1. Do not stand in front of safety valve outlet while the safety valve is being tested or
operating.
2. Be sure to put on earplugs while the safety valve is being tested or operating.
3. Never attempt to look through the valve outlet carelessly during adjustment or
valve seat leakage test.
4. Never install the safety valve horizontally, i.e., the valve inlet centerline shall be
vertical with base of valve facing down.
5. Be sure to lead the drain piping to safe place from the safety valve should a
connection be provided.
6. Secure a proper space at the circumference of safety valve, to allow the accessing
in 360, plus another space at the upper side, to allow the disassembling for test
or maintenance.
7. When removing the safety valve from the equipment, make sure that the internal
pressure is fully relieved, make it a rule to stand at a safe position, and put on the
proper protective clothes, and safety glasses as the residual fluid may be splashed,
onto your body.
8. Be sure to put on the test gag if provided always during ring adjustment. After
testing, the gag must be removed.
9. For the safety valve provided with a lift lever, attach such valve with its lever
located at a proper position, so that the lever should not be pulled up accidentally.
10. Keep the discharge port of the back pressure adjustment needle pointed in the
direction free of danger. If possible, it is desirable to connect the discharge port to
the discharge pipe if it is not subject to excessive back pressure. Consult with
FUKUI for suggestions and recommendations. Do not attempt to execute
excessively long piping for this discharge connection.

(1) Don't perform rough unpacking, rough handling or sharp impact, if not so, the
main parts of safety valve are damaged or subjected to shock, the centering will
be out of alignment, resulting in unsatisfactory operation and seat leakage.
(2) When unpacked safety valves (open type) are transfered to the site, special care
should be taken not to hook the part of which function and adjustments could
be interfered with (i.e. lifting lever, inside of york, etc.,) by use of a rope, a
hook or the like because they are subjected to malfunction. Never rope or hook
the spring to lift.
(1) Since safety valves are, in many cases, delivered at several months prior to
installation, the protective plates should never be removed just before the safety
valves are installed on the site or perfomed the acceptance test, and they should
be stored in the clean room to be free of dirts and low humidity condition.
In the cases there are very long period before the safety valves are installed on
the equipment after acceptance test, reinstall the protective plates on both inlet
and outlet flanges of the safety valves, and then store them as above mentioned.
(2) Safety valves should not be piled up along with other products and should
always be kept with the inlet down.
2 InstaIIation
(2) If foreign materials are in the internal of the nozzle seat, that should be removed
by using a cloth or blown away by compressed air. Accumulation of foreign
materials in safety valve inlet ports will be carried across the seat (i.e. between
disc and nozzle seat) while the valve is in operation and is frequently the cause
of seat leakage.
(3) A safety valve should be directly installed on the inlet pipe in the vertical
position only. Otherwise, if the center axis of the moving parts is put out of
alignment, which will affect the valve performance. Normal tolerance on
vertical installation is 1.
(4) When a flanged valve is installed, ensure that a gasket size perfectly matches
the flange size, not to reduce the valve inlet and outlet port area. Also, the
flange bolts must be fastened eavenly.
(1) Just before installing a safety valve, the protective fitting on inlet and outlet
shall be removed. And also, particularly in case of a newly installed boiler or
vessel, there are many possibilities of spatter, slag produced at the time of
welding, dust, rust and other foreign matters being present inside, therefore such
boiler or equipment including pipe line should be cleaned as thoroughly as
possible before the safety valve is installed.
(2) Inlet pipings on boiler and or vessel to be fitted with a safety valve must be
made as short in length as possible, and then its inlet pipe entrance (diameter is
D) must be rounded to a radius as large as possible (at least 1/4 D) and its inner
diameter must be larger than inlet size of safety valve, the pressure loss of
safety valve's upstream should not be exceeded 2 of set pressure.
(3) Safety valves should be installed at least eight and more pipe diameters down
stream from any bend or any regulator valve in a pipe line.
(4) The space for maintenance working in Fig.1 must be kept as sufficient as
possible to work for adjusting and/or maintenance of safety valves.
(5) For 4 inches and larger safety valve, it facilitate to provided a hanger hook
at upper of it, for working, installing, removing and disassembling a safety
(1) The size of the discharge piping should never be less than the valve outlet size,
and its pipe line while having large curved section, should be led to out door,
and then the arrangement should also be as short as possible. In case where
discharge piping is longer inevitably, use a straight pipe as possible and increase
its nominal diameter by 1/2 to 1 inch for every 5 meter of pipe length from
standard position.
(2) The distance from the center of safety valve to the center of discharge pipe shall
be limited to a valve less than or equal to 4(four) outside diameter of discharge
elbow.
(3) Where more than one discharge pipe are required to be connected to common
main line, the converging angle should be kept at 45or less and the area of the
main line not be less than the combined area of the discharge pipes.
(4) An exclusive expansion joint for the discharge line should be installed so that it
will not impose undue stress or bad effect on the safety valve when considering
thermal expansion of a boiler, a vessel or a discharge pipe. And then, the
discharge piping to insert to the drip pan of expansion joint should be anchored
to support the building structure as not to press the drip pan.
(5) For safety valve in the steam line, due to discharge drain water which is
condensed during blow off, ample provision for drain shall be made in the valve
body or in its outlet piping and this drain should be piped to a safe discharge
area. And also provide a drain pipe for the drip pan of expantion joint.
Upon completion of the pressure test, keep this test plug with care in the
specified accessories box, for reuse at the time of periodic inspection.
When conducting a pressure test at a pressure lower than the valve set pressure,
it may be carried out using a test gag alone without using this test plug. On the
other hand, however, to perform a test at a pressure above the set pressure, be
sure to use the test plug. For safety valves delivered with a test plug attached, it
is pre-loaded and therefore tightening the test gag slightly is good enough.
Furthermore, when testing safety valves for set pressure adjustment purposes,
take care not to hook the test gag before a boiler is ignited (namely, when the
boiler is cold). If the spindle is not in a state of being freely expandable in
accordance with changes in temperature, it may be caused to bend or other
internal parts damaged.
In case where two or three safety valves are installed on equipment, fasten the test
gags of all valves other than a blocking and adjusting valve at 70 to 80 of the set
pressure. (The test gags are fastened lightly using fingers to prevent bending of the
valve spindle.) For the order, the test gag of lower set pressure valves is fastened in
advance usually.
When they have passed some months after the safety valves were installed on the
equipments, that are considered that forein matters enter in that and adhere to main
parts. Therefore that are recommend that the safety valves are disassembled and
main parts are maintain at just before the field setting. This procedure shall be
refered to Item 4.9.
All of the safety valves have been adjusted accurately by us at our works with steam
pressure so that there will be no need of further adjustments. In case that further
adjustment is required, remove the cap, and adjust in the steps as followings.

JIS B 8210-1994 mentioned above also specifies the closing pressure tolerances for
steam-service safety valves as shown in the next table. The tolerance for closing
pressure exceeding 0.3MPa(3 f/cm2) of steam-service safety valves that are to be
used in once-through boilers, reheaters, piping, etc. can be determined as 10 of set
pressure or less.
Notes:
1) Blowdown for steam-service safety valves shall be differential pressure between
blow-off pressure and closing pressure.
2) The value in parentheses can be used if agreed between the parties concerned.

Whenever leaking is observed at less than normal operating pressure, find out its
cause as soon as possible and it must be removed. If as it is while long times, the
damage of safety valve will become greater.
5. Maintenance
Carry out the most proper service and repair to taking a knowledge of the condition
of safety valve so that the safe, reliable operation of all valve products is kept.
Proper maintenance manual are recommended as follows.
5.1 Removal
Firstly, be sure that there is no pressure in the vessel and remove a safety valve from
vessel, next transfer it in a clean room and perform next procedure.
In case where a safety valve is disassembled at near place of the vessel or boiler due
to weld with inlet pipe on the vessel and or difficulty of transportation of the valve,
it is recommended to provide of small boxes and to put small parts of valve into
these boxes. This manner is effective method of prevention of confusion with parts
of other valves, loss and dropping.
Pull out the disc from the guide. Pay special attention
this time not to cause damage to the disc and nozzle
seat surface.
Remove the upper and lower lock bolt. Then put the
matching marks on the ring or record the number of
notches moved, to facilitate the reassembly.
How to Record
Upper ring
Record the number of notches moved by turning the upper
ring upwards (i.e. clockwise viewed from outlet side of
valve) until it reaches the dead end.
Lower ring
Record the number of notches moved by turning the lower
ring upwards (i.e. clockwise viewed from outlet side of
valve) until it reaches the dead end.
For checking or maintaining of the valve inner parts such as only lapping of
disc and nozzle seat, or replacement of the disc only, if its disassembly is
carried out in following order, it can be done very easily without readjusting
the set pressure. Procedure to remove cap is the same as above mentioned(1).
At once, remove spindle nut and lifting washer from spindle, to insert a pipe
or nut (these are a little larger dia. than spindle) in the space between lifting
washer and upper end of adjusting screw. And then screw down spindle nut
and lifting washer.
Make matching mark in axial line on both flange yoke and body and then
remove the nuts that connect yoke to the body, lift up the yoke block consist of
sprin, spring washers and spindle slowly in perpendicular direction. In this
case, take care not to bend spindle to hit the other.
Thereafter, follow (5) and (6) in Item 1. Disassembly For Overall described
above.
5.3 Checking
Check all the parts disassembled one by one. Particularly, the following items are
important.

(6)Corroded Spring
If spring is corroded or has a crack, it is recommended that spring should be
examined by means of magnetic particle test if possible or liquid penetrant test.
If its defect is large as like that spring is considered to broken it during the
operation, replace its spring with spare parts.
5.4 Lapping
In a majority of cases, the parts which a safety valve lapping are required are
surfaces of disc and nozzle seat. As a result of to done with most carefully, lapping
may be accomplished easily.
If the parts are damaged as like that can not reconditioning by means of lapping, this
parts should be exchanged with spare parts.
(1)Lapping Precaution
During the lapping of nozzle seat and disc seat it should be done in clean
environment, free of dirt and dust, observing the following instructions.
The valve disc, nozzle seat and the lapping tools should be cleaned off. (i.e.
free of dirt and dust)
Always use a fresh compound mixed to the proper hardness, and apply a
very thin layer of compound the block, and then the lapping should be
done. Applying too much compounds tends to round off the both edges of
the seat and form a mountain shape.
Perform the lapping of each surface of disc and nozzle seat while keeping
them holizontally.
To determine if the surfaces of disc or nozzle seat are sufficiently flat, the
ample exprience is necessary. As for handy method an optical light is
emplyed. When light is on the lapping surface, the concave parts on the
surface appears like shadow in contrast to the bright parts. Therefore, the
lapping work is considered to be finished when such shadowed spots have
disappeared to present a uniform surface has been attained.
The surface of the block should be reconditioned at timely. When a
appearance of the surface where is defaced by means of lapping the disc or
seat is different from the other areas and or the sufficiently flat is not felt
by put a finger on, recondition the surface of the block.
Fig.10(2)
Next, lap again using the compound #1200 mixed with oil by means of
above mentioned procedure. Use the proper block for medium lapping as
possible.
The final finishing lapping is done applying the compound #3000. If oil
content on the lapping surface is small, the lapping face may cause to stick
on the block. To avoid this, be careful to keep that oil film is remained at
all times on the lapping block while the lapping work is done. Use the
proper block for the final finishing as possible.
5.5 Cleaning
It is dessirous the valve disc and nozzle seat which have been lapped and other parts
which have been repaired be cleaned carfully with a washing liquid as like trichlene,
thinner and or etc..
5.6 Reassembly
(3)If the matchmark have been disappeared and or the records of orignal position of
adjusting ring have been lost, provisionally set and adjust by means of procedure
discribed below.
Measure and record the height from the nozzle seat to the upper edge
surface of valve guide as shown in Fig.10, Dimmension B.
Determine the height from bottom line of upper adjusting ring to the upper
edge surface of guide by the following formula. Refer to Fig.14.
A=B+2
(equivalent to about 28 to 52 notches, depending upon the valve sizes)
And then provisionally reinstall the upper adjusting ring at this
position and start the adjusting.
Lower the top of lower adjusting by 0.4 (equivalent to about 7 to 10
notches, depending upon the valve sizes) from the upper level of the
nozzle seat to downward. And then make sure this height from the top of
lower adjusting ring to upper engaging surface is 0.4 larger than
Dimension B when to measure the B value.
Fig.14
If it becomes necessary to change the revised set pressure from the value specified
on the nameplate, the spring must be replaced. Since spring has great influence on
the performance of a safety valve, springs that fit for the revised set pressure are
designed. Therefore, any change in the set pressure, please contact with us (i.e.
manufacturer) and then make sure the spring to be replaced is appropriate for
revised pressure. In replacing spring, both upper and lower spring washer should be
replaced simultaneously since they need to fit for the spring. It is necessary to
restamped on the nameplate or to replaced with new name plate.
6 Spare Parts
As regards the safety valve spare parts, it is necessary to store the proper quantities
of the requested spare parts depending upon the used condition. In maintenance for
safety valve, if enough quantities of spare parts are not stored and then it becomes
necessary to repair or to replace the parts, it may be required to shut down the
operation of the equipment for a long time or to make expediently repairs,
considerable amount of loss may be happened. Usually, the spare parts are springs
including upper and lower spring washer, discs and nozzles seat. It is recommended
to store the parts which may be corroded as spare parts at all times. Furthermore,
although spring and discs as spare parts exactly fit in specified condition, these parts
shall be not used for other than appropriate safety valves even if the size and the set
pressure is available. When ordering spare parts, please inform us (manufacturer)
the part name, and serial number size and set pressure which are stamped on the
nameplate of safety valve required.

1 In the water level gauge sent out from our factory, there is a balance kept
between the bolt tightening force and the gas tightness of each part by the
hydraulic test under the ordinary temperature. Therefore, when the pressure and
temperature are raised from the ordinary conditions along with the boiler
pressure increase, take care to avoid a rapid pressure and temperature
application to the water level gauge.
2 In operation and in pressure raise, use caution to find out leakage. Give a
tightening to the bolt and nut of the part where any leakage occurs.
Also after the pressure is raised to the specified value, check for any leakage.
Even if there is no leakage, give a slight tightening to each bolt of the water
level gauge.
3 At the start-up of the boiler, repeat water blowing until clean water is
recognized so that the good conditions for the water level gauge will be kept in
the boiler system.
During operation, expect when the water is polluted, water blowing is not
desirable so far as the water level is fluctuating.
4 When the boiler is in operation, always make a leakage check and give a
tightening when necessary.
Thus, parts consumption must be minimized.
4 Maintenance
After the lapse of the service life, the prism surface of the reflex type gauge glass
wears out and loses reflectivity and as a result the water level becomes invisible.
As the gauge and sheet packing are damaged, it becomes impossible to stop leakage
with tightening of the water level gauge bolts and nuts.
In such a case, disassemble the water level gauge and replace the worn-out parts in
the following procedure.
1 Detach the water level gauge from the upper and lower cocks.
Disassemble the water level gauge preferably when it is still in hot condition
(this will facilitate the removal of the packing).
2 Place the water level gauge on a working bench, loosen the bolts and nuts and
remove the cover.
3 As the gauge glass is sticking to the level gauge body through packing, slightly
rap the side with wooden hammer to remove the glass.
If this disassembly is made in an early time, the gauge glass may be re-used if
only the packing are replaced.
4 Remove the packing carefully not to damage the gas tightness of the water
level gauge body (the surface of contact with the packing).
Clean out the residual dirt.
For the Construct of the water level gauge, the above procedure is to be Reversed
Follow the below instructions, referring to Figure A.
1 Attach the sheet packing to the gas tight surface of the water level gauge, using
the following precautions:
2 Be sure to apply graphite paste to both sides of the sheet packing.
It will facilitate the removal of the packing when gauge is disassembled.
3 As the sheet packing is hollowed out in the center part, it is likely to deform to
narrow the cut-out area.
4 When the packing is placed, care should be take to keep the specified level
gauge window area.
5 On the sheet packing, place the gauge glass with the prism side directed
toward the liquid chamber.
6 Then, attach the cushion packing to the gauge cover and connect the gauge
cover to the gauge glass.
For setting the gauge cover, set the U-bolt at the center to fix the cover
temporarily and then set the other U-bolts.
As there is some allowance between the gauge glass and glass groove, carefully
center the cover, gauge glass, and water level gauge body.
7 For tightening the bolts and nuts, follow the instructions of Item 4-2.
Troubles such as gauge glass breakage and early-time leakage from the gauge glass
in boiler operation are said to be, in most cases, caused by uneven tightening of bolts
and nuts in construct of the level gauge.
This means that the tightening of the bolts and nuts is the most important of various
water level gauge maintenance works.
Follow the below instructions:
1 Note that the water level gauge contains glass-ware and it belongs to delicate
measuring instruments.
Therefore, the tightening of the bolts and nuts must be made with the utmost
care.
2 Set all the bolts and nuts hand-tight with an even torque. It is important to
tighten them suitably to the extent that leakage can be prevented. Avoid uneven
tightening.
3 Tightening is to be repeated several times with light hand motion as follows:
For the first and second tightening, follow the numerical order given in the
below sketch (the order from the center to the ends).
For the third and fourth tightening, reverse the numerical order (i.e. from the
ends to the center).
4 For the fifth and sixth tightening, again follow the numerical order (i.e. from
the center to the ends).
5 In the last tightening, leave some tightening allowance by saving the hand force.
If any leakage is found after the level gauge has been placed in service, give an
additional tightening in the manner specified above.
6 In reassembly, too strong tightening can cause the gauge cover to bend or cause
the gauge glass to break due to pressure application heat expansion in service.
7 In the last tightening, take case so that the tightening torque of the uppermost
and lowermost bolts (4 bolts) will be kept at half the torque of the other
intermediate bolts.
The reason is that, as seen in the sketch, the uppermost and lowermost bolts (4
bolts) are located outside the gauge glass and, therefore, too strong tightening
may cause the glass ends to break when the gauge is placed in service.
When the inside surfaces of the sleeve packing wear out with the cock plug opening
and closing motion, leakage will occur from the cover nut or tightening nut (shown
in Figure B).
In such a case, give an additional tightening or replace the packing in accordance
with the following instructions:
1 Tighten the tightening nut.
The sleeve packing will be pressed toward the cock plug so as to recover the
gas tightness and stop the leakage.
2 Even time when leakage is found, immediately give an additional tightening.
3 If such an additional tightening cannot stop the leakage, it indicates the loss of
elasticity of the packing.
Replace the sleeve packing, following the below procedure:
4 Remove the handle, tightening nut and cover nut.
5 Extract the cock plug toward the handle side.
If it cannot be extracted by hand, apply an iron bar of about 10mm in length to
the bottom of the cock plug and rap the bar to extract it out.
6 Then, apply the sleeve packing replacing tool (shown in Figure C) to the
bottom of the packing.
Rap out the packing toward the handle side.
7 For insertion of new sleeve packing, use the sleeve packing replacing tool and
drive the packing into the cock body from the handle side.
8 Put the packing boss just in the groove of the cock body and insert the packing
so that the periphery of the packing will be located at the position 11mm deep
from the cock body periphery.
9 Mount the cover nut, and keep a clearance of about 1mm between the cover nut
and cock body.
10 Then, the cock plug is inserted.
Apply the iron bar to the bottom of the cock and drive in.
11 Mount the cover nut and tightening nut.
12 Mount the handling.
13 Make an air (or water) passage test.
When the cap nut tightening cannot stop the leakage from the gauge cock and level
gauge connecting part, replace the gland packing, following the below instructions:
1 Remove the upper and lower cap nuts and packing gland, and push up the
gland packing.
2 Disconnect the lower lead pipe from the lower cock, and extract the upper lead
pipe.
3 Smash the gland packing with use of a chisel, and remove them completely.
Clean the stuffing box.
4 Drive in new gland packing to the position just lower than the specified
position of the upper lead pipe.
Then, plunge the upper lead pipe into the upper cock.
5 Gland packing must be replaced every time when the water level gauge is
disassembled.
However, copper packing can be re-used after they are annealed.
6 Then, carefully drive the gland packing into the stuffing box and mount the
packing gland and upper cap nut.
7 Tighten the cap nuts of lower and upper.
At periodical maintenance, disassemble the water level gauge and carry out the
replacement of consumables and the cleaning of the gas (water) passage holes.
Apply graphite paste to each threaded part before construct.
Check the gas tight surface of the water level gauge for any distortion or erosion.
When necessary, repair or replace them.

Introduction
This transmitter offers a range of functions that assist in the measurement of
differential pressure. A differential pressure sensor is mounted on a composite,
semiconductor sensor for the transmission of flow rate, pressure, and liquid level
data.
A composite semiconductor sensor includes a static pressure sensor and a
temperature sensor for the measurement of changes in static pressure and ambient
temperature. These changes can affect accurate differential pressure measurement.
By measuring static pressure and ambient temperature data, the transmitter
compares the measured differential pressure against a true differential pressure,
stored in memory. The sensors are installed in the meter body along with a
multiplexer, an A/D converter, a microprocessor in the transmitter unit, various
storage devices, and a D/A converter.
Flow rate, pressure, and liquid level of the process fluid are transmitted to the
differential pressure sensor on the composite semiconductor chip, in the meter body.
The sensor output is converted from analogue to digital signals simultaneously with
the temperature and static pressure that are sensed with the temperature sensor and
the static pressure sensor, mounted on the composite semiconductor sensor.
The A/D converted signals are processed in the microprocessor, and output (after
conversion to 4 ~ 20 mA DC analogue signals corresponding to the set range.)
PROM : The data stored in this memory includes the input/output, temperature,
and static pressure characteristics of the meter body, the model, and
the valid range of range settings.
EEPROM : This is a non-volatile memory that retains various setting data of the
transmitter even during the power-off state.
A/D : This converter converts analogue signals to digital signals.
D/A : This converter converts digital signals to analogue signals.
Introduction
This transmitter consists mainly of a terminal board, an electronics module, a
transmitter unit case, an indicator, and a center body.
Center body :
Consists of a composite semiconductor sensor, a pressure diaphragm, an
excessive pressure protection mechanism, etc.
Bolt & nut : Fixing the center body between covers, are a series of bolts and nuts.
Electronics module :
Consists of electronic circuits having functions for processing differential
pressure and other signals, and transmitting them.
Transmitter unit case : Houses the electronics module and the terminal board.

1 General Description
1-1 Scope
This manual contains the instructions for top-guided single-seated control valves
(model AGVB/AGVM).
For the valve positioner instructions, refer to the following Operators Manuals:
Each control valve comprises two major components a valve body and an actuator.
Combinations of valve body and actuator sizes, pressure ratings, types of materials,
and actuator sizes are selectable according to process requirements.
1-3 Structures
The valve body is connected to the bonnet by stud bolts and nuts. Gaskets mounted
between body and bonnet act as a seal for the internal fluid, making the valve body a
pressure vessel.
The valve plug is supported by the guide bushing and driven by the actuator. The
multi-spring actuator and a diaphragm convert the pneumatic control signal into a
mechanical control action that positions the valve plug.
2 Installation
The diaphragm case has a pair of eyebolts for lifting the valve. The allowable
maximum lifting loads are shown in Table 2-1, so before moving the valve check
that the total weight of the control valve (including accessories) is less than the total
allowable maximum lifting load of the eyebolts.
NOTE
When lifting a CV3000 Alphaplus by its eyebolts, please use extreme
care to prevent shock to either actuator or valve body.
1 Before installing the valve, remove scales, welding chips or any other
contaminants from both upstream and downstream sides of the process pipe.
2 Confirm that the direction of process fluid flow conforms to the arrowhead
mark on the valve body.
3 Ensure that the pipe connection gaskets do not intrude the process pipe.
Gasket materials suitable for the process fluid must be selected with care.
4 Ensure that excessive stress is not transferred from the process pipe to the valve
body. Uniformly tighten the bolts on the process pipe connection flanges.
5 Before connecting pneumatic pipes to the actuator and positioner, blow through
the pipes to clean them.
6 Do not install any heating or cooling equipment on the bonnet.
3-1 Inspection
1 Apply air pressure to the actuator so that the valve position pointer is at 10% to
20% over fully closed position.
2 Loosen the clamping bolts on of the stem connector and remove it. Detach the
actuator stem from the valve stem.
3 Remove the yoke clamping unit.
4 Raise the actuator to detach it from the valve body.
Caution
1 Before detaching the actuator from a valve that has already been
installed on the process pipe, be sure to shut down the process and
release the process pressure.
2 Ensure that the valve body is cool before detaching.
3 Loosen all process piping bolt and nuts so that excessive stress is
not transferred to the eyebolts when detaching the control valve from
the process pipe.
To disassemble or assemble the valve body, refer to Figures 4-2 through 4-4 and
proceed as described below.
Disassembly Procedure
1 Loosen the hex nuts on the packing flange.
2 Remove the hex nuts (1) on the bonnet.
3 Raise and detach the bonnet from the valve body.
4 A seat ring is threaded in to the valve body. To remove the seat ring special
tools (available as an options) are required.
Caution
If the valve plug comes out together with the bonnet, remove the plug
from the bonnet by rotating the plug. When doing this, be careful not to
damage the valve stem.
Inspection
Inspect the disassembled parts for damage before assembly. If any damage is found,
replace the parts. When ordering parts, refer to the PROD. No. of the valve indicated
on the nameplate.
1 Do not reuse the gland packing once it has been removed, but use new packing
when reassembling the valve. In case of vacuum service, verify the gland
packing composition as shown in Fig. 2-1.
2 Check that the seating surfaces of the plug and seat ring are not damaged.
3 Check that the gasket-contacting surfaces of valve body and bonnet are not
damaged. Do not reuse the same gasket, but use a new gasket when
reassembling the valve.
4 Check that the plug guide section, the stem, and the internal guiding sections of
the guide bushing are not damaged.
Assembly Procedure
1 Securely fasten the seat ring onto the threaded valve body, using the special
(optional) tools. For the tightening torque, see Table 4-1. Apply lubricant
Neverseize to the threaded sections, except for oil free valves.
2 Place the plug on the seat ring.
3 Put the bonnet on the valve body and check that the bonnet is properly mated
with the indented section of the valve body. Tighten the nuts alternately and
evenly. For the tightening torque, see Table 4-2.
4 Insert the gland packing as shown in Figure 2-1.
Note: When yarn packing sheets are used, overlap the sheets so that their cut ends
are alternately positioned.
5 Install the packing follower and packing flange, and tighten the nuts. For the
tightening torques, see Table 2-2.
6 Check that the external O-Ring of the packing follower is installed to the bonnet
gland box.

diaphragm case (reverse action).
3 Lower the valve seat and check that it comes into contact with the valve seat.
A. Direct Action models
4 Apply the maximum air pressure to the actuator corresponding to the spring
range indicated on the nameplate.
5 Increase the air pressure to the supply pressure and check that the actuator
stem responds by moving 1 to 2 mm. This movement represents the stroke
allowance.
6 Decrease the air pressure once. Then increase it again to the maximum value
corresponding to the spring range, in the increasing direction.
7 In the above state, align the actuator stem and valve stem on a straight line,
adjust so that the thread of the stem connector mates with those of the
actuator stem and valve stem, and securely tighten the clamping bolts of the
stem connector. (See Figure 5-1.)
B. Reverse Action models
4 Apply the minimum air pressure to the actuator corresponding to the spring
range indicated on the nameplate, and check that the actuator stem moves by
1 to 2 mm in response.
5 Increase the air pressure once. Then decrease it again to the minimum value
corresponding to the spring range, in the decreasing direction.

1 Introduction
There are two types of SVP, the integral type and the remote. For each type there are
three models each having different communication functions.
Integral type
Model AVP300: Analog signal (4 to 20 mA DC) without travel transmission
Model AVP301: Analog signal (4 to 20 mA DC) with travel transmission
Model AVP302: HART communication protocol model
Remote type
Model AVP200: Analog signal (4 to 20 mA DC) without travel transmission
Model AVP201: Analog signal (4 to 20 mA DC) with travel transmission
Model AVP202: HART communication protocol model
This figure shows the structure of a system in which the SVP position transmission
function is not used.
Analog output
This figure shows an example of the structure of a system in which the position is
output as a 4-20 mA DC analog signal.
In this system, the analog signal from the SVP is directly output to the host
monitoring system.
DE protocol
This figure shows the structure of a system in which the position detected by the
SVP, the values of the SVP settings, and the results of self diagnostics are output in
the DE (Digital Enhancement) protocol*, which is a protocol for transmission of
digital signals.
In this system structure, the digital signals in the DE protocol* transmitted from the
SVP are output to a monitoring system that can directly input these signals.
CAUTION
If the STIM II is used and the position transmission output signal from the SVP is
output as PV value, set the valve forcibly closed (SHUT OFF) value to -0.2% or
higher so that the position signal STI point PV value is not taken to be BadPV.
This figure shows the structure of a system in which the position detected by the
SVP, the values of the SVP settings, and the results of self diagnostics are output in
the HART communication protocol.
1-3 Communication
There are three ways to communicate with the SVP: manually, using a Smart Field
Communicator (SFC) or using a HART communicator.
Manual communication
Yamatake Model SFC160/260 Smart Field Communicators can be used for all
configuration, calibration and maintenance of the SVP. SVP-specific communicator
functions are documented fully in this manual. See the SFC Smart Field
Communicator Manual to learn more about the SFC.
Emerson Electric HART communicator model 275 can be used for all
configuration, calibration and maintenance of model AVP302/202 SVP-specific
communicator functions are documented fully in this manual. See the HART
communicator manual to learn more about the HART communicator.

2 Installation
Note The vibration conditions for this equipment is stipulated for the vibration
at the positioner.
Yamatake Smart Valve Positioners are designed for use in combination with a
control valve that uses a direct- or reverse-acting or rotary actuator. The main SVP
unit weighs about 2.5kg. It should be attached in the same way you would attach a
conventional current-pneumatic positioner.
CAUTION
Do not install the SVP near a large transformer, high-frequency furnace, or other
equipment that generates a magnetic field. Unexpected operation can result.
Incorrect settings can reduce the SVPs effectiveness and cause damage to or
failure of the SVP.
When installing a control valve, provide adequate clearance around the valve for
maintenance (piping, wiring, and adjustment), and verify that the valve is
oriented correctly.
Transport the SVP in its original packing to as close to the point of installation
as possible.
Do not apply excessive force to the feedback lever or bend the feedback pin
when installing the valve.
Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely on the SVP and control valve.
WARNING
To avoid physical injury, use caution when attaching the SVP:
Be aware of sharp edges, such as the threaded edges of the terminal box cover
and any sharp edges on the unit.
The type and size of the actuator and the SVP settings determine the type of
mounting plate to be used. If you ordered your SVP with the actuator type
specified, then the SVP should come with the proper mounting kit, and the
correct actuator settings should already be programmed into the SVP. The Auto-
Setup program is then used to calibrate the SVP.
Procedure
Step Procedure
1 The SVP comes with an actuator mounting kit appropriate to your
control valve and actuator. Fasten the mounting plate to the SVP
securely, using the two hexagon head bolts and spring washers provided.
2 Fasten the SVP (mounting plate) securely to the actuators mounting
structure using the bolts and washers provided. During this operation,
pass the actuators feedback pin through the slot in the SVP feedback
lever.
3 For the SVP remote type (model AVP200/201/202), refer to 2-3:
Installing a remote type SVP (model AVP200/201/202) on page 19.
Note For the installation of the actuators, refer to the assembly diagram inside
the package.
Examples
The following points must be observed when connecting the SVP feedback lever
and the feedback pin on the actuator. These parts must be connected correctly.
(1) Only a 6 mm diameter pin may be used.
(2) The pin must be caught between the guide and the spring.
(3) The angle between the feedback lever and the pin must be 90when seen from
above.
(4) Assemble the feedback lever and the SVP using the two hex socket bolts
provided. The feedback lever rotates up to 20form the horizontal (40travel).
If this limit is exceeded, then the SVP will not operate properly.
(5) For large actuators, use the included feedback lever extension.
The SVP has a nozzle flapper structure at the rear of the main unit. The SVP is
designed so that the nozzle flapper structure can be accessed by removing the pilot
relay cover at the back of the main unit when cleaning the flapper and adjusting the
EPM balance.
When designing mounting bracket, consider the adequate clearance to remove the
pilot relay cover for maintenance.
Clean and dry supply air ensures long-term stability of the SVP.
The air supply must be clean; it should not contain foreign substances (moisture, oil,
or dust). The air must be dry, with a dew point at least 10 {18F} lower than the
SVPs lowest site operating temperature. For example, if the lowest environmental
temperature the SVP is exposed to is 0 {32F}, then supply air should not
condense at temperatures under -10{14F}.
Pressure regulator with 3m or better filter must be installed between the air supply
and the SVP as close as possible to the SVP unit. The Pressure regulator with filter.
Shutoff Valve
This valve is used to temporarily shut off air supply to the SVP.
The shutoff valve enables disconnection of the SVP from the control valve for
ease of maintenance.
CAUTION
While connecting and disconnecting any wiring and disassembly of the travel
detector, make sure that no water or foreign objects enter the travel detector
assembly or SVP conduits as this may adversely affect operation.
Periodically tighten the waterproof gland and pressure-resistant packing type
cable adaptor. Failure to do so may allow rainwater to enter the equipment and
cause malfunctions.
The cable cannot be removed from the position detector unit. However, the
waterproof gland or pressure-resistant packing type cable adaptor can be
removed.
Before attaching the valve travel detector to an actuator, you can change the
mounting direction of the feedback lever.
(1) Loosen the feedback lever hex bolt until the feedback lever can be removed.
(2) Remove the feedback lever.
(3) Rotate the position sensor shaft 180.
(4) Reattach the feedback lever to the position sensor shaft and tighten the feedback
lever hex bolt, making sure that the tip of the feedback lever hex bolt is
touching the flat side of the position sensor shaft at a right angle.
Note Do not loosen the two hex socket bolts that fasten the position sensor to the
valve travel detector housing.
Fasten the SVP to a 2-inch pole where it will be free of vibration in excess of 2G
(400 Hz).
CAUTION
When attaching an air pressure regulator to the SVP, make sure the regulator air
vent is facing down to prevent the entry of rain.
Note for cable wiring between travel detector and SVP main unit
When connecting the cable between the valve travel detector and SVP, consider the
full operation area needed for the valve and the maximum safety of the Remote SVP
and personnel.
Avoid a situation where the valve travel detector or SVP weighs directly on the
cable. If this cannot be avoided, take steps such as attaching the cable to a
column support.
When you pull the cable upward, do not pull it directly upward. First pull
downward then pull it up.
You must follow the electrical devices technical standards for the cable
construction.
The length of cable between the remote-type AVPs valve travel detector and the
positioner body can be cut to any length and then adjusted.
Adjustment of the length of the cable requires the use of Yamatakes proprietary
tool and must be carried out by an experienced Yamatake service person. Be sure
to contact Yamatake before adjusting the cable length.
Reversing relay
(1) Remote the dust plug from the output air connection.
(2) Screw the relay air connection of the reversing relay into the output air
connection on top of the SVP.
Note Sealing tape is preferable to solid or liquid sealants for pipe joints to SVP
air connections. Prevent sealing tape/sealant from entering pipes.
Note Make sure that the air piping connections and air pressure ranges as
inscribed on the bottom of the reversing relay match your SVP.
Installing a double-acting SVP with a KZ03 air pressure regulator with filter
A KZ03 air pressure regulator with filter has two output air connections. Connect
one of the output air connections to the supply air connection on the SVP. Connect
the other output air connection on the KZ03 to the supply air connection on the
reversing relay using sealing tape.
Using a T-connector, connect the air supply from the regulator and filter to both the
SVP supply air connection and the supply air connection on the reversing relay
using sealing tape. Make sure to connect only one regulator to an SVP and reversing
relay combination.
Step Procedure
1 Remove the dust plug from the output air connection on SVP.
2 Connect the joint to the air output connection using sealing tape.
Note Completely flash pipes before use, checking for burrs and
other problems.
Use the right length of piping avoid access lengths.
4 Check for leaks after installation.
Reverse-Acting Actuator
Connect OUT1 of the reversing relay to the bottom actuator air port.
Connect OUT2 of the reversing relay to the top actuator air port.
Direct-Acting Actuator
Connect OUT1 of the reversing relay to the top actuator air port.
Connect OUT2 of the reversing relay to the bottom actuator air port.
Note If the actual air piping is different than described above, the functions of
the SVP as a positioner will not be affected. However, various valve and
SVP diagnostics usually performed with the SFC will not return accurate
information. To utilize the capabilities of the SVP to the fullest, piping
should match the diagrams and instructions above to maintain the
relationship between the parameter settings described throughout this user
manual.
