Special Instructions for DVC6200f PST
DVC6200f PST instruments are identified by a FOUNDATION fieldbus label on the terminal box cover and a “PST” label
on the instrument housing.
The Partial Stroke Testing (PST) tier of the DVC6200f instrument enables a controlled ramp test while in service. The
ramp test can be configured to stop and reverse at a point such that it does not disrupt the process loop. There are no
special hardware settings on the DVC6200f PST instrument. However, partial stroke testing does require firmware
configuration settings that are available through the user interface.
Note
The DVC6200f PST instrument is not SIL rated as a safety certified device.
A typical installation of the DVC6200f PST instrument includes a separate solenoid valve to perform the shutdown
function.
