Checking the Magnet There are two methods of checking the SVI II AP magnet: Perform a visual inspection Use ValVue to check the magnet Performing a Visual Inspection To perform a visual inspection refer to Table 3 on page 24 and ensure that the magnet is correct- ly oriented for the actuator/valve configuration.
Installing the SVI II AP for Double- Acting Operation This section explains how to mount the SVI II AP for the 84/85/86 kit for double-acting valve po- sitioner configurations. To mount the kit: 1. Set valve to the closed position.
Connecting the Tubing and Air Supply The last step in hardware installation for the SVI II AP is to connect the air supply to the positioner. This section describes the process for connecting the tubing and air supply to a single and double acting positioner.
Wiring the SVI II AP In order for the SVI II AP to communicate the positioner data the SVI II AP positioner must be physically connected to a HART® communication. The procedure below outlines wiring the SVI II AP.
Compliance voltage at the SVI II AP must be 9 V at the maximum current of 20 mA. Signal to the SVI II AP must be a regulated current in the range 3.2 to 22 mA. ® Controller output circuit must be unaffected by the HART tones which are in the frequency range between 1200 and 2200 Hz.
SVI II AP. If the SVI II AP is located in a haz- ardous area with Intrinsically Safe protection a barrier is not required for a flameproof installa- tion.
2. Connect a milliampmeter in series with the current signal. 3. Verify that source can supply 20 mA to SVI II AP input. If 20 mA is not attainable, troubleshoot the source and set up. NOTE Improperly or inadequately grounded installations can cause noise or instability in the control loop.
Calibration Overview This section provides the calibration procedures to ensure proper valve positioning. Operational checkout, configuration and calibration procedures are described using an SVI II AP that has a display with pushbuttons. Perform all procedures in this section before putting NOTE the SVI II AP into operation.
Inspecting Actuator, Linkages, or Rotary Adapter Verify that the mounting has not been damaged in shipment for a pre-mounted SVI II AP, physi- cally inspect the actuator, linkage. Record the following information for the configuration check- out: 1. Valve Air to Open (ATO) or Air to Close (ATC) 2.
