Operation <strong>and</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong><br />

Principle of Operation<br />

The <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> Electro Pneumatic Digital Valve Positioner receives an electrical position<br />

setpoint signal from a controller or other device <strong>and</strong> compares the position setpoint input<br />

signal to the valve position. The difference between the position setpoint <strong>and</strong> position<br />

feedback is interpreted by the position control algorithm. This is used to compute a new<br />

output pressure. This output pressure is amplified by a pneumatic relay that drives the<br />

actuator. When the valve position agrees with the value called for by the position setpoint<br />

input signal the system stabilizes with no further movement of the actuator.<br />

Input Current<br />

4 to 20 mA<br />
