installing and performing maintenance as required on Flowserve
Valtek Logix

®

3400MD digital positioners. Series 3000 is the term

used for all the positioners herein; however, specific numbers
indicate features specific to model (i.e., Logix 3400 indicates that the
positioner has Foundation Fieldbus protocol). See Logix 3400MD
Model Number table in this manual for a breakdown of specific model
numbers. Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly
review this bulletin prior to installing, operating, or performing any
maintenance on the valve.

Separate Valtek Flow Control Products Installation, Operation,

and actuator (such as IOM 2 or IOM 31) portions of the system and
other accessories. Refer to the appropriate instructions when this
information is needed.

To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve parts,
WARNING and CAUTION notes must be strictly followed. Modifying
this product, substituting non-factory parts or using maintenance
procedures other than outlined could drastically affect performance
and be hazardous to personnel and equipment, and may void existing
warranties.

when working on this or any process control product. Specifically,

personal protective and lifting devices must be used as warranted.

Unpacking and Storage

3.1 Unpacking

1. While unpacking the Logix 3400MD positioner, check the packing

list against the materials received. Lists describing the system
and accessories are included in each shipping container.

2. When lifting the system from the shipping container, position

lifting straps to avoid damage to mounted accessories. Systems
with valves up to six inches may be lifted by actuator lifting ring.
On larger systems, lift unit using lifting straps or hooks through
the yoke legs and outer end of body.

c

WARNING: When lifting a valve/actuator assembly with lifting

straps, be aware the center of gravity may be above the lifting

point. Therefore, support must be given to prevent the valve/

actuator from rotating. Failure to do so can cause serious injury

to personnel or damage to nearby equipment.

3. In the event of shipping damage, contact the shipper immediately.

4. Should any problems arise, contact a Flowserve Flow Control

representative.

3.2 Storage

Control valve packages (a control valve and its instrumentation) can
be safely stored in an enclosed building that affords environmental
protection; heating is not required. Control valve packages must be
stored on suitable skids, not directly on the floor. The storage location
must also be free from flooding, dust, dirt, etc.

Long-Term Storage of Logix 3000 Series Positioners in

Humid Locations
The Logix 3000 series positioners are designed to operate in humid
environments when connected to a proper instrument air supply.
There are some occasions when valves and positioners are stored
at job sites or installed and commissioned and then left without
instrument air for months. To make startup easier for units that are
left without instrument air and insure that the positioners will be
ready to operate, it is recommended that the vent assembly of the
positioner be sealed preferably with a desiccant pouch sealed with the
vent assembly.
