Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our AVP703 Smart Valve Positioner. The AVP703 (called
“the device” below) is a smart valve positioner that can be connected to the Foundation
Fieldbus.

The auto setup function makes it easy to set up the valve.

All adjustments and setup can be performed from the Foundation Fieldbus host. The Local
User Interface (LUI), which consists of the LCD (liquid crystal display) and operation
buttons, facilitates monitoring of input signals, valve opening, pressure display, and other
items as well as basic adjustments.

In addition, the built-in pressure sensor can be used to measure the supply air pressure and
output air pressure. As a result, the device can not only perform self-diagnostics but can
also be combined with the control valve maintenance support system called “Valstaff ” in
order to monitor the characteristics, operating status, and other data of the control valve,
helping to improve the maintenance efficiency of control valves. This instruction manual
describes how to handle the device. Read this manual to make full use of the features of
this product.

2-3. Installation Procedure

2-3-1. Mounting the 700 Series onto the Actuator

The device is a smart valve positioner for use with a control valve that uses a direct-acting
or rotary actuator. The main unit of the device weighs approximately 4.2 kg. The basic
mounting procedure is the same as that for conventional electropneumatic positioners.

CAUTION

Be careful not to get injured by sharp parts such as the edge of the main unit or actuator or screw
threads during mounting.

The type of mounting plate, mounting method, and mounting procedure differ depending on the
actuator model to be mounted in the device.

If the device is not properly mounted, not only will the device not be able to operate at its true
performance but it may be damaged or fail. Pay attention to the following points.

•

The mounting plate and its accessories differ depending on the specifications (actuator model).
Be sure to use the appropriate mounting plate and accessories for the actuator to be mounted.

•

When installing the control valve, ensure as much surrounding space as possible and put the
device in the correct orientation taking maintainability (such as piping, wiring, and adjustment)
into consideration.

•

Deliver the device to the installation location in the packaged state if possible.

•

Do not apply excessive force to the feedback lever during mounting.

•

Do not bend the feedback pin.

•

Do not block the exhaust port located underneath.

•

Install the device so that the electrical conduit connection port does not face upward.

•

Securely tighten bolts.

•

If the model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter is installed with the device, install with the drain
of the KZ03 facing downward. If the KZ03 cannot be attached vertically (with the drain facing
downward), install it separated from the AVP with the proper orientation.

•

In order to avoid the possibility of rainwater entering the pressure gauge, install the gauge
such that it does not face upward or downward. In addition, the pressure gauge has a rainwater
drain on its underside, so install the gauge with this hole facing downward.

•

Mount the lever so that it is horizontal when opened by 50%.

•

The allowable rotation angle of the feedback lever is horizontal ± 30°. If the angle ex­ceeds ±30°, the self-diagnostic function detects Valve Travel Detector Out of Range and
the device will not operate normally. (The accuracy is guaranteed when the rotation
angle is between ±4° and ±20°.)

6) Installing the device with the LCD facing upwards

If you install the device with the LCD facing upwards, use the accessories below as re­quired depending on the circumstances. (Refer to 6-9, “Resale Parts.”)

•

LCD cover (material: silicone rubber)
This cover reduces deterioration of the LCD due to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation). Use
the cover if the device is used in a place with strong sunlight (outdoors, etc.).

Before mounting or removing the LCD cover, it is necessary to remove the face cover from the main
unit. Take care as you work not to touch sharp parts of the face cover, such as the rim. You might be
injured.

Handling Precautions:

Remove the face cover when checking the LCD.

•

Pressure gauge elbows (Connection: Rc1/8)
The elbows are for mounting the pressure gauges if the device is installed in a place with
direct exposure to rainwater (outdoors, etc.). (If the pressure gauges are installed facing
upward, they will be damaged by rainwater.

2-3-2. Pneumatic Piping Connection

Supply air

This section describes how to supply the air for the device to drive the actuator.

1) Air supply system

Supply air must be clean and dry to stably use the device for a long time. A typical example
of an air supply system is shown in the figure below.

2) Supply air

Use supply air that conforms to the instrumentation air standards (on page 2-2).

3) Solenoid valve with filter

•

The solenoid valve with filter is used to adjust the pressure of the supply air to the device.

•

Install this valve as close to the main unit of the device as possible.

•

The control valve can be manually operated by using the A/M switching function. (The
double-acting actuator does not support manual operation.)

•

Use a 3-μm or finer filter.

•

The filter removes solid materials from supply air.

•

If the filter is not equipped, separately insert a (3-μm or finer) filter immediately before
the solenoid valve.

•

Install the solenoid valve so that the drain faces downward.

•

If you select the built-in Azbil solenoid valve KZ03, the filter is built into the device be­fore shipment.

4) Shutoff valve

•

The shutoff valve is used to temporarily stop supplying air to the device.

•

With this valve, the device or control valve can be removed without having to stop the
whole air supply system during maintenance or other operations.

5) Piping

•

Use piping with an inside diameter of 6 mm.

•

When using the device in a corrosive atmosphere, select piping appropriate to the environ­ment of the installation location. For example, you may use the vinyl-coated copper pipe.

•

To prevent air leaks, be sure to use a fitting that is appropriate for the pipe.

6) Connection positions

The positions of the supply air connection port and output air connection port are shown
in the figure below. Select the dimensions of the connection port screws according to the
specifications.

Handling Precautions:

Output air connection port (OUT2)

(For double-acting actuator)

Figure 2-15. Pneumatic Piping Connection

When connecting the electromagnetic valve for emergency shutoff, air valve, or
other part, install it between the output air connection and the actuator rather
than the supply air connection side of the device.

Chapter 2 Installation of the 700 Series

7) Mounting procedure

The procedure for connecting pneumatic piping to operate the device is shown below.

Step Description

Connect the joint for piping to the connection port using seal tape.

Handling Precautions:

•

1

Use seal tape as the seal material. Avoid using solid or liquid seal material
if possible.

•

Do not let the seal tape get in the piping.

•

If you do use a liquid seal, make sure that no drops of the seal material get
in the piping.

Connect the supply and output pipes to each joint in consideration of the ar­rangement of the piping.

Handling Precautions:

•

2

3 After all piping is complete, make sure that air does not leak.

For the double-acting actuator, the connection between output air con­nection ports OUT1 and OUT2 and the actuator is determined by the
valve operation. Check the valve operation before connecting pipes.

•

Sufficiently flush piping before connection to prevent burrs on the piping
or other foreign objects from getting in the piping.

•

Keep the output air piping as short as possible.
