GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Using This Document
Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly
review this manual prior to installing, operating, or performing
any maintenance on the positioner.
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on Logix® 500MD+ positioners. Series 500 is the
term used for all the positioners herein; however, specific
numbers indicate features specific to model (i.e., Logix 520
indicates that the positioner has HART® protocol). See Logix
500MD+ Model Number table in this manual for a breakdown
of specific model numbers.
Separate Flow Control Products User Instructions cover the
valve, actuator, or portions of the system and other
accessories. Refer to the appropriate instructions when this
information is needed. In most cases FLOWSERVE valves,
actuators and accessories are designed for specific
applications with regard to medium, pressure and
temperature. For this reason they should not be used in other
applications without first contacting the manufacturer.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to positioner
parts, DANGER and CAUTION notes must be strictly
followed.
1.2 Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms DANGER, CAUTION and NOTE are used
in these instructions to highlight particular dangers and/or to
provide additional information on aspects that may not be
readily apparent.

NOTE: Indicates and provides additional technical
information, which may not be very obvious even to qualified
personnel.
CAUTION: Indicates that minor personal injury and/or
property damage can occur if proper precautions are not
taken.

DANGER: Indicates that death, severe personal injury
and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasized notes,
with regard to assembly, operation and maintenance and
technical documentation (e.g., in the operating instruction,
product documentation or on the product itself) is essential in
order to avoid faults, which in themselves might directly or
indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective Clothing
FLOWSERVE positioners use high pressure gas to operate.
Use eye protection when working around pressurized
equipment. Follow proper procedures for working with
natural gas if it is used.

DANGER: Standard industry safety practices must be
adhered to when working on this or any process control
product. Specifically, personal protective equipment must be
used as warranted.
1.4 Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their
training, experience, instruction and their knowledge of
relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention
regulations and operating conditions, have been authorized
by those responsible for the safety of the plant to perform the
necessary work and who can recognize and avoid possible
dangers.
In unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on FLOWSERVE products, product users and
maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this manual
prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance.
1.5 Valve and Actuator Variations
These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of all
possible product variations, nor can they provide information
for every possible example of installation, operation or
maintenance. This means that the instructions normally
include only the directions to be followed by qualified
personal where the product is being used for its defined
purpose. If there are any uncertainties in this respect
particularly in the event of missing product-related
information, clarification must be obtained via the appropriate
Flowserve sales office.
1.6 Spare Parts
Use only FLOWSERVE original spare parts. FLOWSERVE
cannot accept responsibility for any damages that occur from
using spare parts or fastening materials from other
manufactures. If FLOWSERVE products (especially sealing
materials) have been in storage for longer periods check
these for corrosion or deterioration before using these
products. See section 4 STORAGE AND UNPACKING more
information.
1.7 Service / Repair
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to products,
safety terms must be strictly adhered to. Modifying this
product, substituting non-factory parts, or using maintenance
procedures other than outlined in this instruction could
drastically affect performance and be hazardous to personnel
and equipment, and may void existing warranties.
Between actuator and valve there are moving parts. To avoid
injury FLOWSERVE provides pinch-point-protection in the
form of cover plates, especially where side-mounted
positioners are fitted. If these plates are removed for
inspection, service or repair special attention is required.
After completing work the cover plates must be refitted.
Logix 500+ positioner repair is limited to the replacement of
sub-assemblies and circuit boards with FLOWSERVE-
manufactured replacements as outlined in this manual.

DANGER: Substitution of with non-factory positioner
components may impair intrinsic safety.
CAUTION: Before products are returned to
FLOWSERVE for repair or service, FLOWSERVE must be
provided with a certificate which confirms that the product
has been decontaminated and is clean. FLOWSERVE will
not accept deliveries if a certificate has not been provided (a
form can be obtained from FLOWSERVE).
Apart from the operating instructions and the obligatory
accident prevention directives valid in the country of use, all
recognized regulations for safety and good engineering
practices must be followed.
