gland (M20x1.5) should be
used for the electrical entry (see Fig. 13). Except for the positioners 52-IP8101-034-*-M/2/5, a cable Ｆ
gland that has the same explosion protected construction rate or better as those positioners.

! Warning

Pay attention to your surroundings when performing the initial adjustment because it causes
the positioner to automatically move the actuator.

■Change of Parameters for Initial Operation

When an input current of 4 to 20mA DC is initially applied after purchasing＊1, the LCD shows “Not
calibrated” (not CAL) because no adjustment is performed after mounting and transferring to auto
mode is unavailable (Fig. 20)＊2. Perform the initial adjustment according to the following procedure.
The initial adjustment is performed by applying an optional input current of 4 to 20mA DC＊3. During
adjustment, errors may occur. In such cases, hold down the set button ( ＋ ) for 1sec. or longer
to return to the previous calibration mode, and then continue the adjustment referring to the “■Error

Referring to the LCD indication, the fully-closed position /
fully-open position of an actuator should be adjusted to be
between -60 to 60.
(C20) Simple adjustment for balance current
Balance current for a torque motor can be adjusted. After rotating
a balance adjustment screw until a pressure gauge for OUT 1
indicates 0MPa, rotate the adjustment screw until pressure starts
increasing again.

4mADC=0 and 20mADC=100 cannot be achieved. This
adjustment is not necessary in general.
(C60) Confirmation of balance current
Adjustment of balance current can be confirmed. If adjustment is
good (Good), the balance current is adjusted correctly. If
adjustment is high (HI) or low (Lo), the balance current needs to
be adjusted again.
(C70) Span adjustment
Zero point / span for a positioner can be adjusted. PID constant
will not be set unlike automatic calibration (C30). This adjustment
is useful when zero point / span needs to be adjusted again with
the PID constant set before.

16: If operation direction is changed by exchanging piping of OUT1 and

 Scale Plate Adjustment

! Caution

(1) Attention should be taken not to have finger caught between the indicator and scale plate
during position adjustment of the scale plate.
(2) Scale plate edge is sharp. Attention should be taken.

(1) After adjusting the positioner zero/span, mount the scale plate to DA surface (Direct operation)
or RA (Reversed operation) in correct direction (See Fig. 47).
(2) Stop the actuator open degree in the middle (50% of positioner input current), and adjust the
indicator position so that the indicator position match with gauge at 50% (See Fig. 48). If
indicator position does not match with 50% of the gauge even if adjusted, adjust the fork lever
unit angle correctly referring “■Initial Adjustment” ＊1.
(3) Confirm if the indicator indicate 0% and 100% of the gauge at the start and end of the actuator. If
it does not, loosen the cross recessed socket head screw for mounting to the dial using a
spanner, then slide the scale plate (See Fig. 49, 50).

Maintenance and Check

! Warning

① After installation, repair and disassembling, connect compressed air and perform a proper
function test and leak test. If bleed noise is louder than the initial state or operation is
abnormal, stop operation and check if installation is proper or not. Modification of electrical
construction is prohibited due to maintaining Explosion-Protected construction function.

! Caution

① Check if supply air is clean. Inspect compressed air cleaning system periodically and maintain
keep condition to always get supply clean air so that dust, oil and humidity which cause
malfunction and failure do not enter the equipment.

② If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Maintenance and replacement of

unit parts should be performed only by trained and experienced personnel for instrumentation
equipment as well as following the product specifications.

③ Check the positioner once a year. When you find excessively worn diaphragm. O-ring and
other seals or any unit that has been damaged replace with new units. Treatment at an
early stage is especially important if the positioner is used in a place of severe
environment like coastal area.

④ Before removing the positioner for maintenance or replacing unit parts after installation, make
sure the supply pressure is shut off and all residual air pressure is released from piping.

⑤ When the fixed orifice is clogged with carbon particles or others, remove the pilot valve
unit Auto/Manual switch screw (built-in fixed orifice) and clean it by inserting a φ0.2 wire
into the aperture. If it must be replaced with new one, stop the supply pressure and
remove the stopper screw of the pilot valve unit.

⑥ The pilot valve unit (P565010-303) should be replaced in accordance with the following
instructions. As a standard, it should be replaced every 3 years.
1. Shut off the supply pressure and input current to the positioner.
2. Remove the body cover unit with a phillips head screwdriver.
3. Loosen the 4 pieces of the M4 screws fixing the pilot valve unit and remove it.
4. After the pilot valve unit has been removed, it should be reassembled in the order
of 3 to 1.

⑦ When the pilot valve unit is disassembled, apply a small amount of specified grease to H
the sliding surface.

⑧ Check air leak from piping which compressed air flows. Air leak from air piping could
deteriorate characteristics. Air is normally discharged from a bleed port, but this is a necessary
air consumption based on the construction of the positioner, and is not an abnormality if the air
consumption is within the specified range.

No.DIG-31900-OM002
Caution on Handling

■Operation
! Warning

① If the system is supposed to be in danger because of failure of the positioner, prepare the
system with a safety circuit to avoid danger.
② Do not place electrical wiring in hazardous places while energized.

! Caution

① To prevent risks while pressure is supplied, do not touch areas surrounding driving
components such as actuators and valves.
② Be sure to mount the body cover unit when using the positioner. IP 65 cannot be
guaranteed if the mounting condition of the body cover is incorrect. To achieve IP
capability, tighten the screws with the appropriate torque (2.8 to 3.0Nm）
③ Balance current will change depending on the positioner orientation and supply pressure.
Adjust the balance current (parameter code: C60) every time the orientation and supply
pressure changes.
④ Adequately flush the inside of the piping before arranging it to prevent foreign substances
like chips from intruding into the positioner.
⑤ If the input current is shut off during use, the output of OUT1 will become 0MPa and the
output of OUT2 will reach its maximum regardless of the operating direction of the
parameter mode (parameter code: 200), whether direct or in reverse.
⑥ If reverse operation is selected in parameter mode (parameter code: 200), when power
supply is turned off, OUT1 output will become 0MPa and the positioner will start moving
toward input current 20mADC direction.
⑦ Immediately after the input current has been applied, it may take some time until the
positioner begins to operate.
⑧ Depending on the parameter’s setting, the actuator will erratically extend when an input
current of 4mA DC is applied.
⑨ The actuator opening might be unstable when a booster relay is used.
⑩ Although the operating direction can be changed by a parameter setting, the piping
should usually be replaced in such cases. In addition, when reverse mode (parameter
code: 200) is used, OUT1 output will become 0MPa and the actuator moves in the
direction of input current 20mA DC once the power supply has been shut off.
⑪ When replacing piping to change the operating direction, be sure to perform span
adjustment (parameter code: C70).
⑫ Be sure to use grounding to prevent noise from interrupting input current and static
electricity from breaking the positioner.
⑬ There is a capacitor for noise prevention between FG terminal (case) and each input /
output terminal of the positioner respectively. Therefore, avoid conducting withstand
voltage test or insulation resistance test between these terminal and case.

67
No.DIG-31900-OM002
■Handling
! Caution

① Avoid giving impact to the body and torque motor of positioner, and giving excessive force to
armature because it leads to failure. Handle with care during transport and operation.
② When the positioner is used in places subject to vibrations, it is recommended that a tie
wrap be used to prevent the lead wires from breaking.
③ If the positioner is left unused at the operation site for an extended period, ensure the
body cover unit is fitted, and mount a plug on the wiring and piping ports. If the
atmosphere is of high temperature or high humidity, take measures to avoid condensation
inside. The condensation control measures must be taken thoroughly for export
shipment.
④ When removing the positioner from the actuator and mounting it onto another actuator, B
malfunctions may occur due to its remained initial constant. Therefore, when it is
mounted onto other actuators, transmit the input signal while cutting the air supply, and
be sure to perform Simple balance current adjustment through the calibration mode
(parameter code: C20). Then apply the air while biAS is indicated on the LCD and
perform the Simple balance adjustment (parameter code: C20) and calibration
(parameter code: C30).

■Air Supply
! Caution

① Use dehumidified and dust-removed clean air as the supplying air source.
② Positioner has fine paths in it. Therefore please use clean air which is dehydrated and
filtered, and also avoid employing Lubricator which causes malfunction. In addition, it is
recommended to use a mist separator as an air-cleaning equipment. F
③ Avoid using compressed air containing chemicals, synthetic fluid including organic
solvent, salinity, and corrosive gas as it may cause malfunction.
④ If atmosphere is below freezing point, take measure to avoid condensation.

■Environment
! Caution

① Do not use in an environment where the product is exposed to corrosive gas, chemicals, salt
water, water or steam.
② If the positioner is used under temperature outside of the specification, the sealing
materials deteriorate quicker and also the positioner may not operate normally.
