Operational Overview
The SVi1000 is a smart electro-pneumatic positioner that receives a 4 - 20 mA electrical
position setpoint signal from the controller and compares the position setpoint input signal to
the valve position feedback sensor. The difference between the position setpoint and position
feedback is analyzed by the position control algorithm that sets a servo signal for the I/P
converter. The output pressure of the I/P is amplified by a pneumatic relay that drives the
actuator. Once the error between the setpoint and the valve position feedback is within range,
no other correction is applied to the servo signal in order to maintain valve position.
The local user interface and LEDs provide configuration or calibration mode in all operating
environments.
The optional position retransmit version transmits the actual position via 4 - 20 mA signal to a
supervisory system.

Modes
The SVi1000 provides the following modes of operation:
Normal mode
HART® Override mode (Formerly Manual and Setup Modes)
Failsafe mode
Commission Process (Via Local User Interface)
Find Stops via Local User Interface
Manual upper stops adjustment via Local User Interface
Autotune via Local User Interface
The SVi1000 always starts up in the mode that the unit was last in before power down, except
for failsafe mode when the condition causing fail safe has been corrected.
WARNING Always ensure the SVi1000 has returned to Normal mode after
any configuration activity.
Normal Mode In this mode the valve follows the 4-20 mA input signal.
HART® Override mode In HART® override mode, the local user interface buttons are dis-
abled until any button is pushed, then local control is reestablished.
This, from the instrument interface, functions as Manual and Setup
mode from the optional laptop-based software and other HART®
interface tools.
In HART® Override Mode the following tasks are supported over
HART® by ValVue or DTM based interface:
Set Characterization (Linear, Enable or Disable Bumpless Transfer

Equal%(30,50,Camflex), Quick Open and Cus-
tom
Set Near Closed Value Allow Tune to Override limits
Configure Tight Shutoff Set Lower and Upper Position Limits
Configure Position Fault Limits (Position Error Configure Switch I/O
Band and Time 1)
Run Find Stops Run AutoTune (Provided the option is set at
the local user interface)
Perform a Manual Find Stops Set Open Stop Adjustment
Set Valve Position Command valve to full open or closed
Configuration Selection This switch provides control to the following functions:
Switch
Actuator Air Action
Select autotuned or preset tuning parameters
Auto Find Stops This function automatically sets the lower and upper stops. See
“Auto Find Stops” on page 53 for this procedure.
Open Stop Adjustment Use the Open Stop Adjustment Screw to perform an upper stop
adjustment and save it to the device. See “Open Stops Adjustments”
on page 54 for this procedure.
Autotuning The autotune process determines optimum tuning parameters for
the valve being commissioned. This function is only active when the
Configuration Selector Switch is set to AutoTune. See “Auto Tune” on
page 57 for this procedure.
Failsafe Mode When a fault results in Failsafe mode being activated, the output
pressure of the SVi1000 is set low and the red status LED illuminates
continuously. If the fault is considered self-clearing, then once cor-
rected, the unit returns to Normal mode. If the fault is not self-clear-
ing, then the unit requires a reset after correcting the failsafe
condition.
Commission Processes These are temporary states activated when a local user interface
issued command dictates their use. When the positioner is in a Com-
mission Processes a status light indicates this activity (see “LED Light
Functions” on page 23). Examples of Commission Processes are Auto
Find Stops and Auto Tune. Once a task completes the unit returns to
Normal mode.

positioner and on the air filter regulator set.
Do not allow standing water to accumulate.
Observe storage temperature requirements.
WARNING Do not connect a non-intrinsically safe approved PC or HART®

modem to an intrinsically safe circuit except on the safe area side
of the barrier. Do not operate a PC in a hazardous area without
compliance to local and plant regulations.
CAUTION Do not connect a HART® modem and PC to a control circuit

unless the controller is HART® compatible or has a HART® filter.
Loss of control or a process upset may occur if the controller
output circuit is not compatible with a HART® signal.

Mounting and Wiring
This section describes how to mount and wire the SVi1000, which includes:
“Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000” on page 34.

“Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000 on Rotary Valves” on page 35
“Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000 on Reciprocating Valves” on page 39
“Step 2: Connecting the Tubing and Air Supply” on page 43
“Step 3: Wiring the SVi1000” on page 44
WARNING Failure to adhere to the requirements listed in this manual may

cause loss of life and property.
Before installing or using this instrument, READ THE

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Refer to “9. Wiring Theory for an
SVi1000” for detailed instructions.
Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000
This guide provides installation instructions for mounting an SVi1000 on both rotary and
reciprocating style valves. The mounting process can be broken down into the following:
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.

2. Install the magnetic assembly.
3. Assemble the SVi1000 on the mounting bracket.
CAUTION The SVi1000 cover must be in place and secured using all four
screws during operation.
NOTE Mount the SVi1000 with the conduit connection 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 an SVi1000
positioner on a control valve, ensure that:
If the valve is located in a hazardous area, ensure 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 de-energized position.
For the procedure to install rotary and reciprocating mounting kits on valves, refer to the
instructions contained in the valve’s mounting box kit.
Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000 on Rotary Valves
This section describes the procedure for mounting the SVi1000 on rotary control valves that
have less than 60° rotation, such as the Camflex*.

Internal valve pressure The valve plug 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 exam-
ple, the shaft must be bearing on its stop to properly set up the
SVi1000 positioner. During hydrostatic testing the shaft is thrust to
its stop and a normally tightened packing retains it in that position.
Vacuum service The valve shaft is drawn into the body by the vacuum acting on the
shaft, but the magnetic coupling must be assembled flush with the
mounting bracket.
3. Perform magnet install and travel sensor alignment by:
a. Sliding the magnet holder into the extension shaft. The magnets are in the magnet
holder ring. The magnetic axis is the imaginary line through the center of both
magnets.
b. Rotating the magnet holder so that the magnet axis is vertical when the valve is in the
closed position (Table 2). If mounting kit is installed on fail-open valve, apply air to the
actuator to close the valve before installing magnet holder.

Particulate Matter Filtered to 5 microns
Oil Content Less than 1 ppm w/w
Contaminants Free of all corrosive contaminants
4. Supply clean, dry compressed air to the filter regulator.

5. Turn on the air supply.
6. Adjust the filter regulator.
Supply pressure must be a minimum of 5 psi above the spring range of the actuator but
may not exceed the rated actuator pressure. Refer to the valve or actuator instruction
manual.
Step 3: Wiring the SVi1000
WARNING Comply with current national and local regulations for electrical
installation work.
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the
instrument.
CAUTION 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.
Refer to “10. Optional Switch Load Limits” on page 89 for

guidelines on safely wiring switch load limits.
Wiring Guidelines
Guidelines for a successful implementation of DC current signal, DC power, and HART®

communication to the SVi1000:
Compliance voltage at the SVi1000 is approximately 9 V at the current of 20 mA.

Signal to the SVi1000 must be a regulated current in the range 3.2 to 22 mA.
Controller output circuit must be unaffected by the HART® tones which are in the
frequency range between 1200 and 2200 Hz.
In the frequency range of the HART® tones, the controller must have a circuit
impedance of more than 220 Ohms, typically 250 Ohms.
HART® tones may be imposed by the positioner and a communication device located
anywhere on the signaling circuit.
Cabling must be shielded to prevent electrical noise that would interfere with the
HART® tones, with the shield grounded.
Shield must be properly grounded in only one place.
For details and calculation methods for wiring resistance, and capacitance and for
calculation of cable characteristics, refer to the HART® FSK Physical Layer
Specification.
For split range installations the output voltage must be sufficient to operate two
positioners (11 V @ 4 mA, 9 V @ 20 mA) and the expected voltage drop in the cable.
Use of a low impedance voltage source damages the SVi1000. The current source
must be a true high impedance current limiting device. A proper current source
explicitly enables adjustment of the current, not the voltage.
When wiring a position retransmit:
Use the same gauge wires as the 4-20 mA control loop.
Ensure that the position retransmit signal is connected to the control system’s
analog input card.
Ensure the control loop is powered while making make measurements with a meter.
WARNING This process can cause the valve to move. Before proceeding be
sure the valve is isolated from the process. Keep hands clear from
moving parts.
Wiring an SVi100 Unit
Tools required:
Wire stripper
Flat head screwdrivers for cover and connectors
To connect:
CAUTION For proper operation, maintain signal polarity + and - respectively.
CAUTION You must read “10. Optional Switch Load Limits” on page 89
before proceeding. The load across these switches must conform
to the limits described in that discussion.
1. Loosen the four (4) cover screws and remove the SVi1000 cover (Figure 30).
Figure 30 Front Cover
2. Connect the 4 - 20 mA input signal and the optional switches or position retransmit by:
a. Stripping the insulation at the end of both wires 0.43" / 11 mm.
b. Inserting the stripped end of the wires fully in to the appropriate terminal. Loosen the
terminal screw if required to insert the wire.
Refer to the label next to each screw terminal to determine the function of the terminal
and correct polarity (see Figure 31 for 4 - 20 mA connections and Figure 32 on page 47 on
for position retransmit).

Troubleshooting Connections
Basic Unit/Optional Switches Unit
To troubleshoot control loop connections:
1. Connect a DC voltmeter across the input terminals.

For an input current between 4 and 20 mA the voltage varies between 11V and 9 V
respective.
If voltage exceeds 11 V check that polarity is correct.
If the polarity is correct but the voltage is less than 8.05 V, then the current source
voltage is not compliant.
2. Verify that source can supply 20 mA to SVi1000 input. If 20 mA is not attainable,
troubleshoot the source.
Position Retransmit Units
To troubleshoot control loop connections:
1. Connect a DC voltmeter across the input and output terminals.

respective.
If voltage exceeds 11 V check that polarity is correct.
If the polarity is correct but the voltage is less than 8.05 V, then the current source
voltage is not compliant.
To troubleshoot retransmit connections:
Ensure that the retransmit circuit has a minimum input voltage of 10 V

(maximum 30 V).
Ensure the minimum retransmit current is 3.2 mA. If the SVi1000 positioner loses power
and the retransmit circuit remains powered, the AO signal will be 3.2 mA.
4. Check Out and Power Up
Overview
This section provides the calibration procedures to ensure proper valve positioning, including:
1. “Step 1: Inspect the Actuator, Linkages, or Rotary Adapter” on page 50

2. “Step 2: Verify Mounting and Linkage Adjustment” on page 50
3. “Step 3: Checking the Magnet” on page 50
4. “Step 4: Checking the Air Supply” on page 51
5. “Step 5: Verify Wiring Connections” on page 52
6. “Step 6: Configuration” on page 53
NOTE Perform all procedures in this section before putting the SVi1000 into
operation.
Step 1: Inspect the Actuator, Linkages, or Rotary Adapter
1. Verify that the mounting has not been damaged in shipment for a pre-mounted SVi1000,
physically inspect the actuator and linkage.
2. Record the following information for the configuration checkout:
Valve Air to Open (ATO) or Air to Close (ATC)
Actuator pressure rating
Actuator spring range
Inherent trim characteristic of the control valve; linear, equal percentage, or other.
NOTE Refer to the valve data sheet or control valve model number.
Step 2: Verify Mounting and Linkage Adjustment

Inspect the mounting and make any needed adjustments before running the positioner and
checking the digital configuration.
Step 3: Checking the Magnet

There are two methods of checking the SVi1000 magnet:
“Perform a Visual Inspection” on page 50

“Use ValVue to Check Magnet Position” on page 51
Perform a Visual Inspection
Rotary Valves
Ensure that mounting has been performed as per “Step 1: Mounting the SVi1000 on Rotary
Valves” on page 35.
Reciprocating Valves
1. Ensure the adjustable link turnbuckle is parallel to the valve stem.
2. Ensure proper mounting by verifying that the hole in the lever aligns with the alignment
hole in the bracket when the valve is in the closed position. Ensure the bracket is mounted
using the proper holes (see Table 3 on page 40).
Use ValVue to Check Magnet Position
To check the magnet using ValVue:
1. Connect to the positioner in accordance with the ValVue instructions.

a. Ensure the positioner has been installed and set up with a HART® modem in a HART®
compliant communications loop, if required, install ValVue on the computer that is
connected to the HART® modem.
b. Run ValVue.
c. Select the installed positioner from the list of connected devices.
d. Select the Raw Data tab to view the current operating conditions of the selected
positioner.
2. Read Raw Position data. When the valve is:
Closed, the value should be between – 1000 and +1000 for a reciprocating valve or a
60° rotation rotary valve.
At mid-travel, the value should be between –1000 and +1000 for a greater than 60°
rotation rotary valve.
Step 4: Checking the Air Supply

To check the air supply:
1. Turn on the air supply.

2. Adjust the filter regulator.
3. Supply pressure must be a minimum of 5 psi greater than the spring range of the actuator
but may not exceed the rated actuator pressure. Refer to the valve or actuator instruction
manual.
4. Inspect the tubing connections between the filter-regulator and the positioner for leaks.
5. Verify that the tubing is not bent or crushed.
6. Verify that all fittings are leak tight.
CAUTION Do not use Teflon pipe seal tape. The Teflon tape can shred into
particles that are harmful to the pneumatic components.
Step 5: Verify Wiring Connections
NOTE For split range installations the output voltage must be sufficient
to operate two positioners (11 V @ 4 mA, 9 V @ 20 mA) and the
expected voltage drop in the cable. See “Split Range Applications”
on page 82 for more information.
Use the following procedure to ensure that the SVi1000 is properly powered:
1. Connect a DC voltmeter across:

The input terminals for a basic switch or switch option unit.
The In and Out terminals for a position retransmit unit.
respectively.
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.
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.
Step 6: Configuration
This section describes configuration using the local user interface pushbuttons and the preset
switches available on the unit. You can also use ValVue and a PC with a HART® modem or a
HART® Handheld Communicator. Prior to changing the SVi1000 configuration, check the
existing configuration.
Use the procedures that follow to: run auto stops, run open stop adjustment and perform
preset or auto tune.
WARNING These procedures can cause the valve to move. Before proceeding
be sure the valve is isolated from the process. Keep hands clear
from moving parts.
NOTE All calibration and configuration procedures are described using

the SVi1000 local user interface. See “ValVue Software” on
page 16 for an overview of ValVue software functions.
Auto Find Stops

To perform auto find stops:
1. Set the air action (0-7 for ATO or 8-F for ATC).
2. Press auto find stops button until green LED 1 illuminates, then release (approximately 2
seconds to turn on and release before 7 seconds). The unit goes into a Commission Process
and green LED 1 blinks until the process completes. The auto find stops process occurs.
When the process is complete, the unit automatically returns to Normal mode.
Press Cancel to abort the process and the green LED 1 goes off, the device returns to
Normal mode and no changes occur.
Open Stops Adjustments
To perform auto find stops:
1. Press the upper stop adjustment button for two to seven seconds, until green LED 2
illuminates, then release. Green LED 2 flashes.
2. Move the valve to the desired location via the Open Stop Adjustment Screw (Figure 33).

Tuning
Methods for tuning the SVi1000:
Presets; The fastest is to use a preset tuning for the actuator in use ( “Preset Tune” on
page 55). Using presets saves time as you do not run Auto Tune.
Auto Tune: If desired, run Auto Tune ( “Auto Tune” on page 57).
PID Settings: The third method is to manually tune PID settings for fine tuning, if
desired. See the online help.
Preset Tune
Preset tuning is done according to valve/actuator size. Figure 34 shows the graphic that
appears on the local user interface. As valve size increases values increase from 1 to 7 and 9
to F. 0 and 8 are reserved for auto tuning ATO and ATC valves, respectively.
Preset tuning becomes active immediately.

6. Operation and Maintenance
Principle of Operation
The SVi1000 Electro Pneumatic Valve Positioner receives an electrical position setpoint signal
from a controller or other device and compares the position setpoint input signal to the valve
position. The difference between the position setpoint and position feedback is interpreted by
the position control algorithm. This is used to compute a new output pressure. This output
pressure is amplified by a pneumatic relay that drives the actuator. When the valve position
agrees with the value called for by the position setpoint input signal the system stabilizes with no
further movement of the actuator.
Figure 38 Block Diagram with I/P Converter
Physical and Operational Description

The SVi1000 is housed in an industrial, tough, weatherproof, corrosion resistant polycarbonate
housing. Electrical connections are made through two 1/2" NPT conduit entries. Pneumatic
connections are made through two or three ¼" NPT ports.
Electronics Module
The Electronics module consists of an electronic circuit encapsulated in a housing. The
electronics include a multiplexer, A/D, D/A, temperature sensor, Hall-Effect magnetic position
sensor, pressure sensors, a micro controller, and a power management/distribution circuit.
The programs controlling the SVi1000 positioner are stored in a flash memory that allows for
the downloading of upgraded firmware.
A separate non-volatile memory stores configuration information, and continuous diagnostic

results. Expansion capabilities include two digital software switches and manifold gauges.
Using the internal programmed positioner algorithm, the CPU computes the required output
based on information received from the measurement sensors.
Magnetic Position Sensor
A non-contact sensor uses a magnetic field to transfer the position through the wall of the
housing, without penetration, to sense the valve position. A Hall effect device, sealed within
the electronics housing, senses the rotation of a magnetic assembly mounted on the end of a
rotary valve shaft or on a driven linkage mounted on a reciprocating valve.
The output of the Hall sensor provides the position feedback signal to the position control
algorithm. The magnetic assembly is environmentally sealed and is entirely external to the
electronics housing. (See Figure 38 on page 65.) The Hall effect sensor has a maximum travel
range of up to 140° rotation.
Position Retransmit
The position transmission option provides a 4 - 20 mA signal proportional to valve position
transmitted on a separate pair of leads.
The 4-20 retransmit signal is galvanically isolated from the 4-20 input on the main board.
Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is located in the electronics module and measures ambient

temperature. This measurement is used to provide temperature compensation for the position
and pressure sensors and other internal electronic components. The temperature is read via
the HART® communication link to provide a warning of excessive ambient temperature at the
positioner.
Pneumatic Module
The pneumatic module consists of an I/P and Relay assembly.
Current-to-Pressure Converter, I/P
The I/P converts a current signal to a pressure signal in the following manner:
1. A fixed coil creates a magnetic field proportional to the applied current.

2. The field magnetically pulls a flexure towards a nozzle to increase pressure on the flexure.
3. The pressure on the flexure increases in response to an increase in the coil current.
Encapsulation of the coil provides protection from the environment.
Single Acting Pneumatic Relay

The single acting pneumatic relay amplifies the pressure from the I/P and increases airflow as
required for stable, responsive, actuator performance. The single acting relay operates on any
supply pressure that is at least 5 psi (.345 bar, 34.5 kPa) above the required actuator pressure,
up to 100 psi (6.9 bar, 690 kPa).

Repair by Replacement
Using ValVue and repair-by-replacement is the fastest method to service an SVi1000. See the
ValVue SVI1000 DTM software instruction manual or help for details regarding uploading and
downloading configuration files. Upload all configuration information from the installed
positioner to ValVue, then install the replacement positioner and download the configuration
file into the replacement unit. Run STOPS, and AutoTune, and the repair is complete. The
positioner that was removed can be refurbished and reused.
NOTE Substitution of components can void safety approvals.
A series replacement kits are available and are listed in “Spare Parts” on page 74. Each of
these kits comes with a procedure for completing the replacement.
Internal Diagnostics
The SVi1000 performs internal self-diagnostics and hardware checks. When ValVue or HART®
Handheld or the local display indicates that there are error messages write them down for
troubleshooting.
FAILSAFE Mode
Several of the internal diagnostics tests puts the SVi1000 into FAILSAFE mode if the errors
continue for a preset time. When the SVi1000 goes into FAILSAFE, the valve is driven to its
Failsafe position. It remains in that position until the positioner automatically clears the cause
of the error and resets the instrument.
Upgrading Firmware
The SVi1000 is equipped with a nonvolatile re-writable Flash Memory for program storage.
The firmware can be updated as improvements and advances are made in the embedded
programs that operate the SVi1000. Firmware improvements for the SVi1000 can be obtained
by contacting the factory.

8. Using the Digital Interfaces
Overview
This section describes the ways to communicate, configure, and calibrate the SVi1000. You can:
Streamline the valve positioning function

Improve precision of process control
Communicate critical information locally and remotely
The four available communication tools listed below offer increasing levels of functionality.
Local User Interface and LEDs. See “Functionality” on page 19.

“Hand Held Communicator” on page 76
“ValVue” on page 80
Any HART® capable Host loaded with the DD for the SVi1000.
Hand Held Communicator
The HART® handheld communicator is a universally available tool that provides all the
accessibility of the local user interface. The HART® tool has the functionality to upload and
download configurations, enter alphanumeric messages and set the custom characteristic
numerical parameters. The GE DPI620, used as an example here, is approved for Intrinsically
Safe use in Hazardous Areas in accordance with SVi1000 Approvals and in accordance with
the HHC approvals. Additionally, you can use Emerson 475, Fluke 774, SMAR HPC301 or
Merram 4X00.
For communication to a HART® device, there is a Device Description Language. A Device

Description, DD, is published by registration with the HART® Communication Foundation.
When the DD is installed in a host communication device then the host can readily access all
the information in the smart field device. The SVi1000 registered DD will be available from
HART® Communication Foundation when it next publishes the HART® DD.
While the SVi1000 is equipped with a local user interface, checkout and configuration can
also be performed using the standard HART® communications interface.
Connect the HART® Handheld Communicator (HHC) to the SVi1000 as shown in Figure 40.

9. Wiring Theory for an SVi1000
Introduction
The SVi1000 provides reliable operations of control valves with utmost simplicity in setup and
commissioning. It is uniquely equipped with a non-contact travel sensor allowing for accurate
positioning and maintenance free operations. The pneumatic train of the SVi1000 is a
dual-stage amplification system with stainless steel parts for durability. Using HART® eDDL and
FDT-DTM technologies, the Masoneilan SVi1000 positioner provides interoperability with leading
control systems suppliers.
SVi1000 Setups
Typical system setups are shown in Figure 41, General Purpose Installation schematic.
Wiring diagrams are generalized, actual wiring must adhere to the electrical installation section
of manual and local electrical codes.

For information and diagrams to install the SVi1000 when located in a hazardous area protected
by Intrinsically Safe wiring practices, refer to ES-761 the Intrinsically Safe Wiring Requirements
section in the SVi1000 Quick Start sent with the positioner.
Split Range Applications
The SVi1000 is designed to operate in split range configurations supporting up to three
control valves connected to a single controller output. Minimum input current span for each
SVIi1000 is 5 mA. For each positioner the upper range value is between 8 and 20 mA and the
lower range value is between 4 and 14 mA. For example, three devices might be configured
with input current ranges of 4 - 9 mA; 9 - 14 mA, and 14 - 20 mA. Split range operation with
SVi1000 requires special consideration of the compliance voltage. The SVi1000 requires at
least 9.0 V. Two SVi1000 in series requires at least 18.0 V in addition to the voltage drops in
wiring and other series devices. Typical controller output current sources rarely deliver 24 V, so
the system can become voltage starved. It is possible to boost the compliance voltage of the
DCS using a series wired voltage source power supply, as shown in Figure 42. The total loop
voltage must not exceed the rating for the controller output current source. Contact the DCS
vendor to validate this approach. See the Position Retransmit screen in the SVi1000 DTM to
configure the software.
NOTE The internal electronic components are isolated from ground.

Grounding the case is unnecessary for functional purposes.
Grounding the case may be necessary to conform to local codes.

System Connections Considerations
All system connections must comply with the HART® Communications Protocol
Specifications. For complete technical information refer to the HART® Communications
Foundations Document Number HCF-SPEC-11 and the references. The SVi1000 is a HART®
compliant device of type Actuator. It is therefore a receiver of 4 - 20 mA, and cannot have a
voltage source applied to its input terminals.
CAUTION Applying a voltage can cause damage and void the warranty.
When installing the SVi1000 in a 4 - 20 mA current loop, the engineer designing the loop must
consider a set of conflicting electrical requirements. The control signal to the positioner is a 4 -
20 mA current generated by the controller or DCS and transmitted to the positioner located
remotely in the field. The electrical characteristics of a current loop sending a signal to the
field device are different from the apparently similar loop bringing a signal to a controller from
a transmitter in the field.
The positioner receives its power from the current signal. It receives its control setpoint from
the value of the current and it must be able to communicate bi-directionally by
superimposing signal tones upon the current signal without distorting the current signal,
without the tones being affected by the electrical characteristics of the current signaling
device. All these conflicting requirements must be met with equipment manufactured by
various manufacturers, and work with long cables, in a noisy hostile plant environment.
Energy levels are often limited for safe installation in explosive environments. Special
engineering may be required to meet the signaling requirements at low energy levels.
The following will not cover all the details for a successful installation, in all cases. That is
beyond the scope of this instruction. It will suffice to explain the requirements as a guide use
to obtain necessary components from many sources for a successful installation.
CAUTION Do not connect a HART® modem and PC to a control circuit

Loss of control or a process upset may occur if the controller
output circuit is not compatible with HART® signals.
Install in compliance with Hazardous Area rules in accordance

with local electrical codes and plant standards by trained
specialists.
Do not connect a PC or HART® modem (that is not approved as

intrinsically safe) to an intrinsically safe circuit except on the safe
area side of the barrier. Do not operate a PC in a hazardous area
without compliance to local and plant regulations.
NOTE A control circuit must be HART® compatible or have a HART® filter
installed. Contact the manufacturers of the controller or DCS. See
“HART Filter Requirements” on page 39.
Comply with current national and local regulations for

electrical installation work.
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the
instrument or make sure that the locale conditions permit the
safe opening of the cover.
Wiring Guidelines
See “Wiring Guidelines” on page 44 for a list of guidelines for a successful implementation of
DC current signal, DC power, and HART® communication to the SVi1000.
Grounding Practices
To ensure proper grounding make sure that case, signal, and ground connections are made in
compliance with the plant’s 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. The case is isolated from all
circuitry and can be grounded locally in accordance with applicable codes.
Compliance Voltage in Single Drop Current Mode
The SVi1000 requires 9.0 Volts at 20 mA and 11.0 Volts at 4 mA. Typical smart devices require
MORE voltage at higher current. The controller supplying the current has LESS voltage
available at higher current. The SVi1000 is unique in that it requires LESS voltage at higher
current which complements the characteristic of the source requiring only 9 Volts at 20 mA.
NOTE Improperly or inadequately grounded installations can cause

noise or instability in the control loop. The internal electronics are
isolated from ground. Grounding the case is unnecessary for
functional purposes but grounding the case may be necessary to
conform to local codes.
Table 15 through Table 17 on page 86 provide examples of several SVi1000 installations and
calculating the compliance voltage necessary to supply 9 Volts at 20 mA.
Table 15 Compliance Voltage for Single Channel Zener with 22 AWG Cable

Drop in passive HART® Filter1 0.0 V
Voltage required at controller 17.64 V

Conclusion: The control system must have a compliance voltage equal to or greater than
17.64 volts; contact the DCS vendor to verify compliance.

Conclusion: The compliance voltage issue is not present because the Isolator provides all the
necessary voltage.

Conclusion: The control system must have a compliance voltage equal to or greater than 16.3
volts; contact the DCS vendor to verify compliance.
Wire Size and Conduit

Electrical connections are made to the electronics module terminal board. The terminals
accept wire sizes up to AWG 14. The SVi1000 is supplied with two 1/2" NPT conduit entries.
M20 adapters are available. Internal and external ground terminals are provided for use if
grounding is required.
NOTE When an intrinsic safety barrier separates the SVi1000 from the
modem or HHC a HART® compliant barrier must be used.
HART® Physical Layer Compliance of the Control System
Communications to a SVi1000 requires a HART®-compliant communications loop. The HART®
protocol specifies the noise level, impedance requirements, and configuration of the loop. The
controller or output card of the control system must comply with the Physical Layer
Specification.
Impedance Constraints
HART® communication is based on the talking device generating an AC current
superimposed on the 4 - 20 mA control signal. Two frequencies are generated; 1200 Hz
representing the digital value 1 and 2200 Hz representing the digital value 0. The listening
device responds to the voltage generated when the AC current flows through the loop
impedance. In order to generate a voltage from a current there must be impedance. HART®
Protocol requires that this impedance be at least 220 Ohms at the tone signaling frequencies.
HART® compliant current sources are supplied with the correct Impedance Versus Frequency
Characteristic. In Non-Compliant Current Sources there may be a noise reduction capacitor
across the output that lowers the impedance at higher frequencies and thus lowers the
signaling voltage. To be certain that at least 220 Ohms of impedance is presented by the
current source a resistor can be added in series with the current source. This reduces the
effective compliance voltage of the current source by 20 mA times the value of the series
resistor. An added resistor is unnecessary during tests with high impedance current
calibrators such as the Altek Model 334 Loop Calibrator.
Noise Constraints
HART® Communication depends on converting two frequencies (1200 and 2200 Hz) into
digital values 1 and 0. Noise can cause errors in the conversion. Conventional good wiring
practice, such as use of twisted shielded pair cable with the shield and signal loop grounded
at only one point, minimizes the effects of noise.
Cabling and Interconnection Requirements
Interconnections are made using shielded twisted pair cables. The shield is connected to
ground at one point only. The signal loop is grounded at only one point in accordance with
plant electrical standards. It is customary to ground the signal at the controller or intrinsic
safety barrier. The SVi1000 is supplied with two 1/2" NPT conduit entries. M20 adapters are
available. Internal and external ground terminals are provided for case grounding
requirements.
WARNING Install the SVi1000 in accordance with local and national code in
both general and hazardous area locations. Substitution of
components can impair suitability for use in hazardous locations.
NOTE The internal electronic components are isolated for ground.

Grounding the case is unnecessary for functional purposes.
Grounding the case may be necessary to conform to local codes.
Capacitance vs. Length of Cable for HART®

The HART® Communications Foundations specifies cable capacitance requirements to
preserve signal strength. Refer to the standards for detailed calculation methods.
CAUTION Do not connect a HART® modem and a PC to a control circuit

Loss of control or a process upset can occur if the controller output
circuit is not compatible with HART® signals.
HART® Filter Required for Certain Control System Output Circuits

The SVi1000 is intended for use with all control systems. However, output circuits of several
major DCS systems are incompatible with the tones used for HART® signals. You must verify
that the DCS or controller works reliably with the HART® protocol. When the DCS is
incompatible an external HART® filter must be installed between the field wiring and the
output card. MTL manufactures the HART® filter HCU16AO. It is a 16 channel DIN rail mounted
device composed of passive circuitry that introduces negligible voltage drop. For additional
information, contact MTL.
NOTE A control circuit must be HART® compatible or have a HART® filter

installed. Contact the manufacturer of the controller or DCS. See
“HART Filter Requirements” on page 39. of this manual for more
information.
10. Optional Switch Load Limits
Output Switches
Introduction
The SVi1000 supports two identical contact outputs, SW #1 and SW #2 (Digital Output switches),
that can be logically linked to status bits. The Digital Output switch terminals are solid state
contacts. Each switch requires its own power source and must be connected to the appropriate
connector on the Electronics Module Terminal Board.
The switches are polarity sensitive and must be connected only to a DC circuit. The switch (+)
terminal must be electrically positive with respect to the (–) terminal. If the (+) terminal is
electrically negative with respect to the (–) terminal, then the switch will conduct.
There must be a series load in the circuit to prevent damage to the switch. If the switch is
connected directly across the power source the current will be limited only by the capacity
of the power source and the switch can be damaged.
This section discusses the necessary precautions when configuring a system. See “Optional
Retransmit Output” on page 91 for additional considerations for a retransmit equipped SVi1000.

ISWITCH
CAUTION Incorrect polarity connection results in an effectively closed connection.
Consult with qualified personnel to ensure that electrical requirements for the
switch are met.
The maximum voltage that can be applied to the digital switch outputs is 30 VDC. This is an open
circuit parameter (the digital switch is in the open state). Under open circuit conditions, the
switch current will be less than 0.200 mA.
The switch maximum current rating is 1 A. When the switch is ON, the typical voltage drop
across the switch is 1V. It is essential that the external circuit controls voltage such that the
switch saturation voltage is maintained.
When the switch is on (closed) the external voltage must be dropped across the load
(Figure 43).
CAUTION The load must be designed such that the current in the circuit is
1 A at all times. Some 3rd party devices, such as incandescent
lamps or solenoids, require surge and back EMI protection to limit
current to 1 A.
Load is designed to ensure that voltage across the switch is < 1 V.

Optional Retransmit Output
Introduction
The SVi1000 supports a 4-20mA Position Retransmit Feedback option. The retransmit output
requires a DC power source (10V~30V) to properly function. The signal could be input into a
DCS/PLC analog input module to read out the current valve position.
The output terminals are polarity sensitive and must be connected only to a DC circuit. The
Retransmit (+) terminal must be electrically positive with respect to the (–) terminal. In normal
working conditions, the retransmit output follows the valve position by outputting a 4-20mA
analog signal. If the positioner stops working due to lose of loop power or malfunctioning, the
retransmit output stays at around 3.2 mA.
This section discusses the necessary precautions when configuring a system.
CAUTION An incorrect polarity connection will result

in device not properly functioning or with
internal circuitry damage.
CAUTION Consult with qualified personnel to ensure

that electrical requirements for the switch
are met.
The external series resistor is normally located in a DCS/PLC analog input module, so that the
valve position (current) can be transferred into voltage (Figure 45).

11. Air to Open and Air to Close Actuators
Actuator Action
It is important to correctly assign air actuator action for each control variable throughout a
control system. Even the control valve subsystem can be complex. Figure 46 and Figure 47 show
the action of air to open, ATO, and air to close, ATC, valves when used with SVi1000. The figures
show a direct acting positioner with linear and percentage characteristics. Some hysteresis is
shown for the actuator pressure signal that is caused by friction in typical actuators. The scales
are chosen to emphasize the relationships between input current and actuator pressure, so that
the failsafe valve position is shown at the lower left of each graph.
NOTE For an ATC valve, 4 mA represents 100% valve travel not the expected 0%. The
controller and other human machine interfaces must correctly show that the
valve is open 100% at 4 mA and closed 0% at 20.
The graph shows the valve movement and actuator pressure when the Tight Shut-off, T.S.,
option is set at about 5%. The valve movement and actuator pressure are also shown at the low
current lift-off point at about 3.6 mA, below which the positioner is initializing its settings until
power is stabilized.

13. Air Supply Requirements
Air Supply Requirements

A high quality air supply greatly improves the quality of control and reduce pneumatic
equipment maintenance costs. See ANSIISA-7.0.01-1996 - Quality Standard for Instrument Air.
Air supply failure requires special attention to minimize process effects. Design and apply all
process equipment to fail to a safe condition. This includes air supply failure. SVi1000 is designed
to fail to a condition of low or no air pressure. Choose control valve actuators to move the valve
to a safe condition when air pressure is low or absent. For example, a valve supplying fuel to a
combustion process is normally equipped with an Air to Open valve. In other words, the fuel flow
is shut off if air fails.
Additional process precautions can be taken. When the air supply recovers, the setpoint to the
valve must be at a value that continues to hold the valve in its safe condition, or to move it to a
known safe condition. To do so, put the control system sending the control valve position
setpoint into manual mode and set to 0%. After the air supply has stabilized at its correct
pressure, the setpoint can be moved to its operation point in accordance with the plant’s safe
start-up procedures. An additional precaution required on critical processes with an ATO control
valve is to install a shut-off valve that supplements the control valve by moving to a safe
condition on air failure, and remains in that condition until all necessary requirements for safe
start-up have been met.
WARNING Keep clear of moving parts. The SVi1000 can cause the valve to move when
the air supply returns.
14. Adjusting Speed of Response
Adjusting Speed of Response

The SVi1000 provides in its calibration software the ability to automatically tune the connected
valve. The auto tune feature has robust tuning parameters designed to tolerate variations in
process characteristics. You can adjust the control valve speed of response by adjusting SVi1000
parameters using ValVue tuning parameters, or using the GE DPI620. See the SVi1000 DTM help
file for details.
15. Advanced Usage
Technology to Maximize Savings and Process Performance

This section shows examples of techniques for achieving superior process results by using
ValVue with SVi1000 to simplify maintenance and to achieve the benefits of SVi1000’s advanced
diagnostics capabilities. It is assumed that you are using HART® communications with a modem
and ValVue. Refer to the ValVue SVi1000 help file for complete instructions on these and other
procedures.
Tight Shutoff Application to Protect from Seat Erosion

Program the Tight Shutoff feature to prevent valve seat erosion using the full actuator force to
eliminate damaging leakage. At a position setpoint of 2%, for example, this function allows full
thrust to occur when the input signal is less than 2%. This solves a common cause of valve
repair. Do not use tight shutoff if it is necessary to throttle the valve at very small flows.
Tight Shutoff Application to High Pressure Liquid Letdown Valve Trim

When staged trim is used in High Pressure Liquid Letdown Valves, adjust the Tight Shutoff to
move the valve from the seat to begin throttling at the minimum operable CV level. Using the
tight shut-off feature in SVi1000 prevents valve seat damage that can occur when throttling at
clearance flows. See recommended Tight Shutoff settings in Table 19. Adjust Tight shutoff using
front panel pushbuttons, with ValVue or a HART® communicator.

16. Glossary
Accuracy In a control valve the position is measured between mechanical motion limits in
the valve. These limits can include position variations due to actuator and valve
rigidity. therefore, accuracy is referenced to positions within normal travel of the
valve independent of rigidity effects at the mechanical limits. Accuracy is the
greatest deviation from the expected position within the normal travel,
expressed as percent of normal travel.
Actuator Type An actuator is a device that transforms an input signal (mainly an electrical sig-
nal) into motion. A HART® compliant actuator receives a 4 - 20 mA control cur-
rent signal and causes an actuation function. There are many types of HART®
actuators; a positioner is type of actuator. A device of type Actuator can not be
connected to a circuit intended for a device of type Transmitter.
Algorithm An algorithm is a procedure or formula for solving a problem. There are several
algorithms entailed in SVi1000 operation. The SVi1000 has a position control
algorithm that is a modified PID. Other algorithms embedded in SVi1000 include
the STOPS method for calibrating stroke, and the autoTUNE method for estab-
lishing the best parameters for the PID algorithm.
ATC Air to Close The combination of a single acting actuator and the control valve where the
valve is closed when air pressure is applied to the actuator
ATO Air to Open The combination of a single acting actuator and the control valve where the
valve is open when air pressure is applied to the actuator
Characteristic The positioner input setpoint command can be selectively modified to provide a
desired relationship between setpoint and valve position. In the valve, the rela-
tionship between stroke and Cv is also called valve inherent characteristic. It is
often adjusted by design, to equal percentage, for example. The positioner char-
acteristic is applied to modify the setpoint to travel relationship of the actuator.
The characteristic of the positioner must be chosen to compliment the valve. If
the valve is equal percentage, set the positioner to linear. If a linear valve is
installed the positioner can be set to an equal percentage characteristic to
improve flow control. SVi1000 offers an eleven point custom characteristic
option that can be created and edited in ValVue.
Closed The valve position in which the flow is minimum or zero. See Tight Shutoff.
Compliance Voltage The voltage that must be available at the control system output in
order to drive the control current through the SVi1000 and all the
resistive devices in series with it.
Conformity The closeness to which the position approaches the theoretical posi-
tion curve, for example equal percentage or quick opening. It is inde-
pendent of effects due to valve or actuator rigidity at the mechanical
limits of travel. See Accuracy.
Compliance, HART® Manufactured and tested in accordance with the HART® Communi-
cations Foundation standards.
Condition Monitoring A technology for measuring the performance of process equipment
and valves over a period of time to predict the need for maintenance.
The technology evolved to meet NRC requirements GL 89-10, and
has proven valuable to other process industries. SVi1000 and ValVue
offer a suite of diagnostic tools to implement condition monitoring.
Custom The custom characteristic in the SVi1000 has nine points to define
the relationship between the setpoint and the valve position. The Val-
Vue software allows selection of the custom characteristic that must
be downloaded as pairs of data using the HART® communications
from a HART® master. ValVue offers a graphical drag-and-drop
method to define the characteristic. It includes a method to correct
for geometric non-linearity of the positioner feedback linkage.
DCS Distributed Control System is a generic term for the common control
system architecture that generally performs process control in net-
worked computers and interacts with field devices through rack
mounted I⁄O cards. A positioner is usually connected to a DCS output
card which controls the 4- 20 mA current to the positioner.
Device Description, DD The software object installed in a HART® Handheld Communicator to
allow it to communicate and display the custom parameters avail-
able in a field device.
EEPROM An Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. SVi1000
has two memories that are used for permanent storage of data that
changes during operation. The micro-controller has EEPROM which
permanently stores changing information such as number of actua-
tor cycles and totalized valve travel. The program is stored in flash
memory and can be upgraded.
Equal Percentage A valve characteristic designed to compensate for the loss of pres-
sure in a pipeline as a control valve is opened. It is intended to linear-
ize the installed flow versus lift characteristic for improved control.
The theoretical curve is y= aexln(1⁄a), where a is.02, 1/R, and R=50 for a
50:1 equal percentage characteristic. However, the theoretical curve
leaves the valve unseated by 2% at 0% input. The actual curve,
shown here, is corrected to seat the valve at 0%. The corrected
curve is Y=(aexln(1⁄a) -a)/(1-a).
Error Messages The positioner stores the reasons for errors. The error messages can
be read by HART® or with ValVue.
Fail Safe A mode of the positioner where the valve position is controlled to a
predetermined safe position. This mode is forced by the positioner
program in response to errors. If the errors are cleared then the posi-
tioner to the mode prior to the error.
Flash Memory A computer memory that is not volatile. It stores all its data even
when the power is off. It performs high speed reads and can be
re-written many times. It is used to store programs and permanent
parameters.
FSK Frequency Shift Keying see HART® protocol.
Hall Effect Sensor A semiconductor magnetic-field sensor that measures the magnetic
flux perpendicular to the sensor.
HART® HART® is an acronym for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer.
The HART® protocol makes use of the Bell 202 Frequency Shift Key-
ing (FSK) standard to superimpose digital signals at a low level on
top of the 4-20 mA. This enables two-way communication to take
place and makes it possible for additional information beyond just
the normal process variable to be communicated to a smart field
instrument. The HART® protocol communicates without interrupting
the 4-20 mA signal and allows a host application (master) to get two
or more digital updates per second from a field device. As the digital
FSK signal is phase continuous, there is no interference with the 4-20
mA signal.
HART® Communication The HART® Communication Foundation is an independent, non-
profit foundation corporation specifically organized to coordinate
and support the application of HART® technology worldwide. Edu-
cating the industry on the capabilities and value of this important
technology is a key role.
Operating costs are offset by membership and training⁄support ser-
vice fees. Membership is open to all suppliers, end users, and others
interested in the use of HART® technology.
HART® Filter A filter required with certain DCS systems that are not HART® com-
pliant. It allows the 4 - 20 mA output signal to pass from control sys-
tem to positioner, but blocks HART® FSK tones from passing from the
field wiring to the control system.
HART® Master A device, usually a PC which is controlling the communications over
a HART protocol network. The HART® master sends to a field device
a command and requires a response.
HART® Slave A device, normally a transmitter or positioner, that communicates
over a HART® protocol network only in response to a command from
a master.
Hazardous Area The area of the plant where explosion hazards are present, hazards
such as propane gas in a refinery, or dust in a flour mill.
Hot Swapable The SVi1000 in combination with ValVue enables a very brief Mean
Time To Repair by the following process: Upload all configuration
information from installed positioner to ValVue, then replace the
positioner and download the configuration file. Run STOPS, and
autoTUNE, and the repair is complete.
I⁄P Converter The current to pressure converting device. The SVi1000 sends an
analog current signal to the I⁄P which produces a controlled pressure
to the pneumatic amplifying relay.
ISA The International Society of Automation. ISA develops and publishes
international standards for use in process control. See www.isi.org.
Multidrop A variation of the HART® Communications Protocol that allows many
smart field devices to draw power from and to communicate over a
single pair of wires. Though most suited to multiple measurement
devices, it can be used with SVi1000 to permit digital communication
of setpoint as well as configuration data, to multiple positioners or a
combination of positioners and measurement transmitters. Such
communication may not be fast enough for flow control.
Multiplexer Several instrument suppliers offer equipment that can be connected
to multiple cables to monitor and communicate with the attached
positioners and transmitters using the HART® protocol. Often the
multiplexer is used with a DCS that does not support HART®.
NAMUR NAMUR is a European user association of process control technology
in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. “Recommendations and
Worksheets are experience reports and working documents pre-
pared by NAMUR for its members among process control users for
facultative utilization”. NAMUR issued a recommended accessory
mounting for control valves (NE 14 Anschluß von Schwenkantrieben
an Armaturen 06.08.96) which describes a method for mounting a
positioner on an actuator. See at www.namur.de.
Neodymium Iron Boron A magnet alloy which provides the highest energy magnetism
available in a permanent magnet.
Non-Volatile Memory Computer memory that is not lost when power is turned off. Used to
permanently store calibration, configuration and diagnostic infor-
mation in SVi1000.
NORMAL Mode The control mode for normal use of a valve positioner. The positioner
receives a setpoint from a controller or DCS and applies pressure to
the actuator to move the valve to the required position.
PC As used in this manual, a personal computer or laptop running
under Windows XP or later operating system.
Position With a reciprocating valve, the position is the distance of the plug
from its seat, normally measured as a linear motion of the valve or
actuator stem. With a rotary valve the position is the angle of rota-
tion of the valve plug measured as angular rotation of the valve
shaft.
Position Limit The Actuator can be mechanically set to stop at a predetermined
position by setting an adjustment, sometimes with a handwheel or
screw stop. SVi1000 can be configured to provide the same limits
through software control of position.
Positioner Tuning The positioner requires six integer parameters to determine the
Parameters response of the positioner to a setpoint change. Internally, the posi-
tioner uses an improved PID control algorithm to control the valve’s
position.
Tuning Parameters
P P is a dimensionless gain factor related to the proportioning action
of the algorithm. It ranges from 0 to 5000. Common values for the
positioner are 50 for small valves up to 4000 for large valves.
I (0.1 sec): Integral time or reset time, is the time constant of integral
control. Higher values of I cause slower integral action. Common val-
ues are 10 (1 second) to 200 (20 seconds). A value of zero disables
integral action.
D (msec): Derivative time or rate time is the time constant of derivative
control expressed in milliseconds. It ranges from 0 to 200 msec.
Common values are 0 to 100. A value of zero disables derivative
action.
Beta Beta is a nonlinear dimensionless gain factor, ranging from -9 to 9.
When beta is 0, the controller gain is linear. Otherwise the gain is the
function of error. The larger the beta, the smaller the gain for small
error. Typical beta values for a valve position controller are between
–9 and 0.
Padj (%) Valves often have significantly different response when filling versus
exhausting. The proportional gain is adjusted by adding Padj to P
when the valve is exhausting. Padj is normally less than P.
Position Compensation The response of the valve is different when the valve is nearly closed
Coefficient than when the valve is nearly open. The position compensation coef-
ficient, which is a number between 0 and 9, allow the control algo-
rithm to optimize the valve response.
Damping Coefficient The valve response can be made slower for some applications. A
value of 0 gives no damping, and a value of 9 gives maximum damp-
ing of valve motion.
Dead Zone(%) When the valve position is within the setpoint +⁄- the dead zone, no
additional position control is performed. This value is normally 0%,
however for high friction valves (e.g. valves with graphite packing) a
higher dead zone helps avoid limit cycling due to the stick⁄slip action
of the valve. In these cases the dead zone chosen might be 0.2% to
1%.
Quick Opening (see Characteristic)
Relay, Pneumatic The component that amplifies the pneumatic control signals to pro-
vide a wide range of actuation pressure and to supply and vent at
high flow rates for responsive control.
Safe Area The area of a plant where there never is an explosion hazard present,
such as the control room or a wire marshalling rack area.
Sig Hi In the SVi1000 configuration, the input current setting at which the
valve is fully open (ATO) or fully closed (ATC).
Sig Lo In the SVi1000 configuration, the input current setting at which the
valve is fully closed (ATO) or fully open (ATC).
Single Acting The action of a position with a single pneumatic output for operation
with a spring return actuator.
Split Range A control configuration where a single control output is sent to two
or more control valves. Each control valve positioner is calibrated to
respond to a separate portion of the control signal. An example is a
steam valve and a cooling water valve arranged to be both closed at
50% and the steam valve to open.
STOPS The SVi1000 runs STOPS procedure to adjust the positioner to actual
valve travel. First the output pressure is reduced to zero and the posi-
tion is recorded. That position corresponds to 0%. The output pres-
sure is raised to its maximum based on supply pressure. The position
is recorded and corresponds to 100%.
Stroke The total range of valve travel. Often used as a verb to describe the
process of moving the valve.
Tag The formal designator the control valve used in control loop docu-
mentation.
Tight Shutoff (TS) A positioner property which is selected and adjusted when it is
desired to prevent operation of the valve at or near the closed posi-
tion. The positioner causes all available actuator force to be applied
to the valve seat at a position set point equal to or less than the TS
adjustable parameter. A dead band is applied to prevent cycling in
and out of this behavior.
VDE⁄VDI 3845 A Standard common in Europe for mounting positioners and acces-
sories on rotary valve actuators.
