Installation
The DVC6000 SIS can be used with either air or
natural gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas
as the pneumatic supply medium, natural gas will be
used in the pneumatic output connections of the
DVC6000 SIS to any connected equipment. In normal
operation the unit will vent the supply medium into the
surrounding atmosphere unless it is remotely vented.
When using natural gas as the supply medium, in a
non-hazardous location in a confined area, remote
venting of the unit is required. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury, property damage, and area
re-classification. For hazardous locations 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, property damage, and
area re-classification.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before proceeding with any
Installation procedures:
 Always wear protective clothing,
gloves, and eyewear.
 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: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources. For information on
remote venting of this controller, refer
to page 2-22.
 If installing this into an existing
application, also refer to the
WARNING at the beginning of the
Maintenance section of this
instruction manual.
 Check with your process or
safety engineer for any additional
measures that must be taken to
protect against process media.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the
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.
WARNING
This unit vents the supply medium
into the surrounding atmosphere.
When installing this unit in a
non-hazardous (non-classified)
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 re-classification.
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 re-classification.
Vent line piping should comply with
local and regional codes and should
be as short as possible with adequate
inside diameter and few bends to
reduce case pressure buildup.
