WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before proceeding
with any Installation procedures:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury or property damage.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.

WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover
with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gases or dust to explode, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.

NOTICE
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.

Note
Solenoid valves placed between the output of a DVC6005 digital valve controller and the input to an actuator require a minimum
Cv of 0.49. Greater restrictions can affect the response of the assembly.

WARNING
Supply medium must be clean, dry, oil­free, and noncorrosive and meet the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01 or
ISO 8573-1.
Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument supply medium is not
clean, dry, oil­free, and noncorrosive. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger than 40
micrometers in diameter will suffice in most applications, further filtration down to 5 micrometer particle size is
recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis. Condensation in the air
supply should be minimized.
Check with an Emerson field office and industry instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive air or if you are
unsure about the amount of air filtration or filter maintenance.
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
D Remove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion
may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.
D Remove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
D When disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections or any pressure retaining part, natural gas will seep from the
unit and any connected equipment into the surrounding atmosphere. Personal injury or property damage may result
from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken.
Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: ensuring adequate ventilation
and the removal of any ignition sources.
D Ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed before putting this unit back into service. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

2. Connect a filter or filter regulator to the DVC6005 supply input using at least 10 mm (3/8­inch) diameter tubing.
D When using an integral mounted 67CFR filter regulator, lubricate an O­ring and insert it in the recess around the
SUPPLY connection on the digital valve controller. Attach the filter regulator to the side of the digital valve
controller. Thread a 1/4­inch socket­head pipe plug into the unused outlet on the filter regulator. This is the
standard method of mounting the filter regulator. No tubing is required.
D When using a yoke mounted 67CFR filter regulator, mount the filter regulator with two cap screws to the
pre­drilled and tapped holes in the actuator yoke. Thread a 1/4­inch socket­head pipe plug into the unused
outlet on the filter regulator. No O­ring is required.
D When using a casing mounted filter regulator, use a separate casing mounting bracket (typically provided with
the filter regulator). Attach the mounting bracket to the filter regulator and then attach this assembly to the
actuator casing. Thread a 1/4­inch socket­head pipe plug into the unused outlet on the filter regulator. No O­ring
is required.
D If the supply pressure is less than the maximum actuator and instrument pressure rating, a regulator is not
required. However, a filter is always required. Attach the filter securely to the actuator or instrument.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent
opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.
This unit vents the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere. When installing this unit in a non­hazardous
(non­classified) location in a confined area, with natural gas as the supply medium, you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re­classification.
When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and national codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re­classification.
In addition to remote venting of the unit, ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area re­classification.

3. If necessary, remove the plastic vent on the DVC6005 and install a pipe­away vent line using at least 12.7 mm
(1/2­inch) diameter tubing. The vent line must be as short as possible with a minimum number of bends and elbows
to prevent back pressure build­up.

HART Devices

Refer to the DVC6000 HW2 Instruction Manual (D103785X012), available at www.Fisher.com or from your Emerson
sales office, for additional information.

The remote mount base unit is normally powered by a control system output channel. Shielded cable will ensure
proper operation in electrically noisy environments.

Wire the remote mount base unit as follows, refer to figure 16:
1. Remove the wiring terminal box cap.
2. Bring the field wiring into the terminal box. When applicable, install conduit using local and national electrical codes
which apply to the application.
3. Connect the control system output channel positive wire to the LOOP + screw terminal in the terminal box. Connect
the control system output channel negative (or return) wire to the LOOP - screw terminal in the terminal box.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion, can result from the discharge of static electricity. Connect
a 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) ground strap between the digital valve controller and earth ground when flammable or hazardous
gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding requirements.

4. As shown in figure 16, two ground terminals are available for connecting a safety ground, earth ground, or drain
wire. The safety ground is electrically identical to the earth ground. Make connections to these terminals following

Note
Depending on the control system you are using, an HF340 HART filter may be needed to allow HART communication. The HART
filter is a passive device that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The filter is normally installed near the field wiring
terminals of the control system I/O. Its purpose is to effectively isolate the control system output from modulated HART
communication signals and raise the impedance of the control system to allow HART communication. For more information on
the description and use of the HART filter, refer to the HF340 HART filter instruction manual (D102796X012). To determine if your
system requires a HART filter refer to the DVC6000 HW2 Instruction Manual (D103785X012) or contact your Emerson sales office.

5. Screw the cap onto the terminal box until no gap remains.
6. Install the set screw (key 58) into the cap. Secure the cap by engaging the screw.
7. For applications that require a Position Transmitter or Discrete Switch (page 22) and/or a THUM Adapter (page 24),
proceed to the appropriate page. Otherwise proceed to page 27 for remote mount feedback unit wiring.

Position Transmitter or Discrete Switch

The DVC6005 HW2 HART communicating device has an optional output circuit that can be configured as a 4­20 mA
position transmitter or a discrete switch. Configuration of the output circuit requires the proper DIP switch electrical
setting on the main electronics board (figure 17) and also must be enabled with a user interface tool. The DIP switch
electrical setting is preconfigured at the factory when ordered properly.

Figure 17. OUTPUT Connections and Transmitter / Switch Settings

DIP SWITCH FOR

TRANSMITTER/SWITCH
SELECTION
OUTPUT-
OUTPUT+

X0430

X0432

The position transmitter circuit derives its operating power from the control system input channel in the same manner
as a 2­wire transmitter.

The discrete switch is a solid state circuit (1­amp maximum) which opens and closes based on a user configurable trip
point. The trip point can be based on valve travel anywhere within the calibrated travel range, or based on a device
alert. In order for the switch output to function, the digital valve controller must be powered. If power is lost, the
switch will always go to the open state. The output circuit, whether operating as a transmitter or switch, is galvanically
isolated from the position control loop circuit such that different ground references between the 2 circuits are
allowed.

Wire the OUTPUT terminals as follows (refer to figure 18):

1. Route the field wiring into the terminal box through the conduit connection.
2. When applicable, install conduit using any local and national electrical codes that apply to the connection.
3. Connect the control system input channel positive wire to the OUT (+) terminal. Connect the control system input
channel negative wire to the OUT (­) terminal.
4. Replace and hand tighten the cover on the terminal box.
5. For applications that require a THUM Adapter, proceed to page 24. Otherwise proceed to page 27 for remote
mount feedback unit wiring.

Step 4—Configure the Digital Valve Controller

WARNING
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection and
temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.
To avoid personal injury resulting from electrical shock, do not exceed maximum input voltage specified on the product
nameplate. If the input voltage specified differs, do not exceed the lowest specified maximum input voltage.
Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if this connection is attempted in a potentially
explosive atmosphere or in an area that has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere
conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cover before proceeding.
The valve may move in an unexpected direction when power is applied to the digital valve controller. To avoid personal
injury and property damage caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator
assembly when applying power to the instrument.
While configuring the digital valve controller the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To
avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the
process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
Changes to the instrument setup may cause changes in the output pressure or valve travel. Depending on the application,
these changes may upset process control, which may result in personal injury or property damage.

Note
Before proceeding, check that all pressure connections, fasteners, and plugs are installed and tightened.
Ensure that the base unit is wired to the feedback unit before providing electrical power. Failure to do so may cause the DVC6005
to go into “Pressure Control” mode if Pressure Fallback is configured. The unit can be returned to “Travel Control” mode using
Detailed Configuration.
