3.4 Mounting the Positioner
This section provides installation instructions for mounting an SVI3 on both rotary and
reciprocating actuated valves. The mounting process can be broken down into:
• Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
• Install the magnetic assembly (rotary only).
• Assemble the SVI3 on the mounting bracket.
3.4.1 Filter Regulator and Tubing
The use of a Masoneilan filter regulator with a 5-micron filter is recommended for the air
supply. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) minimum tubing between filter regulator, SVI3 and the
actuator, with 3/8" (9.53 mm) used for larger actuators. Use a soft setting anaerobic
hydraulic seal such as Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542 for sealing the pneumatic pipe threads.
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.4.2 Mounting the SVI3 on Rotary Valves
This procedure is used to mount the SVI3 on rotary control valves that have less than 60°
rotation, such as a Camflex or a Varimax. For valves that have rotation greater than 60°
refer to “Special Cases” on page 30.
Verify that the mounting has not been damaged in shipment for a pre-mounted SVI3.
Record the following information for the configuration checkout:
• Valve Air to Open (ATO) or Air to Close (ATC)
• Actuator pressure rating
• Actuator bench range
• Inherent trim characteristic of the control valve; linear, equal percentage, or other
CAUTION
Mount the SVI3 with the conduit connections down in order to
facilitate drainage of condensate from the conduit.
NOTE : Maximum allowable air supply pressure to the SVI3 varies according to
actuator and valve size and type. See pressure drop tables in valve
specification sheets to determine correct positioner supply pressure.
Minimum supply pressure should be 5 to 10 psi (.345 bar - .69 bar) (34.485 -
68.97 kPa) above maximum spring pressure.
WARNING
Do not remove the instrument cover or connect to an electrical
circuit in a Hazardous Area unless power is disconnected.
NOTE : Refer to the valve data sheet or model number of control valve.
