Section 6 Maintenance and
The DVC6200p digital valve controller enclosure is rated Type 4X and IP66, therefore periodic cleaning of internal
components is not required. If the DVC6200p is installed in an area where the exterior surfaces tend to get heavily
coated or layered with industrial or atmospheric contaminants, it is recommended that the vent (key 52) be
periodically removed and inspected to ensure there is no partial or full obstruction. If the vent appears to be partially or
fully obstructed, it must be cleaned or replaced. Lightly brush the exterior of the vent to remove contaminants and run
a mild water/detergent solution through the vent to ensure it is free of any obstruction. Allow the vent to dry before
.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent
opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover, do not rub or clean the cover with solvents. To do so could result in an
explosion. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance procedures on the DVC6200p digital valve controller:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
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 Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
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.
WARNING
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion-proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
D Remove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion
may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.
D Remove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
D When disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections or any pressure retaining part, natural gas will seep from the
unit and any connected equipment into the surrounding atmosphere. Personal injury or property damage may result
