Connections
♦
Use 1/4" (6 mm) O.D. polyethlyene tubing.
♦
Use only clean, dry control air. No attempt should be
made to use any other medium.
NOTE: If the application requires operation near the
maximum temperature and maximum pressure, add
a tubing restraint to the actuator connection.
1. Connect the signal (0 to 20 psig) to the 3/16" fitting on
the base of the actuator.
2. Slowly apply supply pressure to fully stroke the
actuator and linkage.
3. Check for any binding. Fine tuning can be
accomplished by adjusting the balljoint on the
pushrod.

DANGER
The MCP-1030 and MCP-1130 contain a large
powerful spring. Exercise extreme caution if
disassembly is required. The actuator shaft MUST
be restrained to prevent the spring from expanding.
Actuators with positioners contain an 8-13 psi
spring. A positioner allows the unit to operate over
any 5 psi span with the start-point adjustable from
3-10 psi. Replace the 5 psi spring with a 10 psi
spring to widen the span.
To change the positioner start-point:
1. Apply the desired signal pressure.
2. Rotate the start-point adjuster until the actuator
starts to stroke.
Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required.
Each component is designed for dependable, long
term reliability and performance.
