3-1. Auto-setup
Auto-setup is a unique program for automatically making various positioner adjustments.
After installing your SVP, Auto-setup should be performed. The travel switch on the SVP
provides non-interactive closed and open valve position setting.
The following valve actuator characteristics are automatically detected during Auto-setup:
Zero-span adjustment
(However, as a default, the span point is taken to be 10% of the overstroke. If a span
adjustment is performed after auto-setup completes, change the overstroke value and save
the change value.)
Actuator operation setup
Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range value (URV) of Input signal
If actuator operation is reverse operation: LRV = 4 mA, URV = 20 mA
If actuator operation is direct operation: LRV = 20 mA, URV = 4 mA
Actuator size setting
Hysteresis setting
(Hysteresis of ground packing is selected out of LIGHT, MEDIUM and HEAVY.)
Valve assembly calibration
If you specified the type of actuator your SVP will be installed on, then the required overtravel
for tight shut-off will have been programmed into your SVP. The required overtravel for tight
shut-off is the maximum shut off less 1%. If you didn’t specify the type of actuator, and you
are using a non-Azbil Corporation actuator, then please refer to page 4-11 for instructions
on how to enter the actuator type using a Commstaff. Tight shut-off requires the proper
overtravel setting.
WARNING
While Auto-setup is running, the valve will cycle from open to closed. Take appropriate
measures to prevent injury to personnel and adverse effects on the process.
It is recommended that Auto-setup and initial calibration of your SVP be performed using
the travel switch on the SVP.
You may also use a portable communicator to initiate Auto-setup and initial calibration.
Because Auto-Setup and Zero-Span calibration must be observed for accurate valve
positioning, these two steps will typically be performed by the travel switch. Other functions
including loop test, valve travel inquiry, split-ranging and tag number assignment require a
Commstaff.
