SVI FF Product Safety
The SVI FF digital valve positioner is intended for use with industrial compressed air or, natural
gas systems only.
Ensure that an adequate pressure relief provision is installed when the application of system
supply pressure could cause peripheral equipment to malfunction. Installation must be in accor
-
dance with local and national compressed air and instrumentation codes.
General installation, maintenance or replacement
Products must be installed in compliance with all local and national codes
and standards by qualified personnel using safe site work practices.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be used per safe site work
practices.
Ensure proper use of fall protection when working at heights, per safe site
work practices. Use appropriate safety equipment and practices to prevent
the dropping of tools or equipment during installation.
Under normal operation, compressed supply gas is vented from the SVI FF to
the surrounding area, and may require additional precautions or specialized
installations.
Intrinsically Safe Installation
Products certified as explosion proof or flame proof equipment or for use in intrinsically safe installations MUST BE:
Installed, put into service, used and maintained in compliance with national
and local regulations and in accordance with the recommendations
contained in the relevant standards concerning potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Used only in situations that comply with the certification conditions shown
in this document and after verification of their compatibility with the zone of
intended use and the permitted maximum ambient temperature.
Installed, put into service and maintained by qualified and competent
professionals who have undergone suitable training for instrumentation
used in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Installations using natural gas are Zone 0 or Div 1
installations.

Pushbuttons and Local Display
Pushbuttons
The local pushbuttons are located behind a hinged cover, directly below the display window. To
open the cover loosen the screw and swing the cover down. Always re-fasten the cover after use
to protect the pushbuttons from environmental contamination.
The three pushbuttons perform the following functions:
Left Button - Marked with *, permits you to select or accept the value or
parameter option currently displayed.
Middle Button - Marked –, permits you to move back through the menu
structure to the previous item in the menu or decrement the value currently
shown in the digital display. When used to decrease a displayed value,
holding the button down causes the value to decrease at a faster rate.
Right Button - Marked +, permits you to move forward through the menu
structure to the next item in the menu, or to increment the value currently
shown in the digital display. When used to increase a displayed value,
holding this button down causes the value to increase at a faster rate.
CAUTION The display is limited to values between 0 and 100. Therefore, the
display may show a value for the actual setpoint that is not valid if
the setpoint is above 100 or below 0.
NOTE When an exclamation point (!) appears in the SVI FF display
window, it indicates that there is instrument status available.
