If inadmissible motions or forces are produced in the pneumatic actuator as a result of the
supply pressure level, it must be restricted using a suitable supply pressure reducing station.
Responsibilities of the operator
The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations.
Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the
referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation.
Furthermore, the operator must ensure that operating personnel or third persons are not ex-
posed to any danger.

Safety instructions and measures
1.1 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
Risk of injury due to high pressure inside device.
Thevolumeboosterispressurized.Improperremovaloftheinstalledvolumeboosteror
opening of the body can lead to device components bursting and cause serious injury.
ÎDepressurizethevolumeboosterbeforeremovingitoropeningthebody(disconnect
the signal pressure and protect it against unintentional reconnection).
High sound pressure level! Risk of damage to hearing.
If a noise-reducing element is not screwed into the exhaust port, the volume booster
generates a loud noise on venting.
ÎWear hearing protection.
1.2 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of damage to the volume booster due to contamination.
Incorrect handling may allow dirt or other foreign particles to enter the device and lead
to malfunctioning or damage.
ÎNo substances must be allowed to enter the device during mounting, transport or
storage.
Risk of damage to the volume booster due to incorrect mounting position.
The incorrect mounting position may allow dirt or other foreign particles to enter the de-
vice and lead to malfunctioning or damage.
ÎMount the volume booster with the vent opening facing downward or to the side
(exception:Type3755-2whentheexhaustportisscrewedtoapipe).
ÎIf the volume booster can become covered in snow, iced up or dirt can collect in the
device, it must be mounted with the exhaust side facing downward or protected by a
suitablexture/cover.
ÎWhen a screwed-on silencer is used, mount the volume booster with the silencer
facing downward.

Design and principle of operation
3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
TheType3755PneumaticVolumeBoosteris
used together with positioners to increase the
positioning speed of pneumatic actuators
withaneffectivearea≥1000cm²ora
travelvolume≥6l.
The pneumatic booster supplies the actuator
withanairowoutputwhosepressure
corresponds exactly to the signal pressure,
except that it has a much higher volume
output.
If the positioner signal to supply air to the
actuator increases, the pressure above the
diaphragm (1) increases. The differential
pressure at the diaphragm causes the supply
plug (2) to open, providing supply air up to
amaximumof10bartotheactuator.
In contrast, the signal to vent the actuator
causes the exhaust plug (3) to open. The
pressure in the actuator is relieved over the
exhaust port.
The bypass restriction screw (4) is used to
adjust the response of the pneumatic volume
booster to match the closed control loop
requirements. The setting of the bypass
restriction screw can be locked in position to
prevent it from being turned and can
additionally be lead-sealed.
Refertosection5.3.1onpage23 for
more details on how to adjust the bypass.
