There are moving parts between the actuator and the valve.
To avoid injury FLOWSERVE provides pinch-point-protection
in the form of cover plates, especially with side-mounted
positioners. Special attention is required when removing these
plates for inspection, service or repair. Refit the cover plates
after completing work.
Logix 3800zb positioner repair is limited to the replacement of
sub-assemblies and circuit boards with FLOWSERVE-

2.8 Natural Gas Service
The use of natural gas as an actuation medium with a
FLOWSERVE Logix 3800zb positioner and solenoid valve is
acceptable.
CAUTION: The natural gas used must be sweet natural
gas. Use of sour natural gas may cause positioner to fail
prematurely.
DANGER: The solenoid-controlled valve, controlled by the
Logix 3800zb, is vented directly to atmosphere. The sweet
natural gas as the supply requires piping to route the
exhausted natural gas to a safe environment. Refer to section
5.5, Venting, for venting details.
With natural gas is used as an actuation
medium, appropriately rated gas tight electrical feedthroughs
are required at each positioner housing conduit connection
for Explosionproof and Flameproof installations. Refer to
sections 6.2.4 for additional details.
