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
