1.1 Using

The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as required on FLOWSERVE products. Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance. In most cases FLOWSERVE valves, actuators and accessories are designed for specific applications (e.g. with regard to medium, pressure, temperature). For this reason they should not be used in other applications without first contacting the manufacturer.

1.2 Terms concerning safety

The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight particular dangers and/ or to provide additional information on aspects that may not be readily apparent.

DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage will occur if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION: indicates that minor personal injury and/or property damage can occur if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical information, which may not be very obvious even to

qualified personnel.

Compliance with other, not particularly emphasised notes, with regard to trans- port, assembly, operation and maintenance and with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the operating instruction, product documentation or on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which in themselves might directly or indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.

1.3 Protective clothing

FLOWSERVE products are often used in problematic applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dangerous, toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular valves with bellows seals point to such applications. When performing service, inspection or repair operations always ensure, that the valve and actuator are depressurised and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful substances. In such cases pay particular attention to personal protection (protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).

1.4 Qualified personnel

Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their training, experience and instruction and their knowledge of relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention regulations and operating conditions, have been authorised by those responsible for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary work and who can recognise and avoid possible dangers.

1.5 Installation

DANGER: Before installation check the order-no, serial-no. and/ or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/actuator

is correct for the intended application. Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or cold services.

Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the valve is not fitted under tension. Fire protection must be provided by the user.

1.6 Spare parts

Use only FLOWSERVE original spare parts. FLOWSERVE cannot accept responsibility for any damages that occur from using spare parts or fastening materials from other manufactures. If FLOWSERVE products (especially sealing materials) have been on store for longer periods check these for corrosion or deterioration before using these products. Fire protection for FLOWSERVE products must be provided by the end user.

1.7 Service / repair

To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to. Modifying this product, substituting non-factory parts, or using maintenance procedures other than outlined in this instruction could drastically affect performance and be hazardous to personnel and equipment, and may void existing warranties. Between actuator and valve there are moving parts. To avoid injury FLOWSERVE provides pinch-pointprotection in the form of cover plates, especially where side-mounted positioners are fitted. If these plates are removed for inspection, service or repair special attention is required. After completing work the cover plates must be refitted.

Apart from the operating instructions and the obligatory accident prevention directives valid in the country of use, all recognised regulations for safety and good engineering practices must be followed.

WARNING:

Before products are returned to FLOWSERVE for repair or service FLOWSERVE must be provided with a certificate which confirms that the product has been decontaminated and is clean. FLOWSERVE will not accept deliveries if a certificate has not been provided (a form can be obtained from FLOWSERVE).

1.8 Storage

In most cases FLOWSERVE products are manufactured from stainless steel. Products not manufactured from stainless steel are provided with an epoxy resin coating. This means that FLOWSERVE products ar e well protected from corrosion. Nevertheless FLOWSERVE products must be stored adequately in a clean, dry environment. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the flange faces to prevent the ingress of fo- reign materials. If the positioner must be stored outdoors, it is important that all the cover screws are tightened and that all connections and ports are properly sea- led. Replace shipping plugs with proper plugs and do not leave ports open and facing upwards.

1.9 Valve and actuator variations

These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of all possible product variations, nor in particular can they prov- ide information for every possible example of installation, operation or maintenance. This means that the instructions normally include onl y the directions to be followed by qualified personal where the product is being used for is defined purpose. If there are any uncertainties in this respect particularly in the event of missing product-related information, clarification must be obtained via the appropriate FLOWSERVE sales office.

2. Unpacking

Each delivery includes a packing slip. When unpacking, check all delivered valves and accessories using this packing slip. Report transport damage to the carrier immediately. In case of discrepancies, contact your nearest FLOWSERVE location.

3. Certificates

APEX A9000 Overview

The Apex A9000 is a two-wire loop powered, 4-20 mA input digital valve positioner. The Apex A9000 positioner controls actuators with rotary mountings. The Apex A9000 is completely powered by the 4-20 mA input signal. The minimum input signal required to function is

3,6 mA. As an option the D20 can be equipped with HART protocol to allow bidirectional communication.

Since the positioner is insensitive to supply pressure changes and can handle supply pressures from 1,5 to 6 barg (22 to 105 psig), a supply regulator is usually not required; however, in applications where the supply pressure is higher than the maximum actuator pressure rating a supply regulator is required to lower the pressure to the actuator’s maximum ra- ting (not to be confused with operating range). A coalescing air filter is recommended for all applications due to the close tolerances in the positioner.

Apex A9000 positioner accessories: Optional analog feedback system as well as limit switch unit and a directly attachable double acting module.

NOTE: The air supply must conform to ISA 7.0.01 or IEC 770 (a dew point at least 10°C/18°F below ambient temperature, particle size below five microns – one micron recommended – and oil content not to exceed one part per million).

6. Principle of operation

The APEX A9000 positioner is a digital positioner with various options. The positioner consists of three main modules:

1. The microprocessor-based electronic control module includes direct local user interface switches

2. The piezo valve-based electro- pneumatic converter module

3. The infinite resolution valve position sensor.

The basic positioner operation is best understood by referring to figure 1. The complete control circuit is powered by the two-wire, 4-20 mA command signal. The analog 4-20 mA command is passed to the microprocessor, where it is compared to the measured valve stem position. The control algorithm in the processor performs control calculations an d produces an output command to the piezo valve, which drives the pneumatic amplifier. The position of the pilot valve in the pneumatic amplifier is measured and relayed to the inner loop control circuit. This two-stage control provides for more responsive and tighter control than is possible with a single stage control algorithm. The pneumatic amplifier controls the airflow to the actuator. The change of pressure and volume of the air in the actuator causes the valve to stroke. As the valve approaches the desired position, the difference between the commanded position and the measured position becomes smaller and the output to the piezo is decreased. This, in turn, causes the pilot valve to close and the resulting flow to decrease, which slows the actuator movement as it approaches, the new commanded position. When the valve actuator is at the desired position. the pneumatic amplifier output is held at zero, which holds the valve in a constant position.

7.3 Mounting

NOTE. If the positioner is installed in a hazardous environment, it must be of a type approved for this purpose.

The Apex A9000 positioner, all versions, has an ISO F05 footprint, A. The holes are used to attach the Apex A9000 to the mounting bracket B. Please contact Flowserve or your local distributor representative with actuator specifics for the proper mounting bracket and hardware.

It is important that the positioner’s spindle, that transfer the actuator movements, are correctly mounted. Any tension between these parts can cause incorrect operation and abnormal wear.

Assembly Example:

Rotary actuators Mounting the Apex A9000 positioner on a quarter-turn actuator (closed or open by spring)

The mounting of a pneumatic double-piston part-turn valve actuator (in accordance with VDI/VDE 3845) is described as an example by using the following equipment:

Quarter-turn valve actuator: Rack & pinion or scotch yoke, closed or open by spring.

Rotary actutaors VDI/VDE 3485 (Namur)

Air supply

1. The positioner passageways are equipped with filters, which remove me- dium and coarse size dirt from the pressurized air. If necessary, they are easily accessible for cleaning

2. Supply ai r should meet IEC 770 or ISA

7.0.01 requirements. A coalescing filter should be installed in front of the supply air connection (Figure 8). Now connect the air supply to the filter, which is connected to the Apex A9000 positioner.

3. With a maximum supply pressure of 6 bar (102 psi) a regulator is not required.

4. With an operating pressure of more than 6 bar (90 psi), a reducing regulator is required. The flow capacity of the regulator must be larger than the air consumption of the positioner (7 Nm3 /h @ 6 bar / 4,12 scfm

@ 90 psi).

5. Connect the outlet connector (Figure7) of the positioner with tubing, independent of the action (direct or reverse). On explosion proof housing air connections are marked S,C+ and C-, plug C- port with proper fitting.

9. Wirin g and grounding guidelines

Electrical connections: signal cable with cable passage (1/2” NPT, or

M20 x1,5) to terminals 2 x 2,5 mm.

Input signal: 4 – 20 mA NOTE: Observe the minimum requirements of voltage and

equivalent electrical load:

The performance is ensured only for a minimum input current of 3.6 mA Figure 8 Connections For wiring, the following notes should be observed:

NOTE: The input loop current signal to the Apex A9000 should be in to provide a place for environmental electrical noise to be removed from

the cable. In general, shield wire should be connected at the source. (Figure 8).

Connect the 4-20 mA current source to terminals +1 and -2, see connection table.

cable. Shields must be tied to a ground at only one end of the cable

9.1 Grounding screw

The grounding screw, located inside the positioner cover, should be used to provide the unit with an adequate and reliable earth ground reference. This ground should be tied to the same ground as the electrical conduit. Additionally, the electrical conduit should be earth grounded at both ends of its run. The grounded screw must not be used to terminate signal shield wires.

9.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

The Apex A9000 digital positioner has been designed to operate correctly in electromagnetic (EM) fields found in typical industrial environments. Care should be taken to prevent the positioner from being used in environments with excessively high EM field strengths (greater than 10 V/m). Portable EM devices such as hand-held two-way radios should not be used within 30 cm of the device. techniques of the control lines, and route control lines away from electro-magnetic sources that may cause unwanted noise.

An electromagnetic line filter can be used to further eliminate noise. In the event of a severe electrostatic discharge near the positioner, the device should be inspected to ensure

correct operability. It may be necessary to recalibrate the Apex A9000 positioner to restore operation. Ensure proper wiring and shielding

Figure 9. Compliance voltage

9.3 Compliance voltage

Output compliance voltage refers to the voltage limit the current source can provide. A current loop system consists of the current source, wiring resistance, barrier resistance (if present), and the Apex A9000 impedance.

The Apex A9000 requires that the current maximum loop current.

CAUTION: Never connect a voltage source directly across the positioner terminals. This could cause permanent circuit board damage.

In order to determine if the loop will sup- port the Apex A9000, perform the following calculation: Voltage = Compliance Voltage (@Current

To support the Apex A9000 the calculated voltage must be greater than 9.4 VDC for Apex A9000 HART and 8 VDC for non-HART.

If one of the gains is changed, the corresponding value in the other gain set is changed accordingly.

Spring adjust

The spring adjust function compensates the airflow linearly with the actuator C+ chamber volume (for a constant position

error), so that low volumes get less flow. This is needed for linear single-acting actuators, where a low C+ volume means

that the actuator spring is extended, its force is reduced, and less flow is needed for stable position change.

12. Limit switches & 4 - 20 mA transmitter (Optional)

Caution! The installation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas must comply with the procedures contained in the certificates of conformity. Country specific regulations may apply.

Electrical safety is determined only by the power supply device.

12.1 General

Apex A9000 can be equipped with optional plug in modules for limit switches and/or 4-20 mA feedback transmitter.

12.2 Model selection

See Apex A9000 model code

12.3 Priciple of operation

The stroke of the actuator/valve is picked up by the potentiometer inside the Apex A9000. Movement is transferred from actuator via lever or shaft coupling. Cams/vanes mounted on the positioner shaft actuate limit switches 1 and 2. The switching point can be adjusted on each cam/vane.

The position transmitter converts actual position into a 4-20mA output signal. This loop requires an external 12-25 VDC power supply.

12.4 Installation

Caution! Turn off power and air supply before starting the installation. Important!

For Apex A9000 installed in hazardous areas, maintenance and repair must only to be made by authorized and trained staff.

-Remove cover, indicator if present and inner plastic cover.

-Check that spacers are installed on the printed circuit board.

-Carefully install feedback board into its position on the pins.

-Secure it with two (2) screws.

12.5 Apex A9000 Calibration of 4-20 mA input signal and/or 4-20mA

feedback transmitter

• Press and hold button while switching on power to the Apex A9000, keep the button pressed for 6 sec. The eeprom will now be erased, and then all three LEDs are lighted. The LEDs will start to flash yellow-red. This starts FACTORY MODE!

To calibrate 4-20 mA input signal

• Apply 4.0 mA input signal and then push the button three (3) times until all LEDs are lighted. The LEDs will now start flash yellow-red again.

Apply 20.0 mA input signal and then push the button three (3) times until all LEDs are lighted.

To calibrate 4-20 mA transmitter output signal Note! If no transmitter board is installed the LEDs will start flash yellow-yellow and the unit is ready for continued

calibration. If there is a transmitter board installed the LEDs will start flash yellow-green. The feedback transmitter output signal on pin 9 and 10 will now follow the input signal instead of the position.

Apply 4.0 mA input signal. Measure the output sig- nal and adjust the input signal up/down until the output signal is

4.0 mA. Push the button three times until all LEDs are lighted. The unit will now start to flash yellow-green again.

13.3 APEX A9000 symptoms and solutions

14. Maintenance/service

When carrying out service, replacing a circuit board, etc., it may be necessary to remove and refit various parts of the positioner. This is described on the following pages.

Read the Safety Instructions on page 3 before starting work on the positioner. Cleanliness is essential when working with the positioner. Contamination in the

air ducts will infallible lead to operational disturbances. Do not disassemble the unit more than that described here.

Do not take the valve block apart because its function will be impaired. When working with the Apex A9000 positioner, the work place must be equipped with ESD protection before the work

is started.

Always turn off the air and electrical supplies before starting any work.

When upgrading electronically parts inside a ACCORD positioner approved for installation in Hazardous locations special procedures apply, permission from ACCORD/Flowserve is required prior to the start of work.

Please contact a Flowserve office for information regarding proper procedures.
