Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Replacing the Module Base
Refer to figure 7‐2 or 7‐4 for key number locations.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting performance of the instrument, take care not to damage the module base seal or guide surface. Do not
bump or damage the bare connector pins on the PWB assembly. Damaging either the module base or guide surface may
result in material damage, which could compromise the instruments ability to maintain a pressure seal.
Note
To avoid affecting performance of the instrument, inspect the guide surface on the module and the corresponding seating area in
the housing before installing the module base assembly. These surfaces must be free of dust, dirt, scratches, and contamination.
Ensure the module base seal is in good condition. Do not reuse a damaged or worn seal.
1. Ensure the module base seal (key 237) is properly installed in the housing (key 1). Ensure the O‐ring (key 12) is in
place on the module base assembly.
2. Connect the travel sensor and terminal box cable assemblies to the PWB assembly (key 50). Orientation of the
connector is required.
3. Insert the module base (key 2) into the housing (key 1).
4. Install three socket head screws (key 38) in the module base into the housing. If not already installed, press three
retaining rings (key 154) into the module base. Evenly tighten the screws in a crisscross pattern to a final torque of
16 Nm (138 lbfin).
WARNING
Personal injury, property damage, or disruption of process control can result if the cable assemblies/wiring are damaged
when attaching the cover to the module base assembly
Ensure that the cable assemblies/wiring are positioned in the cavity of the module base so they do not get compressed or
damaged when attaching the cover to the module base assembly in step 5.
5. Attach the cover (key 43) to the module base assembly.
Submodule Maintenance
The module base of the DVC6200 contains the following submodules: I/P converter, PWB assembly, and pneumatic
relay. If problems occur, these submodules may be removed from the module base and replaced with new
submodules. After replacing a submodule, the module base may be put back into service.
CAUTION
Exercise care when performing maintenance on the module base. Reinstall the cover to protect the I/P converter and
gauges when servicing other submodules.
In order to maintain accuracy specifications, do not strike or drop the I/P converter during submodule maintenance.
