Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation, operation, calibration, maintenance, and parts ordering information for
Fisher 3582 pneumatic valve positioners, the 3582i electro‐pneumatic valve positioner, and 3583 pneumatic valve
stem position transmitters. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information on the control valve, actuator, and
accessories.
Do not install, operate or maintain a 3582 pneumatic valve positioner, a 3582i electro‐pneumatic valve positioner, or a
3583 pneumatic valve stem position transmitter 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 tocarefully read, understand, and follow all of the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If
you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales office before
proceeding.
Description
3582 pneumatic valve positioners and the 3582i electro‐pneumatic valve positioner shown in figure 1 are used with
diaphragm‐actuated, sliding‐stem control valve assemblies. The pneumatic valve positioners receive a pneumatic
input signal from a control device and modulate the supply pressure to the control valve actuator. The positioner
adjusts the actuator supply pressure to maintain a valve stem position proportional to the pneumatic input signal.
3582NS positioners are designed for nuclear power applications. The 3582NS construction includes materials that
provide superior performance at elevated temperature and radiation levels. The O‐rings are EPDM (ethylene
propylene) and the diaphragms are EPDM/meta‐aramid fabric. EPDM demonstrates superior temperature capability
and shelf life over nitrile. The meta‐aramid diaphragm fabric demonstrates improved strength retention at elevated
temperature and radiation conditions.
CAUTION
Use a clean, dry, oil‐free air supply with instruments containing EPDM components. EPDM is subject to degradation when
exposed to petroleum‐based lubricants.

Description (continued)
Under the 10CFR50, Appendix B, quality assurance program, the 3582NS positioner is qualified commercial grade
dedicated. These can be supplied as 10CFR, Part 21 items.
The 3582i is an electro‐pneumatic valve positioner, consisting of a 582i electro‐pneumatic converter installed on a
3582 pneumatic valve positioner. The 3582i valve positioner provides an accurate valve stem position that is
proportional to a DC current input signal.
The 582i electro‐pneumatic converter is a modular unit that can be installed at the factory or in the field. However, do
not install a 582i converter on an existing positioner until you contact your Emerson Process Management sales office
for application assistance.
The 582i converter receives the DC current input signal and, through a nozzle/flapper arrangement, provides a
proportional pneumatic output signal. This pneumatic output signal provides the input signal to the pneumatic valve
positioner, eliminating the need for a remote‐mounted transducer.
3583 pneumatic valve stem position transmitters are for use with sliding‐stem diaphragm actuators. These units
provide an output signal that is directly proportional to the valve stem position.
Refer to the type number description for a detailed explanation of type numbers.
Type Number Descriptions
The following descriptions provide specific information on the different valve positioner or valve stem position
transmitter constructions. If the type number is not known, refer to the nameplate on the positioner. For the location

Note
All valve positioners and valve stem position transmitters are shipped with foam rubber packing material inside the case. Remove
the cover (key 33, figure 21) and the packing material before attempting to operate the unit. Make sure all vent openings are clear
before installation of the unit and that they remain clear during use.
Instruction Manual
D200138X012
Typically, the positioner or transmitter is ordered with the actuator. If so, the factory mounts the valve positioner or
valve stem position transmitter and connects the valve positioner output to the actuator. If a Fisher 67CFR
filter‐regulator is specified, it may be integrally mounted to the valve positioner or valve stem position transmitter,
except for the 3582NS positioner. For the 3582NS, the 67CFR is separately mounted, not integrally mounted to the
positioner.
Note
In some cases, alignment and calibration of the valve positioner or valve stem position transmitter at the factory may not be
possible, and field alignment and calibration is required. Before putting the valve positioner or valve stem position transmitter into
service, check the operation of the unit to be sure it is calibrated. If the valve positioner or valve stem position transmitter requires
alignment or calibration, refer to the appropriate calibration instructions in this manual.
If the valve positioner or valve stem position transmitter is ordered separately, disconnected, or removed from the
actuator, refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for installation information.

7. Slip the round end of the travel pin (key 60) into the rotary shaft arm (key 2) slot as shown in figure 4.
8. Slide the square end of the travel pin into the pin holder and pin lock (keys 61 and 59). Place the pin lock and holder
into the slot in the connector arm (key 48). Screw the cap nut (key 62) onto the pin lock (key 59), but do not
tighten.
9. With the actuator at its mid‐travel position, lift the rotary shaft arm so that the 0‐degree index marks on the rotary
shaft arm are aligned with the case index marks as shown in figure 6.
CAUTION
Never set the travel pin at a setting that is less than the actual actuator stroke. Setting the travel pin at a setting that is less
than the actual actuator stroke will cause the cam to rotate more than 60 degrees, causing damage to the cam or other
parts.
10. Position the travel pin so that it is perpendicular to the connector arm and aligns with the correct actuator stem
travel index on the rotary shaft arm. Tighten the cap nut to a torque of 10.6 N•m (94 in•lbf) (key 62 in figure 4).
11. Check the travel pin setting using the following procedures:
DFor standard travel pin setting (that is, with the travel pin setting equal to total actuator travel). Stroke the
actuator to each end of its travel. At each end of travel, the 30‐degree index marks on the rotary shaft arm should
align with the case index marks. If the index marks are not in line, loosen the cap nut (key 62) and slide the travel
pin (key 60) in the rotary shaft arm slot until the 30‐degree index marks align with the case index marks. Be sure
the travel pin remains perpendicular to the connector arm. After making this adjustment, tighten the cap nut
and re‐check the arm at the mid‐travel position. If the 0‐degree index marks do not align, repeat this procedure.
DFor special travel pin setting (that is, with the travel pin setting greater than total actuator travel). Check the
index marks using a procedure similar to the standard settings procedure. The arm will not rotate a full 60

degrees as the actuator is stroked, and the 30‐degree index marks on the cam will be short of aligning with the
case index marks. If necessary, adjust the travel pin position so that the 30‐degree marks are the same distance
from the respective case index mark at each end of actuator travel.
