Q
  1. During a preventative maintenance check on a non-spring assisted piston actuator, the following is found during calibration.
A
  • 10% input equals 10% valve travel
  • 50% input equals 40% valve travel
  • 90% input equals 90% valve travel
What is done?
A.	Align balance beam.
B.	Bench set the valve.
C.	Reduce supply pressure.
D.	Inspect cam orientation.
17
Q
  1. What are the steps when a pneumatic positioner is to be removed from service for maintenance?
A

A. Bypass the valve to maintain appropriate flow, shut off the air supply, then remove the positioner.
B. Bypass the valve to maintain appropriate flow, remove the positioner, then shut off the air supply.
C. Close the valve, depressurize the process line, then remove the positioner.
D. Depressurize the process line, remove the positioner, then shut off the air supply.

18
Q
  1. When attempting to calibrate a smart positioner, the hand-held HART communicator fails to communicate with the positioner. What is the cause?
A

A. Leads are too short.
B. Low circuit noise.
C. Insufficient loop resistance.
D. Shield wire disconnected at one end.

19
Q
  1. A valve is stroking properly when air is applied directly to the actuator. When the positioner is connected to the valve, the valve strokes to 100% regardless of input. What is the cause?
A

A. The feedback arm is misaligned.
B. The nozzle is plugged.
C. The positioner is bypassed.
D. The cam is on backwards.

20
Q
  1. After maintenance on a valve, the positioner is reinstalled. Any input signal to the positioner causes the valve to stroke fully and stay there. What is done to correct the problem?
A

A. Re-attach the feedback linkage.
B. Bench set the actuator.
C. Calibrate the I/P converter.
D. Decrease the supply pressure.

21

C. Remove tubing and old bellows, align the quadrant beam, install new bellows and connect tubing, then calibrate the positioner.
D. Remove tubing and old bellows, install new bellows and connect tubing, align the quadrant beam, then calibrate the positioner.

22
Q
  1. What are the parameters required to configure a VSD?
A

A. Min-max speeds, fuse size, start method and I/O feedback.
B. Min-max speeds, motor frame size, start method and I/O feedback.

A

A. 128 V
B. 135 V
C. 144 V
D. 180 V

24
Q
