Before You Begin
Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6005 Series base unit and a DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
feedback unit without being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and
maintenance.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all
the contents of this quick start guide, including all safety cautions and warnings
. Refer to the appropriate instruction
manual supplement listed below for hazardous area approvals and special instructions for “safe use” and installations
in hazardous locations. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your
Business Partner before proceeding.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before proceeding
with any Installation procedures:
D
Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury or property damage.
D
Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D
Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D
Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D
Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D
Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover
with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gases or dust to explode, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
CAUTION
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.
