Installation
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before mounting the DVC6000f Series
digital valve controller:
Always wear protective clothing
and eyewear when performing any
installation procedures.
Disconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure, electric power,
or a control signal to the actuator. Be
sure the actuator cannot suddenly
open or close the valve.
Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
valve from process pressure. Relieve
process pressure from both sides of
the valve.
Vent the pneumatic actuator
loading pressure and relieve any
actuator spring precompression.
Use lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the
equipment.
Check with your process or
safety engineer for any additional
measures that must be taken to
protect against process media.
