Mounting The Svi Ii Ap; Necessary Precautions - GE SVI II AP-2 Quick Start Manual

Installation and Set Up

Mounting the SVI II AP

This guide provides installation instructions for mounting an SVI II AP on both
rotary and reciprocating actuated valves. The mounting process can be broken
down into the following:
NOTE

Necessary Precautions

To avoid injury or the process being affected when installing or replacing a
positioner on a control valve, ensure that:
It is now safe to disconnect and remove any valve mounted equipment that is
being replaced.
For the procedure to mount rotary and reciprocating valves, refer to the Mounting
Instructions contained in the valve's Mounting Box kit.
Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
Install the magnetic assembly.
Assemble the SVI II AP on the mounting bracket.
The SVI II AP should be mounted with the conduit
connections down in order to facilitate drainage of
condensate from the conduit.
If the valve is located in a hazardous area make sure the area has been
certified as safe or that all electrical power to the area has been
disconnected before removing any covers or disconnecting any leads.
Shut off air supply to the actuator and to any valve mounted equipment.
Ensure the valve is isolated from the process by either shutting off the
process or using bypass valves for isolation. Tag shutoff or bypass
valves to guard against a turn-on while work is in progress.
Bleed air from actuator and check that valve is in its unenergized
position.
