- Hardware and Software Requirements
- Windows XP SP2, Window Server 2003 SP1 or Window Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7
- Windows Pentium or compatible microprocessor; 64 Mb RAM
- CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
- An available serial communication port or USB port
- A HART modem
- RS232/485 converter for HART Multiplexor
- 500 MB of free hard disk space to install and run ValVue
- Before Installing ValVue
- HART Compliance
- Quality current source having low noise and high impedance
- Minimum loop impedance of 250 Ohms
- Twisted pair cable suitable for 4 - 20 mA current loops
- NOTE
- You cannot connect or use ValVue and another HART master terminal device (at the same time), for example a handheld device.
- Some Distributed Control System output circuits are incompatible with the HART protocol. Connecting a HART modem to such a circuit can cause a process upset. A HART filter can be used. Consult the DCS manufacturer to verity that the DCS is compatible...
- Failure to Communicate
- Insufficient Loop Current and Voltage
- Poor wiring contacts
- Improper connection of the HART modem to the computer
- Incorrect serial port

- Normal: In this mode the SVi1000 responds to the input signal and positions the valve accordingly (indicator green).
- Manual: In this mode the valve does not respond to the input signal. Instead it remains stable in one position, which is the position that the valve was in when manual mode was entered or a new position selected by you (by changing the setpoint in th...

- Active Faults: Displays all current faults and provides current and historical information on each fault. These also appear on the individual tabs.
- General: Displays faults that cannot be attributed to SVi1000 components; e.g. instrumentation, actuator, pneumatics, electronics. General faults are often testing and data faults.
- Instrumentation: Displays all faults related to instrumentation other than the actuator, pneumatics or electronics.
- Actuator: Displays all faults related to the actuator on which the SVi1000 is mounted.
- Pneumatics: Displays all faults related to the SVi1000 pneumatics.
- Critical: Displays all faults critical to SVi1000 operations.

- Linear: Causes the valve to open proportionally with the input signal. Select this option if non linear trim is used in the valve.
- Equal % (50) and Equal % (30): Two equal percentage characterizations are available, one with R=50 and the other with R=30.
- Quick Open: The quick opening characterization is the inverse to the Equal Percentage 50% characterization curve.
- Custom: Selecting this option displays the Custom Characterization dialog to format a custom curve. The curve can have up to nine points and points in between are linearly interpolated. See “Custom Characterization” on page 233.
- Camflex %: This characterizes the valve as a Masoneilan Camflex valve with settings of Linear and Equal 50%. Figure 34 shows the characterization curves in a graphical format.

- Introduction
- Incorrect polarity connection results in an effectively closed connection.
- Consult with qualified personnel to ensure that electrical requirements for the switch are met.
- The load must be designed such that the current in the circuit is £ 1 A at all times. Some 3rd party devices, such as incandescent lamps or solenoids, require surge and back EMI protection to limit current to £ 1 A.

- Open Stop Adjustment
- 1. Enter 100 in the Open Stop Adjustment edit box.
- 2. Select Find Stops from the context menu. This calibrates the position with the full travel of the valve.
- 3. Return to Manual mode and adjust the valve to its nominal travel and note the position reading.
- 4. Return to Calibrate mode, enter the position that was measured at nominal travel into the Open Stop Adjustment edit box and select Open Stop Adjustment from the menu.

- Manual Find Stops - Allows you to set the position calibration by moving the valve full closed and full open. On very large valves, the automatic find stops routine may timeout before the valve has reached the end of travel. Manual find stops allows ...
- Open Stop Adjustment - Recomputes the position scale so that at the value entered in the open stop adjustment edit box as a percent of full stops, the position reads 100%.
- Run Auto Tune - Automatically finds appropriate PID parameters for the valve.
- Full Open - Moves the valve to full open. This command work by taking the valve out of closed loop control and send a high or low signal to the I/P.
- Full Closed - Moves the valve to full closed. This command work by taking the valve out of closed loop control and send a high or low signal to the I/P.
- Set Valve Position - Allows you to set the valve to a specific position. This is accomplished by momentarily returning to manual mode, repositioning the valve, and returning to setup mode.
- Reset to Factory Cal - Resets the signal calibration its their factory setting.
