This is a 4.5 day session. The first 2-days of the course will cover sliding stem and rotary valves and actuators. Topics will include valve and actuator setup, maintenance, repair and troubleshooting. The following 2 days will be focused on the installation, calibration of the 5000 and 6000 series digital valve controllers (DVC's) using the 275 handheld communicator. And overview of Valvelink Software will included. Students spend 50% of their time in hands-on workshops. Those who complete this course will be able to:

• correctly perform installation procedures
  
• perform basic troubleshooting
  
• change valve trim, gaskets and packing
  
• install and mount a digital valve controller
  onto a sliding stem actuator/valve and
  rotary actuator/valve
  
• configure and calibrate FIELDVUE
  Instruments with the HART Model 275
  Communicator
