Quick Start Guide Basic Safety Instructions
These instructions do not make allowance for:
Contingencies and events which may arise during the installation, operation, and maintenance of the sensor.
Local safety regulations; the operator is responsible for observing these regulations, also with reference to the
installation personnel.
High Pressure
Before dismounting pneumatic lines and valves, turn off the pressure and vent the lines.
To prevent damage, make sure that all the pneumatics connections are made correctly.
Electrical Risks
Before working on the sensor, switch off the power supply and prevent reactivation.
Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for electrical equipment.
Hazardous Situation
To avoid injury, ensure:
That the system cannot be activated unintentionally.
Installation and maintenance may be carried out by authorized technicians only.
After an interruption in the power or pneumatic supply, ensure that the process will be restarted in a defined
and controlled manner.
The sensor must be operated according to the operating instructions
Warning:
Do not connect or disconnect while circuit is live unless location is know to be non-hazardous.
The Safety Lock device must be used with M12 and 7/8" electrical connections for use in Hazardous Area Class
1, Division 2. Substitution of components may impair suitability for class I, division 2.

Saunders® I-VUE Basic Installation Guide
1) Screw magnetic target into actuator indicator. Use
threadlocking adhesive (if required)
2) Unscrew sensor electronics module from
sensor mounting base via the 3 screws
3) Mount sensor mounting base to actuator via
the 2 screws
7
Tools Required:
Philips or Flat head screwdriver
8 mm open ended spanner
Spanner to suit air fittings
Low strength threadlock adhesive (recommended)
Thread sealing compound for pneumatic fittings (if required)
For actuators that require a mounting
kit. Please contact Saunders for the
relevant installation procedure

Saunders® I-VUE Basic Installation Guide
4) Re-attach sensor electronics module to the sensor
mounting base via the 3 screws
5) Connect any air fittings and tube to the actuator
(and I-VUE solenoid if integral solenoid is fitted)
Note: Supply pressure not to exceed 8 bar (116 PSI)
8
6) Connect power supply and switch ON
When the sensor is turned on, it performs a
self-check (the Smart Window LED’s
illuminate and LEDs flash). After the self-
check the LEDs indicate the valve position
and the display will show the partial count
number if the factory settings for the sensor
are unchanged.

Saunders® I-VUE Hazardous Area Installation
The Saunders® I-VUE is suitable for use in Hazardous Areas, Class I, Division 2
The Saunders® I-VUE cannot be installed in hazardous areas without a safety lock to
prevent the connection or disconnection of the power supply/command cable with the
power source connected.
The use of a safety lock allows the monitor to be installed in hazardous areas , Division I,
Class 2 , that prevents the disconnection without a proper tool to open the lock.
The use of the Saunders® I-VUE in hazardous areas without the safety lock device
fitted, is prohibited due to the potential of spark generation, when connecting or
disconnecting the power supply/ command cable with the power source connected.
Safety Lock
The safety lock is available for M12 or 7/8" connectors. This lock has a warning that
alerts the operator to not connect or disconnect the power supply / command cable
when the power source is connected.
IMPORTANT! All units installed in hazardous areas Class I, Division 2 must be fitted
with the safety lock device.

Saunders® I-VUE Forcing the Integral Solenoid
The integral solenoid can be forced in the following
ways:
1) Pulsed –By depressing and releasing the
manual override button on the solenoid.
2) Locked-Off –By depressing the manual override
button on the solenoid and turning it a quarter
turn (90°) with a screwdriver. To unlock rotate
back by 90°
Care should be taken not to inadvertently depress the manual
override button on the solenoid when working around the I-VUE
3) I-VUE Software –By holding the black N side
of the magnetic key over N1 until the smart
window reads “FORCED”. To un-force the
solenoid hold the black N side of the magnetic
key over N1 until normal operation resumes.
