CAUTION
The products described in this document are NOT designed for nuclear-qualified applications. Using non-nuclear qualified products in applications that require nuclear-qualified hardware or products may cause inaccurate readings.

Description

The Type 846 or Model 3311 current-to-pressure transducer, shown in figure 1-1, accepts an electrical input signal and produces a proportional pneumatic output. Typically, 4 to 20 mA is converted to 0.2 to
1.0 bar (3 to 15 psi). Models are available in direct or reverse action and field-selectable full or split range inputs. See Section 3 Calibration for more information on input/output combinations.
The most common application of the transducer is to receive an electrical signal from a controller and produce a pneumatic output for operating a control valve actuator or positioner. The Type 846 and Model 3311 may also be used to transduce a signal for a pneumatic receiving instrument.

Transducer
network. The self-correcting ability provided by the sensor/circuit combination allows the transducer to produce a very stable and responsive output signal.
All active mechanical and electrical components of the Type 846 and Model 3311 are incorporated into a single, field-replaceable module called the module final assembly, shown in figure 1-2. The module final assembly contains the electronic circuit board, pilot/actuator assembly, and booster stage. The module final assembly is easily removed by unscrewing the module cover. Its design minimizes parts and reduces the time required for repair and troubleshooting.
The terminal compartment and module compartment are separated by a sealed compartment wall. This multi-compartment housing also protects the electronics from contaminants and moisture in the supply air.
The Type 846 and Model 3311 are electronic I/P transducers. They have a single electronic circuit board, as shown in figure 1-2. The circuit contains a solid-state pressure sensor that monitors output pressure and is part of an electronic feedback

Installation
Section 2 Installation2-2-
This section presents information on installing the Type 846 and Model 3311 current-to-pressure transducer. Figures 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 can be used as references for instructions contained in this section.
When a control valve is ordered with a Type 846 or Model 3311 transducer specified to be mounted on the actuator, the factory-mounted transducer is connected to the actuator with the necessary tubing and calibrated to the specifications on the order.
If the transducer is purchased separately for mounting on a control valve already in service, all the necessary mounting parts are furnished, if ordered. This includes the appropriate bracket for attaching the unit to an actuator boss (with tapped holes) or for attaching it to the diaphragm casing.
If preferred, mounting parts can be supplied for mounting the transducer on a 2-inch (51 mm) diameter pipestand, a flat surface, or a bulkhead.
Transducers also can be ordered separately for mounting on a control valve assembly already in service. The transducer may be ordered with or without mounting parts. Mounting parts include the appropriate bracket and bolts for attaching the unit to an actuator boss (with tapped holes) or for attaching it to the diaphragm casing.

Mounting

The transducer is designed for mounting on a control valve, 2-inch (51 mm) diameter pipestand, wall, or panel. Figures 2-2, 2-3 and 2-4 show recommended mounting configurations. The mounting positions shown allow any moisture buildup in the terminal compartment to drain to the signal wire conduit entrance. Any moisture in the pilot stage area will be expelled through the stroke port without affecting pilot stage operation. In applications with excessive moisture in the supply air, vertical mounting allows the most effective drainage through the stroke port.
Mounting is accomplished with an optional universal mounting bracket. Before mounting the transducer, note the following recommendations:
D Ensure that all bolts are fully tightened. The
recommended torque is 22 NSm (16 lbfSft).
D Bolts that connect to the transducer and to a valve actuator should have the lock washer placed directly beneath the bolt head and the flat washer placed between the lock washer and bracket. All other bolts should have the lock washer next to the nut, and the flat washer placed between the lock washer and bracket.
D Do not mount the transducer in a location where foreign material may cover the stroke port or exhaust port. See the descriptions of the stroke port and exhaust port later in this section.

Pressure Connections

As shown in figure 2-1, all pressure connections are 1/4-18 NPT female connections. Use 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) outside diameter tubing for the supply and output connections.
Supply Pressure
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the supply medium is not clean, dry, oil-free, or non-corrosive gas. Industry instrument air quality standards describe acceptable dirt, oil, and moisture content. Due to the variability in nature of the problems these influences can have on pneumatic equipment, Fisher Controls has no technical basis to recommend the level of filtration equipment required to prevent performance degradation of pneumatic equipment. A filter or filter regulator capable of removing particles 40 microns in diameter should suffice for most applications. Use of suitable filtration equipment and the establishment of a maintenance cycle to monitor its operations is recommended.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or expolsion. Do not operate transducers with the CENELEC flameproof options at a supply pressure in excess of 1.4 bar

(20 psi). Doing so invalidates the CENELEC flameproof certifications and could allow flames to spread from the unit potentially igniting and causing an explosion.
The supply medium must be clean, dry air or noncorrosive gas that meets the requirements of ISA Standard S7.3-1975. An output span of 0.2 to
1.0 bar (3 to 15 psi) requires a nominal supply pressure of 1.4 bar (20 psi) and a flow capacity not less than 0.11 m3/min (4 SCFM). For multirange performance units with higher output spans, the supply pressure should be at least 0.2 bar (3 psi) greater than the maximum calibrated output pressure.
The air supply line can be connected to the 1/4–18 NPT supply port, or to the supply port of a filter-regulator mounted directly to the transducer.
Figures 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 show all the installation options.
The mounting boss for the air supply connection contains two 5/16–18 UNC tapped holes that are 2-1/4 inches apart. The tapped holes allow direct connection (integral mount) of a Type 67CFR filter-regulator, if desired. When the filter-regulator is factory mounted, the mounting hardware consists of two 5/16–18 x 3-1/2 inch stainless steel bolts and one O-ring. When the filter-regulator is field mounted, the mounting hardware consists of two 5/16–18 x 3-1/2 inch stainless steel bolts, two spacers (which may or may not be required) and two O-rings (of which only one will fit correctly into the housing O-ring groove and the other may be discarded). This is due to the fact that the current housing has been slightly modified from its original design, hence, the additional hardware (if needed) when field mounting the Type 67CFR filter-regulator.

Electrical Connections

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or explosion. In explosive atmospheres, remove power and shut off the air supply to the I/P unit before attempting to remove the terminal compartment cover or module cover. Failure to do so could result in an electrical spark or explosion.
Personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process. Unscrewing the module cover removes power from the electronics and the output signal will be 0.0 psi. Before removing the module cover, ensure the process is properly controlled.
CAUTION
Excessive current can damage the transducer. Do not connect an input current of more than 100 mA to the transducer.
Signal wiring is brought to the terminal compartment through a 1/2–14 NPT housing conduit connection, shown in figure 2-1. Where condensate is common, use a conduit drip leg to help reduce liquid buildup in the terminal compartment and avoid shorting of the input signal. Electrical connections are made at the terminal block. An internal grounding lug is provided to facilitate a separate ground when required. As shown in figure 2-4, units with CENELEC certification also have an external earthing
connection. The use of shielded cable will ensure proper operation in electrically noisy environments.
Connect the positive signal lead to the positive terminal, marked +. Connect the negative signal lead to the negative terminal, marked –.
Note
Units with the Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) option may cause interference with the analog output signal from some instrumentation systems. This problem may be solved by placing a 0.2 microfarad capacitor or a HART filter across the output terminals.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from an uncontrolled process. Unscrewing the module cover removes power from the electronics and the output signal will be 0.0 psi. Before removing the module cover, ensure the process is properly controlled.

Stroke Port

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas. During normal operation, supply air is vented to the atmosphere through the stroke port in the module cover and exhaust port (located under the nameplate). If a flammable gas is used as the supply air, the area into which it is vented must be classified as a Division I hazardous area. Adding a remote vent to the stroke port is not sufficient to permit safe operation in a hazardous area.
The constant bleed of supply air from the pilot stage is directed out the stroke port, which is a screened hole located at the center of the module cover. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the stroke port. Before installing the transducer, ensure the stroke
2–7
Type 846 and Model 3311
port is clear. Do not mount the transducer in a location where foreign material may cover the stroke port. For information on using the stroke port, refer to Section 5 – Troubleshooting.

Exhaust Port

The transducer exhausts through a screened port located beneath the instrument nameplate. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the exhaust port. The nameplate holds the screen in place. Exhaust will occur with a reduction in output pressure. The transducer should not be mounted in a location where foreign material may clog the exhaust port.

Signal Interruption

Upon loss of input current, or if input current decreases below 3.3 0.3 mA, the output of the direct action unit will decrease to less than 0.1 bar (1 psi).

Section 3 Calibration3-3-
Calibration of the Type 846 and Model 3311 requires either an accurate current generator or an accurate voltage generator with a precision 250-ohm, 1/2-watt resistor. Figure 3-1 shows how to connect either device.
Calibration also requires a precision output indicator and a minimum nonsurging air supply of 5.0 Normal m3/hr (3 SCFM) at 1.4 bar (20 psi) for standard performance units. For multirange performance units, the air supply must be at least 0.2 bar (3 psi) greater than the maximum calibrated output pressure, up to 2.4 bar (35 psi) maximum.
For ease of calibration, the output load volume, including the output tubing and output indicator, should be a minimum of 33 cm3 (2 cubic inches). Review the information under Signal Interruption in Section 2 before beginning the calibration procedure.

Table 3-1 lists the various input and output ranges over which the unit may be calibrated.
The input range is selected by changing the position of a jumper located on the electronic circuit board.
Refer to Electronic Circuit Board in Section 6, and figure 6-5 for the location and instruction on placement.
CAUTION
Excessive current can damage the transducer. Do not connect an input current of more than 100 mA to the transducer.

Standard Performance: Full Range Input, Direct Action

Use the following procedure to achieve a standard
0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psi) output span for a 4 to 20 mA input signal:
1. Remove the module final assembly from the housing. Refer to Removing the Module Final Assembly in Section 6 for an explanation of how to disengage the module final assembly.
2. Confirm that the unit is direct acting. A green electronic circuit board identifies direct-acting units. Refer to Action under the heading Electronic Circuit Board in Section 6 for more information on direct acting units.
3. Position the range jumper in the Hi position for High Range. Figure 6-5 shows the circuit board jumper positions.

Transporting the Module Final
Assembly
The transducer allows the module final assembly to
be removed while the housing is in its installed
position. In the event the transducer does not
function properly, an operational module final
assembly can be taken to the field and exchanged
with the nonfunctional module.
After the transducer is calibrated in the shop, the
module final assembly can be removed from the
housing. At the time the span and zero screws
disengage, there will be minimal effect on the
calibrated span. The calibrated module can now be
taken to the field. Ensure that the span and zero
potentiometers are not moved from their calibrated
positions.

Principle of Operation
Section 4 Principle of Operation4-4-
The following paragraphs describe the functional parts of the Type 846 and Model 3311. Figure 4-1 shows the block diagram.

Electronic Circuit

During operation, the input current signal is received by the transducers electronic circuit and compared to the output pressure from the booster stage. A solid-state pressure sensor is part of the electronic circuit and monitors the booster stage output. The silicon-based sensor uses strain gauge thin film technology.
The sensors pressure signal is fed to a simple internal control circuit. By using this patented technique, the transducers performance is set by the sensor/circuit combination. Changes in output load (leaks), variations in supply pressure, or even component wear are sensed and corrected by the sensor/circuit combination. Electronic feedback allows crisp dynamic performance and readily compensates for output changes induced by vibration.
The actuator performs the task of converting
electrical energy (current) to motion. It uses a
patented, coaxial moving magnet design optimized
for efficient operation and is highly damped at its
mechanical resonance. A silicone rubber diaphragm
protects its working magnetic gaps from
contamination.

Pilot Stage

The patented pilot stage contains two opposed fixed
nozzles: the supply nozzle and the receiver nozzle.
It also contains the deflector, which is the moving
element.See figures 4-2 and 4-3. The supply nozzle
is connected to the supply air and provides a
high-velocity air stream. The receiver nozzle
captures the air stream and converts it back to
pressure. The receiver nozzle pressure is the output
pressure of the pilot stage.
To vary the pilot output pressure, the high-velocity
stream is diverted away from the receiver nozzle by
the deflector, which is a cylindrical, aerodynamic
body located between the two nozzles.
Note
Because the transducer is electronic in nature, it is not well-modeled in the loop as a simple resistor in series with an inductor. Also it is better thought of as a 50-ohm resistor in series with a
6.0 V voltage drop, with negligible inductance.
This is important when calculating the loop load. When the transducer is used in series with a microprocessor-based transmitter, the noninductive nature of the transducer allows digital signals to successfully pass through undistorted.

Magnetic Actuator

The electronic circuit controls the level of current flowing through the actuator coil, which is located in the pilot/actuator assembly. A change to the level of coil current is made by the electronic circuit when it senses a discrepancy between the pressure measured by the sensor and the pressure required by the input signal.
In response to a change in actuator coil current, the
deflector is repositioned between the nozzles. There
is a linear relationship between the coil current and
the pilot stage output pressure. For direct action
units, the power-off, or fail-safe, position of the top
of the deflector is near the center of the stream and
results in nearly zero pilot output pressure. As the
coil is energized, the deflector is drawn out of the
stream.
For reverse action units, the power-off, or fail-safe,
position of the deflector is completely out of the
stream. The result is maximum pilot output pressure.
As the coil is energized, the deflector moves into the
stream, resulting in a decreased pilot output
pressure.
The deflector material is tungsten carbide, and the
nozzles are 316 stainless steel. The nozzles have a
large bore of 0.41 mm (0.016 inches), which
provides good resistance to plugging.

Booster Stage
The receiver nozzle pressure controls the booster stage, which has a poppet valve design. An increase in receiver nozzle pressure positions the valving in the booster stage to produce an increase in the transducer output signal. A decrease in the receiver nozzle pressure positions the valving in the booster stage to allow exhaust to occur, decreasing the output signal.
4–2
The booster stage operates using a 3:1 pressure
gain from the pilot stage. High flow rate capability is
achieved by large flow area poppet design and
internal porting having low flow resistance. The
booster stage design provides very good stability in
high vibration applications, and the poppet valve
technology provides resistance to plugging.

Troubleshooting
Section 5 Troubleshooting5-5-
The modular design and unitized subassemblies of the Type 846 and Model 3311 allow for quick and easy troubleshooting and repair. This section presents information on the diagnostic features and procedures for troubleshooting both models in service or in the shop.

Diagnostic Features

If a control loop does not perform properly and the cause of malfunction has not been determined, two features of the transducer can be used to determine if the transducer is at fault: the stroke port and Remote Pressure Reading.

Stroke Port

The stroke port provides a way to quickly increase the transducer output, giving a rough measure of the units functionality. A hole in the module cover vents the constant bleed from the pilot stage. When the hole is covered, pressure at the pilot stage receiver nozzle increases, which in turn increases the output. Output pressure will increase to within 2 psi of supply pressure for either direct or reverse action. If output pressure does not increase to this level, it may indicate that supply air is not reaching the pilot stage or that a pilot stage nozzle is plugged.
A jumper on the circuit board activates the Remote
Pressure Reading function. Section 6 Maintenance
provides instruction on positioning the jumper. The
jumper, shown in figure 6-5, has two positions: N for
ON, or D for OFF. The RPR jumper is in the N (ON)
position when the unit ships from the factory, unless
otherwise specificed.
Using the HARTR Communicator to Read the RPR
Signal
The RPR frequency signal can be measured at any
location along the two input wires using a HART
Communicator. The HART Communicator displays
both the output frequency in Hertz and the
transducer output pressure in psi. Figure 5-1 shows
the wiring connections.
The transducer is not a microprocessor-based
transmitter and therefore does not identify itself to
the HART Communicator. For this reason, the
HART Communicator displays a screen telling the
user it cannot verify that the transducer is on the
loop.
Neither the HART Communicator nor the Remote
Pressure Reading function are intended to be used
for calibration. They are intended as a diagnostic
feature. The accuracy of the Remote Pressure
Reading function when used in conjunction with the
HART Communicator is typically ±3% of span and
guaranteed to be a maximum of ±6% of span.
Note
If the stroke port diagnostic feature is not desired, the transducer is available with an optional cover that contains multiple stroke ports, as shown in figure 2-1. This prevents increasing the output by covering the stroke port.
Remote Pressure Reading (RPR)
Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) is an optional diagnostic feature that enables the user to determine the output pressure from any location along the signal wire path. For loop troubleshooting, this allows the user to confirm the functionality of the transducer from a remote location.
A frequency signal directly proportional to the output pressure is superimposed on the input signal loop. The frequency range of the RPR function is 5,000 to 8,000 Hz.
Note
When the output of a smart transmitter is used as the input to the transducer, the HART Communicator will not recognize the frequency signal of the transducer. Enabling the RPR feature on the transducer can also cause errors when trying to communicate with a smart transmitter using a HART Communicator. For these reasons, you should disable the RPR feature on the transducer when using this type of loop.
Use the ON/OFF key (figure 5-2) to turn the HART
Communicator on and off. When the communicator
is turned on, it searches for a HART compatible
device on the 4 to 20 mA loop. If a device is not
found, then the communicator displays the
message, ‘‘No Device Found. Press OK.’’ Press OK
(F4) to display the Main menu (figure 5-3).
If a HART-compatible device is found, the
communicator displays the Online menu.

Using a Frequency Counter to Read the RPR
Signal
A frequency counter also can be used for Remote
Pressure Reading. The frequency counter displays
the RPR output in the same manner as the HART
communicator, but the output frequency must be
converted to output pressure using a simple
mathematical formula. To determine the output
pressure, subtract 5,000 Hz from the frequency
displayed on the frequency counter, and then divide
by 100.

The Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) frequency signal has an amplitude of
0.4 to 1.0 V peak-to-peak. If other noise (frequency) with a comparable or greater amplitude is present on the line, it may make the RPR frequency signal unreadable.

In-service Troubleshooting

A number of simple checks can be made on the
transducer while the unit is in service. Figure 5-5
shows a troubleshooting flowchart.
1. Make sure that the module cover is tight. The
cover should be hand-tightened and then advanced
1/4 to 1/2 turn (24 to 27 NSm) (18 to 20 lbfSft).

2. Confirm the general functionality of the unit by using the diagnostic features described earlier in this section.
3. Confirm that the filter-regulator is not full of water or oil and that supply air is reaching the unit. The air supply pressure should be at least 0.2 bar (3 psi) greater than the maximum calibrated output pressure.
4. Confirm that there are no major leaks in the output signal line or from the output gauge port.
5. Confirm that there are no obstructions and the screens are clean in the stroke port or the exhaust port.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from an uncontrolled process. Unscrewing the module cover removes power from the electronics and the output signal will be 0.0 psi. Before removing the module cover, ensure the process is properly controlled.
9. Remove the terminal compartment cover (see
Warning above), and, using a digital voltmeter,
check the voltage between the transducer positive
(+) and negative (–) terminals. The voltage should
measure 6.0 to 8.2 V. A lower voltage can indicate a
short in the input wires or defective controller. No
voltage can indicate an open circuit in the control
loop. A voltage of greater than 8.5 volts indicates a
problem with the transducer, a faulty or corroded
connection at the transducer, or an overcurrent
condition. Replace the module final assembly. If the
voltage is still not in the proper range (6.0 to 8.2 V),
remove the terminal block and terminal block
connection board. Apply power to the electrical
feedthroughs. (Note the polarity of the feedthroughs,
shown in figure 6-9.) Recheck the voltage. If the
voltage is in the proper range, replace the terminal
block and terminal block connection board. If the
voltage is still not in the proper range, replace the
housing.
10. Prepare to remove the module final assembly
from the housing, or to remove the transducer from
its mounting bracket. Refer to Module Final
Assembly in Section 6 for instructions on removing
the module final assembly from the module housing.
WARNING
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or an explosion. In explosive atmospheres, remove power and shut off the air supply to the transducer before attempting to remove the terminal compartment cover or module cover. Failure to do so could result in an electrical spark or explosion.
6. If applicable, remove the cover lock and screw to allow access to the terminal compartment cover.
7. Remove the terminal compartment cover (see Warning above), and use a milliammeter, or a digital voltmeter to confirm that proper input current is supplied to the transducer.
8. Remove the terminal compartment cover (see Warning above), and short the loop across the positive (+) and the negative (–) terminals to check the output. The output should be nearly 0 psi. If the output is not 0 psi, replace the module final assembly.
Personal injury or property damage could result from an uncontrolled process. Unscrewing the module cover removes power from the electronics and the output signal will be 0.0 psi. Before removing the module cover, ensure the process is properly controlled
With the module final assembly removed from the
housing, the following checks can be made.
1. Review the position of the Remote Pressure
Reading jumper (if so equipped) and range jumper
to confirm that they are placed in the desired
position. Refer to Electronic Circuit Board in
Section 6, and figure 6-5 for the location of these
jumpers and instructions on placement.
2. Observe the position and condition of the three
module O-rings to confirm they make a tight seal.
3. Verify that the O-ring is correctly positioned in the
groove on the flat face of the module cover. Refer to
figure 6-9 for an exploded view.
4. Inspect the porting on the module final assembly
to determine if large amounts of contaminants have
entered the transducer.

Instruction Manual
Form 5739 February 2002
Troubleshooting
Before making the following checks, disconnect both signal wires from the transducer, and ensure the module final assembly is removed from the housing.
1. Using an ohmmeter, check the electrical connections in the housing terminal compartment. The circuit should show an open between the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals. If not, replace the housing or terminal block and connection board.
2. Use a wire jumper to connect the two electrical feedthroughs located in the module compartment. The resistance between the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals in the terminal compartment should be 10 ohms. If not, check the electrical feedthroughs for short or open circuits. If a short or open circuit is found, replace the housing.
3. With the electrical feedthroughs jumpered as stated above, connect the ohmmeter to either the positive (+) or negative (–) terminal and the grounding lug. The circuit should show an open. If not, check for a short to the housing.
4. Remove the module from the module cover and inspect the pilot/actuator assembly for damage or clogging.
Some of the previous troubleshooting steps may be inconvenient to perform in the field. It may be best to make use of the modular design of the Type 846 or Model 3311, and keep a spare, calibrated module final assembly available for exchange. If the module final assembly is to be transported to the shop for repair, first remove it from the module cover. Attach the spare module final assembly to the module cover. Refer to Module Final Assembly in Section 6 for complete instructions. The nonfunctioning module can then be returned to the shop for troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting in the Shop

The three subassemblies are the pilot/actuator
assembly, the electronic circuit board, and the
module subassembly. The module subassembly
consists of the module final assembly with both the
pilot/actuator assembly and electronic circuit board
removed.
1. Remove the pilot/actuator assembly. Refer to
Pilot/Actuator Assembly in Section 6 for complete
removal information.
a. Inspect the nozzles and deflector. If they show a buildup of contaminants, clean the nozzles by gently inserting a wire with a maximum diameter of 0.38 mm (0.015 inches). Clean the deflector, if necessary, by spraying with contact cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not apply force to the deflector bar while cleaning the nozzles. Doing so could alter the alignment or disable the deflector bar mechanism.
CAUTION
Do not use chlorinated solvents for cleaning the pilot/actuator assembly. The chlorinated solvents will deteriorate the rubber diaphragm.
If the entire transducer is brought to the shop for troubleshooting, then the preceding sequence applies. If only the module final assembly has been brought to the shop, then use another Type 846 or Model 3311 housing as a test fixture. Insert the module into the test fixture. Perform the previous steps (as they apply) of the In-service Troubleshooting procedure.
To further aid troubleshooting, the module final assembly can be broken down into three subassemblies. The troubleshooting sequence consists of exchanging the subassemblies with known working ones to determine which is at fault.
b. Make sure the O-rings are lightly lubricated with silicone grease and properly seated.
c. Reassemble and check operation.
d. If after cleaning the transducer does not function, replace the pilot/actuator assembly with a new one.
e. Reassemble and check operation.

2. Remove the electronic circuit board from the module final assembly. Section 6—Maintenance describes how to remove the board.
a. Inspect the O-rings around the sensor for damage and replace them if necessary.
b. Check the sensor port and areas around the sensor for foreign material, and clean if necessary.
c. Reassemble and check operation. d. If the transducer does not function, replace
the electronic circuit board with a new one. Refer to Electronic Circuit Board in Section 6 for complete removal information.
e. Reassemble and check operation.
3. The module subassembly is aligned at the factory and should not be further disassembled. If the above steps fail to produce a working unit, the module subassembly is faulty and should be replaced.

WARNING
Use only the procedures and new parts specifically referenced in this manual. Unauthorized procedures or parts can affect product performance and the output signal used to control a process, and may render the instrument dangerous.

Module Final Assembly

The active mechanical and electrical components of the transducer are incorporated into a single, field-replaceable module called the module final assembly, as shown in figure 6-1. Electrical connection between the terminal compartment and module final assembly is made by electrical feedthroughs that extend into the module compartment. The feedthroughs enter sockets on the electronic circuit board. The span and zero screws extend through the terminal compartment wall into the module compartment. Connection to the span and zero potentiometers on the electronic circuit board is made by VelcroR.
The module final assembly has three separate radial ports. The upper port is for supply air, the middle port for the output signal, and the lower ports for exhaust. Three O-rings separate the ports. The two lower O-rings are the same size, and the upper O-ring is slightly smaller. Table 6-1 shows O-ring sizes.
The module final assembly is attached to the module cover, which allows insertion and removal, and can be separated from the module cover for further disassembly. A module cover O-ring provides a seal between the module cover and module final assembly. Table 6-1 shows the O-ring sizes. A slip ring is located around the module feet. It allows the module cover to turn easily when the module final assembly is being removed from the housing.

The module final assembly consists of three major subassemblies, as shown in figure 6-1. They are the electronic circuit board, pilot/actuator assembly, and module subassembly.
Removing the Module Final Assembly
The module final assembly is attached to the module cover. Removing the module cover automatically removes the module final assembly from the housing. When the module cover is unscrewed, the electrical feedthroughs and span and zero adjustments automatically disengage. The internal air ports are also disengaged. The air supply to the transducer should be turned off to prevent uncontrolled air loss through the housing.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from an uncontrolled process. Unscrewing the module cover removes power from the electronics and the output signal will be 0.0 psi. Before removing the module cover, ensure the process is properly controlled.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or an explosion. In explosive atmospheres, remove power and shut off the air supply to the transducer before attempting to remove the terminal compartment cover or module cover.

Note
The module and the housing are designed for minimal clearance; therefore, patience may be required while pulling on the cover. Time must be allowed for release of the vacuum effect between the housing and module. If the module becomes tilted and cannot be removed, reinsert it completely into the housing and fully engage the module cover threads. Then proceed again with removal, ensuring that you pull slowly in a straight line.

Grasp the module cover with one hand and the module final assembly with the other hand. Rotate the module final assembly so that the module alignment key is directly above the indicating boss on the module cover. Figure 6-2 shows the module alignment key and the indicating boss. The module feet are now aligned with the cover slots.
3. Remove the module final assembly from the module cover. To accomplish this, hold the cover steady, and push the module final assembly in the direction of the module cover indicating boss. At the same time, lift the opposite foot of the module final assembly out of the cover slot, as shown in figure 6-3.
Replacing the Module Final Assembly
Use the following procedure to attach the module cover and replace the module final assembly:
1. Ensure that the electronic circuit board and the pilot actuator assembly provide the desired action (direct or reverse). See the Electronic Circuit Board and Pilot/actuator Assembly Action descriptions later in this section.
2. Ensure that the slip ring is in place around the feet of the module final assembly. The module cover O-ring should be lightly lubricated with silicone grease and placed in the O-ring gland. The stroke port screen should be clean and in place.
Do not grip the module cover threads. The threads are sharp and may cause minor injury. Wear gloves when removing the module cover.
2. Prepare to remove the module final assembly from the module cover. Align the module feet with the two interior cover slots. To accomplish this, identify the indicating boss on the module cover, shown in figure 6-2.
WARNING
Personal injury and property damage could result from fire or explosion. Do not operate the transducer with the CENELEC flameproof options at a supply pressure in excess of 1.4 bar (20 psi). Doing so invalidates the

Note
The module cover O-ring must be in the O-ring gland, not down on the threads of the cover. This will ensure proper sealing of the pilot pressure area.
3. Position the retaining clips in the module cover so they are ready to accept the feet of the module final assembly. Ensure the leaves on the retaining clips are facing up. Figure 6-1 shows the correct orientation.
4. Insert one of the module feet into a cover slot, and push on the module final assembly to compress the retaining clip. Insert the opposite foot into the opposite cover slot, and rotate the module 90 degrees in the module cover to secure it in place.
5. Ensure that the three module O-rings are in the O-ring glands and are lightly lubricated with silicone grease. Inspect the O-rings to ensure that they are not twisted or stretched.
6. Apply lubricant to module cover threads for ease of assembly.
7. Prepare to insert the module into the housing. Align the V-groove located on the module final assembly with the indicating mark located on the nameplate. This positions the alignment key with the
When the module cover is tightened, connection is made with the electrical feedthroughs and span and zero screws, and the module final assembly O-rings become seated. Failure to fully tighten the module cover may prevent the transducer from operating properly.

Electronic Circuit Board

The electronic circuit board is located on top of the module final assembly, as shown in figure 6-1. Beneath the circuit board and permanently attached to it is the pressure sensor. Two jumpers on the circuit board control various functions of the transducer. Figure 6-5 shows the location of these jumpers.
Optional Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) Jumper
Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) is an optional diagnostic feature that enables the operator to determine the transducer output signal from any location along the signal wire path. The transducer generates a frequency signal that can be received by a HART Communicator or a frequency counter. Operation of the RPR feature is jumper-selectable, in units so equipped. The RPR feature operates when the jumper is located in the N position on the circuit board. With the jumper in the D position, the RPR feature does not operate. When the RPR feature is included, the transducer is shipped with the RPR jumper in the N position, unless otherwise specified. For more information about the RPR feature, refer to Remote Pressure Reading (RPR) in Section 5.

For reverse action units, output changes inversely with a change in input. For example, as the input increases from 4 to 20 mA the output decreases from 1.0 to 0.2 bar (15 to 3 psi). Reverse action circuit boards are red in color.
Upon loss of input current, or if input current decreases below 3.3 0.3 mA, the output of the direct action unit decreases to less than 0.1 bar (1 psi). In the same situation, the output of the reverse action unit increases to near supply pressure.

Removing the Electronic Circuit Board
The electronic circuit board is connected to the module final assembly by five mounting screws. The circuit board must be removed to inspect the pressure sensor located beneath it. To remove the circuit board, remove the five mounting screws and pull upward on the plastic board standoff
1
(black=multirange; white=standard).
CAUTION
Standard electronic assembly handling procedures apply. Do not attempt to remove the circuit board by pulling on the components. Doing so could weaken the connections and disable the electronics.
Be careful when handling the pressure sensor located beneath the circuit board. The pressure sensor lead frame is bent to allow the pressure sensor to fit properly in the sensor cavity of the module final assembly, and to maintain flush contact with the pressure sensor manifold.
The range jumper is positioned according to the calibration specified. All full span calibrations and some split range calibrations can be accomplished with the range jumper in the High Range position. Some split range calibrations require the jumper to be in the Low Range position. For more information about the range jumper, refer to Standard Performance: Split Range Input, Direct Action in Section 4.
Action
For direct action units, output changes directly with a corresponding change in input. For example, as the input increases from 4 to 20 mA the output increases from 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psi). Direct action circuit boards are green in color.
Three O-rings accompany the pressure sensor. Two O-rings of the same size are located on each side of the pressure sensor. A third, smaller O-ring is positioned in the beveled O-ring gland of the module sub-assembly. Table 6-1 shows the O-ring sizes. The pressure sensor may be gently bent away from the pressure sensor manifold to access the sensor O-ring and confirm that the pressure ports are clear.
Product Change
Previous electronic circuit boards have the two sensor O-rings positioned on the shoulders of the sensor. They also have a sensor seal washer that is positioned in the bottom of the pressure sensor cavity of the module subassembly. Both the previous and the current designs are compatible

Replacing the Electronic Circuit Board
1. Verify that the circuit board is green for assembly into a direct action unit, or red for assembly into a reverse action unit.
2. Ensure that the three O-rings are in the proper position. The small O-ring is positioned in the beveled O-ring gland of the module subassembly. The two sensor O-rings are each positioned on the shoulders of the sensor. They should be lightly lubricated with silicone grease.
3. Ensure that the pressure sensor is correctly positioned against the manifold. The pressure sensor should be centered and in contact with the manifold, as shown in figure 6-6.
4. Position the circuit board on the module subassembly. Ensure that the circuit board mounting holes match those on the module subassembly. Place the three long screws in the mounting holes adjacent to the pressure sensor.
5. Place the two short screws in the remaining mounting holes. Tighten the three long screws first, then tighten the remaining two screws.

Pilot/Actuator Assembly

The pilot/actuator assembly is located at the bottom of the module final assembly, as shown in figure 6-1. It is a unitized assembly consisting of the coil, magnet, and spring of the actuator, and the deflector and nozzles of the pilot stage. Two O-rings are part of the pilot/actuator assembly. Table 6-1 shows the O-ring sizes. They are located in the beveled O-ring

Removing the Pilot/Actuator Assembly
To remove the pilot/actuator assembly, disengage the four mounting screws, and gently pull the assembly out of the module subassembly. To aid removal, the pilot/actuator framework may be gently gripped with a pair of pliers.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from an uncontrolled process. Do not attempt to remove the pilot/actuator assembly by gripping or pulling on the deflector or nozzles. Doing so could alter the alignment or disable the deflector/nozzle mechanism.
Inspect the assembly for a buildup of foreign material. The nozzle passageways should be clear, and the deflector should be clean. The deflector can be cleaned by spraying it with-contact cleaner. Clean the nozzles by gently inserting a wire with a maximum diameter of 0.38 mm (0.015 inches).

4. Prepare to insert the assembly by aligning the key on the pilot/actuator assembly with the key slot in the module subassembly.
5. Insert the assembly into the module subassembly, and engage the four mounting screws.

Module Subassembly

The module subassembly, shown in figure 6-1, consists of the module final assembly with both the electronic circuit board and pilot/actuator assembly removed. The module subassembly contains the porting and valving for the booster stage.
Note
CAUTION
Do not use chlorinated solvents for cleaning the pilot/actuator assembly. The chlorinated solvents will deteriorate the rubber diaphragm
Replacing the Pilot/Actuator Assembly
1. Verify that the rubber diaphragm under the nozzle area is blue for pilot/actuators inserted into a direct action unit, or red for pilot/actuators inserted into a reverse action unit.
2. Inspect the pilot/actuator assembly cavity in the module final assembly to ensure that it is clean.
3. Lightly lubricate the two O-rings with silicone grease, and place them in the beveled O-ring glands. O-rings between the pilot/actuator assembly and the module should be installed justified to the lower portion of the O-ring gland. When properly positioned, the air passageway should be visible through the O-ring inside diameter.
The module subassembly is aligned at the factory and should not be further disassembled. Disassembling the module subassembly may result in performance outside specifications.

Terminal Compartment

The terminal compartment contains the terminal block, terminal block connection board, span and zero screws, electrical feedthroughs, and internal grounding lug, as shown in figure 6-9. The terminal block connection board is attached to the terminal block and to the electrical feedthroughs.
Separate test points are provided that have a 10-ohm resistor in series with the signal negative (–) terminal. The test points allow the input current to be determined with a voltmeter without disconnecting a signal lead. A 4 to 20 mA span produces a 40 to 200 mV dc voltage drop across the 10-ohm resistor. The test points can accommodate different connections, including alligator clips and E–Z hooks.

Exhaust and Stroke Port Screens

Two identical screens, the exhaust port screen and the stroke port screen, allow air to vent to the outside environment. The exhaust port screen is located behind the nameplate. Removing the two nameplate screws and rotating the nameplate to the side allows access to the exhaust port screen. Figure 7-1 shows an exploded parts view.
The stroke port screen is located at the center of the module cover. Removing the module final assembly from the housing and then from the module cover allows access to the stroke port screen. Removing the Module Final Assembly earlier in this section describes this procedure. Figure 7-1 shows an exploded parts view.
