Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000
This guide provides installation instructions for mounting an SVi1000 on both rotary and
reciprocating style valves. The mounting process can be broken down into the following:
1.
Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
2.
Install the magnetic assembly.
3. Assemble the SVi1000 on the mounting bracket.
CAUTION
The SVi1000 cover must be in place and secured using all
four screws during operation.
NOTE
Mount the SVi1000 with the conduit connection down in
order to facilitate drainage of condensate from the conduit.
Necessary Precautions
To avoid injury or the process being affected when installing or replacing an SVi1000 positioner
on a control valve, ensure that:
o
If the valve is located in a hazardous area, ensure the area has been certified as
safe
or that all electrical power to the area has been disconnected before removing any
covers or disconnecting any leads.
o
Shut off air supply to the actuator and to any valve mounted equipment.
o
Ensure the valve is isolated from the process by either shutting off the process or
using bypass valves for isolation. Tag shutoff or bypass valves to guard against a
turn-
on
while work is in progress.
o
Bleed air from actuator and check that valve is in its unenergized position.
For the procedure to install rotary and reciprocating mounting kits on valves, refer to the
instructions contained in the valve’s mounting box kit.
