Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The ACP301 - Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator, was designed by Smar to fit the growing demand from
the industries, mainly to what concerns the control applications for pneumatic cylinders.
The ACP301 - Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator allies the power of pneumatic cylinders to the FY301
microprocessed positioner capabilities, allowing the cylinder to be applied for modulating control.
The ACP301 modularity design is suitable for a wide range of cylinders through a unique solution
for mounting brackets for an unnumbered variety of applications.
The ACP301 - Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator is presented in different sizes, being selected
according to the application and required travel. There are two available models: Linear and Rotary.
By using the FY301 valve positioner assembled to a double action pneumatic cylinder, with a non-
contact linear or rotary magnet via Hall effect, it is possible to overcome the natural difficulties of a
pneumatic cylinder to stop between the ends of his travel, promoting the modulating control on the
final element.
The final control elements could be dampers (for furnace draft), sluices and huge control valves,
besides other applications requiring torque and powered controlled movement.
The ACP301 receives a 4-20 mA from a controller to drive the cylinder for an accurate required
position, as per the control loop strategy and tuning. They bring the intelligence to the cylinder, the
ACP allows to the user to configure the final element opening characteristic. For more sophisticated
applications, the user can configure a customized curve for up to 16 points.
Additionally, the communication benefits on Hart®, Fieldbus, and Profibus™ open wide possibilities
to link the field installations to the control room, with direct impact on installation cost reduction and
lower operation and maintenance cost.
Get the best results of the ACP301 by carefully reading the instructions of this manual.

Installation
Installation
The installation must consider the facilities for connection to the final control element, having
enough space to allow smooth operation and further maintenance on the actuator and final control
element.
Linear ACP
When necessary assembling in the field, position + ACP set, follow the installation procedures.
Assembling Procedure
The following instructions show the procedure for the ACP301LN - Linear Pneumatic Cylinder
Actuator:
Place the fixing plate on the positioner and tight it with an Allen key size 5.
When assembling the positioner, remember not to tight the screws, since it will necessary to align
the magnet and positioner according to the cylinder stroke length. We suggest, if possible,
assemble the positioner such as its air connections be at the same side of the cylinder air
connections. Next, place the positioner on the cylinder and its bracket.
To align the magnet properly, first full close the cylinder and use a mark pen to set the close
position on the rule.
1.9
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Full open the cylinder (use air pressure if necessary) and mark the open position on the rule. With a
measuring tape, find the 50% stroke and mark with the proper pen.
Figure 1.11 – Marking Full Open Position Figure 1.12 – Marking 50% Position
Ensure that the magnet groove (with an arrow) is aligned with the Hall sensor.
1.10
Installation
Adjust the magnet position taking the rule up to 50% stroke, aligning the magnet and Hall sensor
arrows. Tight now the plate on the positioner using an Allen key size 10. Full open and full close the
cylinder some times to be sure the assembly is correct. Check if the rule is running parallel to the
cylinder and if the magnet arrow is assembled properly (arrows match). The Hall sensor does not
scrape the magnet internal walls.
The limit switches (optional) are available and must be specified on the ordering code. They are
reed switches and they are not for use in classified areas.
Rotary ACP
The Rotary ACP has four holes on the base for fixing and fastening on the ground. After pre-
assembling it, place the washers and nuts. Tight them gradually preventing tensions or warping the
structure. It follows the detailed installing procedure.
Installation Procedure
The following instructions cover the installing and assembling procedure for the ACPR – Rotary
Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator.
To transport the ACP is packed with the lever loose. Use the other set of bolts and nuts to
assemble the cylinder to the ACP lever.
Notice in the next two pictures the details where to place the rotary magnet. Also notice the groove
on the horizontal axis, for fixing the rotary magnet. Note that, if necessary, the positioner can be
mounted on the opposite side.
1.11
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Fix the rotary magnet to the base axis as shown in the picture guided by the groove. Use an Allen
key size 5 mm just to place the magnet but do not tight it yet.
Figure 1.18 - Placing the Magnet Figure 1.19 – Fixing the Screw (Do not tight
it)
Next assemble the positioner bracket using the Allen key 5mm to tight the positioner to the bracket.
Figure 1.20 - Rotary ACP Mounting Bracket Figure 1.21 - Assembling the Bracket and
Positioner
Fix the set “positioner + bracket” to the ACP base and tight it with the Allen key 5mm.
Figure 1.22 - Positioner and Bracket Installed into the ACP Base
1.12
Installation
Ensure a 2 to 4 mm distance between the magnet face and the positioner face and check if there is
no physical contact between the pieces, including the Hall sensor.
Displace manually the ACP lever to check the upper and lower limits. Place the lever at 50% stroke
and use the auxiliary small lever to sustain the lever at that position. See the picture for details on
how to use the auxiliary lever.
Figure 1.24 - Auxiliary Lever for 50% Stroke Figure 1.25 - Rotary ACP on 50% Stroke
Place the magnet in such way that the 50% position matches with positioner arrow. On this position
tight the two screws on the rotary magnet.
1.13
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Return the lever for its initial position and test. Place the ACP in upper and lower position.
Now, install the instrument air pipe on the positioner output 1 and output 2. Note that there are two
fixing device on the ACP base for the pipe, preventing the pipe to move during the actuator
displacement.
Figure 1.29 - Detail of the Pipe Installed on the Rotary ACP for Air Supply
Next, connect the pipe to the regulator filter, which can be installed at both sides of the rotary ACP.
Clear regularly the filter for a better ACP performance.
NOTE
Cleaning will be much more frequent when the installation does not according the specification of the impurities
amount or moisture in the air instrumentation. In this section, refer to item "Air Supply" for proper installation.

1.15
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Among all factors that may affect the positioner accuracy, environmental conditions are the most
difficult to control. But there are ways to reduce the effects of temperature, humidity and vibration.
Installing the positioner in areas protected from extreme environmental changes can minimize
temperature fluctuation effects. In warm environments, the positioner should be installed to avoid,
as much as possible, direct exposure to the sun. Installation close to lines and vessels subjected to
high temperatures should also be avoided. If not possible to avoid it, consider using the remote
position sensor version.
Use thermal isolation to protect the positioner from external heart sources, if necessary.
Humidity is fatal to electronic circuits. In areas subjected to high relative humidity, the O-rings for
the electronic housing covers must be correctly placed and the covers must be completely closed
by tighten them by hand until you feel the O-rings being compressed. Do not use tools to tight the
covers. Removal of the electronics cover in the field should be reduced to the minimum necessary,
since each time it is removed; the circuits are exposed to the humidity.
The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof coating, but frequent exposures to humidity
may affect the protection provided. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in place. Every
time they are removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since painting cannot protect these
parts. Sealing methods should be employed on conduit entering of the positioner.
IMPORTANT
Avoid to use thread sealant tapes on the air input and outputs connections, since small pieces of this type
of sealant may block the air flow inside the positioner, affecting the overall equipment performance.
Although the positioner is practically vibration resistant, it is not recommended to install it near
pumps, turbines or other equipment producing too much vibration. If not possible to avoid it,
consider using of remote position sensor version.
Reach the wiring block by removing the electrical connection cover. This cover can be locked
closed by the cover locking screw. To release the cover, rotate the locking screw clockwise.
1.16
Installation
Electric Wiring
The access to the signal cables to the terminal wiring can be done through of one of the housing
passes and can be connected to a conduit. The wiring block has screws on which fork or ring-type
terminals can be fastened. Use a plug to block the electrical connection not used. Tight it well and
use thread sealing tape.
NOTE
If the user choose protection against noise induced by atmospheric discharges, overloads, weld
machines and machines in general, it will be necessary to install a transient protector (protector
acquired separately).
Test and communication terminals allow, respectively, to measure the current in the 4 - 20 mA loop,
without opening it, and to communicate with the transmitter. To measure it, connect a multimeter in
the mA scale in the "0" and "É" terminals, and to communicate, use a Hart® configurator in the
"COMM" and "0" terminals. For convenience, there are three ground terminals: one inside the
cover and two externals, located close to the conduit entries.
Attention to prevent the accidental feeding of the test terminals. This occurrence will cause
damages in the equipment.
HAZARDOUS AREAS
In hazardous areas with explosion proof requirements, the covers must be tightened with at
least 8 turns. In order to avoid the penetration of humidity or corrosive gases, tighten the o-ring
until feeling the o-ring touching the housing. Then, tighten more 1/3 turn (120°) to guarantee
the sealing. Lock the covers using the locking bolts.
Conduit threads should be sealed by means of code-approved sealing methods.
Explosion proof, non-incendive and intrinsic safety certification are standards for ACP301
controlled by FY301 positioner.
For a complete list of available certificates, please consult http://www.smar.com

The FY301 positioner is protected against reverse polarity, and can withstand up to 50 mA and power supply
of ± 60 Vdc without damage.
The FY301 positioner connection could be done according to the figures below. It is also
recommended to ground the shield of shielded cables at one end only. The non-grounded end must
be carefully isolated.
The configurator can be connected to the communication terminals of the positioner or at any point
of the signal line by using the interface HPI311-M5P with “alligator” clips.

CONFIGURATOR
The FY301 has an equivalent impedance of 550 Ohms. Make sure that the current supply or analog
output of DCS, CLP or single loop controller powering the positioner is capable to handle a voltage
drop of 11 V for each positioner (550 x 0,02 = 11 Volts).
NOTE
If you are using two positioners in series as e. g., working in split range, the resulting impedance
will be 1.100 Ohms. Therefore, the analog output should be capable to handle a voltage drop of
22 Volts.
Connection of the FY301 in multidrop configuration should be done as in figure 1.40. Note that a
maximum of two positioners can be connected on the same line and that they should be connected
in series.

Instrument air quality shall be superior to that of industrial compressed air. Humidity, suspended
particles and oil may impair the instrument operation, either temporarily or permanently in case of
internal parts wearing.
As per standard ANSI/ISA S7.0.01 - 1996 - Quality Standard for Instrument Air, instrument air shall
have the following characteristics:
This standard recommends that the compressor intake be located in an area free from process
spills and fitted with and adequate filter. It also recommends the use of non-lubricated type
compressors, in order to prevent air contamination by lubricating oil. Where lubricated type
compressors are adopted, there shall be used means to make the air oil free.

Installation
There are five exhaust outputs in the FY301 positioner, all of them fitted with filters. It is very
important that such outputs are neither blocked nor obstructed, because the air must circulate
freely.
Connection of positioner air supply to the pneumatic cylinder should be accomplished with flexible
pipe, due to oscillation of the equipment when in progress operation or return of the pneumatic
cylinder.
Depending on the specifications, rigid or flexible air connections can be used for regulator filter
supply. When possible, the pipe length must be minimum, with the objective of avoiding the delay
in control signs.

OPERATION
Transducer Functional Description
The main parts of the output module are the pilot, servo, Hall effect position sensor and the output
control circuit.
The control circuit receives a digital setpoint signal from the CPU and a feedback signal from the
position sensor.
The pneumatic circuit is based on a well-known and widely adopted technology, which is described on

A piezoelectric disk is the flapper in the pilot stage. The flapper is deflected when the control circuit
applies a voltage. A small stream of air flowing through the nozzle is obstructed causing an increase in
pressure in the pilot chamber; this is called the pilot pressure.
The pilot pressure is too low, with a small flowing capacity, and for this reason, it must be amplified in
the servo section. The servo section includes a diaphragm in the pilot chamber and a smaller one in the
spool chamber. The pilot pressure applies a force at the pilot chamber’s diaphragm, which, in the
equilibrium state, will be equal to the force applied by the spool valve at the smaller diaphragm, which
is in the spool chamber.
Upon every position change caused by the positioner, the pilot pressure increases or decreases, as
explained in the pilot stage section. Such change in pilot pressure causes an upward or downward
valve travel, which alters the pressure at Output 1 and Output 2, until a new balance is reached (new
valve position).

Section 3
CONFIGURATION
The FY301 Smart Positioner in the ACP301 – Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator is a digital instrument with
the most up-to-date features a measurement device can possibly have. The digital communication
®
protocol (Hart ) enables the instrument to be connected to a computer, in order to be configured in a
very simple and c omplete way. Such computers connected to the positioners, are called host
®
computers. They can be either primary or secondary masters. Even though Hart is a master-slave type
of protocol, it is possible to work with up to two masters in a bus. Usually, the primary host plays the
supervisory role and the secondary host plays the configurator role.
NOTE
In case of a multidrop network configuration for classified areas, the entity parameters allowed for the area shall be
strictly observed. Therefore, the following shall be checked:
Ca ≥ Σ Cij + Cc La ≥ Σ Lij + Lc
Voc ≤ min [Vmaxj] Isc ≤ min [Imaxj]
Where:
Ca, La = Allowed Capacitance and Inductance on the bus
®
The FY301 positioner includes a very encompassing set of Hart Command functions that make it
possible to access the functionality of what has been implemented. Such commands according to the
®
Hart protocol specifications, and are grouped as Universal Commands, Common Practice Controls
Commands and Specific Commands. A detailed description of such commands may be found in the
®
manual entitled Hart Command Specification - FY301 Smart Valve Positioner.
®
Smar developed two types of Configurators for its Hart devices: CONF401 Configurator and HPC401
Configurator. CONF401 supports Windows platform (95, 98, 2000, XP and NT) and UNIX. It provides a
simple configuration, field device monitoring, and ability to analyze data and m odify field device
performance. The HPC401 is the most up-to-date technology in Palm Handheld portable computers.
The operation and use characteristics of each one of the configurators are in their specific manuals.

Configuration
Configuration Resources
®
By means of Hart configurator, the FY301 firmware allows the following configuration features to be
accessed:
• Positioner’s Identification and Manufacturing Data;
• Remote movement;
• Monitoring of all device variables: input, setpoint, deviation and modulated output temperature;
• Diagnostic (Preventive Maintenance);
• Positioner diagnostic and fail determination;
• PID Controller Configuration;
• Device Configuration;
• Device Maintenance.
The operations between the configurator and t he positioner, do not interrupt the cylinder position
measurement, and do not disturb the output signal. The configurator can be connected to the same pair
of wires as the 4-20 mA signal, up to 2 kilometers away from the positioner.
DESCRIPTION - 16-character alphanumeric field for additional identification of the positioner. May
be used to identify service or location.
MESSAGE - 32-character alphanumeric field for any other information, such as the name of the
person who made the last calibration, some special care to be taken, or if a ladder is needed for
physical access to the positioner.
DATE - The date may be used to identify a relevant date, such as the last calibration, the next
calibration or the installation. The date is presented in the American standard e.g. (Example: Oct 30,
2003) is automatically assumed after the choice of these items.
UNIQUE ID - Used to identify the device and in construction of Hart® long address.
DEVICE INFORMATION - This button allows to read device identification and data recorded in the
factory.
NOTE
These information items cannot be modified. They are read directly from the circuit memory.
Monitoring
This function allows remote monitoring of positioner variables. The time to start the reading is around 5
seconds. The values are always updated. Altogether, 20 items could be monitored. These items are:
cylinder actual position in percentage, input in percentage of adjusted current range, input current in
mA or %, device temperature in Celsius and in Fahrenheit degrees, etc.
Device Configuration
Besides the configuration services for equipment operation, the FY301 positioner allows self-
configuration. Services from this group are related to: write protection, and local indication.
WRITE PROTECTION: The configurator only shows that the writing is authorized if the W2 jumper
from main board is connected to the pins under the word DOWN.
3.3
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
LOCAL INDICATION - The FY301 local indicator has three well-defined fields: information field with
icons informing the active status of the configuration, 4 ½ numerical digit fields to value indication and
alphanumeric field with 5-digit for status information and units.
The FY301 accepts up to two local indicator configurations, showed with a 2 seconds pause between
each one. The parameters that can be selected to visualization are showed below in table.
PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
PV % Process variable in percentage.
PV (mm) Process variable in mm.
SP % Setpoint in percentage.
SP(mm) Setpoint in mm.
Advanced Configuration
This function affects actuator advanced configurations. With advanced configuration is possible to
configure if it is air-to-open or air-to-close, cylinder action, setpoint limits and split-range.
Device Maintenance
This group includes maintenance services, related to obtainment of necessary information to the device
maintenance and performance test. Some of the available services are: position adjustment and
performance test, general information about the actuator, operations count, password level, code
number model and performance.
Trim
There are two trim operations: current trim and temperature trim. Current trim allows to calibrate the
positioner input current reading and temperature trim is the temperature reference to the positioner
temperature sensor.
Setup
This function allows to calibrate the cylinder travel automatically (Auto Setup), the points of the totally
opened or totally closed travel with higher precision (lower and higher position), to adjust the opening
and closing times and the proportional and integral actions of PI control, the state of air supply, the
magnet, the sensor Hall, setup and the piezo voltage conditions.
During the setup process, the FY301 positioner takes the following steps:
10% - It opens or closes the cylinder, depending on the initial value of the piezo voltage;
20% - The positioner checks if the flat cable is connected, or if the Hall sensor is working properly. In
case of error, the message “HALL” will appear at local indicator;
40% - At this point, the positioner opens or closes the cylinder, depending on the initial position. Case
the spool is obstructed or if the positioner has no air supply, the message “FAIL MOVE” will appear in
the local indicator.
50% - At this moment, the positioner checks if the magnet is connected. If not, the message “MGNT”
will appear in the local indicator;
60% - The positioner places the cylinder to 50%. The setup process could remain at this step if the Kp
value is low;
70% - At this moment, the cylinder is close to 50%. The setup process could remain at this step, if the
Kp value is high;
3.4
Configuration
80% - The positioner adjusts its internal references to place the valve in 50%. The setup process could
remain at this step, if the Kp value is high;
90% - The positioner checks if the magnet is correctly mounted (arrow in arrow). If not, the message
“MGNT” will appear in the local indicator;
Multidrop Configuration
ADDRESSING - FY301 contains a variable that define the device address in a HART network. HART
addresses assume values from "0" to "15", the addresses "1" to "15" are specific addresses to
multidrop connection. When FY301 is configured to multidrop, it means that the local indicator is
showing “MD” and the address is a value from "1" to "15". FY301 is factory configured with address "0".
Diagnostic
This function allows engineering unit configuration, the parameters to diagnostic purposes and shows
positioner general conditions.
Backup
Data transference from transducer to main board must be done immediately after the assembly when
there is a transducer or main board substitution.
This process is automatically done when the positioner is powered. If necessary, the user could force
transference using the option read from sensor.
The option write on sensor could be used to record changes previously made, for example, in Kp, Tr,
etc., in transducer memory. The previous values for Kp, Tr, etc. will be lost.
Pressure Sensor
This function allows pressure trim adjustment, to view applied pressure status and to configure
positioner input pressure in order to activate the alarm via HART communication, in case the applied
input pressures are not in accordance with configured values.
Factory
This option is used only in the factory, and the user cannot access it.

LOCAL ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMMING
To enable local adjustment, move the W1 jumper to “ON”. This jumper is located on top of the main
electronic circuit board.
There are two orifices on the positioner, under the nameplate, identified by “S” and “Z” respectively,
which provide access to two magnetic switches actuated by means of a magnetic tool (Refer to
figure 4.1).
NOTE
In this section, the “Magnetic Tool” will be referred to as “TOOL”, and the orifices identified by “S” and “Z”
will be “ORIFICE S” and “ORIFICE Z”, respectively.
The table indicates the results for the actions on orifices “Z” and “S” in FY301.
ORIFICE ACTION

Jumpers
While in local adjustment, it is possible to browse through all configuration options by keeping the
magnetic tool in orifice “Z”. Upon choosing the option as described, place the tool in orifice “S” in
order to actuate.
By keeping the tool in orifice “S” it is possible to continuously actuate the selected parameter, since
this is a numeric value. Actions by increment are performed by repeatedly placing and removing the
magnetic tool until reaching the desired valve.

Adjustable Parameters
TYPE - Act Type
This parameter enables the user to configure action type. These are the options:
For Linear ACP:
Lind: Linear and Direct;
Linr: Linear and Reverse;
For Rotary ACP:
Rotd: Rotary and Direct;
Rotr: Rotary and Reverse.
During this process the control parameters are determined and the 0% and 100% trim is performed.
This operation lasts approximately 4 minutes. While configuring the action type as described above,
the user shall browse up to parameter SETUP (tool in orifice Z) and pl ace the tool in orifice S in
order to initiate the previous auto positioning of the cylinder.
NOTE
Not for ACP
CHAR - Valve Characterization Curve
This parameter allows the user to configure the type of valve characterization curve. Options are as follows:
Lin: Linear;
EP50: Equal Percentage 50%;
HY: Hyperbolic.
SP % - Set Point
This parameter represents the desired position value. While in "Manual" mode, it is possible to
actuate this parameter remotely, independently from the input current. While in automatic, it is
calculated from the input current level.
LOPOS - Lower Position
This parameter allows the lower position calibration as per the input current, usually 4 mA unless it
is in split range operation. During calibration, notice if the control becomes saturated, that is, if the
cylinder no longer moves in the desired direction. Should such a s ituation occur, the user shall
actuate in the opposite direction to the cylinder movement. Calibration is performed in terms of
percentage.
UPPOS - Upper Position
This parameter allows the upper position calibration as per the input current, usually 20 mA unless
it is in split range operation. During calibration, notice if the control becomes saturated, that is, if the
cylinder no longer moves in the desired direction. If such a situation occur, the user shall actuate in
the opposite direction to the cylinder movement. Calibration is performed in terms of percentage.
4.3
ACP301 - Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
KP - Proportional Gain
This parameter makes it possible to adjust the servo control proportional gain. It is adjustable within
the following range: 0.5 to 45.
TR - Integral Time
This parameter makes possible to adjust the servo control integral time. It is adjustable within the
following range: 0 to 999 minutes/repetition.
NOTE
In most cases, steps 1 and 2 are sufficient to provide a good calibration.
STEP 3
Set the KP to lower the value overshoot (the overshoot will require adjustment after the TIME as
adjusted). The lower the KP is, the lower the overshoot will be, but cylinder positioning will be
slower. Set TR in a value where the position does not oscillate and c ontrol is capable of quickly
reaching the final position.
STEP 4
Time Adjustment (TIME)
Perform TIME adjustment for quick open.
STEP 5
Zero Adjustment by means of LOPOS (Lower Position)
At this moment, current shall be i n the position that corresponds to 0% as, for example, 4 mA. A
more practical way of performing this adjustment is to place the tool in orifice S, thus allowing the
parameter to be continually actuated (increased or decreased). Upon noticing the valve action
around the desired point, remove the tool from orifice S and slowly alter its value on an increment-
by-increment basis, that is, by repeatedly placing and removing the tool in orifice S until reaching
the desired point. At a c ertain point, it is more convenient to perform the adjustment on an
increment-by-increment basis to avoid the risk of passing beyond the desired value.
STEP 6
Span Adjustment by means of UPPOS (Upper Position).
At this moment, current shall be in the position that corresponds to 100% as, for example, 20 mA.
The procedure is similar to the one described for zero adjustment.
STEP 7
Air to Close / Air to Open (AIR_T)
This option configures the air pressure effect on the positioner.
If the positioner operates in “direct action”:
• It should be configured for AIR_OPEN, if the air is to open
• It should be configured for AIR_CLOSED, if the air is to close
In case the positioner is operating in “reverse action”:
• It should be configured for AIR_OPEN, if the air is to close
• It should be configured for AIR_CLOSED, if the air is to open

Maintenance Procedures
ACP Positioner
FY301 Valve Positioners of ACP301 are extensively tested and inspected before delivered to the
end user. Nevertheless, during their design and development, consideration was given to the
possibility of repairs by the end user, if necessary.
In general, it is recommended that the end user do not try to repair printed circuit boards. Instead,
he should have spare circuit boards, which may be ordered from Smar whenever necessary.
The maintenance procedure is a set of techniques with the purpose to keep the positioners of
ACP301 with higher time of use (useful life), to operate in safe conditions and to promote costs
reduction. The different maintenance types are described during this section.
The diagnostic are a set of methods to detect, to locate and eventually to correct errors and
problems or even verify fail effects in the ACP301 positioner.
DIAGNOSTICS
Electronics Failure
Check circuit boards for bad connections and replace them for spare boards.
Pressure Output Connections
Check up on air leaks.
5.5
ACP301 – Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
Error Messages
The error messages inform the diagnostic through the self diagnostic of errors and malfunctioning.
When the configurator is communicating with the ACP301 positioner, the user is informed on any
problem found, through the self diagnostic. At the ACP301 positioner, the error messages always
alternate with the information on the top line of the configurator’s display. Table 5.2 lists the error
messages and more details on corrective action.
5.6
Maintenance Procedures

To remove the plate of the circuit (5) and the indicator (4), first release the cover locking bolt (6)
from the side not marked "Field Terminals", and after that release the cover (1).
ATTENTION
The circuit boards have CMOS components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Verify the correct
procedures to manipulate CMOS components. Also it is recommended to store the circuit boards in packs with
electrostatic load proof.
Release the two screws (3) that fix the main board circuit and of the indicator. Pull out the indicator,
after the main board (5).
Verify the firmware version; must be version 2.12, 2.13 or higher. Mount the equipment; apply
pressure supply of 30 psi and power on the equipment. When the equipment do not initializes, the
display does not light on, proceed with the following procedures:
5.7
ACP301 – Operation, Maintenance and Instructions Manual
2. Case the equipment initializes, change the GLL1012, if it does not change the GLL1011.
Proceed with the setup. After the setup, verify if the ACP301 positioner is working properly. For that,
apply 12mA and be sure that the valve goes to the position correspondent to the 50% of the valve
travel. If it does not occur, do the following:
4. If the values above were different, execute the 4 mA and 20 mA current trim;
5. Verify the Hall reading through the configurator. Apply pressure directly to the valve actuator
and verify if there is modification in the Hall reading (65000 means that the Hall is not being
read) and the defect can be the GLL1012 or GLL1019;
To verify the Hall value and the piezo voltage, do the following:
• With the configurator, go to the “monitoring” mode and choose two parameters: Hall value and
piezo voltage;
• The piezo voltage values must be the most closed possible to 26000 to 38000;
• The piezo voltage values must be between 30 and 70 Volts. If the voltage is not between these
values, proceed with the piezo calibration.
To remove the transducer from the electronic housing, the electrical connections (in the field
terminal side) and the main board connector must be disconnected.
Loosen the hex screw (6) and carefully unscrew the electronic housing from the transducer,
observing that the flat cable is not excessively twisted.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the electronic housing more than 270° without disconnecting the electronic circuit from the power
supply.
