5-2-4. EPM (Electro-pneumatic converter module) balance adjustment
In situations such as when excessive mechanical shocks and other external disturbances have
been applied to the SVX itself, or when contamination from the instrumentation air has
collected in the nozzle flapper area, the internal EPM (electropneumatic converter module)
balance point may be displaced and the response characteristics degraded. This can lead to
malfunctions occurring. If the balance point displacement cannot be rectified by cleaning the
nozzle flapper area, EPM adjustment will be necessary.
CAUTION
The EPM balance adjustment can cause the valve position to change rapidly. Only perform
this adjustment in a state where no one will be injured and plant operation will not be
adversely influenced even if the valve moves suddenly.
