The compact positioner device Type 8692 is optimised for integrated mounting on

the pneumatic actuators in the process valve series Type 23xx/2103 and is specially

designed for the requirements of a hygienic process environment. The pilot

air duct is integrated into the actuator without external piping. The easy operation

and the selection of additional software functions are carried out either on a big

graphic display with backlight and keypad or via the COMMUNICATOR.

The positioner registers the valve position without deterioration via a contact-free,

analogue position sensor. The integrated diagnostics function are used to monitor

control valve operating conditions. Valve diagnostic messages via status signals

are issued in accordance with NE107 (NAMUR) and recorded as historical entries.

The housing is easy to clean and features proven IP protection and chemically

resistant materials for use in hygienic processing in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical

industries. Combined with Bürkert ELEMENT actuators, the pneumatic

actuating system enables spring chamber aeration that avoids actuator chamber

contamination from the environment.
