Instruction Manual

Introduction

Scope of Manual

This manual provides installation, startup, calibration, maintenance, and parts ordering information for 2506 and
2516 receiver/controllers. Figure 1 shows a 2506 receiver/controller. Figure 2 shows a 2516 receiver/controller.

A 2506/2516 receiver/controller is often used with a 2502 controller/transmitter. For information about 2502
controller/transmitters or associated equipment such as pressure regulators, sensors, accessories, or related control
devices, see the appropriate instruction manual, or contact your Emerson Process Management sales office.

Do not install, operate, or maintain a 2506/2516 receiver/controller without being fully trained and qualified in valve,
actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is

important to carefully read, understand, and follow all contents of this quick start guide, including all safety cautions
and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales

office before proceeding.

Description

See table 2.

The receiver/controllers described in this manual provide:

D Proportional‐only control: 2506 (with snap action: 2506S)

D Proportional‐plus‐reset control (2516)

D Proportional‐plus‐reset‐plus‐anti‐reset windup control (2516F)

See figures 9, 10, and 11.

The receiver/controller takes a pneumatic input signal from either a 2500 controller/transmitter or a control device.
The unit then provides a pneumatic output signal that operates a final control element.

When a 2506 receiver/controller is used to provide proportional‐only control, the pneumatic output signal from the
unit can also be piped to a remote receiving indicator or recording device. This provides a visual indication of
receiver/controller action.

The INCREASE OUTPUT PRESSURE adjustment is used to increase or decrease the output pressure in relationship to the
input pressure. Changing this adjustment changes the position of the nozzle in relationship to the beam/flapper
assembly. In turn, the amount of supply pressure released by the relay is changed and the pneumatic output signal
that operates a final control element is affected.

If a remote set point signal is used, it is piped to the remote set point connection and into remote set point bellows.
The remote signal expands the bellows and moves the beam/flapper assembly. This affects the controller output in the
same way a change in the INCREASE OUTPUT PRESSURE adjustment affects the output.

Installation

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure:

D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any installation procedures to avoid personal

injury.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this

instruction manual.

Mounting the Controller

Note

If a separate receiver/controller unit has been ordered for field installation with an existing valve/actuator assembly or 2500
controller/transmitter, additional mounting parts may be required. Find the mounting description in the parts list at the end of this
manual. Then, order any additional parts.

Actuator Yoke Mounting

See figure 4 for a typical mounting plate. Key numbers are shown in figure 5.

1. Locate the mounting plate (key 164, figure 5). Select appropriate mounting holes in the mounting plate for the
receiver/controller. Then, align the mounting holes in the mounting plate with the mounting holes in the
receiver/controller case.

2. Place the two cap screws (key 48) through the mounting plate from “back to front”. Engage the cap screw threads
in the mounting holes in the receiver/controller case and tighten the cap screws to attach the mounting plate to the
back of the receiver/controller.

3. Place cap screws (key 39) through the yoke mounting holes in the mounting plate from “front to back”. Place a
spacer (key 174) over the threads of the cap screws extending from the mounting plate to properly separate the
mounting plate and the lower yoke boss of the actuator (figure 5).

4. Attach the mounting plate with receiver/controller to the lower yoke boss of the actuator yoke. Be sure the spacers
support the mounting plate. Be sure the receiver/controller is parallel with the actuator yoke and then tighten the
cap screws into the yoke boss.

5. If supply pressure is piped through a filter/regulator, bolt the regulator directly to the upper yoke boss using the cap
screws (key 85). Provide appropriate piping from the filter/regulator output connection to the receiver/controller
supply connection.

1. Install lock washers (key 83) on the cap screws (key 39). Then, insert the cap screws through the mounting plate
from “back to front”. Place a spacer (key 174) over the threads of each cap screw as it extends from the mounting
plate. The spacers are required to properly separate the receiver/controller from the mounting plate. Then, thread
the cap screws into the mounting holes in the receiver/controller case and tighten.

2. Install lock washers (key 83) on the cap screws (key 48). Then, insert the cap screws through the mounting plate
from “front to back”. Place a spacer (key 174) over the threads of each cap screw as it extends from the mounting
plate. The spacers are required to properly separate the mounting plate from the wall mounting position. Then,
thread the cap screws into holes prepared at the wall mounting position and tighten.

3. Provide appropriate piping from the filter/regulator output connection to the receiver/controller supply
connection.

Actuator Diaphragm Case Mounting

To mount a receiver/controller to the diaphragm casing of a standard diaphragm actuator, remove two hex nuts and
hex head cap screws securing the upper and lower diaphragm casings. If necessary, refer to the appropriate actuator
instruction manual to locate the hex head cap screws and nuts.

See figure 7 for key number locations.

1. Locate the receiver/controller mounting holes in mounting bracket (key 164, figure 7).

2. Place the two cap screws (key 48) through the receiver/controller mounting plate holes from “back to front''.
Engage the threads in the receiver/controller mounting holes and tighten the cap screws to attach the mounting
plate to the back of the receiver/controller.

3. Locate the receiver/controller mounting position on the horizontal edge of the diaphragm case. A typical Fisher
diaphragm actuator features upper and lower diaphragm casings held together with hex head cap screws and hex
nuts. Remove the hex nuts from two hex head cap screws joining the upper and lower casing. Then, remove the cap
screws.

4. Engage the cap screw threads in the mounting holes in the receiver/controller case and tighten the cap screws to
attach the mounting plate to the back of the receiver/controller.

5. Place the mounting bracket over the empty casing holes. Insert the casing cap screws through the mounting
bracket, upper casing, and lower casing. Add the nuts and tighten to secure the mounting bracket with
receiver/controller to the casing.

6. If supply pressure is piped through a filter/regulator, the regulator may be attached in one of two locations:

D Attach the regulator directly to the upper yoke boss using the cap screws (key 85) for yoke mounting.

D Attach the regulator to the casing using a mounting bracket (key 177). The mounting bracket for the regulator is

the same as the mounting bracket for the receiver/controller. Follow steps 1 through 4 to mount the regulator.

7. Connect the filter/regulator output connection to the receiver/controller supply connection.

3. Attach the mounting plate with receiver/controller to a 2‐inch (nominal) pipe with pipe clamps (key 175). Each pipe
clamp includes two nuts. Tighten clamp nuts.

4. If supply pressure is piped through a filter/regulator, the regulator may be attached to the mounting plate using cap
screws (key 85), lock washers (key 84), and hex nuts (key 40).

5. Provide appropriate piping from the filter/regulator output connection to the receiver/controller supply
connection.

2500 Controller/Transmitter and 2506/2516 Receiver/Controller Mounting

If the controller/transmitter and receiver/controller are ordered simultaneously, the factory will mount them together
before shipment (figure 9). For examples of typical transmitter/receiver mounting arrangements, see figures 10
and 11.

If the receiver/controller is ordered separately for use with a 2500 controller/transmitter, it may not have the required
mounting parts. If mounting parts are required, consult the parts list under the specific mounting application.

See figure 9 for key number locations.
