Remote Travel Sensor Connections - Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6200 Instruction Manual

Installation
May 2013
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion, can result from the discharge of static electricity. Connect
2
a 14 AWG (2.08 mm ) ground strap between the digital valve controller and earth ground when flammable or hazardous
gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding requirements.
4. As shown in figure 2‐24, two ground terminals are available for connecting a safety ground, earth ground, or drain
wire. The safety ground is electrically identical to the earth ground. Make connections to these terminals following
national and local codes and plant standards.
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.
5. Replace and hand tighten the terminal box cap. To secure the terminal box cap engage the lock screw. When the
loop is ready for startup, apply power to the control system output channel.

Remote Travel Sensor Connections

The DVC6205 base unit is designed to receive travel information via the Emerson Process Management supplied
DVC6215 feedback unit.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage, caused by wiring failure, can result if the feedback wiring connecting the base unit
with the remote feedback unit shares a conduit with any other power or signal wiring.
Do not place feedback wiring in the same conduit as other power or signal wiring.
Note
4‐conductor shielded cable, 18 to 22 AWG minimum wire size, in rigid or flexible metal conduit, is required for connection
between base unit and feedback unit. Pneumatic tubing between base unit output connection and actuator has been tested to
91 meters (300 feet). At 15 meters (50 feet) there was no performance degradation. At 91 meters there was minimal pneumatic
lag.
1. On the feedback unit, remove the housing cap.
2. On the base unit, remove the feedback connections terminal box cap (see figure 2‐21).
3. Install conduit between the feedback unit and the base unit following applicable local and national electrical codes.
Route the 4‐conductor shielded cable between the two units (refer to figure 2‐25).
4. Connect one wire of the 4‐conductor shielded cable between terminal 1 on the feedback unit and terminal 1 on the
base unit.
5. Connect the second wire of the 4‐conductor shielded cable between terminal 2 on the feedback unit and terminal 2
on the base unit.
