1 General Information

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 unpa-

cking, 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, and temperature). For this reason, they

should not be used in other applications without ﬁrst contacting the manufacturer. The product Installation, Operation,

and Maintenance Instructions provides important additional safety information.

1.2 Applicability

The following instructions are applicable to the maintenance and installation of Flowserve control valves with the StarPac

3 control system. These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of all possible product variations, nor can they pro-

vide information for every possible example of installation, operation or maintenance. This means that the instructions

normally include only the directions to be followed by qualiﬁed personal using the product for its 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. All Flowserve User Instruction Manuals are available at www.

ﬂowserve.com.

1.3 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 obvious, even to qualiﬁed

personnel. Compliance with other notes, which may not be particularly emphasized, with regard to transport,

assembly, operation and maintenance and with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the operating instruc-

tions, product documentation, or on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which can directly or

indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.

1.4 Personal Protective Equipment

Flowserve products are often used in problematic applications (e.g. under extremely high pressures with dangerous,

toxic or corrosive mediums). When performing service, an inspection or repair operation always ensure that the valve

and actuator are depressurized and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful substances. In such cases,

pay particular attention to personal protection (e.g. protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

1.5 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 authorized by

those responsible for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary work and who can recognize and avoid possible

dangers.

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 long periods of time check them for corrosion or deterioration before putting them into use. See pages

46-54 for parts listings and numbers

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 those outlined in these Installation,

Operation, and Maintenance Instructions could drastically affect performance, be hazardous to personnel and equip-

ment, and may void existing warranties. Between the actuator and the valve there are moving parts. To avoid injury,

Flowserve provides pinch-point-protection 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 recognized 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 that 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 are well protected from corrosion.

Nevertheless, Flowserve products must be stored adequately in a clean, dry environment. Heating is not required. Con-

trol valve packages must be stored on suitable skids, not directly on the ﬂoor. Plastic caps are ﬁtted to protect the ﬂange

faces and prevent the ingress of foreign materials. These caps should not be removed until the valve is actually mounted

into the system.

Long Term Storage of StarPac 3 Positioner in Humid Locations

The StarPac 3 positioners are designed to operate in humid environments when connected to a proper instrument air

supply. There are some occasions when valves and positioners are stored at job sites or installed and commissioned

and then left without instrument air for months. To make startup easier for units that are left without instrument air and

insure that the positioners will be ready to operate, it is recommended that the vent assembly of the positioner be sealed

preferably with a desiccant pouch sealed with the vent assembly.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

The vent assembly is located in the upper left side of the positioner. The gaps around the assembly as noted by the

arrows should be sealed for long storage.

A small desiccant package as shown can be included under the sealing tape to insure proper protection.

Joints to be sealed

STOP!

All of the edges around the vent assembly should be sealed similar to picture below.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

Desiccant packet

The sealing tape and desiccant should be removed when instrument air is permanently applied to the positioner

2 Unpacking

1. While unpacking the StarPac 3 Intelligent Control System, check the packing list against the materials recei-

ved. Lists describing the system and accessories are included in each shipping container.

2. When lifting the control system from the shipping container, use straps through the yoke legs, or the lifting

lugs attached to the yoke bolting. Take care to position lifting straps to avoid damage to the tubing and moun-

ted accessories.

WARNING: When lifting a control system, be aware that the center of gravity may be above the lifting point.

Therefore, support must be given to prevent the valve from rotating. Failure to do so can cause serious injury to

personnel and damage to the valve and nearby equipment.

3. Contact your shipper immediately if there is shipping damage.

4. Should any problems arise, call your Flowserve representative.

3 Installation

DANGER: Before installation check the order number, serial number, and/or the tag number to ensure that the

Removable sealing tape

valve and actuator being installed are correct for the intended application.

CAUTION: Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or cold services. Do not insulate the StarPac 3

electronics housing or remote-mounted pressure or temperature sensors; otherwise excessive heat may build up

and affect operation.

CAUTION: If the StarPac 3 is being installed in an insulated process line, do not place more than four inches of

insulation around the pressure or temperature sensors.

CAUTION: On valves equipped with air ﬁlters, the air ﬁlter must point down to perform properly.

NOTE: In some rare cases, the air supply must be limited to less than 150 psi (10.3 bar). This is indicated on a

sticker found near the upper air port on the actuator cylinder. An air regulator should be installed to ensure the

supply pressure does not exceed the line pressure indicated on the sticker.

1. Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the valve is not ﬁtted under tension.

2. Fire protection must be provided by the user.

3. Before installing the valve, clean the line of dirt, welding chips, scale and other foreign material.

4. Whenever possible, the valve should be installed in an upright position. Vertical installation permits easier

valve maintenance.

5. Be sure to provide proper overhead clearance for the actuator to allow for disassembly of the plug from the

valve body. Refer to the appropriate actuator User Instructions for proper clearances. Actuator User Instructions

are available at www.ﬂowserve.com.

6. Double-check ﬂow direction to be sure the valve is installed correctly. Flow direction is indicated by the arrow

attached to the body.

7. If welding the valve into the line, use extreme care to avoid excess heat build up in the valve.

8. Connect the air supply and instrument signal lines.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

4 Quick-check

Prior to start-up, check the control valve by following these steps:

1. Stroke the valve and observe the plug position indicator on the stem clamp compared to the stroke indicator

plate. The plug should change position in a smooth, linear fashion.

NOTE: Due to excessive friction, graphite packing can cause the plug stem to move in a jerky fashion.

2. Check for full stroke by making appropriate instrument signal changes.

3. Check all air connections for leaks.

4. Check packing box bolting for the correct adjustment. Refer to the packing installation manual for speciﬁc

details on maintaining the style of packing supplied.

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten packing. This can cause excessive packing wear and high stem friction that may

impede plug movement.

5. Make sure the valve fails in the correct direction in case of air failure. This is done by turning off the air supply

and observing the failure direction.

6. After a temperature excursion has occurred, bonnet ﬂange bolting should be re-torqued to ensure bonnet

seals do not leak.

5 Valve Maintenance

At least once every six months, check for proper operation by following the preventative maintenance steps outlined

below. These steps can be performed while the valve is in-line and, in some cases, without interrupting service. If an

internal problem is suspected, refer to the Valve Disassembly and Inspection in the Installation, Operation and Mainte-

nance (IOM) instructions of the valve that the StarPac 3 system is mounted to.

ﬂowserve.com

STOP!

1. Look for signs of gasket leakage through the end ﬂanges and bonnet. Re-torque ﬂange and bonnet bolting (if

required).

2. Examine the valve for damage caused by corrosive fumes or process drippings.

3. Clean valve and repaint areas of severe oxidation.

4. Check packing box bolting for proper tightness. Refer to the Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM)

instructions for the valve for speciﬁc details on maintaining the style of packing supplied.

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten packing. This can cause excessive packing wear and high stem friction that may

impede stem movement.

5. If possible, stroke the valve and check for smooth, full-stroke operation. Unsteady stem movement could

indicate an internal valve problem.

NOTE: Due to excessive friction, graphite packing can cause the plug stem to move in a jerky fashion.

WARNING: Keep hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts when operating the valve. Failure to do so

can cause serious injury.

6. Make sure positioner linkage and stem clamp are securely fastened. If the stem clamp is loose, check plug

thread engagement (refer to the “Reassembly and Installation” section for the correct procedure on aligning the

plug with the seat). Tighten stem clamp nut.

7. Ensure all accessories, bolting and brackets are securely fastened.

8. If possible, remove air supply and observe actuator for correct fail-safe action.

9. Check rubber actuator bellows for splits, cuts or wear.

10. Spray a soap solution around the actuator cylinder retaining ring and actuator stem guide to check for air leaks

through the O-rings.

11. Clean any dirt and other foreign material from the plug stem.

12. If an air ﬁlter is supplied, check and replace cartridge if necessary.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

6 Valve Disassembly and Inspection

The StarPac 3 Control Intelligent Control System can be mounted to a variety of different control valves. To disassemble

and inspect the control valve that the StarPac 3 is mounted to, refer to the Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM)

instructions for that particular valve (i.e. Mark One, Mark 100, ShearStream or MaxFlo 3). Refer to section 14 of this

manual for instructions on how to remove the pressure sensor cables and thermocouple prior to valve disassembly.

7 StarPac 3 Operation

7.1 Overview

The StarPac 3 is double-acting, capable of supplying air to either side of the actuator piston while exhausting

the other side to the atmosphere. Also, the positioner can be mounted on either Flowserve Valtek linear or rotary

actuators without modiﬁcation to the actuator.

Since the positioner is insensitive to supply pressure changes and can handle supply pressures from 30 to 150

psig, a supply regulator is usually not required; however, an air ﬁlter is required due to the close tolerances of the

spool assembly.

7.2 Speciﬁcations

Table I: Flow Accuracy

The accuracy of the standard StarPac 3 model is +/- 2 percent of full scale ﬂow over the turndown of the control valve,

normally 30:1 for a globe valve. This can be improved by using characterized trim or reducing the turndown of the

high accuracy range.

7.3 Positioner Operation

Figure 1: StarPac 3 Positioner Schematic (air-to-open conﬁguration)

The StarPac 3 Positioner is an electric feedback instrument. Figure 1 shows a StarPac 3 installed on a double-acting

actuator for air-to-open action. Positioning is based on a balance of two signals: one proportional to the modulator input

signal and the other proportional to the stem position.

The supply pressure for the positioner modulator is tapped off the main supply and is ﬁltered as it passes through a ﬁeld-

replaceable, coalescing ﬁlter element in the module. Next it passes through an internal pressure regulator that regulates

it to approximately 21.5 psig. The air then goes through an oriﬁce that restricts the ﬂow and air consumption (refer to

Figure 1).

The air is further controlled to 6-12 psig using a spring-diaphragm ﬂapper that is attracted by an electromagnet to a noz-

zle. A temperature compensated Hall Effect sensor mounted on a circuit board senses the spool valve position. The Hall

Effect sensor and circuitry create a feedback loop, which determines how much current to send to the electromagnet for

a desired spool valve position. The electromagnet in the feedback loop varies the nozzle-ﬂapper spacing, which regulates

the output pressure to 6-12 psig proportional to the command input signal.

When these opposing signals are equal, the system will be in equilibrium and the stem will be in the position called for

by the command signal. If these opposing signals are not equal, the spool valve will move up (or down) and, by means

of the modulator, will change the output pressures and ﬂow rate. This will cause the piston to move until the signal of the

feedback sensor equalizes with the command signal.

The detailed sequence of positioner operations are as follows: An increase in the command signal forces the modulator

signal capsule and spool valve upward. This motion of the modulator also pushes the pilot valve spool upward from its

equilibrium position. This opens the pilot valve ports, supplying air to port one and exhausting air from port two. This

causes the actuator piston to move upward.

This upward motion of the piston is transmitted back to the positioner through the feedback linkage and position feed-

back potentiometer signal changing proportionally to the valve position. The piston continues to stroke upward until the

signal of the feedback sensor increases sufﬁciently to counter the signal being sent to the modulator. At this point, the

spool is at its equilibrium position as the pressures in the cylinder stabilize and the air ﬂow to the actuator decreases.

After the piston has reached the required position, the feedback signal will equal the spool position generated in the mo-

dulator capsule. The computer will then make small null adjustments to ﬁne-tune the desired position and compensate

for changes in dynamic loading.

A decrease in the command signal reverses the described actions causing a proportional downward movement of the

actuator piston and stem.

8 Mounting and Installation

8.1 Mounting to Flowserve Valtek Linear Mark One Valves

Figure 2: Linear Mark One Control Valve Mounting (Sensor Mounting not shown)

To mount the StarPac 3 positioner to a Flowserve Valtek linear Mark One valve, refer to Figure 2 and proceed as out-

lined below. The following tools are required:

• 9/16” open-end wrench (or 1/2” for spud sizes 2.88 and smaller)

• 7/16” box wrench

• 3/8” open-end wrench

1. Remove washer and nut from follower pin assembly. Insert pin into the appropriate hole in follower arm,

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

based on stroke length. The stroke lengths are stamped next to their corresponding holes in the follower

arms. Make sure the unthreaded end of the pin is on the stamped side of the arm. Re-install lock washer and

tighten nut to complete follower arm assembly.

2. Slide double-D slot in the follower arm assembly over the ﬂats on the position feedback shaft in the back of

the positioner. Make sure the arm is pointing toward the customer interface side of the positioner. Slide lock

washer over the threads on the shaft and tighten down the nut.

3. Line up the mounting bracket with the mounting holes on the actuator yoke. Bolt the mounting bracket on to

actuator yoke.

4. Align the three outer mounting holes on the positioner with the three positioner mounting holes on the bra-

cket. Fasten with 1/4-20 x1/2” bolts.

5. Position the take-off arm mounting slot against the stem clamp mounting pad. Apply Loctite 222 to the take-

off arm bolting and in and insert through washers into the stem clamp. Leave bolts loose.

6. Slide the appropriate pin slot of the take-off arm, based on stroke length, over the follower arm pin. The

appropriate stroke lengths are stamped by each pin slot.

7. Center the take-off arm on the rolling sleeve of the follower pin.

8. Align the take-off arm with the top plane of the stem clamp and tighten bolting. Torque to 120 in-lb.

NOTE: If mounted properly, the follower arm should be horizontal when the valve is at 50% stroke and should

move approximately ±30° from horizontal over the full stroke of the valve. If mounted incorrectly, a stroke ca-

libration error will occur. Reposition the feedback linkage or rotate the position sensor to correct the error.

8.2 Mounting to Standard Flowserve Valtek Rotary Valves

The standard rotary mounting applies to Flowserve Valtek valve/actuator assemblies that do not have mounted volume

tanks or handwheels. The standard mounting uses a linkage directly coupled to the valve shaft. This linkage has been

designed to allow for minimal misalignment between the positioner and the actuator. The tools required for the following

procedure are:

• 5/32” Allen wrench

• 1/2” open-end wrench

• 3/8” socket with extension

• 3/16” nutdriver

mately 15 degrees.

9. Hold the take-off arm in place; tighten the take-off arm screw.

NOTE: The take-off arm should be snug enough to hold the follower arm in place

but allow movement when pushed.

10. Connect regulated air supply to appropriate port in manifold.

11. Remove main cover and perform a stroke calibration using the key pad (refer to the StarPac 3 User Interface

Manual. Make sure the StarPac 3 has been conﬁgured with the proper air action.

12. If the calibration was successful, continue with step 9. If the calibration failed, the A/D feedback values were

exceeded and the arm must be adjusted away from the positioners limits. Return to step 2 and rotate the arm

back approximately 10 degrees.

NOTE: Remember to remove the air supply before re-adjusting take-off arm.

13. Tighten the nut on the take-off arm. The socket head screw of the take-off arm must be tight, about 40 in-

lb.

NOTE: If the take-off arm slips, the positioner must be recalibrated.

WARNING: Failure to follow the procedure will result in positioner and/or linkage damage. Check air-action and

stroke carefully before lockdown of take-off arm to splined lever adapter.

The optional rotary mounting applies to Flowserve Valtek valve/actuator assemblies that are equipped with moun-

ted volume tanks or handwheels. The optional mounting uses a four-bar linkage coupled to the valve shaft. The follow tools are required:

• 3/8” open-end wrench

• 1/2” open-end wrench

1. Using a 1/2” open-end wrench and two 5/16-18 x 1/2” bolts, attach bracket to actuator transfer case pads.

Leave bracket loose to allow for adjustment.

2. Using four 5/16”-18 x 5/8” bolts and a 1/2” open-end wrench, fasten positioner to universal bracket, using the

four-hole pattern that locates the positioner the farthest from the valve. Rotate positioner 90 degrees from normal so gauges are facing upward.

3. Attach follower arm to positioner feedback shaft, using the star washer and 10-32 nut.

4. Attach tripper and tripper clamp to valve shaft using two 1/4-20 bolts and two 1/4-20 locknuts. Leave tripper

loose on shaft until ﬁnal adjustment.

5. Thread ball joint linkage end to tripper and tighten (thread locking compound such as Loctite is recommended

to prevent back threading). Adjust the length of tie rod so follower arm and tripper rotate parallel to each other (the rod must be cut to the desired length). Connect the other ball joint end to follower arm using a star washer and 10-32 nut.

6. Tighten bracket and tripper bolting.

7. Check for proper operation, not direction of rotation.

WARNING: If rotating in wrong direction, serious damage will occur to the positioner and/ or linkage. Check

air action and stroke direction carefully before initiating operation.

8.4 Tubing Positioner to Actuator

The StarPac 3 positioner is insensitive to supply pressure changes and can handle supply pressures from 30 to 150 psig. A supply regulator is recommended if the customer will be using the diagnostic features of the StarPac 3 but is not required. 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 rating ( not to be confused with operating range). An air ﬁlter is highly recommended for all applications where dirty air is a possibility.

NOTE: The air supply must conform to ISA Standard ISA 7.0.01 (a dew point at least 18°F below ambient

temperature, particle size below ﬁve microns – one

micron recommended – and oil content not to exceed one part per million).

Air-to-open and air-to-close are determined by the actuator tubing, not the software. When air action selection is made during conﬁguration, that selection tells the control which way the actuator has been tubed. The top output is labeled Output 1. Output 1 should be tubed to the side of the actuator that must receive air to begin the correct action on increasing signal. Verify that tubing is correct prior to a stroke calibration. Proper tubing orientation is critical for the positioner to function correctly and have the proper failure mode. Refer to Figure 1 and follow the instructions:

STOP!

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

1. Linear Double-acting Actuators

For a linear air-to open actuator, the Output 1 port of the positioner manifold is tubed to the bottom side of

the actuator. The Output 2 port of the positioner manifold is tubed to the top side of the actuator. For a linear air-to-close actuator the above conﬁguration is reversed.

2. Rotary Double-acting Actuators

For a rotary actuator, the output 1 port of the positioner manifold is tubed to the bottom side of the actuator.

The Output 2 port of the positioner manifold is tubed to the top side of the actuator. This tubing convention is followed regardless of air action. On rotary actuators, the transfer case orientation determines the air action.

3. Single-acting Actuators

For single-acting actuators, the Output 1 port is always tubed to the pneumatic side of the actuator regardless

of air action. The Output 2 port must be plugged.

9 Wiring and Grounding Guidelines

WARNING: This product has electrical conduit connections in either thread sizes 1/2” NPT or M20 which

appear identical but are not interchangeable. Housings with M20 threads are stamped with the letters M20

above the conduit opening. Forcing dissimilar threads together will damage equipment, cause personal injury

and void hazardous location certiﬁcations. Conduit ﬁttings must match equipment housing threads before

installation. If threads do not match, obtain suitable adapters or contact a Flowserve representative. In all

cases always use suitable rated cable glands. Unused openings shall be installed with suitably rated close-out

plugs.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

9.1 Shielding Versus Grounding

All signals to the StarPac 3 unit should be in shielded cables. Shields must be tied to a ground at only one end of the

cable to provide a place for environmental electrical noise to be removed from the cable. A ground wire (unlike a shield)

is attached at both ends to provide a continuous path for electrical conductivity.

9.2 Grounding Screw

The green grounding screw, located by the customer interface terminal block 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 connecting to the unit should be earth grounded at both ends of its run.

WARNING: The green grounding screw must not be used to terminate signal shield wires.

9.3 24 VDC Power

The 24 VDC connection points will work best with shielded twisted pair wire with the shield wire connected only at the

source. The input power is isolated within the unit and may be referenced to whatever level is necessary.

WARNING: The 24 VDC power supply should not be connected to earth ground.

9.4 RS-485 Communications

RS-485 wiring requires the use of a shielded twisted pair cable, which is grounded only at the source and not in the

unit. (For maximum performance, wire should have a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms.) The RS-485 input is fully

isolated, using opto-isolators.

The RS-485 allows only a 7 to 12 V common mode voltage differential between stations. RS-232 to RS-485 converters

are not a grounded connection. PC‘s with internal RS-485 cards, on the other hand, are often grounded. If another

ground communication device is on the network, a fault condition will almost certainly exist due to transient and steady

state differences in ground potential.

9.5 4-20 mA Command Input, Auxiliary Input and Feedback Output

These signals are isolated but shielded twisted pair wire should be used to reduce crosstalk from other signals. The

shield should be connected only at the source.

9.6 Discrete Inputs and Outputs

These signals are isolated, but because they are frequently used to switch high voltage (120 VAC), they should be run in

separate shielded wire paths away from the other StarPac 3 signals.

9.7 RS-232 to RS-485 Converter Connection

When connecting a StarPac 3 unit to a communication device, no shield or ground connections exist. Hence, the 24 VDC

power and RS-485 communication shield drain wires must be connected to a convenient ground near the converter.

10 Wiring the StarPac 3 System

10.1 General

All electrical connections must be done according to local and industry electrical codes. Flowserve recommends a

shielded cable be used for the RS-485 command signal wire (e.g., Belden 9841 or equivalent).

When connecting multiple StarPac 3 units, a parallel daisy-chain wiring pattern is used. Connect unit‘s branch lines

to main line, keeping branch lines as short as possible. The total length of wiring should not exceed 4,000 feet (1,200

meters) without use of repeaters.

Avoid devices producing electrical ‘noise’ while installing the cable.

CAUTION: The following procedure should be performed on the bench or with the unit isolated so that unex-

pected valve stroking will not adversely affect the process.

WARNING: The following procedures may cause the valve to stroke, causing pressures and temperatures to

vary from their norms. Notify appropriate personnel that the valve may stroke unexpectedly. It is recommended that the

system be isolated from the process, if installed in line.

WARNING: Cable entry temperature may exceed 700 C. Therefore, select appropriate rated cable.

10.2 Wiring Connections

o connect the wiring to the StarPac 3 unit, refer to Figures 6 and Table IX, and then proceed as follows.

1. Remove the customer interface cover.

WARNING: Do not remove the electronic housing covers in ﬂammable atmospheres; otherwise, possible

injury to personnel or equipment may occur.

2. Connect the required wires to the terminal interface block and computer as described in Figure 6 and Table IX.

(The system must have 24 VDC power for operation).

NOTE: The StarPac 3 unit remembers the operating mode setting (automatic or manual) from the last time

the unit had power. When power to the system is turned on again, the unit will resume operation in the previous mode. Normally the unit arrives from the factory set in the manual analog operating mode. This means a command signal will position the valve the same as a traditional control valve, providing a plug position proportional to the 4 - 20 mA signal.

3. To avoid upsetting the process because of improper operating mode selection:

Ensure that the system arrived from factory with the proper operating mode setting in the shop prior to in-

stallation by connecting air supply and command signal, then turning on the power and looking at the mode value on the local display, or;

Set the proper operating mode for the particular application in the shop prior to installation by selecting the

desired operating mode from the local interface or in the Tuning/Tune screen of the StarTalk XP Or StarTalk DTM software, or;

Ensure that the block valves in the process line around the unit are closed and the process is diverted around

the unit.

4. Turn on the 24 VDC power to the unit, and verify that it has been correctly wired by checking the following:

• 24 VDC power is at least 150 mA and between 18.0 and 36.0 VDC

• Polarity is correct

• Local display is on; if not, check the power supply

After the veriﬁcation is completed, replace the main and user interface covers on the housing.

10.3 Setting the Jumpers

The StarPac 3 system has several jumpers that are used to conﬁgure the analog and discrete I/O. The keypad must be

removed to view or change the jumper settings.

1. Contact Relay Setting On the lower right hand side of the electronic board assembly is a three position jumper labeled “JP4.” If the

jumper is set on the two pins furthest to the right the relay is conﬁgured to Normally-open operation. If set

on the two pins furthest to the left, the jumper conﬁgures the relay to Normally-closed operation. See Figure

Figure 7: Contact Relay Jumper Settings

JP4

Normally Open

Normally Closed

2. Discrete Input Range Selection

On the lower right hand side of the electronic board assembly is a six position jumper labeled “JP3.” There are 2 jumpers

that must be moved together to set the voltage input range. The jumpers are oriented vertically and with both jumpers

in the upper position the input is set to trigger on 120V AC or DC. With both jumpers in the lower position the input is

set to trigger on 24V AC or DC. See Figure 8.

3. Analog Input Power Selection

On the lower right hand side of the electronic board assembly are two, 8 position jumper arrays labeled “JP1” and “JP2.”

Each of the 4-20 mA analog inputs can be conﬁgured for either an external power supply such as exists in a DCS, or

powered internally so a transmitter or other 2 wire device can be directly connected to the terminals. JP1 conﬁgures

analog input 1 and JP2 conﬁgures analog input 2. The jumpers should be conﬁgured as shown for the desired operation.

11 RS-485 Communication Conﬁgurations

11.1 System Communication Default Conﬁguration

The StarPac 3 has two communication ports (Com A and Com B) that can be used for RS-485 communications. Refer

to Figure 6 and Table IX for wiring connection instructions.

StarPac 3 units are shipped from the factory ready for installation and operation. Rarely do the units need to be re-

conﬁgured prior to operation. Table X lists the factory default communication settings. If these settings are not correct

for the equipment being used, proceed to sections 11.2 to 11.5. The communication settings for each port will need to

be set on the StarPac 3 device through the keypad. Refer to the StarPac 3 User Interface Manual for instructions on how

to change the communication settings on the StarPac 3.

Table X: Factory Default Mode Settings

Description Setting

Address 1 Parity Odd Baud Rate 19,200 Modbus Communication Mode RTU RS-485 Termination Resistors Installed

11.2 Selecting Correct Address Setting

If the StarPac 3 unit is the only StarPac unit on the communication network, the default address (1) is ﬁne.

If multiple units will be operating on the same communication network, each unit must have a unique address. Before

changing the address, the StarTalk XP or StarTalk DTM software can be used to determine what devices are on the line.

(Remember to include devices that may be temporarily off line).

If the default address setting needs to be changed, use the ‘Comm Port’ option in the conﬁguration menu of the local

keypad interface to change the settings.

11.3 Selecting Correct Baud Rate Setting

StarPac 3 units support baud rates of 2400 up to 57,600 baud. However, the Starpac 3 system is shipped from the fac-

tory with COM A set to 19,200 baud and COM B set to 57,600 baud. If the default baud rate setting needs to be changed,

use the ‘Comm Port’ option in the conﬁguration menu of the local keypad interface to change the settings.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

11.4 Selecting Correct Modbus Transmission Mode

Two transmission modes exist in a Modbus system, ASCII and RTU (default). Use the ASCII mode when transmitting

information through a device that uses ASCII control codes; for example, a modem. When ASCII mode is used, Parity

must be set to None. Use the RTU mode when connecting directly to both devices; for example, an RS-485 interface card

wired directly to a StarPac 3 system.

If the default Modbus transmission mode setting needs to be changed, use the ‘Comm Port’ option in the conﬁguration

menu of the local keypad interface to change the settings.

11.5 Selecting Proper RS-485 Termination Resistor Setting

A termination resistor must be installed on the two most remote devices on the network, counting the host computer as

any other device.

(For example, a single 3 unit and the RS-485 driver in the host computer would each require the termination resistor

to be installed. If four units were on the network with a host computer, decide which of the two devices have the most

combined cable length between them. These two devices should have the termination resistors installed. The termi-

nation resistors should be disabled in the devices not considered to be the most remote using the instructions in the

next section. Using more than two termination resistors in a network can cause the RS-485 communications to operate

erratically or fail).

On the top electronic board there are two termination jumpers for the RS-485 communications to the right of the LCD

display. The jumper labeled JP1 enables the termination resistor for Com A and the jumper labeled JP2 enables the

termination resistor for Com B. To enable 120 ohms termination, insert both jumpers for A and B channels. To disable

termination, remove both jumpers from each channel.

11.6 Communication Port B

Com Port B can be set for the following three conﬁgurations;

• RS-485

• USB

• Infrared

1. When RS-485 is selected, the StarPac 3 device will need to be wired correctly. Refer to Figure 6 and Table IX

for wiring connection instructions. Follow the instructions as outlined in sections 11.2 to 11.5 to conﬁgure

Com Port B.

2. When a 2.0 mini-B USB cable is plugged into the StarPac 3 on the Customer Interface Board, Com Port B will

automatically be conﬁgured for communication through the USB cable. The baud rate will automatically be

set to 57600. When using StarTalk XP or StarTalk DTM, make sure the computer com port baud rate setting

is also set to 57600.

3. When Infrared is selected, the StarPac 3 will be able to receive communication through the glass on the main

cover. It is not necessary to remove the main cover. Communication will need to occur using a PDA with

special software. The software will contain a keypad simulator that will have the same functionality as the

local keypad.

14 System Maintenance

14.1 Overview

It is recommended that the StarPac 3 system calibration be checked every six months. If, after checking the unit, a

component is determined to be defective, the following section will help with the component replacement.

The following items may be needed to install, start up and calibrate the unit‘s electronics.

• Power supply: 24 VDC, 150 mA

• Digital volt meter with 4 - 20 mA range

• Air supply: 50 psig minimum, 80-100 psig preferred

• Gauges or the ability to accurately determine process pressures and valve air supply pressures

• 4 - 20 mA command source

• Thermocouple calibrator or simulator with 0 to 500° Celsius range (Preferably a K type thermocouple cali-

brator)

14.2 Mechanical Subsystem Maintenance

Refer to the appropriate Flowserve Installation, Operation & Maintenance (IOM) instructions for details on repair and

maintenance of the control valve actuator components. Please refer to the manufacturers’ manuals for maintenance

and operation instructions for non-pneumatic actuators, e.g., electric or electro-hydraulic actuators.

WARNING: The process line must be depressurized and drained of process ﬂuid and decontaminated prior to

working on internal valve components. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to personnel.

1. Depressurize the line, decontaminate the valve (if needed) and shut off the air supply to the valve positioner.

2. Disconnect the actuator air tubes from the unit.

3. Disconnect the two mounting bolts that attach the StarPac 3 system bracket.

4. Disconnect the follower arm from the unit base. This is done by removing the follower arm nut and washer

and pulling the arm off the shaft. Notice that the shaft is slightly spring loaded.

5. The actuator subassembly is now isolated and is removed by loosening the bonnet bolts and lifting the actu-

ator away from the body.

6. The tubing holds the StarPac 3 base in place, eliminating the need to disconnect wiring or air connections.

STOP!

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

7. Standard valve maintenance may now be done on the actuator or valve body components. Refer to the Flow-

serve IOM instructions for details on such things as trim or packing replacement. If you have to replace the

trim, use the same trim number and characteristic as the original trim so the ﬂow calculations are not affected.

If a trim size change is needed, contact your Flowserve representative to ﬁnd out about ﬂow characterization

options.

8. Reassemble the system by reversing the above steps. Be sure to follow the procedures outlined in the Flow-

serve Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM) instructions for valve reassembly. When reconnecting

the follower arm, make sure that the arm ﬁts correctly on the keyed shaft and has a positive spring action.

9. Turn on the air supply to the valve and check for leaks in the reattached actuator tubing lines.

10. Turn on power to the unit. Check the system calibration and perform a Valve Stroke Calibration to reset the

position feedback. Refer to the Calibration section of the StarPac 3 User Interface Manual.

14.3 Position Feedback System

The position feedback linkage of the StarPac 3 system is a critical part of the system. This linkage is also used in the

StarPac 3 to calculate the valve’s CV for a given stroke for ﬂow measurement. This linkage should be lubricated and

checked periodically for tight, smooth operation. The follower arm should operate smoothly with no binding and have

a positive spring loading on the arm. Inspect the follower arm pin for excess wear and replace if needed. The take-off

arm attached to the stem clamp must be ﬁrmly secured to the stem clamp and perpendicular to the actuator stem. If

this takeoff arm is canted or misaligned, problems may occur with positioner calibration and the position reading on

the unit may go out of range.

On rotary actuators, make sure the adjustment linkage locknut is tight and has no excessive play in the ball joints. The

rotary shaft clamp must be tight and should not freely rotate on the shaft.

14.4 Pressure Sensor Replacement

Standard StarPac 3 pressure sensors are typically installed directly into the control valve body. Before they can be

removed, the process line must be depressurized and drained of all ﬂuids and the valve decontaminated.

To replace a pressure sensor, refer to Figure 10 then proceed as follows.

WARNING: The process line must be depressurized and drained of process ﬂuid, and decontaminated prior to

working on internal valve components. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to personnel.

WARNING: If the pressure sensors are remote mounted, the sensor will be located in a sensor housing in the

tubing line and not in the sensor housing located on the valve body. This section of the tubing contains pro-

cess ﬂuid and must be drained and decontaminated before the sensor is removed. The procedure for sensor

removal and replacement will be similar to that outlined below.

(Refer to alternate sensor information when this type of sensor is included with system.)

1. Depressurize and decontaminate the line and valve. Loosen the tubing nuts on the conduit leading to the

pressure sensor, if applicable.

2. Loosen the sensor nut.

3. Gently pull the conduit and sensor nut approximately 1/2” to 3/4” from the sensor. Use needle nose pliers to

4. Unscrew the sensor from the sensor boss.

5. Remove the sensor O-ring or gasket and replace with a new one. Make sure

the environmental O-ring seal is in good condition and in place on the new

sensor.

6. Install the new sensor into the sensor port making sure the O-ring or gasket

remains properly in place while tightening the sensor. Tighten the sensor until

it seats metal-to-metal at the gasket section of the sensor port, ensuring the

proper compression of the process O-ring or gasket seal.

7. Plug the pressure sensor cable connector into the pressure sensor. Align the

red dots on the sensor and connector to reconnect the Lemo™ connector to

the pressure sensor. Fully seat the connector until the locking sleeve latches.

Replace the sensor nut and tighten.

8. Pressurize the valve body to make sure the sensors are properly seated before

attaching the sensor conduit and tightening.

9. Reattach the conduit lines and securely tighten the ﬁttings.

StarPac Intelligent Control System FCD VLENIM0066-05 04/14

14.5 Pressure Sensor Cable Replacement

It is not necessary to remove the pressure sensor prior to replacing the pressure sensor cable.

1. Loosen the tubing nuts on the conduit leading to the pressure sensor, if applicable.

2. Loosen the sensor nut.

3. Gently pull the conduit and sensor nut approximately 1/2” to 3/4” from the sensor. Use needle nose pliers to

release the locking sleeve of the Lemo™ connector by moving the collar away from the sensor and disconnect

the connector from the sensor. Swing the sensor conduit out of the way (refer to Figure 10).

4. Remove the main cover.

5. Remove the two keypad retaining screws. Carefully pull the keypad away from the main PCB board. Unplug

the keypad ribbon cable from the main PCB board and remove the keypad.

6. The pressure sensor cable has four wires that are terminated in a terminal strip found at the bottom of the

main PCB board assembly. Remove the four pressure sensor cable wires from the terminal connector.

Refer to ﬁgure 11 to make sure the correct sensor cable is being removed. Gently pull the cable out of the

housing.

NOTE: On certain applications, the cables may be potted inside the ﬁtting at the bottom of the positioner

housing. To remove the cable it will be necessary to cut the existing cable on both sides of the ﬁtting. The

ﬁtting will need to be removed from the housing and a new replacement ﬁtting will need to be installed. After

the new cable is installed it will be necessary to repot the cable inside the new ﬁtting.

15 Optional Vented Design

A standard StarPac 3 is vented directly to the atmosphere. When supply air is substituted with sweet natural gas, piping must be used to route the exhausted natural gas to a safe environment. This piping system may cause some positioner back pressure in the main chamber (from the modulator) and spool chamber (from the actuator). Back pressure limitations are described below.

Two chambers must be vented on the StarPac 3: the driver module and the spool valve chamber (Figures 22 and 23). The driver module vent is located on the driver module cover. Install a tube ﬁtting into the driver module cover (Figure

22). Connect the necessary tubing/piping to this ﬁtting to route the exhausted natural gas to a safe environment.

The maximum allowable back pressure from the collection device on the driver module vent is 2.0 psig (0.14 barg). Vent

ﬂow rate is 0.5 std ft3/min (1.4 std liter/min).

WARNING:

The back pressure in the driver module housing must never rise above 2.0 psig (0.14 barg).

The spool valve chamber (see Figure 23) must also be vented through the spool valve cover. Install a tube ﬁtting into

the spool valve cover (part no. 179477). Connect the necessary tubing/piping to this ﬁtting to route the exhausted na-

tural gas to a safe environment. The maximum allowable back pressure in the spool valve chamber is 8 psig (.55 barg).

Pressures greater than 8 psig will cause vented gas to leak past the spool cover O-ring to the atmosphere and will result

in overshoot of the positioner.

25 StarPac 3 Electronics Initialization Procedure

25.1 Interlock Feature

The StarPac 3 has an initialize interlock feature. Every time power is cycled the unit will not return to normal operation, but will be interlocked out in TEST mode until the unit is manually put back into operation. The non-volatile RAM is not cleared, or affected, by this operation. To put the valve back into operation, use the keypad or communitcations software to place the unit back in manual or auto mode.

25.2 Initialization or Zero Reset Procedure

This procedure is used in a situation when a communication issue exists or something similar, but it is desirable to retain critical calibration and conﬁguration settings.

An initialization can also be performed by holding down the ZERO (0) key while applying power to the StarPac 3. Table XXXI outlines the procedure required to perform the initialization and it contains a list of parameters that are affected by the initialization.

Table XXXI: Initialization Procedure

StarPac 3 Electronics Initialization Procedure

To re-initialize the electronics:

1. Turn OFF the 24V power.

2. Press and hold down the ZERO (0) key on the keypad while turning the 24V power ON

3. Release the key after the display has booted and is active (approx. 5 seconds) The following conditions are set upon re-initialization. Those items that have been previously conﬁgured by the user may need to be reconﬁgured when the unit is put back into operation:

Table XXXI Initialization Variables

• Watchdog timer is reset • Flow Totalizer Source = Liquid

• Mode source is set to Digital • Communications is set to 19200 baud, Odd parity, RTU mode

• Data Logger is disabled • 3.5 character delay time

• Test mode is set • Communication Port B is set to Infrared

• Process variable = Liquid Flow • Modbus address is set to 1

• Command source = Analog • Communication Ports A & B set to R/W

• Positioner Source = Normal • LCD Contrast = 117

• Actuator type = Linear • LCD Backlight = 60 seconds

• Analog Command = Normal • External Variables for ﬂow calculation disabled

• Positioner Characterization is disabled • LCD display status reset. Row 1 = Mode/ Status Row 2 = Scan

• Analog Feedback = Position • Travel accumulator reset to 0

• PID action = Normal • Cycle counter reset to 0

• Air Action = Air-To-Open • Step size in Position StepTest Changed to 0

• Flow Totalizer is reset • Autotune = Disabled

• Tune Switch Position = Position E • Stablewise = Disabled & Unlocked

• AGA 8 = Disabled • Stablewise Lock % = 1.0%

• Keypad Password = 1234 • Stablewise Unlock % = 2.0%

25.3 Thermocouple Reset Procedure

This procedure is used in a situation of a new valve in in use or a new thermocouple. This will reset the data related to the thermocouple. A calibration of the thermocouple and the process pressure sensors will be required after this process also. If the same pressure sensors are used then no calibration of the process pressure sensors is required.

StarPac 3 Electronics Termocouple Reset Procedure

To reset electronics thermocouple.

1. Turn OFF the 24V power

2. Press and hold down the SPACE ( ) key on the keypad while turning the 24V power ON.

3. Release the key after the display has booted and is active ( approximately .5 seconds).

Re-calibration of the termocouple may be required when the unit is put back in operation.

25.4 Factory or Full Reset Procedure:

This procedure is used when the unit is un-responsive to any input command or the display is all dark characters or all blank characters.

The StartPac 3 also has a factory reset. This will reset the StarPac 3 to the setting used for a new device from the factory. This reset will overwrite all settings to include NVRAM battery backed SRAM, all characterization data and all values included in the the initialization reset. To use the factor reset the StarPac 3 has a two (2) pin connector below the bottom right corner of the display on the top board. Install a jumper or short the two (2) pins and cycle the power of the device. The other method is to use the device menu and select Load Default. Either of these methods will reset the device to factor settings.

StarPac 3 Electronics Factory Reset Procedure

To re-initialize the electronics:

1. Turn OFF the 24V power.

2. Install a jumper or short the pins on connector JP3 and turn the 24 V power OFF and then back ON.

3. Remove the jumper after the display has booted and is active (approximately .5 seconds). This is a full rest. After this reset all calibra-

tions must be completed and the characterizations need to be re-loaded. An electronic .vct ﬁle should have been sent with the valve. Use

Startalk XP or the StarTalk DTM to load the .vct characterization ﬁle to the unit or re-load from the device menu backup.

It is recommended to save a backup of settings once the device is working correctly. If the device encounters a problem that locks up

Note:

the software a factory reset can be performed and the backup can be applied to the device. The unit can save a bacup ﬁle and the software sent with the unit can save a copy external to the device. This ﬁle will be a <ﬁlename>.vct. The ﬁle sent with the unit from the factor will not contain all of the customer speciﬁc characterizations and calibration data, therefore, Flowserve recommends saving a backup once the seup and commissioning of the unit is compl

ete.
