Instruction Manual

D102794X012

Specifications

This product was intended for a specific range of service conditions‐‐pressure, pressure drop, process and ambient
temperature, temperature variations, process fluid, and possibly other specifications. Do not expose the product to
service conditions or variables other than those for which the product was intended. If you are not sure what these
conditions or variables are, contact your Emerson sales office
other pertinent information that you have available.

for assistance. Provide the product serial number and all

Inspection and Maintenance Schedules

All products must be inspected periodically and maintained as needed. The schedule for inspection can only be
determined based on the severity of your service conditions. Your installation might also be subject to inspection
schedules set by applicable governmental codes and regulations, industry standards, company standards, or plant
standards.

In order to avoid increasing dust explosion risk, periodically clean dust deposits from all equipment.

When equipment is installed in a hazardous area location (potentially explosive atmosphere), prevent sparks by proper
tool selection and avoiding other types of impact energy. Control Valve surface temperature is dependent upon
process operating conditions.

WARNING

Control valve surface temperature is dependent upon process operating conditions. Personal injury or property damage,
caused by fire or explosion, can result if the valve body surface temperature exceeds the acceptable temperature for the
hazardous area classification. To avoid an increase of instrumentation and/or accessory surface temperature due to process
operating conditions, ensure adequate ventilation, shielding, or insulation of control valve components installed in a
potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere.

Parts Ordering

Whenever ordering parts for older products, always specify the serial number of the product and provide all other
pertinent information that you can, such as product size, part material, age of the product, and general service
conditions. If you have modified the product since it was originally purchased, include that information with your
request.

WARNING

Use only genuine Fisher replacement parts. Components that are not supplied by Emerson Automation Solutions should
not, under any circumstances, be used in any Fisher product. Use of components not supplied by Emerson Automation
Solutions may void your warranty, might adversely affect the performance of the product and could result in personal
injury and property damage.

Installation

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before mounting
the product:

D Do not install any system component where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or the limits

on the appropriate nameplates. Use pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes
and good engineering practices.

D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.

D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.

D 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.

D 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.

D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not

applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.

D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D The valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the

pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.

D The instrument is capable of supplying full supply pressure to connected equipment. To avoid personal injury and

equipment damage, caused by sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts, make sure the supply pressure
never exceeds the maximum safe working pressure of any connected equipment.

D Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument air supply is not

clean, dry and oil‐free, or noncorrosive gas. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger
than 40 microns will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson Automation Solutions field office and Industry
Instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of
air filtration or filter maintenance.

D For corrosive media, make sure the tubing and instrument components that contact the corrosive media are of suitable

corrosiion-resistant material. The use of unsuitable materials might result in personal injury or property damage due to
the uncontrolled release of the corrosive media.

D If natural gas or other flammable or hazardous gas is to be used as the supply pressure medium and preventive

measures are not taken, personal injury and property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas or
from contact with hazardous gas. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to: Remote venting of the unit,
re‐evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources.

D To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of process pressure, use a high‐pressure

regulator system when operating the controller or transmitter from a high‐pressure source.

The instrument or instrument/actuator assembly does not form a gas‐tight seal, and when the assembly is in an
enclosed area, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used. Vent line piping
should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few
bends to reduce case pressure buildup. However, a remote vent pipe alone cannot be relied upon to remove all
hazardous gas, and leaks may still occur.

D Personal injury or property damage can result from the discharge of static electricity when flammable or hazardous

gases are present. Connect a 14 AWG (2.08 mm
flammable or hazardous gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding
requirements.

D Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if electrical connections are attempted in an

area that contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area
classification and atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of covers before proceeding.

D For instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury

or property damage due to sudden release of pressure, contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be caused by
puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not be readily
apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor or removing the
displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

D Personal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion from the leakage of flammable or hazardous gas, can

result if a suitable conduit seal is not installed. For explosion‐proof applications, install the seal no more than 457 mm
(18 inches) from the instrument when required by the nameplate. For ATEX applications use the proper cable gland
certified to the required category. Equipment must be installed per local and national electric codes.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING in the Maintenance section.

Instruction Manual

D102794X012

Special Instructions for Safe Use and Installations in Hazardous Locations

Instruments Mounted on Tank or Cage

WARNING

For instruments mounted on a tank or displacer cage, release trapped pressure from the tank and lower the liquid level to a
point below the connection. This precaution is necessary to avoid personal injury from contact with the process fluid.

Instruments With a Hollow Displacer or Float

WARNING

For instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury
and property might result from sudden release of this pressure or fluid. Contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can
be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not
be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. A displacer that has been penetrated by
process pressure or fluid might contain:

D pressure as a result of being in a pressurized vessel

D liquid that becomes pressurized due to a change in temperature

D liquid that is flammable, hazardous or corrosive.

Handle the displacer with care. Consider the characteristics of the specific process liquid in use. Before removing the
displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

Note

475 Field Communicator menu
sequences used in this manual are for
instrument level HC, AD, PD, and ODV,
firmware 7 and above. Refer to the AC
menu tree at the beginning of this
manual for AC menu sequences.

These menu sequences are also
applicable to the 375 Field
Communicator.

Description

DVC6000 digital valve controllers (figures 1-1 and 1-2)
are communicating, microprocessor-based
current-to-pneumatic instruments. In addition to the
normal function of converting an input current signal to
a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6000 digital
valve controller, using the HART communications
protocol, gives easy access to information critical to
process operation. You can gain information from the
principal component of the process, the control valve
itself, using the Field Communicator at the valve, or at
a field junction box, or by using a personal computer
or operator’s console within the control room.

Using a personal computer and ValveLink software or
AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, or a Field
Communicator, you can perform several operations

WARNING

Refer to table 1-2 for specifications.
Incorrect configuration of a
positioning instrument could result in
the malfunction of the product,
property damage or personal injury.

Specifications for DVC6000 digital valve controllers
are shown in table 1-2. Specifications for the Field
Communicator can be found in the product manual for
the Field Communicator.

Vibration Testing Method

Tested per ANSI/ISA-S75.13.01 Section 5.3.5. A
resonant frequency search is performed on all three
axes. The instrument is subjected to the ISA

1

specified 1/2 hour endurance test at each major
resonance, plus an additional two million cycles.

Input Impedance

The input impedance of the DVC6000 active
electronic circuit is not purely resistive. For
comparison to resistive load specifications, an
equivalent impedance of 550 ohms may be used.
This value corresponds to 11V @ 20 mA.

Operating Ambient Temperature Limits

-40 to 85C (-40 to 185F) for most approved
valve-mounted instruments

-60 to 125C (-76 to 257F) for remote-mounted
feedback unit.

-52 to 85C (-62 to 185F) for valve-mounted
instruments utilizing the Extreme Temperature
option (fluorosilicone elastomers)

Humidity Limits

0 to 100% condensing relative humidity with
minimal zero or span shifts

Installation

Installation

The DVC6000 can be used with either air or natural
gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas as the
pneumatic supply medium, natural gas will be used in
the pneumatic output connections of the DVC6000 to
any connected equipment. In normal operation the unit
will vent the supply medium into the surrounding
atmosphere unless it is remotely vented. When using
natural gas as the supply medium, in a non-hazardous
location in a confined area, remote venting of the unit
is required. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury, property damage, and area re-classification. For
hazardous locations remote venting of the unit may be
required, depending upon the area classification, and
as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and
federal codes, rules and regulations. Failure to do so
when necessary could result in personal injury,
property damage, and area re-classification.

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,

gloves, and eyewear.

 Personal injury or property
damage may result from fire or
explosion if natural gas is used as the
supply medium and appropriate
preventive measures are not taken.
Preventive measures may include, but
are not limited to, one or more of the
following: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources. For information on
remote venting of this controller, refer
to page 2-22.

 If installing this into an existing
application, also refer to the
WARNING at the beginning of the
Maintenance section of this
instruction manual.

 Check with your process or
safety engineer for any additional
measures that must be taken to
protect against process media.

WARNING

To avoid static discharge from the
plastic cover when flammable gases
or dust are present, do not rub or
clean the cover with solvents. To do
so could result in a spark that may
cause the flammable gases or dust to
explode, resulting in personal injury
or property damage. Clean with a mild
detergent and water only.

WARNING

This unit vents the supply medium
into the surrounding atmosphere.
When installing this unit in a
non-hazardous (non-classified)
location in a confined area, with
natural gas as the supply medium,
you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property
damage from fire or explosion, and
area re-classification.

When installing this unit in a
hazardous (classified) location remote
venting of the unit may be required,
depending upon the area
classification, and as specified by the
requirements of local, regional, and
federal codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary
could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.

Vent line piping should comply with
local and regional codes and should
be as short as possible with adequate
inside diameter and few bends to
reduce case pressure buildup.

In addition to remote venting of the
unit, ensure that all caps and covers
are correctly installed. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.
