Inductive Load<br />

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

Switch Settings<br />

The two digital output switches can be opened or closed in response to conditions that<br />

the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> detects. These conditions are:<br />

0. Always Normal Position - the switch is not controlled by the <strong>SVI</strong><br />

<strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> <strong>and</strong> remains in its default position<br />

1. Failsafe - the switch is activated when the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> is in failsafe<br />

mode<br />

2. Reset - the switch is activated whenever a reset has occurred<br />

<strong>and</strong> the switch remains activated until the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> status is<br />

cleared<br />

3. Position Error - the switch is activated whenever a position error<br />

has occurred <strong>and</strong> is deactivated when the position recovers to<br />

the correct position<br />

4. Tight Shutoff Active - the switch is activated whenever the<br />

device is in tight shutoff (tight shutoff is on <strong>and</strong> the valve position<br />

is less than the tight shutoff position)<br />

5. Position Low Limit - the switch is activated whenever the valve<br />

position is less than the position setting of this switch control<br />

6. Position Upper Limit - the switch is activated whenever the<br />

valve position is greater than the position setting of this switch<br />

control<br />

7. Manual Mode - the switch is activated whenever the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> is<br />

in manual mode, configure mode, calibrate mode, or diagnostic<br />

mode.<br />

NOTE<br />

The contacts are OPEN when the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> is unpowered<br />

<strong>and</strong> may be made to be open or closed when the flag is<br />

asserted after boot.<br />

Inductive Load<br />

An inductive load (such as an inc<strong>and</strong>escent lamp) draws a surge current of as much as<br />

20 times the rated current of the lamp as the filament heats up. The switch current<br />

capacity is adequate to drive typical inc<strong>and</strong>escent loads (such as annunciator panel<br />

lamps) but a 25 Watt lamp may damage the switch. An inductive load such as a<br />

solenoid valve or relay discharges the energy stored in the coil when it is on into the<br />

switch when the coil is turned off. The switch has adequate capacity to absorb the<br />

energy from a typical low power air solenoid or control relay. Using the switch to operate<br />

a large capacity motor controller may damage the switch.<br />
