Using this Guide
This guide describes how to install the digital valve controller and setup and calibrate using the local operator
interface. The interface consists of a liquid crystal display, four pushbuttons, and a switch for position transmitter
configuration. The DVC2000 is supplied with one of three different language packs preinstalled, depending on the
firmware revision and ordering option. Language pack options are shown in table 1 on page 19. To configure the
language, follow the procedure outlined in the Basic Setup section. The instrument must be powered with at least 8.5
volts and 3.5 mA to operate the local interface. Certain procedures require up to 20 mA of current.
You can also setup and calibrate the instrument using a Field Communicator, a personal computer with ValveLink
™
software or AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager. For information on using the software with a FIELDVUE instrument,
refer to the appropriate user guide or help.
Maintenance procedures for replaceable components are included on page 29.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC2000 digital valve controller without being fully trained and qualified in
valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage,
it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all contents of this quick start guide, including all safety
cautions and warnings. Refer to the appropriate supplement listed below for hazardous area approvals and special

Installation
Note
The DVC2000 is not designed to correct for significant stem rotation on sliding stem actuators.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before mounting
the DVC2000 digital valve controller:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any installation procedures.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D 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 control valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the control valve from process pressure. Relieve process
pressure from both sides of the control valve.
