5.3 SETTING OUTPUT LIMITS
5.3.1 General Principles
The Regulator provides mechanical output limits that prevent the output from underranging or overranging the process. When the Command Input is of a value that causes the stepper motor to drive against a limit, the clutch will allow the driveshaft to slip. After the motor has completed several revolutions, the software will turn it OFF to prevent clutch wear. The motor will remain OFF until the Command Input signal returns to a value that is within the set limits.
5.3.2 Test Setup
When a Remote Set Regulator leaves the factory, the low limit is set to about
5.3.3 Procedure
The method of setting the mechanical Hi and Lo Limit adjustments are described as follows:
1.Check that pressure supply to Remote Set Regulator is at proper value. Turn off dc power source (12 or 24 V dc) to Remote Set Regulator and remove Regulator Cover.
2.For all models, set switch
3.For Analog models, set jumpers W1 and W2 for Fail/Hold mode. See Section 3, Board Setup. Turn ON dc power source.
4.Locate two limit adjustment tangs on main gear assembly. Refer to Figure
5.Adjust dc test input level to approximately
6.If limit tangs were previously set at factory their positions on main gear will appear about as shown in Figure
7.Turn off dc power. Limits are set by estimating positions on main gear assembly. To set a limit, slightly lift edge of tang from teeth of main gear and carefully move tang to ap- proximate desired position. Release tang to lock its position. If access to a tang is blocked,
