2001/2002 actuators can be set up to operate within a narrow input range (for example,
4 to 12mA input) in certain applications. The procedure in
Table 5 describes how to set up an actuator
to operate as part of a split valve configuration.

Introduction
With the motor positioner, the controlling signal for the actuator is a 4 to 20mA from a current output
controller as shown in the flow diagram in
Figure 16.
Unlike the position output controller, the current output controller must produce a continuous analog
signal or the actuator will revert to one of its failsafe states. Signal failure is not a problem since the
available failsafe settings allow you to set the actuator position on signal loss.
