the DVC2000 digital valve controller:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any installation procedures to avoid personal
injury or property damage.
D If installing this into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section of
this instruction manual.

Special Instructions for “Safe Use” and Installations in Hazardous Locations.
Valve / Actuator Mounting
If ordered as a part of a control valve assembly, the factory will mount the digital valve controller on the actuator and
calibrate the instrument. If you purchased the digital valve controller separately, you will need a mounting kit to
mount the digital valve controller on the actuator. The following procedures are general guidelines you should
consider when mounting the digital valve controller. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed
information on mounting the digital valve controller to a specific actuator model.
The DVC2000 housing is available in four different configurations, depending on the actuator mounting method and
threaded connection style. Figure 2‐1 shows the available configurations.
