General Information
The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, 
installing and performing maintenance as required on Valtek
®
Logix
®
3200MD digital positioners. Series 3000 is the term used for all 
the positioners herein; however, specifi c numbers indicate features 
specifi c to model (i.e., Logix 3200 indicates that the positioner has 
HART
®
protocol). See Logix 3200MD Model Number table in this
manual for a breakdown of specifi c 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, 
Maintenance instructions cover the valve (such as IOM 1 or IOM 27) 
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 exist-
ing warranties.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices must be
adhered to when working on this or any process control 
product. Specifi cally, personal protective and lifting devices 
must be used as warranted.
WARNING: Substitution of components may impair intrin-
sic safety.

Unpacking and Storage
3.1 Unpacking
1. While unpacking the Logix 3200MD 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.
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 pre-
vent 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
Division representative.
3.2 Storage
Control valve packages (a control valve and its instrumentation) 
can be safely stored in an enclosed building that affords environ-
mental protection; heating is not required. Control valve packages 
must be stored on suitable skids, not directly on the fl oor. The 
storage location must also be free from fl ooding, dust, dirt, etc.
3.3 Pre-installation Inspection
If a valve control package has been stored for more than one year, 
inspect one actuator by disassembling it per the appropriate Instal-
lation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions (IOM) prior to valve 
installation. If O-rings are out-of-round, deteriorated, or both, they 
must be replaced and the actuator rebuilt. All actuators must then 
be disassembled and inspected. If the actuator O-rings are replaced, 
complete the following steps:
1. Replace the pressure-balance plug O-rings.
