The number of modules and configurations may vary with customer options. There is one LDAU for each valve being monitored. Caution: The LDAU must be installed per Installation Drawing J-51008ExS. Mount the electrical enclosure according to specific site mounting specifications or codes. Use caution not to damage the radio frequency antenna if pre installed on the electrical enclosure. The antenna is electrically isolated from earth ground and should not touch adjacent metal structures. If the RF communications model is being installed, the unit should be mounted to prevent personnel from having normal access within a 20 cm distance from the antenna. Low voltage DC power supply cables must be rated for temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees C and have a 300 volt working operating voltage. Route the low voltage DC power supply cable(s) from the ValveWatch HUB Assembly location in the non-hazardous area to the ValveWatch Local data Acquisition Unit in the hazardous area according to specific site cable routing specifications or codes. Connect power supply conductors to the LDAU according to J-51008ExS. Assure that the proper sealed cable entry glands are used. It is critical that the wiring be installed correctly. There are two power lines associated with the system. One power is dedicated to the sensor modules and the second power pair is associated with the communications power. Properly label the individual wires on both LDAU and HUB side of the field cabling. Discrete color coding and proper polarization will help assure the system is wired and working correctly the first time. The LDAU modules have reverse polarization protection. Connecting the wires incorrectly will cause no power to flow into the system. CRANE Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 17 of 34 5.1 Example Cable Length Calculations for Power Connection Cable lengths are critical for intrinsic safety.

If RF communications will be used, the cabinet shall have a cable pathway exiting the cabinet and the equipment room to an outside antenna mounting location. CRANE Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 21 of 34 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The HUB assembly can be mounted in any vertical position in the 19 in cabinet. The assembly should be mounted so that the cables from the hazardous area enter the assembly on the hazardous entry side and are at least 2 inches from non-hazardous cables in the same cabinet. The HUB Assembly may be installed upside down to orient the hazardous cable entry openings with the hazardous cable location. Mount the HUB assembly in the 19 inch cabinet with at least 4 mounting screws (not provided in the kit). If RF communications will be used for the installation, install the HUB assembly antenna according to the next procedure section now and return to this step afterwards. Attach the RJ45 Ethernet connector from the ValveWatch Ethernet module to the associated system network. The network can be a plant/platform network or a dedicated router/satellite link for remote monitoring. Connector the power cord to the IEC connector on the HUB Assembly but do not plug into the power plug at this time. AC input is protected with a replaceable fuse. The fuse is located under the IEC60320 C14 inlet connector. Recommended fuse for product is a LittleFuse, 216 Series, 5x20mm, 250VAC, from 5 to 10 Amps Rating (10 amp supplied). The DC power supply output is protected by an 6.3 amp fuse located on the DIN rail. Recommended fuse is a LittleFuse, 216 Series, 5x20mm, 250VAC, 6.3 Amp Rating. TB3-Ex is designated as the hazardous area field termination connections. From 1 to 8 valves may be connected to the HUB assembly provided that safety barriers are provided. The DC voltage shall not exceed 28 Volts DC The DC current shall not exceed 250 milliamps AC All field wiring and equipment shall have at least 500 Volt isolation to ground except earth ground terminals. Route the low voltage DC power supply cable(s) from the hazardous area located ValveWatch LDAU assemblies to the ValveWatch HUB assembly in the safe area according to local cable routing specifications or codes. Connect power supply conductors to the TB3-Ex terminals according to J-51009ExS and local field drawings. Secure the cable with cable ties. It is critical that the wiring be installed correctly. There are two power supply barriers associated with the ValveWatch system. One barrier is connected to the ValveWatch sensor modules and the second barrier is connected to the ValveWatch communications module. Properly label the individual wires on both LDAU and HUB side of the field cable(s). Plug the power cord into a local AC power outlet. With the power cord connected to the unit and the unit connected to the valve LDAU(s), plug the AC power cord into the customer power plug. 6.4 HUB Antenna Assembly Installation This section is required only if the system is being configured in RF mode • • • • • CRANE The antenna location for the Hub Assembly will be selected a safe area or Zone 2. Selection will require that the antenna be strategically located for receiving RF communications from ValveWatch LDAU assemblies. The Antenna Assembly needs to be mounted in an area equivalent to the environment of the Hub Assembly certification. The LDAU’s communicating with the HUB Assembly need to be in the same general area as the HUB Antenna. The antenna should be mounted to prevent personnel from having normal access within a 20 cm distance from the antenna. The maximum distance from a HUB Assembly antenna to a LDAU antenna should not exceed 1000 ft. The HUB Assembly Antenna cable should not exceed 100 ft. The antenna will need to be placed in close proximity to the final location of the Hub Assembly. Before mounting any RF equipment, a trained RF surveillance engineer should verify all LDAU and HUB Antenna Assembly mounting locations for RF propagation properties. An Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 22 of 34 RF survey may be required to ensure correct RF operation in a heavily populated industrial application. NOTE: The ValveWatch II system is a 2.4GHz radio. It overlaps the frequency range used for WIFI networks and microwave ovens. Any additional 2.4 GHZ networks in the general vicinity of an RF configured ValveWatch system could cause performance reduction. 7 Dynamic Pressure Transducer Installation Caution: The pressure sensors shall be installed per this installation manual and wiring diagram J-51008ExS. 7.1 Initial Equipment Check List Before going out to install any sensor, an inventory of the items needed to perform the job is always a good way to start. Below is a list of the minimum items needed to perform the task of sensor installation. Dynamic pressure sensor kit with NPT adapter, protective tube and of 50 foot cable. Thread sealant Wrench set Eye protection Gloves Cable labels 7.2 Pre Installation for Dynamic Pressure Sensor Caution: All plant procedures and documents shall be followed to ensure that the installation does not impact the functionality of the unit under test. • Perform a visual inspection of the sensor. Make sure that it does not have any physical damage to the sensor mounting face or cable. 7.3 Dynamic Pressure Mounting Locations • • CRANE The desired location of the sensor in the valve cavity depends on the fluid flowing through the valve. If the fluid is a gas, the sensor should be mounted in the upper portion of the valve. If the fluid is a liquid, the preferred location would be the bottom of the valve. It should be noted that this is only a preferred location, as the system will work with the sensor mounted in either location. The dynamic pressure transducers are installed in three potential locations: the cavity of the ESD valve, in the pipe upstream of the ESD valve, and in the pipe downstream of the ESD valve. The system requires one cavity pressure sensor for closed valve seal leak detection and at least two sensors (cavity and either upstream or downstream) for open seal leak detection. Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 23 of 34 The use of a second sensor in the upstream or downstream position will provide optimum leak detection when the valve is in the open position. Review the orientation of the tap and verify that there are no obstacles preventing the sensor from being installed into the location. Review the Unit Under Test and determine an appropriate sensor cable routing path to the LDAU enclosure. • • 7.4 Mounting the Dynamic Pressure Sensor Caution: It is strongly recommended that safety glasses and gloves be worn during this procedure. • • • • • A ¼ in to ½ in NPT adapter and protective cover tube are provided to protect the sensors from damage. This housing should be used in any location where there is a possibility that the sensor may be damaged by inadvertent contact. To use this protective housing, thread the ½ in adapter into the desired location (pipe or valve body). Next, thread the pressure sensor into the housing. Fit the protective tube over the sensor cable and then plug the sensor cable into the sensor connector. Upon securing the cable to the sensor, install the protective tube onto the adapter by sliding it over the sensor and thread it into the housing. The protective tubing can then be treaded into place. The pressure sensors are manufactured with a ¼in NPT threaded connection. They should be mounted on the ESD valve or pipe with block and bleed valves for isolation. (The block and bleed valves will allow the sensors to be safely removed without affecting the platform operation.) Apply thread sealant to the pressure sensor threads for preparation into the auxiliary tap. Screw the Dynamic Pressure sensor into the block valve housing. Using site specific procedures open the block valve and ensure there are no fluid leaks around the installation. 7.5 Dynamic Pressure Sensor Wiring • • The dynamic pressure sensor kit is provided with a cable for connecting the pressure sensor to the LDAU enclosure. Route the sensor cable(s) in site approved cable tray or tubing to the LDAU enclosure. Route the cable through an appropriate cable gland and secure. Connect the two sensor conductors and cable shield conductor as required on J-51008ExS. Connect the cable connector into the sensor connector.

One of the key parameters of ValveWatch is to monitor the actuator to valve forces. This parameter can serve as a trigger for the data acquisition circuits and more importantly to trend relative torque or thrust values during valve strokes. The sensor is designed to measure either thrust or torque depending on the orientation during installation. The strain sensor is typically installed on a load carrying, non-moving portion of the valve such as the actuator mounting yoke. It is attached using a high performance epoxy adhesive provided in the kit. The steps below outline the sensor installation. 8.1 Initial Equipment Check List Before going out to install the sensor, an inventory of the items needed to perform the job is always a good way to start. Below is a list of the minimum items needed to perform the task of sensor installation. Strain Sensor with integral wiring of 50 feet Two part epoxy pack Epoxy applicator File (rough) Sand paper (rough) Vibrating Etching tool (optional) Variable Speed Grinder (60-80 grit silicon carbide or aluminum oxide wheel) (optional) Eye protection Gloves Cable Ties (Tie Wrap) Field cable label tags CRANE Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 25 of 34 8.2 Pre Installation Strain Sensor Test Caution: The strain sensor’s Kapton mounting face is very sensitive to strain and exceptionally durable when installed but can be damaged if handled roughly prior to installation. The Kapton face mounting material also provides electrical insulation from earth ground. Do not remove the protective cap except for inspection or in preparation for installation. Do not apply unnecessary pressure or press on the sensor face during inspection or installation. • • • • Perform a visual inspection of the sensor. Make sure that it does not have any physical damage to the sensor mounting face or cable. Verify that the cable has not been damaged; there should be 50 feet of cable integral to the sensor. The sensor may be checked for electrical continuity with an ohmmeter by measuring 5000 ohms between the yellow and green wire pair as well as the brown and white wire pair. All resistances should read infinity between any insulated conductor and both the sensor metal housing or the cable shield. The cable shield and sensor housing are not electrically connected and should also read infinity. The strain sensor assembly is factory tested to assure 500 volt isolation from ground. No special installation process is required to assure ground isolation. 8.3 Strain Sensor Mounting Locations • • • • CRANE Mount the strain sensor when the valve yoke is at or above 70°F (25°C). If the valve yoke temperature is lower than this, an external heating supply such as a heat gun or heat trace must be used. For high temperature applications and non-symmetric yoke designs, the preferred mounting location is typically closer to the actuator than the valve body. This can be important for long yokes where oscillations and/or bending may occur. The sensor may sense yoke bending measurements as the actuator weight shifts at lower loads. The sensor was designed to be used for either torque or thrust. There are four mounting orientations defined for torque and four mounting orientations defined for thrust. The main reason for the four mounting locations of each is to identify the easiest sensor cable run to the LDAU enclosure box. A simple rule of thumb is to use the cable angle of the sensor to determine whether you are measuring torque or thrust. To measure torque, the cable exiting the sensor will be at a 45 degree angle with the valve stem. To measure thrust, the cable angle will be parallel or perpendicular with the valve stem. For a more detailed view of the mounting positions for the sensor, refer to J-53115ExR for Strain Sensor Field Installation. Verify that the cable tie length is sufficient for supporting the sensor during epoxy cure time. If there is not enough cable tie length, multiple cable ties may be connected together. Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 26 of 34 8.4 Preparing the Valve Yoke Surface Caution: It is strongly recommended that safety glasses and gloves be worn during this procedure. Caution: Follow site specific work permit requirements for work in an explosive environment. • There are three things to remember for successfully mounting a strain sensor every time. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. A CLEAN yoke surface, a CLEAN sensor face and repeating the cleaning process until the Lent free wipes are as clean after the process as they were when you started the cleaning process. The prepared yoke surface area should be slightly larger than the strain sensor body diameter. The area should be filed, sanded, or ground to achieve a flat (to within 1/16in), bright, baremetal, crosshatched surface finish. We recommend using a small, variable speed hand grinder at low speed (500 to 1000 rpm) with a 60 to 80 grit silicon carbide or aluminum oxide wheel. The area should be free of all paint, primer, or surface coating. Experience has shown that a vibrating etch tool works well for cleaning paint from the surface. • • Caution: The sensor must be installed within 15 minutes of sanding and cleaning. Passivation of stainless steel surface accelerates after 15 minutes. Always read and understand safety data sheets prior to using cleaning solvents. • • • • • • • • • CRANE The area should contain no significant casting lines or other such indications that have not been blended into the flat surface. The area should be essentially in the same plane over the length of the strain sensor housing. The area may be curved over the width of the strain sensor assembly. The yoke mounting area and sensor mounting face must be cleaned to be free of all grease and oily residues prior to bonding. Suggested degreasing agents are: - Denatured Alcohol - Ethyl Alcohol - Methyl Alcohol (Technical Grade) - Naphtha (Technical Grade) - Acetone Use these or other degreasers specifically approved by your company. A stronger degreaser/solvent than those listed above may be needed to remove grease and oily residue. Remove the sensor cap and use the degreaser agent to assure no oil or dirt buildup on the sensor has occurred during handling or inspection All surfaces must be dried with a lint free cloth prior to solvent evaporation. Repeat the degrease process on both surfaces just to be sure everything is clean. Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 27 of 34 8.5 Mounting the Strain Sensor Caution: It is strongly recommended that safety glasses and gloves be worn during this procedure. Within 15 minutes after the mounting location has been fully prepared, sensor installation can proceed. • The Epoxy comes in a two part packet for easy mixture. Remove the separating clip and mix the epoxy achieving a paste of uniform color and consistency. There is a 90 minute pot life for the epoxy. Apply an even layer of epoxy approximately 1/16in thick to the sensor mounting location on the yoke. Remove the protective cap. Inspect for cleanliness and damage. Light cleaning of the mounting surface area with one of the cleaning agents listed above is required if the Kapton mounting surface is contaminated with dist or grease. Apply an even layer of epoxy approximately 1/16in thick to the bottom of the strain sensor and body contact area. Cover the entire sensor face and metal lip to assure sensor bonding and long term stability. Align the sensor to one of the four available mounting positions for the type strain to be measured as shown on J-53115ExR. Firmly press the sensor into place on the yoke. Secure with the provided wire tie(s) wrapped around the yoke and over the sensor. Tighten to apply a light pressure. Verify the sensor is mounted for the desired measurement for the valve type. Adjust the angle of the sensor slowly just to tweak in the accuracy of the measurement. The more ideal the sensor is to the valve stem angle, the more accurate the readings from the sensor will be. When the sensor is positioned correctly, tighten up the tie wrap securely. A wire tie installation tool can be used for this operation to firmly compress the soft sensor mounting surface. The sensor should again be checked to ensure it was not damaged during installation. Test for electrical continuity with an ohmmeter by measuring 5000 ohms between the yellow and green wire pair and 5000 ohms between the brown and white wire pair. All resistances should read infinity between any insulated conductor and both the sensor metal housing or the cable shield. The cable shield and sensor housing are not electrically connected and should also read infinity. Allow epoxy to cure before stroking valve. The cure time is temperature dependent. The lower the temperature, the longer the cure time. • • • • • • • • • • Epoxy Cure Time Chart Temp.

This parameter can serve as a trigger for the data acquisition circuits and more importantly, to trend input pressures driving the actuator. The sensor is selected as a simple device and gives a millivolt/volt output relative to the pressures applied to the sensor. This sensor connects directly into the Strain/AC Module. Caution: Please follow all installation procedures and J-51008ExS when connecting the static pressure sensor to its associated apparatus. The static pressure sensor is typically installed on the inlet of the actuator. It is installed thru a Tee connector. The steps below outline the sensor installation.

CRANE Nuclear ValveWatch II Hardware Installation and Setup Manual Page 31 of 34 11 Equipment Cleaning Instructions Caution: Follow applicable site procedures to access and ensure that the cleaning process does not impact the plant safety or operation requirements. 11.1 LDAU Assembly Cleaning Instructions The LDAU assembly is installed in a NEMA 4 enclosure in the plant environment. Before starting any cleaning process, the DC power to the unit must be disconnected. For lose particles, vacuum and or air pressure can be used effectively to remove most typical plant type dirt. In the event that a substance adheres to the unit and/or internal components and the best approach to take is to use an isopropyl alcohol solvent on a soft clean cloth or towel to remove excess dirt on labels and exposed surfaces. It may be beneficial to attempt multiple passes and discard dirty cloths as the process advances. Once the LDAU components and area are cleaned, dry air should be blown across all components to ensure the unit is dry. A visual inspection of all interconnects should be made to ensure no disconnections have occurred during the cleaning process. Apply power to the system and perform a basic operational verification test. 11.2 HUB Assembly Cleaning Instructions The HUB Assembly is installed in rack mount cabinet space. Before starting any cleaning process, the AC power to the Unit must be disconnected. NOTE: Disconnecting AC power will disable all valves being monitored by the HUB Assembly. For lose particles, vacuum and or low air pressure can be used effectively to remove most typical plant type dirt. In the event that a substance adheres to the unit and/or internal components and the best approach to take is to use an isopropyl alcohol solvent on a soft clean cloth or towel to remove excess dirt on labels and exposed surfaces. It may be beneficial to attempt multiple passes and discard dirty cloths as the process advances. Once the Hub Assembly is cleaned, dry air should be blown across all components to ensure the unit is dry. A visual inspection of all interconnects should be made to ensure no disconnections have occurred during the cleaning process. Apply power to the system and perform a basic operational verification test once the unit is powered up. 11.3 Dynamic Pressure Sensor Cleaning Instructions The dynamic pressure sensors are attached to a block and bleed type valve that interfaces it with the main process flow. A protective housing is recommended with every sensor installation. Cleaning may be required for purposes of identification or part of a standard plant cleaning process. Do not use High Pressure or high temperature liquids as part of the cleaning process. Such use could inadvertently damage the wire and/or connections to the sensor and the LDAU. Use of water soluble detergents should be used with a cloth or sponge and rubbing effort.
