SVI II AP Product Safety
The SVI II AP digital valve positioner is intended for use with industrial compressed air or
natural gas systems only.
Ensure that an adequate pressure relief provision is installed when the application of system
supply pressure could cause peripheral equipment to malfunction. Installation must be in
accordance with local and national compressed air and instrumentation codes.
General installation, maintenance or replacement
Products must be installed in compliance with all local and national codes and
standards by qualified personnel using safe site work practices. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) must be used per safe site work practices.
Ensure proper use of fall protection when working at heights, per safe site work
practices. Use appropriate safety equipment and practices to prevent the dropping of
tools or equipment during installation.
Under normal operation, compressed supply gas is vented from the SVI II AP to the
surrounding area, and may require additional precautions or specialized installations.
Intrinsically Safe Installation
Products certified as explosion proof or flame proof equipment or for use in intrinsically safe
installations MUST BE:
Installed, put into service, used and maintained in compliance with national and local
regulations and in accordance with the recommendations contained in the relevant
standards concerning potentially explosive atmospheres.
Used only in situations that comply with the certification conditions shown in this
document and after verification of their compatibility with the zone of intended use
and the permitted maximum ambient temperature.
Installed, put into service and maintained by qualified and competent professionals
who have undergone suitable training for instrumentation used in areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres.

WARNING Before using these products with fluids/compressed gases other
than air or for non-industrial applications, consult the factory. This
product is not intended for use in life support systems.
Under certain operating conditions, the use of damaged
instruments could cause a degradation of the performance of the
system, which can lead to personal injury or death.
Under certain operating conditions the SVI II AP High Flow unit
can produce noise levels greater than 85 dBA. Perform proper site
monitoring and testing to verify the need for engineering or
administrative controls to eliminate or reduce hazardous noise
levels.
Installation in poorly ventilated confined areas, with any potential
of gases other than oxygen being present, can lead to a risk of
personnel asphyxiation.
