8.2 Regulator

The regulator reduces the pressure of the incoming supply air to a
level that the driver module can use.

Replacing Regulator

To replace the regulator, refer to Figures 11 and 15 and proceed as
outlined below. The following tools are required:

• Phillips screwdriver
• ¼ " nutdriver



WARNING: Observe precautions for handling electrostati-
cally sensitive devices.

1. Make sure valve is bypassed or in a safe condition.
2. Disconnect the power and air supply to the unit.
3. Remove the main cover.
4. Remove the plastic board cover by removing the three retaining

screws (See Figure 15).

5. Remove the fi ve wire connections from the main PCB assembly

(six wire connections if the unit is equipped with the 4-20 mA
analog output option).

6. Remove the retaining screw from the main PCB assembly and

lift the main PCB out of the housing.

7. Remove the four screws from the regulator base. Verify that as

regulator is removed, the O-ring and fi lter remain in the counter-
bore (please See Figure 11).

8. Remove tubing and barbed fi tting from the regulator base.
9. Install barbed fi tting and tubing to the new regulator.
10. Verify O-ring and fi lter are in the counterbore. Install new regula-

tor using 8-32 x ½ " screws.

!

NOTE: Do not mix the regulator with those from older Logix

positioners. Older models contain regulators with different set-
tings that will not work in the Logix 3200MD model. The regula-
tor pressure setting is printed on the top of the regulator. The
Logix 3200MD regulator is set to 17.4 psig.

11. Install the main PCB into the housing. Insert the retaining screw

through the board into the threaded boss and tighten evenly,
using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.

12. Reinstall the fi ve wire connections (six wire connections if the

unit is equipped with the 4-20 mA analog output option).

13. Install the plastic board cover. Insert the three retaining screws

through the plastic cover into the threaded boss and tighten
evenly, using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten (See
Figure 15).

14. Reinstall all covers.

8.3 Checking or Setting Internal

Regulator Pressure

To check or set the internal regulator pressure, refer to Figure 16
and proceed as outlined below. The tools and equipment used in the
next procedure are from indicated vendors. The following tools are
required:

• Calibrated pressure gauge (0 to 30 psi)

2. Remove the main cover.
3. Remove the plastic board cover by removing the three retaining

screws.

4. Remove the

" fl exible tubing from the barbed fi tting on the

side of the driver module.

5. Obtain a barbed tee and two pieces of

1

" fl exible tubing, a few

inches in length each.

6. Position the barbed tee between the internal regulator and the

driver module by connecting the

" fl exible tubing, found in

the positioner, to one side of the barbed tee. Using one of the
new fl exible tubing pieces, connect the barbed tee to the barbed
fi tting on the side of the driver module. Connect the remaining
port on the barbed tee to a 0 to 30 psi pressure gauge.

7. Reconnect the air supply to the positioner and read the internal

regulator pressure on the 0 to 30 psig gauge. The internal
pressure should be set to 17.4 ±0.2 psig. If adjustment is needed,
loosen the set screw retaining nut on the top of the regulator us-
ing the

by turning the set screw on the top of the regulator with the
