Pushbuttons and Local Display
This section covers the optional local interface consisting of the LCD
alphanumeric display and pushbuttons. Operation of the SVI II AP Digital Valve
Positioner as a local device is controlled through the optional device-mounted
pushbuttons and digital display, shown in Figure 7 on page 17. Using the display
you can read the input signal, valve position, and actuator pressure. The display
sequences from one variable to the next every 1.5 seconds.
Using the pushbuttons you can exit from operating mode at any time and step
through a menu structure to perform a wide range of manual operation,
calibration, configuration, and monitoring functions that are described later in this
section. ValVue is used to perform all diagnostics functions. The pushbuttons do
not support diagnostics functions.
The SVI II AP has two operational modes: Normal Operating Mode and Manual
Mode and two setup modes, Configuration and Calibration. The SVI II AP also
has two modes for handling of faults and power-up: Reset and Failsafe. When
commissioning or checking a control valve with SVI II AP fully installed the
following steps are recommended:
Change mode to Manual mode
Examine and adjust all CONFIGuration items
Enter Calibration mode
Run STOPS to automatically calibrate stroke
Run autoTUNE to set dynamic response
Examine the device STATUS
Introduce manual set point changes to verify dynamic performance
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.

Installation and Set Up
Mounting the SVI II AP
Mounting the SVI II AP
This guide provides installation instructions for mounting an SVI II AP on both
rotary and reciprocating actuated valves. The mounting process can be broken
down into the following:
Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
Install the magnetic assembly.
Assemble the SVI II AP on the mounting bracket.
NOTE The SVI II AP should be mounted with the conduit
connections down in order to facilitate drainage of
condensate from the conduit.
Necessary Precautions
To avoid injury or the process being affected when installing or replacing a
positioner on a control valve, ensure that:
If the valve is located in a hazardous area make sure the area has been
certified as safe or that all electrical power to the area has been
disconnected before removing any covers or disconnecting any leads.
Shut off air supply to the actuator and to any valve mounted equipment.
Ensure the valve is isolated from the process by either shutting off the
process or using bypass valves for isolation. Tag shutoff or bypass
valves to guard against a turn-on while work is in progress.
Bleed air from actuator and check that valve is in its unenergized
position.
It is now safe to disconnect and remove any valve mounted equipment that is
being replaced.
For the procedure to mount rotary and reciprocating valves, refer to the Mounting
Instructions contained in the valve’s Mounting Box kit.

Mounting the SVI II AP on Rotary Valves
This section describes the procedure for mounting the SVI II AP on rotary control
valves that have less than 60° rotation, such as a Camflex
*
or a Varimax*.
Figure 9 shows a side view of a Camflex actuator and the SVI II AP actuator
mounting brackets.
Figure 9 Camflex with Mounting Bracket (Side View)
Mounting the SVI II AP on a Rotary Actuator
Tools required:
3⁄16" Hex Key
5⁄32" Hex Key
3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm Hex Key
7⁄16" Wrench
To mount the SVI II AP:
1. Attach the SVI II AP rotary mounting bracket to the valve actuator using two
(2) 5⁄16 - 18 UNC flat-head cap screws. In the preferred mounting position, the
long end of the mounting bracket is on your left when facing the actuator, for
any position of the valve and actuator.
2. Bolt the extension shaft to the valve position take-off shaft using a 1⁄4 - 28
UNF socket flathead screw. Secure the machine screw holding the extension
shaft with a torque of 144 in-lbs (16.269 N-m).
3. On internal valve pressure the thrust shaft is pushed out to the mechanical
stops, usually a thrust bearing. On valves where the valve position take-off is
mounted directly on the end of the plug shaft, a Camflex for example, the shaft
must be bearing on its stop to properly set up the SVI II AP Controller. During
hydrostatic testing the shaft is thrust to its stop and a normally tightened
packing retains it in that position.
Page 23

Installation and Set Up
Mounting the SVI II AP on
4. On vacuum service, the valve shaft may be drawn into the body by the
vacuum acting on the shaft, but the magnetic coupling must be assembled
flush with the mounting bracket with the shaft pulled fully out to its thrust
bearing. Check that the endplay from the vacuum position to the fully
extended position is less than 0.06 in. (1.524 mm)
5. Slide the magnet holder into the extension shaft. The location of the magnets
is in the ring of the magnet holder. The magnetic axis is the imaginary line
through the center of both magnets.
6. Rotate the magnet holder so that the magnet axis is vertical when the valve is
in the closed position.
7. Align the end of the magnet holder flush with the end of the mounting bracket.
Secure the magnet holder with two M6 set screws.
8. Slide the V-Seal over the magnet holder.
9. Secure the SVI II AP onto the mounting bracket using four M6 x 20 mm socket
head cap screws.
10.Ensure no interference exists with the position sensor protrusion.
11. Ensure that the V-Seal makes contact with the skirt around the position sensor
protrusion on SVI II AP housing.

Dismantling the SVI II AP from Rotary Valves
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the instrument or ensure
that the device’s location conditions for potentially explosive atmosphere permit
the safe opening of the cover.
To remove the SVI II AP Controller from a rotary valve perform Steps 1 - 9 on
page 22 in reverse.
Mounting the SVI II AP on Reciprocating Valves
The process of mounting the SVI II AP on a reciprocating valve consists of
mounting the unit on the actuator that is attached to the valve. This section
describes the procedure for mounting the SVI II AP on Reciprocating Valves
(using Masoneilan’s 87⁄88 Multi-Spring actuators as an example).
Mounting the SVI II AP on a Reciprocating Actuator
Tools required:
7⁄16" Combination Wrench (2 required)
3⁄8" Combination Wrench
1⁄2" Combination Wrench
Phillips Head Screw Driver
5 mm Hex Key Wrench
1. Ensure that the lever is pinned to the magnet assembly and held securely by
an M5 flat head screw to ensure that the magnet axis is vertical when the lever
is in the valve closed position. Tighten the lever screw securely. Refer to
Figure 10.

ValVue SVI II AP Quick Start
2. Mount the SVI II AP reciprocating mounting bracket to the actuator using two
(2) 5⁄16 - 18 UNC cap screws.The mounting location of the bracket depends
on the size and stroke of the actuator. Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 4 on
page 28.
Figure 11 Reciprocating Valve Mounting Bracket
3. Select mounting hole A, B, C or D for the stroke of the valve. For example,
hole B is shown in Figure 13 on page 27 for a size 10 actuator with 1.0"
stroke. Unless otherwise specified, the SVI II AP mounting assumes that the
actuator is in the normal upright position. The mounting hole in the slotted
opening of the mounting bracket must be left when facing the actuator, with
the actuator in the upright position.
4. Move the valve to its closed position. For air to extend, this requires using air
pressure in the actuator to fully stroke the actuator. For air to retract, actuators
vent the actuator of air pressure.
5. Thread the take-off rod to the actuator stem connector. Refer to Figure 12 on
page 27. Ensure that the travel pointer located on the coupling is correctly
positioned.
6. Attach the right hand threaded rod end to the SVI II AP lever using a 1⁄4 - 20 x
1" cap screw and nut as shown. The lever hole position to be used depends
upon the specific valve stroke. Refer to Figure 13 on page 27 and the
Reciprocating Valve Linkage Selection, Table 4 on page 28.
7. Thread the right hand lock nut and turnbuckle onto the right hand rod end
approximately two turns. Turnbuckle length is a function of actuator size.
(Refer to Table 4 on page 28.)
8. Secure the magnet housing assembly, including the lever and right hand rod
end, to the bracket using four M5 X 10 mm flat head screws.
9. Attach the left hand threaded rod end to the take-off rod with 1⁄4 - 20 UNC nut
and thread the left hand lock nut onto the rod end.

10.Thread the turnbuckle onto the left hand threaded rod end (Figure 12).
11.Adjust the turnbuckle until the hole in the SVI II AP lever is aligned with the
indicating hole in the bracket. Tighten both turnbuckle lock nuts. Refer to
Figure 11.
12.For reciprocating valves the adjustable link turnbuckle must be parallel to the
valve stem. To ensure linearity in positioning, verify that the hole in the lever
aligns with the indicating hole in the bracket when the valve is in the closed
position. Check that the bracket is mounted using the proper holes. (Refer
Table 4 on page 28.)
13.Mount the SVI II AP to the bracket and secure with four M6 socket head cap
screws.

Installation and Set Up
Wiring the SVI II AP
Wiring the SVI II AP
In order for the SVI II AP to communicate the positioner data the SVI II AP must
be physically connected to a HART communication. The procedure below outlines
wiring the SVI II AP.
Comply with current national and local regulations for electrical
installation work.
Comply with national and local explosive atmosphere regulations.
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the instrument or
make sure that the local conditions for potentially explosive atmosphere
permit the safe opening of the cover.
Connecting to the Control Loop
The SVI II AP digital valve positioner MUST BE grounded according to local
regulations. It is important to maintain correct polarity at all times, otherwise the
positioner may not operate properly. Physically connect the SVI II AP to the HART
loop using a cable specified by the HART Communication Foundation. A shielded
cable is recommended.
To connect the Control Loop to the SVI II AP:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the control loop's
4 - 20mA output
2. Remove the threaded wiring covers on the positioner.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the SVI II AP. There are two threaded
openings on the positioner. Use the opening with the red plastic insert.
4. Maintain polarity + and - respectively.
Wiring Guidelines
This list contains eight guidelines for a successful implementation of DC current
signal, DC power, and HART communication to the SVI II AP:
1. Compliance voltage at the SVI II AP must be 9 V at the maximum current of 20
mA.
2. Signal to the SVI II AP must be a regulated current in the range 3.2 to 22 mA.
3. Controller output circuit must be unaffected by the HART tones which are in
the frequency range between 1200 and 2200 Hz.
4. Frequency range of the HART tones must have a circuit impedance of more
than 220 Ohms, typically 250 Ohms.
5. HART tones may be imposed by the positioner and a communication device
located anywhere on the signaling circuit.
6. Capacitance of the signaling circuit must not exceed 0.26 microfarads or 0.10
microfarads with high series resistance.
Page 42
42
GE Oil & Gas
ValVue SVI II AP Quick Start
7. Cabling must be shielded to prevent electrical noise that would interfere with
the HART tones, with the shield grounded.
8. Signal must be properly grounded in only one place.
NOTE For details and calculation methods for wiring resistance, and
capacitance and for calculation of cable characteristics, refer
to the HART FSK Physical Layer Specification.
SVI II AP Setups
Typical system setups are shown in Figure 23 on page 44, General Purpose and
Explosion Proof (EEx d) Installation Schematic and Figure 24 on page 44,
Intrinsically Safe Installation Schematic. The SVI II AP digital valve positioner can
be located in a general-purpose or hazardous area protected by Explosion Proof
(EEx d) methods. Wiring diagrams are generalized, actual wiring must adhere to
Electrical Installation section of manual and local electrical codes. The use of a
Handheld Communicator or a HART modem is not permitted in the Hazardous
Area protected by Explosion Proof (EEx d) methods. In Figure 24 on page 44 the
SVI II AP digital valve positioner is located in a hazardous area that is protected
by Intrinsically Safe wiring practices.
The SVI II AP requires an electrical input from a 4-20 mA current source. The SVI
II AP input signal can carry a HART communication protocol signal from ValVue
software and a HART modem, or from a HART Hand Held Communicator. Since
the process control system, the source of the input signal, is located in a nonhazardous location, setup requires an intrinsic safety barrier be placed between
the process control system and the SVI II AP. If the SVI II AP is located in a
hazardous area with Intrinsically Safe protection a barrier is not required for a
flameproof installation. Alternatively the system can be installed as Explosion
Proof ⁄ flameproof. SVI II AP can communicate with a remote PC running ValVue
software via a modem connected to the PC's serial or USB port. The PC, which is
not intrinsically safe, must be connected to the circuit on the safe area side of the
intrinsic safety barrier if the valve is located in a hazardous area.
The SVI II AP can be operated, calibrated, configured, and interrogated either by
using local pushbutton and display, or by using a PC running ValVue software,
HART Handheld Communicator, or any registered HART Host that supports DDs.
The HART Handheld Communicator is approved for Intrinsically Safe use in
accordance with FM and ATEX standards. Read and observe all handheld
labeling. The SVI II AP is polarity sensitive so the positive lead must be connected
to the positive (+) terminal and the negative lead to the negative (-) terminal.
Reversing the input will not cause damage but the unit will not function.

Installation and Set Up
Grounding Practices
Grounding Practices
To ensure proper grounding make sure that case, signal, and ground connections
are made in compliance with the plants normal grounding practices. Any point in
the loop can be referenced to ground, but there must never be more than one
ground point. Normally ground is connected at the controller or at the intrinsic
safety barrier.
The case grounding screws are located on the outside of the case at the lower
right of the display cover and inside the cover. The case is isolated from all
circuitry and can be grounded locally in accordance with applicable codes.
If noise or instability is present, set the positioner to MANUAL mode of operation
and manually position the valve over its entire range. If the valve is stable in
MANUAL mode then the problem can be noise in the control system. Recheck all
wiring connections and ground points.
Compliance Voltage in Single Drop Current Mode
The SVI II AP requires 9.0 V at 20 mA and 11.0 V at 4 mA. Typical HART devices
require MORE Voltage at higher current and MORE current source have LESS
Voltage available at higher current. The SVI II AP is noteworthy in that it requires
LESS Voltage at higher current that complements the characteristic of the source
requiring only 9 V at 20 mA.
Verify Wiring and Connections
NOTE For split range installations the compliance voltage must be
capable of the minimum span being 5 mA; the upper range
value must be 8 mA to 20 mA; the lower range values must
be 4 mA to 14 mA.
Use the following procedure to ensure that the SVI II AP is properly powered:
1. Connect a DC voltmeter across the input terminals.
For an input current between 4 and 20 mA the voltage varies between
11 V and 9 V respective.
When voltage exceeds 11 V check that polarity is correct.
If voltage is less than 9 V and polarity is correct, voltage compliance of
current source is inadequate.
2. Connect a milliampmeter in series with the current signal.
3. Verify that source can supply 20 mA to SVI II AP input. If 20 mA is not
attainable, troubleshoot the source and set up.

NOTE Improperly or inadequately grounded installations can cause
noise or instability in the control loop. The internal electronic
components are isolated from ground. Grounding the case is
unnecessary for functional purposes but grounding the case
may be necessary to conform to local codes.

INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the requirements for safe installation, repair, and operation of
the SVI-II AP as it relates to operation in areas where there is a potential for
explosive atmosphere or inflammable dust. Adherence to these requirements
assures that the SVI-II AP will not cause ignition of the surrounding atmosphere.
Hazards related to control of the process are beyond the scope of this manual.
For mounting instructions on specific valves refer to the mounting instructions
supplied with the mounting kit. Mounting does not affect the suitability of the SVIII AP for use in a potentially hazardous environment.
The SVI-II AP is manufactured by:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Installation and maintenance must be performed only by qualified personnel.
Area Classification, Protection Type, Temperature Class, Gas Group, and
Ingress protection must conform to the data indicated on the label.
Wiring and conduit must conform to all local and national codes governing the
installation. Wiring must be rated for at least 5ºC above the highest expected
ambient temperature.
Approved wire seals against ingress of water and dust are required and the NPT
fittings must be sealed with tape or thread sealant in order to meet the highest
level of ingress protection.
Where the protection type depends on wiring glands, the glands must be certified
for the type of protection required.
The metal housing is a die-casting alloy which is predominately aluminum.
Before powering the SVI-II AP:
Verify that the pneumatic and electronic cover screws are tightened. This
is important to maintain the ingress protection level and the integrity of the
flameproof enclosure.
If the Installation is Intrinsically safe, then check that the proper barriers
are installed and the field wiring meets local and national codes for an IS
installation. Never install a device, which was previously installed without
an intrinsically safe barrier, in an intrinsically safe system.
If the pneumatic system is powered by a combustible gas then the
installation must be treated as Zone 0 or DIV I.
If the Installation is Non-Incendive, then check that all the electrical
connections are made to approved devices and wiring meets local and
national codes.
Verify that the markings on the label are consistent with the application.
Verify that the air supply pressure can not exceed the marking on the
respective label.
!WARNING!
Failure to adhere to the requirements
listed in this manual may cause loss
of life and property.

THE AREA IS KNOW TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
5.2 Category II 1 (Zone 0)
For operation in hazardous area category II 1, over-voltage
protection of the electrical connections need to be installed according
to EN 60079-14
For operation in hazardous area category II 1 the ambient
temperature needs to be lowered according to the requirements of
EN 1127-1 (reduction factor of 80%). The max. allowed ambient
temperature for category 1 inclusive the requirement of EN1127-1 is:
T6 : Ta = -40°C to +43°C
T5 : Ta = -40°C to +55°C
T4 : Ta = -40°C to +83°C
5.3 Category II 1 (Zone 0)
“X” Marking on label - Since the SVI2-abcdefgh (“SVI-II AP”) and the
SVI-II Remote enclosures contain greater than 10% aluminum, care
must be taken during installation to avoid impacts or friction that could
create an ignition source.

Notes for Intrinsically Safe Installation
10.1 HAZARDOUS LOCATION
Refer to the device label for the description of the environment in
which the device may be installed.
10.2 FIELD WIRING
Intrinsically Safe wiring must be made with grounded shielded cable or
installed in grounded metal conduit. The electrical circuit in the
hazardous area must be capable of withstanding an A.C. test voltage
of 500 volts R.M.S. to earth or frame of the apparatus for 1 minute.
Installation must be in accordance with Masoneilan guidelines. The
installation including the barrier earthing requirements must comply
with the installation requirements of the country of use.
Factory Mutual requirements (USA): ANSI/ISA RP12.6 (Installation of
Intrinsically Safe Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Locations) and
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Division 2 installations
must be installed per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
See also, note 4.
CSA requirements (Canada): Canadian Electrical Code Part 1.
Division 2 installations must be installed per the Canadian Electrical
Code Division 2 Wiring Methods. See also note 4.
ATEX requirements (EU): Intrinsically safe installations must be
installed per EN60079-10 and EN60079-14 as they apply to the
specific category.
10.3 SVI-II AP (+) and (-) 4-20 mA IN Terminals
These terminals power the SVI-II AP. The barrier is the Controller
Output Type, for example MTL 728.
Entity Parameters: Vmax= 30 Vdc; Imax=125 mA; Ci = 6.5 nF; Li =
1 uH; Pmax = 900 mW
10.4 SVI-II AP (+) and (-) 4-20mA OUT Terminals
These terminals provide a 4 to 20 mA signal related to valve position.
The 4 to 20 OUT terminals behave much like the terminals of a
transmitter so a Transmitter type barrier with 250 Ohm series
resistance (internal or external) is used for this connection. For
example, MTL 788 or 788R.
Use of the 4-20 OUT feature is certified to ATEX intrinsically safe
requirements and is approved for use in Zone 0. Use of the 4-20
mA OUT feature has not been certified by FM or CSA. The 4-20
mA OUT feature may not be used in an intrinsically safe installation
when FM or CSA intrinsically safe approval is required. The 4-20
mA OUT feature is certified by FM and CSA for use in a DIV 2 area
and in a DIV 1 area when the SVI2 is installed in accordance with
flameproof requirements.

Entity Parameters:
Vmax = 30 Vdc; Imax = 125 mA; Ci = 8 nF; Li = 1 uH
max = 900 mW.
10.5 SVI-II AP (+) and (-) PV 1-5VDC Terminals
The Process Transmitter and the SVI-II AP PV Input are both barrier
protected. The transmitter 4 to 20 mA signal is converted to 1 to 5
Volts at the Transmitter barrier. The 1 to 5 volt signal is monitored by
the DCS and used by the SVI-II AP for the embedded process
controller. The sense resistor may be in the barrier or in the Digital
Control System.
The Process Transmitter must be approved for use with the Process
Transmitter Barrier. An example of a suitable barrier is MTL 788 or
788R An example of the PV INPUT barrier is MTL 728.
Entity Parameters of the SVI-II AP PV terminals:
Vmax = 30 Vdc; Imax = 125 mA; Ci = 1 nF; Li = 0 uH;
Pmax = 900 mW
10.6 SVI-II AP (+) and (-) SW Terminals
There are two independent isolated solid state switch contact outputs
on the SVI-II AP. They are labeled SW#1 and SW#2. The switches
are polarity sensitive – that is, conventional current flows INTO the
plus terminal. An examples of suitable barriers are MTL 707, MTL
787 and MTL 787S. Entity parameters are:
Vmax = 30 Vdc Imax = 125 mA Ci = 5 nF Li = 10 uH
Pmax = 900 mW
10.7 SVI-II AP (1) and (2) and (3) REMOTE Terminals
The REMOTE terminals deliver reference Voltage to an optional
remote position sensing potentiometer. Current, Voltage, and Power
are limited by the SVI-II AP.
The REMOTE terminals entity parameters are the parameters of the 4
to 20 mA INPUT barrier.
The SVI-II REMOTE MOUNT is approved for use as a remote position
sensing device with the SVI-II AP.
SVI-II AP Entity parameters are:
Uo/Voc = 6.5 Volts Io/Isc = 9.6 mA Ca = 22 uF La = 300 mH
Connect only to suitable potentiometer
SVI-II REMOTE MOUNT Entity parameters/Energy Limitation
Parameters are:
Ui/Vmax=6.5Volts, Ii/Imax=10.5mA, Ci=0uF, Li=0, Pi=68mW
10.8 Digital In Terminals
The Digital In terminal is suitable for direct connection to a passive
switch.
Entity Parameters are:
Uo/Voc = 6.5 Volts Io/Isc = 72 mA Ca = 1.25 uF La = 2 mH
Connect only to passive (Un-powered) switch.

10.9 Entity Requirement
Cable capacitance and inductance plus the I.S. apparatus unprotected
capacitance (Ci) and inductance (Li) must not exceed the allowed
capacitance (Ca) and inductance (La) indicated on the associated
apparatus. If the optional Hand Held Communicator is used on the
Hazardous Area side of the barrier, then the capacity and inductance
of the communicator must be added and the communicator must be
agency approved for use in the hazardous area. Also, the current
output of the Hand Held Communicator must be included in the
current output of the associated equipment.
The barriers may be active or passive and from any certified
manufacturer as long as the barriers comply with the listed entity
parameters.
10.10 Use in dust atmosphere
Dust-tight conduit seal must be used when installed in dust hazard
environments.
10.11 A device which has previously been installed without an
approved IS barrier must NEVER be used subsequently in an
intrinsically safe system. Installing the device without a barrier
can permanently damage the safety related components in the
device making the device unsuitable for use in an intrinsically
system.
