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.
NOTE Installations using natural gas are Zone 0 or Div 1
installations.
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.

Safety Information SVI II AP Product Safety
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.
WARNING Under certain operating conditions, the use of damaged
instruments could cause a degradation of the performance of
the system which may 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.
Use only genuine replacement parts which are provided by the manufacturer, to
guarantee that the products comply with the essential safety requirements of the
European Directives.
Changes to specifications, structure, and components used may not lead to the
revision of this manual unless such changes affect the function and performance
of the product.
