1. Product Description
The Digital Positioner is a fitting the electric actuator to convert the actuator in a self-
control valve positioner.
The Digital Positioner is a modulus with a microprocessor (CPU) which manages digitally
the analogical input and output and compare them with the position of the actuator to
establish an uniform relation.
The analogical inputs are sent to CPU where they are processed for his continuous
comparison with the position of the actuator, this allows to obtain a very high sensitivity
next to a very high repetitivity of the position (see characteristics).
The Digital Positioner in communication with the electronic system of the actuator
provides an integral management of the motion on the actuator.
Sign position input is converted to a digital numerical value and is continuously compared
with the position of potentiometer which is mechanically fitted to the valve shaft.
The programme in the microchip makes all the necessary calculations to determine which
way the motor should turn so that the potentiometer position and the valve corresponds
to the position, it keeps the motor in stopped position until it receives an input signal.
2. Safety Instructions
The scope of this manual is to enable a competent user to install, operate, adjust and
inspect a Digital Positioning System to GE quarter turn electric actuator. These
instructions must be observed, otherwise a safe operation of the actuator is no longer
warranted.
As electric device, during electrical operation certain parts inevitably carry
lethal voltages and currents (ELECTRICAL RISKS). Work on the electrical
system or equipment must only be carried out by a skilled electrician himself or
by specially instructed personnel, in accordance with the applicable electrical
engineering rules, health and safety Directives and any other national legislation
applicable.

3. Transport and Storage
• All products are packed in sturdy packing. During transport measures should
be adopted in order to prevent impacts, hits.
• Storage must be off the floor, covered with a sealed dust protector.
• While commissioning, Genebre, S.A. recommend a visual inspection in order to
detect any anomaly caused during the transport, handling or during the
storage.
4. Pre-Installation Inspection
• Verify the product nameplate to insure correct model number, before installation or
use.
• If there is any discrepancy, please contact with our local distributor, or Genebre,
S.A., to solve that discrepancy.
5. External Electrical Connections
Safety instructions on chapter 2 must be observed. Work on electrical system
or equipment must only be carried out by skilled electrician.
Under no circumstances should any modification or alteration be carried out
on the actuator as this could very well invalidate the conditions which the
device was designed.
As electric device, during electrical operation certain parts inevitably carry
lethal voltages and currents (ELECTRICAL RISKS).

ATTENTION:
ALL SERVOMOTOR WHIT POSITIONER SYSTEM HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY
ADJUSTED FROM THE FACTORY AS REQUESTED, THEREFORE IT’S NOT
NECESSARY TO PROCEED ANY ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS SPECIAL PRECISE
ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED.
7. Signal Control
7.1 Signal Types
The signal types can be 4-20 mA or 0-10V DC. If there is no instruction for the input
signal, Genebre set the signal as 4-20 mA.
7.2 Setting of working parameters
The user can set the fail position of actuator by setting DIP switches as follows:
Switch Nº 1:
On: Valve closing direction is anticlockwise.
Off : Valve closing direction is clockwise.
Switch Nº 2:
On: Valve control error value add 0.5% on the basis of menu setting.
Off : Value control error valve using menu setting valve.

7.3 Auto Setting
If actuator is properly mounted on application, please check the input power, input signal
and wiring are correct or not. Without input signal, put actuator 50% open by hand wheel,
push Auto Setting Button for 3 seconds (S2). Firstly, the actuator moves by itself in order
to set the close and open position automatically.
After setting, actuator stops at the position, which is correspondence with the current
input signal and transmits the output signal.
