ABB V18345-1010421001 TZIDC Positioner – Smart Electro-Pneumatic

Description Product Overview ABB V18345-1010421001 is a TZIDC Electro-Pneumatic Positioner. This smart device controls valve actuators precisely. It uses a 4-20 mA input signal. The unit has an indicator and operator panel for easy setup. Great for linear or rotary actuators. Key Benefits Smart configuration with onboard operator panel Works with linear (DIN/IEC 534) and rotary (VDI/VDE 3845) actuators Very low air consumption – below 0.03 kg/h Double acting with fail safe position IP65 / NEMA 4X aluminum housing Multiple ATEX and IECEx certifications Technical Specifications Brand: ABB Model Number: V18345-1010421001 Series: TZIDC Product Type: Electro-Pneumatic Positioner Input signal: 4-20 mA, two-wire Supply pressure: 1.4 to 6 bar (20 to 90 psi) Air consumption: Less than 0.03 kg/h (0.015 scfm) Output: Double acting, fail safe Weight: 1.7 kg Order Code – Tree Structure V18345 = TZIDC intelligent positioner family 1 = Aluminum case, IP65, for linear/rotary actuators 1 = 4-20 mA input with LKS adapter plug 0 = No explosion protection (base version) 4 = Double acting, fail safe output 2 = Cable: 1/2-14 NPT, Air: 1/4-18 NPT 1 = Analog feedback module (4-20 mA) 0 = No digital feedback kit 1 = Standard paint / coding Input & Output Details Output signal (nominal): 4-20 mA Digital input – logic 0: 0 to 5 V DC Digital input – logic 1: 11 to 30 V DC Digital output supply: 5 to 11 V DC (to DIN 19234/NAMUR) Environmental & Housing Housing material: Aluminum, varnished black (RAL 9005) Protection class: IP65 / NEMA 4X Cover color: Pantone 420 Coating: Epoxy electrostatic dipping, stove-hardened Pneumatic connections: G 1/4 or 1/4-18 NPT Certifications – ATEX & IECEx ATEX Ex II 2G EEx ib IIC T6 – Intrinsically safe (Zone 1) Certificate TÜV 98 ATEX 1370 X ATEX II 3G EEx n A II T6 – Explosion-proof (Zone 2) Certificate TÜV 02 ATEX 1943 X IECEx Ex ib IIC T6 – Intrinsically safe international Certificate IECEx TUN 04.0015X Temperature Classes (Ambient) T4: -40°C to 85°C T5: -40°C to 50°C T6: -40°C to 35°C (ATEX ib) or -40°C to 50°C (ATEX nA) Installation Guide Mount on linear actuators (DIN/IEC 534 / NAMUR) Mount on rotary actuators (VDI/VDE 3845) Use integral mounting kit for direct attachment Connect air supply at 1.4 to 6 bar Wire 4-20 mA input to terminals Set fail safe position before air connection Setup & Commissioning Use onboard operator panel for configuration Auto-calibrate with push button No special tools needed for basic setup LKS adapter port for quick PC connection Digital input allows remote switching Diagnostics & Maintenance Analog feedback (4-20 mA) shows valve position Low air consumption means less wear Visual indicator on housing shows status No routine lubrication needed Check air filter regularly for clean supply Compatibility Works with any actuator accepting 4-20 mA control Fits linear valves (DIN/IEC 534 standard) Fits rotary valves (VDI/VDE 3845 standard) Compatible with all common PLC and DCS systems Packing List 1x ABB V18345-1010421001 TZIDC positioner Operator manual Mounting kit (for linear or rotary – specify when ordering) Original factory box Warranty & Shipping 12-month factory warranty Fast delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL Tracking number for all orders Typical Applications Chemical and petrochemical valve control Power plant steam valve positioning Oil and gas pipeline regulation Water treatment flow control Hazardous area (Zone 1 or Zone 2) installations 5 Professional FAQs What does “double acting, fail safe” mean on this positioner? Double acting means it drives both sides of the actuator. Fail safe means it moves to a safe position when power fails. Can I use this positioner without the LKS adapter? Yes. The LKS port is optional for PC connection. You can configure fully using the onboard panel. What is the minimum supply pressure for reliable operation? Use at least 1.4 bar (20 psi). Below this, the positioner may not move the valve fully. Do you offer the mechanical kit for digital feedback (option 0)? This unit comes without digital feedback kit. Please contact us if you need to add this feature. How do I select the right temperature class for my plant? For ambient above 50°C, choose T4. For outdoor cold climates, all classes work down to -40°C. Selection Guide – Pick the Right TZIDC Positioner Step 1 – Actuator type: Choose code 1 (this model) for linear or rotary mounting. Step 2 – Explosion protection needed: Code 0 has no protection. For Zone 1, choose a model with intrinsic safety code. Step 3 – Output type: Code 4 gives double acting fail safe. For single acting, pick other codes. Step 4 – Connections: Code 2 gives NPT threads. For metric threads, choose different code. Step 5 – Feedback option: Code 1 includes analog 4-20 mA feedback. Add digital feedback kit if needed. Pro tip: For very dusty or wet areas, the IP65 housing works well. Add an air filter regulator before the positioner for best reliability.
