GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Installation and maintenance must be performed only by qualified personnel. Area
Classification, Protection Type, Temperature Class, Gas Group, and Ingress protection must
conform to the data indicated on the label.
Wiring and conduit must conform to all local and national codes governing the installation.
Wiring must be rated for at least 10ºC above the highest expected ambient temperature.
Approved wire seals against ingress of water and dust are required and the NPT fittings
must be sealed with tape or thread sealant in order to meet the highest level of ingress
protection.
Where the protection type depends on wiring glands, the glands must be certified for the
type of protection required.
The metal housing is a die-casting alloy which is predominately aluminum. "X" Marking is on
label.
Before powering the SVI FF positioner:
Verify that the pneumatic and electronic cover screws are tightened. This is
important to maintain the ingress protection level and the integrity of the flameproof
enclosure.
If the Installation is Intrinsically safe, then check that the proper barriers are installed
and the field wiring meets local and national codes for an IS installation. Never install
a device, which was previously installed without an intrinsically safe barrier, in an
intrinsically safe system.
If the pneumatic system is powered by a combustible gas then the installation must
be treated as Zone 0 or DIV I.
In non-incendive installation, check to ensure all electrical connections are made to
approved circuits which meet local and jurisdictional installation codes.
Verify that the markings on the label are consistent with the application.
Verify that the air supply pressure can not exceed the marking on the respective label.
