2) Set the valve stem at the lowest position. SERVO-TOP II
3) Connect the PSN1 to the yoke.
4) Screw the valve stem into the output stem until there is
little opening between them.
For applying a sealing pressure, refer to flexure values in
Table 3 (e.g. 1 mm for applying 1500 N for PSN1-❑1) and
screw it until the opening equals the value.

1) Use SW-3 for switching the actuator action. It is set to

Table 2. ACTUATOR ACTION

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE MODE SW-3 ACTION

Open the PSN1 body cover and adjust the full-open and -
closed positions referring to Figure 1. Other adjustments can
be also conducted as explained below: switching actuator
action, emergency operation at abnormally low input, and
positions for the open/close limiters and for the full-open/
close signal, and restart limiting timer.
For adjusting positions for the open/close limiters and for the
full-open/close signal, and restart limiting timer, the PU-2❑
is required.
All explanations given in this manual are for the upper end
of output stem as full-open position, for the lower end of
output stem as full-closed position.

"REVERSE" at the factory. Refer to Table 2.
■ FULL-OPEN/CLOSED POSITIONS
1) Turn ON the SW-8 in order to put the PSN1 in the local
calibration mode, and the input signal is disregarded.
2) Turn ON the SW-5 and adjust the full-open position
pressing UP/DOWN control buttons.
3) When the output stem reaches a desired position, turn
OFF the SW-5. The position is memorized as the full-open
position.
4) Turn ON the SW-6 and adjust the full-closed position
pressing UP/DOWN control buttons.
5) When the output stem reaches a desired position, turn
OFF the SW-6. The position is memorized as the full-
closed position.
6) Turn OFF the SW-8 in order to put the PSN1 in the
operating mode. Apply input signals and confirm the full-
open/closed positions.
