Installation and Set Up

Installing the SVI II AP Remote Position Sensor

The Remote Position Sensor, is a remotely mounted position-sensing device that
is connected electrically to an SVI II AP digital valve positioner. It is used as
position feedback in applications where direct mounting of an SVI II AP to a valve
actuator is not practical due, typically but not limited to, extreme vibration, heat or
radiation.
The Remote Position Sensor is a potentiometer located in an enclosure which can
be mounted on a valve or damper to indicate stem position when connected to a
suitable receiver. There is a three wire connection provided on a screw terminal
block to interconnect to the receiving device.
The SVI II AP Remote Position Sensor is suitable for installation outdoors in an
industrial environment. Mounting kits are provided to permit mounting on a variety
of valves.
