1.0 INTRODUCTION
This instruction describes the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Model Series 74 Valve Positioner and
Motion Transmitter. The Model Series 74 is a two-stage, high frequency response valve positioner. The positioner
incorporates dual outputs which makes it ideally suited for double-acting cylinder operators. When one output is
supplying air, the other is exhausting it. This action provides large differential forces to drive the actuator to the
desired position. The Model Series 74 is also used as a single-acting positioner for spring type and cushion-load
actuators. In this case, only one positioner output is used.
The Model 74S can be used as a motion transmitter. It delivers a 3-15 psig output for input motion spans from 1/4"
to 48". For this application, a stabilizing restriction is added to the positioner piping. Normally the Model 74S is
used on small-bore cylinder operators of limited volume (generally 4" I.D. and smaller).
IMPORTANT
Save this Instruction and make it available for installation and maintenance of the
instrument.
