Page 34: Starpac 3 Wiring And Grounding Guidelines
RS-485 network connected to multiple devices must not have more than one grounding point. Flowserve's RS-232/RS-485 converter is not a grounded connection; it is fully isolated and is not a ground point. However, PC's with internal RS-485 cards are often earth grounded and if another communication device is on the network that also has an earth ground, a fault condition will almost certainly exist due to transient and steady state differences in ground potential.
Page 35: Starpac 3 Temperature Adc Factors
NOTE: You must use the F values for these calculations, as those are the native units the StarPac 3 first calculates. It then converts this calculation to the desired units and outputs the result to register 30403 in user units. © Flowserve Corporation Version 1.0.0 – Printed November 1, 2013...
Page 36 If you want to 'fine tune' the reading make small adjustments to the slope value in register 40487. Increasing the value will increase the reading and decreasing the value will decrease the reading. © Flowserve Corporation Version 1.0.0 – Printed November 1, 2013...
Page 37: Primary Control Registers And Modes For Starpac 3 Systems Using Modbus
0 = Manual, 100 = Auto. Remote Mode Source is used when a host system such as a PLC or DCS or a Flowserve StarPac Analog Interface Box (SPAIF) is used to set the mode via digital communications. The difference between Remote and Digital modes is that in Remote mode the only time that the bumpless transfer calculation is done is after the mode in register 40703 has changed from one value to another.
Page 38 Setup for the controller setpoint using any setpoint or command source (Analog, Digital or Remote) is set in the floating point registers shown in Table I according to the selected control variable selected in integer register 40039. © Flowserve Corporation Version 1.0.0 – Printed November 1, 2013...

The following simple textbook tuning methods are not comprehensive and only provide some basic steps for tuning the controller of the StarPac. Flowserve does not warranty or accept any responsibility for their use in a particular process. Note that process gains can be significantly different at different operating conditions.
