Pre-Installation Issues
Storage
If the SVI II AP is stored for a long duration, you must keep the housing sealed against weather,
fluids, particles, and insects. To prevent damage to the SVI II AP:
Use the plugs provided with shipment to plug the ¼ NPT air connections, on the
positioner and on the air filter regulator set.
Do not allow standing water to accumulate.
Observe storage temperature requirements.
Unpacking
Exercise care when unpacking the control valve and its mounted accessories.
Installation Steps
If you experience problems that are not documented in this guide call the factory or your local
representative. Sales offices are listed on the last page of this document.
Compliance voltage testing is best done before installation. See “Determining an SVI
Positioner Compliance Voltage in a Control System” on page 199.
