Optional Vented Design - Flowserve Logix 3400MD User Instructions

0 WARNING: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
1. Make sure the valve is bypassed or in a safe condition.
2. Disconnect the power and air supply to the unit.
3. Remove the main cover.
4. Remove the plastic board cover by removing the three retaining
screws (see Figure 16).
5. Remove the retaining screw from the main PCB assembly and lift
the main PCB out of the housing (see Figure 16). It is not necessary
to disconnect all of the wires, only the UI plug.
6. Remove the user interface cover.
7. Disconnect the field wiring from the user interface board terminals
and remove the three screws that hold the user interface board in
the housing (see Figure 6).
8. Remove the user interface board, carefully pulling the wiring
through the bore.
9. Verify that the O-ring is in place in the counterbore in the positioner
housing, or on the plug on the back of the UI tray.
10. Feed the wires on the back of the new user interface board through
the passageway into the main chamber of the housing.
11. Set the user interface board in place and secure with three screws
(see Figure 6).
12. Reconnect the field wiring to the user interface board terminals.
13. Install the main PCB into the housing. Insert the retaining screw
through the board into the threaded boss and tighten evenly, using
a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
14. Install the plastic board cover. Insert the three retaining screws
through the plastic cover into the threaded boss and tighten evenly,
using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten (see Figure 16).
15. Reinstall the UI wire connection (see Figure 12).
16. Reinstall all covers.

Optional Vented Design

NOTE: See Figures 19 and 20
A standard Logix 3400MD positioner is vented directly to the atmo-
sphere. When supply air is substituted with sweet natural gas, piping
must be used to route the exhausted natural gas to a safe environment.
This piping system may cause some positioner back pressure in the
Logix 3400MD Digital Positioner FCD LGENIM3404-00 – 9/09
main chamber (from the modulator and regulator) and spool chamber
(from the actuator). Back pressure limitations are described below.
Two chambers must be vented on the Logix 3400MD positioners: the
main housing chamber and the spool valve chamber (Figures 20 and
21). The main chamber vent is located on the backside of the posi-
tioner (see Figure 20). Vented-design Logix 3400MD positioners are
supplied from the factory with a fitting installed in the main chamber
vent. Connect the necessary tubing/piping to this fitting to route the
exhausted natural gas to a safe environment.
The maximum allowable back pressure from the collection device on
the main housing vent is 2.0 psig (0.14 barg). Vent flow rate is 0.5 std
ft /min (1.4 std liter/min).

0 WARNING: The back pressure in the main housing must never
rise above 2.0 psig (0.14 barg).
Figure 20: Main Housing Vent
Figure 21: Spool Cover Vent
The spool valve chamber (see Figure 21) must also be vented through
the spool valve cover. Vented-design Logix 3400MD positioners are
supplied from the factory with a fitting installed in the spool valve cover
(item SKU 179477). Connect the necessary tubing/piping to this fitting
to route the exhausted natural gas to a safe environment. The maximum
allowable back pressure in the spool valve chamber is 8 psig (0.55
barg). Pressures greater than 8 psig will cause vented gas to leak past
the spool cover O-ring to the atmosphere and will result in overshoot of
the positioner.
