<strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> Instruction Manual<br />
Verify Wiring <strong>and</strong> Connections<br />
NOTE<br />
For split range installations there are additional constraints on<br />
the split range system: the minimum span must be 5 mA; the<br />
upper range value must be 8 mA to 20 mA; the lower range<br />
values must be 4 mA to 14 mA.<br />
Use the following procedure to ensure that the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> is properly powered:<br />
1. Connect a DC voltmeter across the input terminals.<br />
2. For an input current between 4 <strong>and</strong> 20 mA, the voltage varies between 11 V <strong>and</strong> 9 V<br />
respectively.<br />
3. Current is read from the local display or with a milliampmeter installed in series with<br />
the <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong>.<br />
4. When voltage exceeds 11 V check that the polarity is correct.<br />
5. If voltage is less than 9 V <strong>and</strong> polarity is correct, voltage compliance of current source<br />
is inadequate.<br />
6. Connect a milliampmeter in series with the current signal. Verify that the source can<br />
supply 20 mA to <strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong> input.<br />
7. If 20 mA is not attainable, see troubleshooting.<br />
NOTE<br />
Improperly or inadequately grounded installations can cause<br />
noise or instability in the control loop. The internal electronic<br />
components are isolated from ground. Grounding the case is<br />
unnecessary for functional purposes but grounding the case<br />
may be necessary to conform to local codes.<br />
Wiring Considerations<br />
For a detailed description of wiring guidelines refer to “Wiring Guidelines” on page 106 of<br />
