VPC “BV” SERIES VALVE PILOT CONTROLLERS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
VPC “BV” Series Valve Gas Posioner Annual Maintenance Checklist
1. ________ VRG Controls recommends funconal inspecon of VPC “BV” Series Valve Pilot Controllers on an
annual basis.
2. ________ For operang regulators, VRG Controls recommends complete replacement of elastomers of VPC “BV”
Series Valve Pilot Controllers on a 5 year basis using VRG Controls repair kits.
3. ________ For monitor or standby regulators, VRG Controls recommends complete replacement of elastomers of
VPC “BV” Series Valve Pilot Controllers on a 10 year basis using VRG Controls repair kits.
4. ________ Isolate and remove pressure from all VPC “BV” components. Clean and inspect Adjustable Orice
Assemblies. Repressurize as appropriate.
5. ________ Soap Test All Diaphragm Mang Surfaces And Adjustable Orice Assembly to Check for Leaks.
6. ________ Check Integrity of VPC “BV” Pilot Balanced Valve/Seat Assemblies by increasing/decreasing the signal
such that full dierenal pressure is achieved on CLOSE/OPEN gages.
7. ________ Replace Elastomers Ulizing VRG Controls VPC “BV” Series Repair Kit if leaks are found. See the
Assembly Manual for the VPC “BV” Series Valve Pilot Controller.
8. ________ Check sensivity of VPC “BV”. Conrm proper cylinder balance pressures (OPEN / CLOSE Gages).
9. ________ Observe Operaon Of All Gages And Replace If Defecve.
10. ________ Perform Internal Fricon Test (rotate the adjusng screw at setpoint) observe accurate movement of
the output gauge in correct direcon.
Note: When increasing or decreasing the instrument signal, the output pressure should swing up and down
respecvely. When changing direcon of the false instrument signal, the output pressure should immediately
reverse direcon. Any “bump” or inial reacon of the gauge in the wrong direcon indicates fricon within
the components of the posioner. In the case where fricon is a problem the posioner must be disassembled
and rebuilt to eliminate it.
11. ________ Inspect And Verify Proper Operaon Of All VPC “BV” Accessories.
Note: It is not necessary to replace any elastomers in VRG Controls instrumentaon or instrumentaon
accessories on a regular basis. Industry best pracces promote rebuild using a VRG Controls spare parts kit on
a 5-year frequency. VRG Controls suggested maintenance frequency should never supersede any mandated
regulatory requirements or company mandated maintenance.
12. ________ PLEASE PROVIDE VPC SERIAL NUMBER TO FACILITATE ASSISTANCE.
