WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before proceeding with any
Installation procedures:
 Always wear protective clothing
and eyewear to prevent personal
injury.
 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. Drain the process media
from both sides of the valve.

Mounting Standard DVC6000 Series
Digital Valve Controllers
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the
factory mounts the digital valve controller on the
actuator, makes pneumatic connections to the
actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you
purchased the digital valve controller separately, you
will need a mounting kit to mount the digital valve
controller on the actuator. See the instructions that
come with the mounting kit for detailed information on
mounting the digital valve controller to a specific
actuator model.

WARNING
Refer to the Installation WARNING at 2
the beginning of this section.
The Type DVC6010 digital valve controller mounts on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 102 mm (4-inch)
travel. Figure 2-1 shows a typical mounting on an
actuator with up to 51 mm (2-inch) travel. Figure 2-2
shows a typical mounting on actuators with 51 to 102
mm (2- to 4-inch) travel. For actuators with greater
than 102 mm (4-inch) travel, see the guidelines for
mounting a Type DVC6020 digital valve controller.
Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 4 inches of travel.
1. Attach the connector arm to the valve stem
connector.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the digital valve
controller housing.
3. If valve travel exceeds 2 inches, a feedback arm
extension is attached to the existing 2-inch feedback
arm. Remove the existing bias spring from the 2-inch
feedback arm. Attach the feedback arm extension to
the feedback arm as shown in figure 2-2.
4. Mount the digital valve controller on the actuator as
described in the mounting kit instructions.
5. Set the position of the feedback arm on the digital
valve controller to the no air position by inserting the
alignment pin through the hole on the feedback arm as
follows:
 For air-to-open actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air
pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘A’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the
casing or lower cylinder increases.
 For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as
air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘B’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates clockwise,
from B to A, as air pressure to the casing or upper
cylinder increases.

Output Connection
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its output
piped to the supply connection on the actuator. If
mounting the digital valve controller in the field,
connect the 1/4-inch NPT digital valve controller output
connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.
Single-Acting Actuators
When connecting a single-acting direct digital valve
controller (relay type A) to a single-acting actuator, the
OUTPUT B connection must be plugged. Connect
OUTPUT A to the actuator diaphragm casing. The
gauge for OUTPUT B is not used. It must be replaced
with a screened vent.
When connecting a single-acting reverse digital valve
controller (relay type B) to a single-acting actuator, the
OUTPUT A connection must be plugged. Connect
OUTPUT B to the actuator diaphragm casing. The
gauge for OUTPUT A is not used and can be replaced
with a pipe plug.
Double-Acting Actuators
DVC6000 digital valve controllers on double-acting
actuators always use relay type A. With no input
current, OUTPUT A is at 0 pressure and OUTPUT B is
at full supply pressure when the relay is properly
adjusted.
To have the actuator stem extend from the cylinder
with increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the
upper actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT
B to the lower cylinder connection. Figure 2-11 shows
the digital valve controller connected to a
double-acting piston actuator.
To have the actuator stem retract into the cylinder with
increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the
lower actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT
B to the upper cylinder connection.
Vent
The relay output constantly bleeds a small amount of
supply air into the area under the cover. The vent
openings at the back of the housing should be left
open to prevent pressure buildup under the cover. If a
remote vent is required, the vent lines must be as
short as possible with a minimum number of bends
and elbows.

HARTR Filter
Depending on the control system you are using, a
HART filter may be needed to allow HART
communication. The HART filter is an active device
that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The
filter is normally installed near the field wiring terminals
of the control system I/O (see figure 2-13). Its purpose
is to effectively isolate the control system output from
modulated HART communication signals and raise the
impedance of the control system to allow HART
communication. For more information on the
description and use of the HART filter, refer to the
appropriate separate HART filter instruction manual.
To determine if your system requires a filter, refer to
the FIELDVUE DVC6000 Series Digital Valve
Controller instruction manual, Form 5647.

WARNING
Changes to the tuning set may cause
the valve/actuator assembly to stroke.
To avoid personal injury and property
damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, provide
some temporary means of control for
the process.
 Tuning Set There are eleven tuning sets from
which to choose. Each tuning set provides preselected
values for the digital valve controller gain and rate
settings. Typically, tuning set C provides the slowest
response and M provides the fastest response. For
smaller actuators, use tuning set C or D. For larger
actuators, use tuning set F or G.
In addition, you can select User Adjusted or Expert,
which allows you to modify tuning of the digital valve
controller. With User Adjusted you can specify the
proportional gain. An algorithm in the Field
Communicator calculates the other gains. With Expert
you can specify not only the proportional gain but the
velocity and minor loop feedback gain as well.
The tuning sets suggested by the Setup Wizard are
only recommended starting points. After you finish
setting up and calibrating the instrument, run the
Performance Tuner or use Stabilize/Optimize Tuning
to obtain optimum tuning.

Factory Defaults
During basic setup, the Setup Wizard will ask you if
you want to use factory defaults. If you select YES,
the Setup Wizard sets the setup parameters to the
values listed in table 3-1. (Yes is recommended for
initial setup). If you select NO, the setup parameters
listed in the table remain at their previous settings.
Relay Adjustment
Before beginning calibration, check the relay
adjustment. To check relay adjustment, select Relay
Adjust from the Auto Setup menu. Follow the prompts
on the Field Communicator display. Replace the digital
valve controller cover when finished.
Single-Acting Actuators
For single-acting direct digital valve controllers, make
sure the adjustment disc is against the beam, as
shown in figure 3-4. For single-acting reverse digital
valve controllers, the relay is adjusted at the factory,
no further adjustment is necessary.
Double-Acting Actuators
For double-acting actuators, rotate the adjustment
disc, shown in figure 3-4, until the value displayed on
the Field Communicator is between 50 and 70% of
supply pressure.
If the low bleed relay option has been ordered
stabilization may take approximately two minutes
longer than the standard relay.

WARNING
During calibration the valve will move

and property damage caused by the
release of pressure or process fluid,
provide some temporary means of
control for the process.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display
to automatically calibrate instrument travel. The
calibration procedure uses the valve and actuator
stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
Select Auto Calib Travel from the Auto Setup menu.

select the method of crossover adjustment: manual,

recommended for initial travel calibration.
2. When prompted by the Field Communicator, make
the crossover adjustment by adjusting the current
source until the feedback arm is 90° to the actuator
stem, as shown in figure 3-5.
3. The remainder of the auto-calibration procedure is
automatic. After completing auto travel calibration, the
Field Communicator prompts you to place the
instrument In Service and verify that the travel
properly tracks the current source.
If the unit does not calibrate, refer to table 3-2 for error
messages and possible remedies.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve
cycles or overshoots (unstable), or is unresponsive
(sluggish), you can improve operation by selecting
either Performance Tuner or Stabilize/Optimize from
the Auto Setup menu.

Table 3-2. Auto Calibrate Travel Error Messages
Possible Problem and Remedy
The analog input signal to the instrument must be greater than 3.8 mA. Adjust the current output from
the control system or the current source to provide at least 4.0 mA.
The Instrument Mode must be Out of Service and the Protection must be None before the instrument
can be calibrated.
The problem may be one or the other of the following:
1. The tuning set selected is too low and the valve does not reach an end point in the allotted time.
Press the Hot Key, select Stabilize/Optimize then Increase Response (selects next higher tuning set).
2. The tuning set selected is too high, valve operation is unstable and does not stay at an end point for
the allotted time. Press the Hot Key, select Stabilize/Optimize then Decrease Response (selects next
lower tuning set).
Verify proper mounting by referring to the appropriate mounting instructions.
Verify instrument supply pressure by referring to the specifications in the appropriate actuator instruction
manual.
Making the crossover adjustment with the valve positioned at either end of its travel will also cause this
message to appear.
The instrument may have been taken out of service by a primary master. Put the instrument into service
with the primary master or cycle the power off and on.

Using the Performance Tuner Stabilize/Optimize permits you to adjust valve

response by changing the digital valve controller
tuning.

If the valve is unstable, select Decrease Response to

Note stabilize valve operation. This selects the next lower
tuning set (e.g., F to E). If the valve response is
The performance tuner is not available sluggish, select Increase Response to make the valve
for instrument levels AC or HC. more responsive. This selects the next higher tuning
set (e.g., F to G).

The performance tuner is used to optimize digital valve

controller tuning. It can be used on most sliding-stem
and rotary designs, including Fisher and other
manufacturers’ products. Moreover, because the
performance tuner can detect internal instabilities
before they become apparent in the travel response, it
can generally optimize tuning more effectively than
manual tuning. Typically, the performance tuner takes
3 to 5 minutes to tune an instrument, although tuning
instruments mounted on larger actuators may take
longer.
Access the performance tuner by selecting
Performance Tuner from the Auto Setup menu. Follow
the prompts on the Field Communicator display to
optimize digital valve controller tuning.
Stabilizing or Optimizing Valve
Response
If after completing setup and calibration the valve
seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can
improve operation by pressing the Hot Key
selecting Stabilize/Optimize, or select
Stabilize/Optimize from the Auto Setup menu.
Note
If the tuning set is User Adjusted it will
stay as User Adjusted during Stabilize/
Optimize, unless you change the
damping, in which case it will become
Expert.
If after selecting Decrease Response or Increase
Response the valve travel overshoot is excessive you
can adjust the damping by selecting Decrease
Damping or Increase Damping. By selecting Decrease
Damping or Increase Damping the tuning set will
become Expert, and allow you to select a damping
value that is not represented in a predefined tuning
set. Select Decrease Damping to select a damping
and value that allows more overshoot. Select Increase
Damping to select a damping value that will decrease
the overshoot.

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTUATOR

- General description

The LP/S series are pneumatic single acting actuators, specifically designed to operate gate or
globe valve by means of coil springs.
These actuators can be fitted with an emergency manual override suitable to operate the
actuator in the event of fluid supply failure. This device can be mechanical screw or bevel gear
type, operated by means of a side or top hand wheel.
It also available for hydraulic type, with a cylinderical operated by the hand-pump.

- The main components of these units are the following:

1. The pneumatic cylinder made of “STPG”-carbon steel pipe for pressure vessel, whose walls
are fully chromium plated, in order to reduce roughness of their surface to a minimum valve
and to provide highest protection against corrosion.
The relevant piston is made of carbon steel and is sealed by o-rings and guide sliding ring in
PTFE and BRONZE.
The piston rod is chromium plated in order to prevent corrosion and to minimize the sliding
friction on the dynamic seals.

II. INSTRUCTION TO ASSEMBLE ACTUATOR ONTO THE VALVE

The assembling position of the actuator must comply with costomer’st requirements on the each
of valves.

In order to assemble the actuator onto the valve, proceed as follows:

1. Check that the mounting dimensions of the valve flange and stem, or the relevant extension,
meet the actuator mounting dimensions.

2. Loosen the fixing screws of the valve coupling and actuator coupling.

3. Fasten the tie-rods coupling the valve and actuator on the Lw. flange.

4. Arrange the valve in the open or closed position (depending on the actuator actual position).

5. Screw the coupling adaptor after putting the valve coupling in the valve stem.

6. Lift the actuator by connecting hooks, chains or ropes suitable for the weight, to the support
points of the actuator.
If possible, place on the valve stem in the vertical position, in order to make to assembly
easier: in this case lift the actuator keeping its flange in the horizontal position.

7. Lower the actuator onto the valve mounting flange and fasten the tie-rods of actuator to the
flange by screwing the nuts.

8. Reassemble the actuator coupling, valve coupling and coupling adaptor by screwing the bolts.

III. START-UP

- Arrangement for start-up

1. Before connecting the actuator to the pneumatic supply line, check that pipes and fitting are
according to the applicable plant specifications, in order to guarantee the required air flow for
the actuator operation and to avoid that the supply pressure drops below the minimum
allowable value.

2. Clean the inside of the pipes used for connection by washing them with suitable detergent
and by blowing air into them.
Take every precaution to remove any solid or liquid foreign matter from the pipe work to the
actuator, so as to avoid possible damages to the actuator itself or loss of performance.

3. Fasten the piping in a right way, in order not to cause loosening of threaded connections, in
case that the system undergoes strong vibrations.

4. After the completion of the pneumatic connections, operate the actuator and check that it
works correctly.
Also check that its operating times are in accordance with those specified in the test
certificate and that there are not leakage in the pneumatic connections.

- During the start-up of the actuator, it is necessary to check that;

1. The pressure of the fluid supply, as well as its quality (filtering degree, dehydration) are as
prescribed,

2. The feed voltage values of the electric components (solenoid valves coils, micro-switches,
pressure switches etc., if applicable) are as prescribed,

3. The actuator controls, such as remote control, local control, emergency control etc. (if
applicable), are properly working,

4. The required remote signals (such as valve position, fluid supply pressure, etc.) are correct,

5. The setting of the components of the actuator control unit is according to the requirements of

the plant,

6. The pneumatic connections do not show any leakage. If necessary, tighten the nuts of the
pipe fittings,

7. The painted parts have not been damaged during the transport, assembling or storage
operations, After having removed rust, repair the damaged parts by following the applicable
painting specifications.

IV. REPLACEMENT OF CYLINDER SEALS

When the cylinder seals must be replaced, because of a leakage or of a preventive

scheduled maintenance, proceed as described here below.

1. Arrange the valve in the closed position.

2. Disconnect the all of pneumatic and electric connection from the actuator.

3. Loosen the fixing screws of the valve coupling and actuator coupling, and disassemble the
valve coupling, actuator coupling and coupling adaptor.

4. Loosen the nuts from the tie-rods and remove the actuator from the valve.

5. Must be set the actuator on the press assembling machine or suitable jacketing device to
eliminate the force by compressed springs.

6. Unscrew the nut on the Up. flange.

7. Remove the Up. flange.

8. Remove the springs and spring guide.

9. Remove the cylinder.

10. Unscrew the fixing bolts and then remove the piston stopper from the piston.

11. Unscrew the set screws from the piston.

12. Disassemble the piston and rod.

13. Unscrew the bolt from the packing adaptor inserted in Lw. flange.

14. Take out the packing adaptor.

15. Remove the all of o-rings and packing and carefully clean the relative grooves.

16. Replace the all of o-rings and packing after greasing, and lubricate slightly.

17. Proceed with reassembling operation by taking care not to damage the seals.

18. After reassembling, carry out a few operations with the actuator to check that its movement
is regular and that there is no leakage through the seals.

V. STORAGE

The actuators leave the SEIL-SERES company in excellent finish and working conditions
which are guaranteed by the inspection certificate issued for each single actuator.

- In order to keep the actuators in good conditions until they are assembled on the plant, it is
recommended to follow the rules listed here below, during the storage period:

a) Check that the plugs are properly assembled on the pneumatic and electric
connections, in order to close and to protect them against the entry of foreign matters
and water during transport and storage.

b) The actuators, which are not yet assembled onto the valves, must be placed onto a
wooden pallet, in order to prevent any damage to the valve coupling flange.

- Long-term storage

In the event of a long-term storage, the following rules are also recommended:

- Protect the coupling parts (adapter and coupling joint, flange, etc.) with grease or
protective oil.

- Keep the actuators in a dry place or provide some means of protection against the
direct action of weather agents.

- If possible, we also recommended operating periodically the actuators with filtered,

dehydrated and lubricated air. After this operation, all the threaded connection must be
carefully closed.

VI. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

As the actuators have been designed to work for long periods in the most severe conditions,
they do not need any specific maintenance.
However, we recommend periodically checking that:

- The actuators operate the valve correctly and with the required operating time.
Carry out some opening and closing operations with all the existing controls (such as
remote control – local control – emergency control), if the working conditions of the plant
allow to do this and if the actuators is not frequently operated,

- the signals to the control board are correct,

- the fluid supply pressure value is within the required range.

- the external components of the actuator are in good conditions,

This control can be carried out visually.

- The hydraulic / pneumatic connections do not show any leakage.

If necessary, tighten the nuts of the pipe fittings,

- the painting work of the actuator has not been damaged, because it could happen that
some areas need a touch-up according to the applicable painting specifications.
