Partial Stroke Test using ValveLink™ Mobile
Software

A partial stroke test allows DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers to perform a diagnostic test while the instrument is in
service and operational. In a safety application, it is important to be able to exercise and test the valve to verify that it
will open or close when commanded. If a safety demand arises, the partial stroke test will abort and the valve will move
to its commanded position.

The test procedure contained in this Instruction Manual Supplement is to be considered as a guideline only and should
be modified to address site‐specific requirements. Use this procedure in conjunction with the Safety Manual
(D103601X012
