Abstract

See full text

A magnetic actuator for adjusting the zero and span settings of a transmitter used in industrial process control systems. The actuator has a single magnet in a housing. The actuator is removable from the transmitter. When the actuator is unactuated the magnet is in a null position wherein it does not actuate either the zero or span setting reed switches. The magnet can be moved to either a first position wherein it actuates the zero setting reed switch or a second position wherein it actuates the span setting reed switch. The actuator applies a torque in the proper direction to return the magnet to the null position when the torque applied to move the magnet to either the first or second position is removed.
