UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

Several applications are possible using a Type AV positioner. The
steps for installing a Type AV positioner are as follows:
Unpack and inspect the equipment.
•
Mount the positioner.
•
Connect tubing to the positioner.
•
Connect wiring to the positioner.
•
Certain installation methods will not stroke the actuator or
cylinder to a fail-safe condition if the controller fails to send
a signal. ABB strongly recommends that, for increased
safety, an installation method be selected that will provide a
fail-safe mode upon loss of controller signal.
The outlined steps are covered in sequence in this section. After
installation is complete, refer to Section 4 for calibration informa-
tion.
NOTES:
1. For application in a hazardous location, refer to ABB docu-
ment P-P88-001, Installing a Type AV Positioner in a Hazard-
ous Location.
2. Appendix B provides a quick start guide for the Type AV
positioner. It is intended for control engineers having extensive
experience in the use and application of pneumatic positioners.
The quick start guide highlights the major points of installation
and calibration. Detailed installation and calibration information
is contained in Section 3
1. Check for obvious damage to the shipping carton.
2. Open carton and remove all loose packing.
3. Carefully remove positioner from carton and inspect for any
physical damage which may have occurred during shipping.
