1.1 General
SP405 is a pneumatic valve positioner for an input signal of 20-100 kPa
(3-15 psi). The easily exchangeable cam disc is available in various types for
different valve characteristics, opening angles, as well as for split range 20-60 or
60-100 kPa (3-9 or 9-15 psi) (➔ Tab.4-1)
The positioner is mainly designed to fit the SOMAS range of valves and actuators
but can easily be adapted to other valve types with a rotation of 60°-90°.
A yellow indicator under the transparent cover indicates the opening angle of the
valve. The indicator shows open valve when parallel to the pipeline.
Different valve openings are indicated in the cover. The covers of the valve
positioner and the I/P-converter are sealed with O-rings. Evacuation of the excess
air inside the positioner is done through a preloaded diaphragm in the housing.
(A separate flush-proof evacuation diaphragm is fitted on the underside of the
housing).

1.2 Function
A pneumatic control signal (0.2-1.0 bar) acts on the diaphragm (➔ Fig.1-2/41)
and via the balance arm (➔ Fig.1-2/46) the slide (➔ Fig.1-2/40) at the pilot valve is
controlled. When the control signal increases, the pilot valve distributes supply
air to one side of the piston while the other side is vented.
The cam disc (➔ Fig.1-2/32), which is infinitely variable to the shaft (➔ Fig.1-2/26),
transmits the rotary motion of the actuator to the feedback arm (➔ Fig.1-2/35).
The feedback arm acts on a compression spring (➔ Fig.1-2/53) against the balance
arm and when there is a balance between the force from the diaphragm
(➔ Fig.1-2/41) and the force from the feedback spring, a new balanced position is
established. Range adjustment is done with the adjustment screw (➔ Fig.1-2/7).
The zero point can be adjusted from the outside by the zero point screw
(➔ Fig.1-2/50). (➔ Chap.3.1)

2.1 General
The electropneumatic valve positioner type SPE405 is built on a concept where the
pneumatic version type SP405 is completed with an I/P-converter.

2.2 Function
The function of the SPE405 is identical to that of the SP405. The difference is that
the pneumatic input signal comes from the attached I/P-converter.
The function of the I/P-converter is as follows: When the electric input signal
increases or decreases the magnetic force of the coil (➔ Fig.2-2/117) is influenced,
which in turn affects the position of the flapper (➔ Fig.2-2/106) against the nozzle
(➔ Fig.2-2/113). This function controls the internal pressure system of the I/P-
converter, which in turn will affect the pneumatic signal into the valve positioner
(SP405). At increasing current signal/input signal the flapper moves closer to the
nozzle and the air pressure acting on the diaphragm (➔ Fig.2-1/41) increases.
Adjustment of range and zero is performed in the same way as for the SP405.

Procedure
1. Make sure the positioner has not been damaged during transportation or
installation.
i
Note
The supply air must be clean and dry instrument air and have a constant pressure within the
range of 4–8 bar (60–120 psi).

2. To adjust the basic position of the cam disc, loosen the screws (➔ Fig.3-2/33) and (➔ Fig.3-2/73)
and position the cam disc in accordance with point 1 above. At correct position, tighten the
screws.
3. Keep the input signal 4mA, 20 kPa, 3 psi. Fine tuning of zero adjustment is done with the screw
(➔ Fig.3-2/50), which can be reached through the cover (➔ Fig.3-2/31). If friction is high loosen
the screw (➔ Fig.3-2/48)
4. Change the input signal to 20mA, 100 kPa, 15 psi. For range adjustment, loosen the screw
(➔ Fig.3-2/33) and the lock nut (➔ Fig.3-2/76). Adjust the curve height by means of the
adjustment screw (➔ Fig.3-2/7). Actuator shall go to end stop open position. In case of
a big adjustment of screw (➔ Fig.3-2/7), check again clearance between ball bearing and
cam disc in close position 4mA, 20 kPa, 3 psi. If outside range 0,5-2 mm go back to point 1
and recalibrate zero point.
5. When the adjustment of zero and range is completed, make sure the screw (➔ Fig.3-2/33)
and the lock nut (➔ Fig.3-2/76) are tightened.
6. The zero point adjustment screw is equipped with an adjustable friction-locking device.
For adjustment, use the screw (➔ Fig.3-2/48). After calibration completed tighten the screw
(➔ Fig.3-2/48).
i
Note
At reverse function, AC, use the adjustment screw (➔ Fig.3-2/7) for zero adjustment and the zero
point screw (➔ Fig.3-2/50) for range adjustment.

4 Maintenance
The positioner is in principle maintenance-free.
The supply air for positioners must be mechanically clean and free from oil and
water and have a constant pressure. Faulty operation is mostly due to contamina
tion of the supply air. The supply air must have a constant pressure within the
range of 4-6 bar (60-90 psi).
Procedure
1. Loosen the screws (➔ Fig.4-1/39) and carefully remove the pilot valve. Remove
the screw (➔ Fig.4-1/74) that keeps the pilot valve together. 74
2. Handle the components with care and pull out the slide (➔ Fig.4-1/40). Wash
72
housing and slide with solvent and blow clean.
3. Remove the filter (➔ Fig.4-1/23) located under the pilot valve, and the O-rings 40
(➔ Fig.4-1/72). Wash with solvent of type acetone and blow clean.

Procedure
2. Insert a thin paper strip between the flapper (➔ Fig.4-2/106) and the nozzle
(➔ Fig.4-2/113). Move the paper strip back and forth a few times.
4. Put the circuit card carefully aside and lift up the I/P-converter.
