Section 1
1.1
INSTALLATION
Safety Instructions
This entire section should be read before proceeding with the installation.
•
Operating limits are stated in section 3, Technical Characteristics, on this manual.
•
The positioner must only be installed, operated, and maintained by qualified personnel with fully
trained in field equipment installation.
•
Installation in hazardous areas must be in accordance with IEC60079-14 standard.
•
Before starting any assembly or disassembly of the actuator/positioner set, the electrical supply
and pneumatic supply must be removed. The actuator line must also be emptied. Stay away from
moving parts to avoid serious injury.
•
When test cycling the actuator and valve assembly by applying pressure to the pneumatic port, be
aware that there are moving parts can cause serious injuries.
•
The positioner requires instrument air quality, following the best practices for pneumatic
installations. Consult the American National Standard "Quality Standard for Instrument Air"
(ANSI/ISA S7.0.01 or ISO 8573-1) for detailed information.
•
Blow out all piping before connections are made to prevent dirt or debris from entering the
positioner. Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. Liquid sealants are recommended
for the pipe threads.
•
In areas subjected to high relative humidity, the O-rings for the electronic housing covers must be
correctly placed and the covers must be completely closed by tighten them by hand until you feel
the O-rings being compressed. Do not use tools to tight the covers. Removal of the electronics
cover in the field should be reduced to the minimum necessary, since each time it is removed; the
circuits are exposed to the humidity.
•
The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof coating, but frequent exposures to humidity
may affect the protection provided. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in place. Every
time they are removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since painting cannot protect these
parts. Sealing methods should be employed on conduit entering of the positioner.
Mounting
The FY500 housing is available in NAMUR and VDI/VDE mounting interfaces. It provides direct
mounting to various linear or rotary actuators depending on the actuator mounting method and
threaded connection type.
WARNING
The positioner must only be installed, operated, and maintained by qualified personnel
with fully trained in field equipment installation.
This product ships with plastic plugs in the conduit entries in an effort to protect the internal
components from debris during shipment and handling. Remove plastic plugs only during installation
to prevent the intrusion of debris or moisture.
It is the responsibility of the installer, or end user, to install this product in accordance with the
national or regional code defining proper practices.
