Installation and Set Up
Installing the SVI II AP Remote Position Sensor
An option that is available for the SVI II AP is the Remote Position Sensor. The Remote
Position Sensor is a remotely mounted position-sensing device, that is connected
electrically to an SVI II AP digital valve positioner. It is used as position feedback in
applications where direct mounting of an SVI II AP to a valve actuator is not practical
due, typically but not limited to, extreme vibration, heat or radiation.
The Remote Position Sensor is a potentiometer located in an enclosure which can be
mounted on a valve or damper to indicate stem position when connected to a suitable
receiver. There is a three wire connection provided on a screw terminal block to
interconnect to the receiving device.
The SVI II AP Remote Position Sensor is suitable for installation indoors and outdoors
in an industrial environment. Mounting kits are provided to permit mounting on a variety
of valves.
