Figure 3 is an operational diagram of the positioner. A balance beam, hinged at one end and connected to the pilot valve at the other, is acted upon by two forces: • upward force of the signal diaphragm assembly • downward force from the range spring AV1 pneumatic positioner AV1 positioners receive an external pneumatic signal and converts it to a pneumatic output. This output produces the motive force that positions the power actuator. The AV1...
