Integral Mounting to Fisher GX

Integral mounting to the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system is a streamlined approach, optimizing performance by directly attaching the DVC6200; This integration minimizes linkage, reducing potential for error and enhancing responsiveness. The procedure involves securing the DVC6200 to the GX actuator using specified hardware, ensuring proper alignment for accurate valve positioning. Detailed steps include connecting pneumatic lines and calibrating the DVC6200 to the GX system. This configuration provides a compact and efficient control solution. Reference the quick start guide (D103556X012) for general mounting guidelines and ensure you consult Fisher documentation to properly mount the DVC6200 to the Fisher GX.

Window Mounting to Fisher Rotary Actuators

Window mounting the DVC6200 to Fisher rotary actuators provides a versatile solution for controlling rotary valves. This method uses a mounting bracket attached to the actuator, creating a “window” for the DVC6200 to interact with the valve stem. Proper alignment is critical for accurate valve positioning and control. The process involves securing the bracket, connecting the DVC6200 linkage to the valve stem, and calibrating the system. Ensure the linkage moves freely throughout the valve’s range of motion. Follow the detailed instructions provided with the mounting kit, paying close attention to torque specifications. Reference the quick start guide (D103556X012) for general mounting guidelines.

Sliding Stem Actuators

Mounting the DVC6200 on sliding stem actuators requires careful attention to ensure proper alignment and feedback. The DVC6200 utilizes a magnetic assembly for linkageless, non-contacting position measurement. Accurate positioning is essential for optimal performance. The process involves attaching the DVC6200 to the actuator yoke, connecting the feedback linkage to the valve stem, and calibrating the system. Ensure the linkage moves smoothly throughout the valve’s entire stroke. Refer to specific mounting instructions for your actuator model, as fasteners and brackets may vary. Avoid using magnetic tools near the magnet assembly to prevent interference. Reference document D103556X012 for general mounting guidelines. Correct installation guarantees precise valve control.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of the Fisher DVC6200 digital valve controller. Key maintenance tasks include inspecting air supply lines for leaks and blockages, cleaning or replacing air filters to maintain proper pneumatic performance. Check the feedback linkage for wear, damage, or misalignment. Periodically verify the calibration of the DVC6200 using ValveLink software to ensure accurate valve positioning. Address any diagnostic alerts promptly. Pay attention to the condition of the housing and replace any damaged components. Keep the instrument clean and free from debris. Document all maintenance activities. Following these maintenance procedures extends the lifespan of the DVC6200.
