SETTING UP VALVES
When setting up a valve it is important to correctly set the end stops. Use the PIECAL 334Plus to
supply the 4 to 20 mA control signal to stroke the valve. Select “SOURCE” and the PIECAL 334Plus
will use the internal power source for outputting current or switch to 2-WIRE SIMULATOR to stroke
a valve using any pre-existing installed loop power supply as the power source.
Example:
1) Disconnect the 4-20 mA control wires from the Current-to Pressure (I/P) converter or the actuator.
2) Connect the PIECAL 334Plus following the connection diagrams on the previous pages for
Simulate 2-Wire Transmitters
3) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch e to “4.00 mA”/”0.0%” and adjust the fully closed stop on the
actuator.
4) Turn the PIECAL 334Plus’s knob r slowly counterclockwise and verify that the actuator and
valve don’t move. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until no movement is detected.
5) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch e to DIAL and quickly back to “4.00 mA”/”0.0%” then turn the
PIECAL 334Plus’s knob r clockwise. The actuator and valve should begin to move.
6) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch e to “20.00 mA”/”100.0%” and adjust the fully open stop on the
actuator.
7) Turn the PIECAL 334Plus’s knob r slowly clockwise and verify that the actuator and valve don’t
move. Repeat steps 6 & 7 until no movement is detected.
8) Move the EZ-CHECK™ switch e to DIAL and quickly back to “20.00 mA”/”100.0%” then turn
the PIECAL 334Plus’s knob counterclockwise. The actuator and valve should begin to move .
