To avoid possible injury to personnel or dam-
age to valve parts, WARNING and CAUTION
notes must be strictly adhered to. Modifying
this product, substituting non-factory parts, or
inferior parts, or using maintenance procedures
other than outlined could drastically affect per-
formance and be hazardous to personnel and
equipment, and may void existing warranties.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices
must be adhered to when working on this, or any
other, process control product. Specifically,
personal protective and lifting devices must be
used as warranted.
Unpacking
1. While unpacking the StarPac system, check the
packing list against the materials received. Lists
describing the system and accessories are in-
cluded in each shipping container.
2. When lifting the system from the shipping con-
tainer, position lifting straps to avoid damage to
tubing and mounted accessories. Valves up through
6-inches may be lifted by the actuator lifting ring.
On larger systems, lift unit using lifting straps or
hooks through the yoke legs and outer end of body.
WARNING: When lifting a valve/actuator as-
sembly with lifting straps, be aware the center
of gravity may be above the lifting point. There-
fore, support must be given to prevent the
valve/actuator from rotating. Failure to do so
can cause serious injury to personnel or dam-
age to nearby equipment.
3. In the event of shipping damage, contact the ship-
per immediately.
4. Should any problem arise, contact a Flowserve
representative.
INSTALLATION
Valve Installation
The StarPac Intelligent Control System valve is in-
stalled in the same manner as a conventional control
valve and according to industry standards. Refer to the
appropriate valve installation, operation, maintenance
instructions for proper installation procedures.
If the StarPac system is being installed in an insulated
process line, do not place more than four inches of
insulation around the StarPac pressure or temperature
sensors; otherwise the sensors may not operate
properly. In addition, NEVER insulate the StarPac
electronics assembly or remote-mounted temperature/
pressure sensors (when used).
CAUTION: Do not insulate the StarPac electronics
housing or remote-mounted pressure or tempera-
ture sensors; otherwise excessive heat may build
up and affect operation.
