CVS Type 667 Diaphragm Actuator: Instruction Manual
Introduction
The CVS 667 is a reverse-acting, spring-opposed diaphragm actuators providing 3-inches (76 mm) of maximum travel. Although typical pressure ranges are 3 to 15 psi or 6 to 30 psi, additional pressure ranges are available upon request. The CVS Type 667 Actuator is used for automatic operation of control valves, effective in applications where throttling or on/off service is required. The actuator positions the valve plug in the valve in direct response to the varying loading pressure on the actuator diaphragm. When the signal pressure increases to the lower diaphragm casing, the actuator stem is forced upward, compressing the spring. When the signal pressure is reduced, the spring moves the actuator stem in the downward direction. If the signal pressure should fail, the spring will force the stem downward, providing failclosed action for push down to close valves.
Specifications
Refer to Table 1 for specifications for the CVS Type 667 Actuator, and to the nameplate on your actuator for settings specific to your equipment. It is important not to exceed the Maximum Diaphragm Pressure as listed in Table 1 when the actuator is set at less than full travel. If this pressure is exceeded before the travel stop comes in contact with the upper diaphragm plate, the maximum allowable valve stem load may be exceeded. The Maximum Excess Diaphragm Pressure as listed in Table 1 is the pressure that can be added when the actuator is set at full travel. The sum of the pressure which is required to fully stroke the valve and the excess pressure added when the actuator is against the stop must not exceed the Maximum Diaphragm Casing Pressure as outlined in Table 1.

Maximum diaphragm casing pressure must not be exceeded, and must not produce a force on the actuator stem greater than the maximum allowable actuator output thrust or the maximum allowable valve stem load. Actuator travel may be less than the value specified after being connected to the valve.
Installation
The CVS Type 667 Diaphragm Actuator is usually delivered mounted on a CVS Controls valve body. When installing the valve body into the pipeline, consult the instructions for that particular valve body. Should you have any questions during the installation procedure, consult your CVS Controls representative.
Note: Avoid clamping the tip of either the valve stem or the actuator stem in the stem connector. Failure to completely clamp the stems may strip the threads and affect proper operation. The length of each stem clamped in the stem connector should be equal to or greater than the diameter of that stem. 9. Lift the travel indicator disc to the stem connector and thread the stem locknuts against the stem connector. 10. Realign the travel indicator scale to show the valve position.
Actuator Mounting
1. Install the stem locknuts onto the valve stem and place the travel indicator disc onto the locknuts. 2. If the valve is direct-acting, push the valve stem down to close the valve. If the valve is reverseacting, push the valve stem down to open the valve. 3. Place the actuator onto the valve bonnet. If necessary, use a hoist or lift the actuator in order to slip the yoke locknut over the valve stem. 4. Screw the yoke locknut onto the bonnet securing the actuator to the bonnet. 5. Apply required supply pressure to actuator. If using a 6-30 signal, apply 35 psi. If using a 3-15 signal, apply 20 psi to move the actuator stem to the top of the travel. 6. Align the indicator disc with the travel side on the actuator by adjusting the locknuts. 7. Raise the valve plug until the travel disc aligns with the top of the scale (full travel). 8. Clamp the actuator and valve body stems between the two stem connector halves. Insert and tighten both stem connector cap screws. 2
Loading Connection
1. The loading pressure is connected to the 1/4inch NPT connection in the side of the yoke. 2. For the CVS 667 Actuator Size 70, remove the 1/4-inch bushing in the 1/2-inch NPT female connection to increase the connection size if desired. Piping or tubing can be used, but should be kept as short as possible to avoid transmission lag in the control signal. If an accessory is attached to the actuator ensure that it has been properly secured. 3. If the valve positioner is provided as part of the original equipment, the loading pressure connection will be made at the CVS Controls manufacturing facility. 4. Check the valve stem travel by cycling the actuator several times. Ensure that the proper travel occurs when the correct pressure range is applied to the diaphragm.
1. Loosen and back off the stem locknuts and indicator disc from the stem connector. 2. Loosen the stem connector cap screws.

Note: Do not use wrenches or other tools directly on the valve stem as this could cause damage to the stem surface and valve packing. 3. Tighten the locknuts (Keys 14 and 20) and complete the adjustment by either screwing the valve stem into the stem connector to lengthen travel or out of the stem connector to shorten travel. 4. Cycle the actuator to ensure that the correct travel has been achieved and repeat the adjustment if necessary. 5. When the correct travel has been reached tighten the stem connector cap screws. 6. Raise the travel indicator disc by threading the stem locknuts against the stem connector. 7. Adjust the travel scale to match the disc.
Figure 2: Schematic of CVS Type 667 Actuator Loading Connection contd 5. If the valve stem travel or pressure range is incorrect, refer to the Adjustments section of this manual. Do not place the valve in service if it is not responding properly to diaphragm loading pressure changes. For ease of service, ensure that the control valve is located for easy access and serviceability with room above for accessibility. Ensure that sufficient room is provided below should removal of the actuator and valve plug be necessary.
Spring
If the loading pressure range applied to reach the desired travel differs from that specified on the nameplate, a spring adjustment is required. Check the Bench Set pressure range on the nameplate when the valve contains no pressure and the packing is loosely inserted in the bonnet. Refer to the Diaphragm Pressure range on the nameplate when the valve is controlling the specified pressure drop and the packing is tightened to stop leaks around the stem. 1. Monitor the loading pressure while making adjustments. Be sure not to exceed the pressure specifications of either the loading regulator or the actuator casings. 2. Each actuator spring has a fixed pressure span. Changing the spring compression shifts the span up or down to make the valve travel coincide with the loading pressure range.
Adjustments
Travel
Refer to the nameplate on the yoke of the actuator for details on the specific construction and operating range of the control valve assembly. The requirements of your specific application will dictate the spring and diaphragm used in your CVS Type 667 Actuator, and when in service, the actuator should create full travel of the valve plug when diaphragm pressure is applied according to the range indicated on the name plate. Generally, the diaphragm pressure range is 3 to 15 PSI or 6 to 30 PSI, but other ranges may be used. If the motion during the actuator travel differs from the travel stamped on the actuator nameplate, adjust according to the following directions. In order to adjust the travel of a direct-acting valve, slightly pressure the actuator to move the valve plug off of the seat. This reduces the chance of damaging the valve plug or seat during adjustments.
Spring Adjustments contd 3. To shift the span up, turn the spring adjustor (Key 11) into the yoke. To shift the span down, turn the spring adjustor out of the yoke. 8. For operation of the CVS 667 Diaphragm Actuator the actuator stem and valve plug stem must move freely in response to the loading pressure change on the diaphragm. 9. 10.
Maintenance
Actuator parts are subject to normal wear and tear and should be inspected regularly. The frequency of inspection and replacement of parts is dependent on the severity of operating conditions. WARNING A sudden release of pressure or any uncontrolled process fluid can cause personal injury or damage to property. Prior to any disassembly, be sure to: Isolate the valve from the process, Release all process pressure Vent the actuator loading pressure, and Relieve all spring compression.
