5.10.1 Setting the Potentiometer

If the LY actuator includes a Feedback Potentiometer used for remote valve position indication, use an
ohmmeter to calibrate the position of the potentiometer.

c

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. Turn power off before calibrating the Feedback
Potentiometer.

1. Using the Handwheel, position the actuator to mid-travel (valve at the 50% position).

2. Disconnect the Potentiometer Wiring Harness from where it is plugged in or connected to a

Terminal Strip.

3. Using an ohmmeter, verify that the potentiometer is in mid-travel. The resistance from each End

Connection to the Center Connection should be half of the full resistance of the Potentiometer.
Example: 1000 ohm potentiometer should read approximately 500 ohms from one of the End
Connections to the Center Connection.
