1 – General
The Smith Meter® Model 210 Digital Control Valves are hydraulically-operated,
diaphragm-controlled valves, typically used in conjunction with either an AccuLoad
or microLoad.
1.2 Installation
Ensure the valve is installed with flow in the correct direction. The intended flow
direction is indicated on the side of the valve body.
These products have been designed for petroleum applications, where corrosion/
erosion is normally minimum. The design of the pressure containing housings have
adequate material allowance for typical petroleum applications. Consult the factory
for other applications or for the actual material allowances.
1.3 Electrical
Wiring is covered in the appropriate controller manual:

MN06037 AccuLoad II (I)
MN06135 AccuLoad III (I)
MN06140 AccuLoad III.SA (I)
MN06143 AccuLoad III-N4 (I)
MN06201 AccuLoad IV (I/M)
2 – Operation
2.1 Principle
The Smith Meter® Model 210 Valve (Figure 1) fundamentally consists of a Smith
Meter® 200 Series Valve with two solenoid controls. A valve response control device,
typically a needle valve, is located between each solenoid and its respective up-
stream or downstream port. This device is used to fine tune the opening/closing rates
of the valve, as well as provide control loop isolation for easier control loop service.
Adjustment of these devices controls the flow rate to and from the cover chamber
permitting valve adjustments based on product viscosity and pressures.

Flow
The normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) solenoids, located in the
upstream and downstream portions of the control loop, respectively, control the
operation of the valve. When both solenoids are energized, high upstream pressure
is blocked from reaching the main valve cover, the pressure in the cover vents to
downstream (lower pressure), and the valve opens. Conversely, when both solenoids
are deenergized, the downstream control loop is blocked and high upstream pressure
closes the valve.
During flow, when the N.O. solenoid is energized while the N.C. solenoid is
deenergized, pressure is trapped in the cover causing the valve poppet to be
hydraulically locked in a fixed open position. Therefore, a constant flow rate is
maintained. When operating conditions change causing a change in flow rate for that
fixed valve opening, the flow controller (e.g., microLoad, or AccuLoad) signals the
appropriate solenoid to open or close momentarily, changing the valve open position,
thereby readjusting the flow rate to its set value.
When the set flow rate changes (e.g., from low flow start to high flow limit, or
during multi-step valve shutdown), the appropriate solenoids are signalled to open
and/or close until the flow rate adjusts to the new set value. When the product
delivered reaches a predetermined (field adjustable first stage trip) value in the
controller, valve closure is initiated. The flow controller signals the 210 Valve to ramp
down the flow in a multi-step manner, thus preventing line shock.

*Field programmable.
When the preset quantity is nearly reached (1-2 gallons remaining), a final trip point
(field adjustable in controller) signals the valve to close completely assuring accurate
delivery of the preset quantity. Figure 2 shows a typical truck loading flow rate
sequence.
Step 8: Preset a small batch and after high flow is reached, initiate an emergency
stop ('E' Stop). Record the volume throughput after initiation of the 'E' Stop and
observe whether there was excessive line shock. If line shock was excessive, close
the upstream solenoid isolation needle valve a little further to slow the valve closure
rate. Repeat this step until excessive line shock is eliminated.
Step 9: If possible, with all other loading positions from the pump open (lowest valve
inlet pressure), preset a small batch and run. If opening speed is not acceptable,
open the downstream solenoid isolation needle valve a little further and observe nor-
mal valve opening and closing performance, as done in Steps 6 and 7 (See Note A).
Repeat this step until acceptable opening speed is obtained.
Step 10: If closing speed is unacceptable, adjust the first stage trip value in the pre-
set counter to a value sufficient to assure reaching final step flow prior to the final
stage trip on the preset counter (See Note B).
Step 11: Conduct an 'E' Stop test as in Step 8. If the volume throughput after initia-
tion of 'E' Stop is greater than the volume left in the tank or compartment after a high
level sensor initiates an 'E' Stop (typically about twenty (20) gallons for a gasoline
transport), a decision must be made whether to speed up the valve closure and
accept some line shock at high valve inlet pressure (i.e., one load position operating),
or accept a slower than ideal valve closure on 'E' Stop at low valve inlet pressure
(i.e., all load positions operating).
Step 12: If a modulating pressure pilot was supplied on the valve, it should have
been factory set for the specified control pressure (e.g., 64A pilot set at 35 psi maxi-
mum valve outlet pressure or 23 BP pilot set at 15 psi minimum valve inlet pressure).
Open the isolation needle valve(s) on the pressure pilot loop, causing the pressure
pilot (e.g., Model 64A) to control the valve by adjusting manual valves in the system.
Slowly close the isolation needle valve upstream of the pressure pilot until stable (no
flow surging) 210 Valve operation is obtained. Using a pressure gauge, check to be
sure the pressure pilot is set to control at the desired pressure. Adjust it as required.
Notes:
A. If it is not possible to conduct Steps 9, 10, and 11 with all load positions
operating, compromise by having as many load positions as possible operating.
Then throttle the flow ahead of the meter with a manual valve until the 210 Valve
is not limiting flow i.e., not modulating). This occurs when the flow rate is less
than the high flow rate limit (set into the controller) by more than the flow control
"band width".
B. The pump should be wired to remain on for at least five (5) seconds after 'E' Stop
is initiated to assist in valve closure.
C. If the ratio between the highest and the lowest 210 Valve inlet pressure at high
flow (ie., one versus all positions operating from that pump) is greater than 2:1,
it may not be possible to obtain satisfactory valve performance under all
operating conditions. If the inlet pressure variation is extreme, no compromise
needle valve settings may be possible. The system will then have to be changed,
either by adding pumping capacity, adding a pressure reducing valve in the
common line from the pump to the loading positions, or by replacing the 210
Valves with air-operated 215 Valves, etc.
D. If it becomes necessary to use the control loop needle valves for pilot isolation
(i.e., in order to repair or replace a pilot without draining down the system),
be sure to mark their "control position" precisely to permit easy resetting after
the repair is complete.
3 – Troubleshooting Guide
The intent of this section is to illustrate proper service and provide maintenance
interval guidelines of Smith Meter® 210 digital control valves.
Caution!
Prior to any service, ensure that the line has been completely drained and power
has been removed from the solenoids. Use proper protective equipment (i.e. safety
glasses, gloves, etc.) while servicing the equipment.
If the solenoids are to be disassembled, inspect the solenoid elastomers for any
“chunking” or missing elastomer pieces. If abnormal wear is visible, the solenoid
should be rebuilt or replaced.
Figure 4 – Solenoid Elastomer Damage Example
Remove the junction box and junction box bracket.
Once the valve cover has clearance to be removed, using an open ended wrench or
socket, remove all of the cover nuts.
Figure 5 – Cover Disassembly
Caution!
The cover spring(s) could cause the cover to release from the body unexpectedly.
However, if the cover does not release from the body, use two flat headed screw-
drivers to pry down, against the body as shown below. Ensure to only insert the tip
of the screwdrivers underneath the rabbit and not to pry against the diaphragm.
Depending on valve size, there could be two springs underneath the cover – 2”
and 3” valves have one spring while 4” and 6” valves have two springs.

Figure 9 – Cover Spring Removal
Remove the stem assembly from the valve body. On the underside of the stem, note
that the stem may have a flat machined surface. This flat surface is dependent on
valve size. Some valve sizes have a nut where this flat would be (Figures 10 and 11).
Secure this flat surface or the lower stem nut in a vice as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 10 – Stem Flat Surface
Figure 11 – Stem Nut
Figure 12 – Poppet Assembly
Note: The back-up plate and diaphragm washer have a tight fit around the stem.
Ensure not to gall the threads of the stem while removing the back-up plate.
Inspect the lower diaphragm washer for any defects. If none are present, the
diaphragm washer can be left on the stem. If there are visible defects (i.e. sharp
edges, warpage, etc.), the diaphragm washer should be replaced. Use caution when
installing the washer and ensure not to gall the threads.
Place a new diaphragm O-ring around the stem. Gently roll the O-ring down the stem
until it mates with the diaphragm washer and apply a light coat of petroleum jelly to
the O-ring.
Place the new diaphragm on the stem. Use caution while pulling the diaphragm down
the threads as to not fray the diaphragm. It is recommended to install the diaphragm
so that the part number and elastomer markings are visible from the top.
Figure 18 – Diaphragm
Install a new diaphragm O-ring. Use caution while pulling the O-ring down the
threads of the stem.
Apply a light coating of petroleum jelly to the top diaphragm O-ring and the stem.
Inspect the upper diaphragm washer for any defects. If none are present, install the
diaphragm washer. If there are visible defects (i.e. sharp edges, warpage, etc.), the
diaphragm washer should be replaced. Use caution when installing the washer and
ensure not to gall the threads.
Using a fine file, dress the surfaces of the back-up plate to remove any burrs.
Using a brass bristle brush, dress the inner diameter of the back-up plate to remove
any burrs.
Apply LOCTITE® Nickel Anti-Seize 77164 on the threads of the stem before placing
the stem nut.
Secure the stem nut to the stem using a socket or open ended wrench. Tighten until
the lock washer engages against the surface of the back-up plate and the stem nut.
Then, use a torque wrench and apply the torque value as indicated in the table below
for the specific valve size:
Remove the stem assembly from the vice and install the stem into the seat of the
valve. DO NOT slide the diaphragm over the studs at this point.
Insert a pry bar into the inlet of the valve and lift up the bottom of the stem. Lift the
stem to ensure that the diaphragm does not fray against the threads of the studs
while seating the diaphragm. Gently slide the diaphragm stud holes over the studs.
Ensure not to fray or twist the inner diameter of the diaphragm stud holes. Ensure
this is done while the stem is lifted. This may require additional assistance.
If the valve is installed in the piping, manually hold the valve stem assembly so that
the diaphragm uniformly slides over the studs.
While the stem is lifted (if the valve has been removed from the piping),
install the spring(s) over the stem against the backup plate.
If the valve has one spring, install the spring over the stem. If the valve has two
springs, install the taller spring over the stem, seating the spring flat against the
backup plate noting the orientation of the starting coil of the spring. Place the shorter
spring over the taller spring, seating the spring against the backup plate. Ensure
that the shorter spring is oriented 180 degrees out of phase from the taller spring as
shown above.
With the stem still lifted (if the valve has been removed from the piping), install every
other nut until pressure can be relived from the cover. While tightening the nuts, tuck
the excess of the diaphragm under the rabbit of the cover. DO NOT cut the excess
off. This can be done by using a screwdriver or a thin flat device. Ensure not to punc-
ture the diaphragm.
Continue tightening the cover nuts by hand until they require a wrench and the rabbit
of the cover completely covers the valve body. Install the remaining nuts by hand.
As the nuts are being tightened, check for gap uniformity of the valve body and
cover. Once the nuts are snug, using a manual torque wrench tighten the nuts per
the sequence as shown in the table and diagrams below (Table 1).
