Introduction

Scope of Manual

This instruction manual provides installation, operation, maintenance, and parts information for the SS-263 volume
booster (figure 1). Refer to separate instruction manuals for information regarding the valve body, actuator, and other
accessories.
Do not install, operate, or maintain an SS-263 volume booster without being fully trained and qualified in valve,
actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is

Description

The SS-263 volume booster is used exclusively in Fisher Optimized Digital Valve (ODV) packages. The booster
amplifies the output signal from the FIELDVUE
actuators. It has fixed deadband and incorporates soft-seat construction for use with the Fisher 377 Trip Valve.
The booster features dynamically stabilized trim and integral bypass restriction for use with the digital valve controller.
The SS-263 volume booster delivers high-volume output for fast stroking speeds when responding to large input
signal changes. However, it also delivers smooth, stable, low-volume output when responding to small input signal
changes. This allows stable, accurate throttling control which is often necessary during the startup or commissioning
of process control equipment.
