1. Be sure all safety procedures have been followed. Remove the input and supply connections from the existing 3710 base plate and clean the ports.

2. Locate the two O‐rings (key 85, figure 32) and properly lubricate (key 82) them. Place one O‐ring in the recessed area surrounding the input port on the positioner base plate. Place the other O‐ring around the supply port.

3. Locate the two socket head mounting screws (key 84). Properly orient the converter and secure it to the positioner base plate with the mounting screws. Be sure the O‐rings remain in place while securing the converter to the positioner base plate.

4. Connect supply pressure to the converter supply port.

Mounting the Positioner

Typically, a positioner is ordered with an actuator. At the factory, the positioner is mounted on the actuator and calibrated. However, a positioner can be ordered separately and mounted on an existing actuator.

To field‐mount a positioner to an existing actuator, an actuator cover plate with mounting holes and purge tube knockout may be required. Check the existing actuator cover plate. It must have three positioner mounting holes and, for specific actuators, a purge tube knockout. See table 4.

D Wear protective eyewear, gloves and clothing whenever possible.

D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the

actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.

D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure

on both sides of the valve.

D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.

D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D When installing a positioner or converter in a hazardous area, turn off control signals until installation is complete. Be

sure all safety barriers, connections, and the converter housing cap and O‐ring are properly installed before supplying a control signal to the unit.

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

media.

WARNING

Note

The positioner mounts directly to the actuator cover plate of several Fisher actuators. See table 4. To directly mount the positioner to an existing Fisher actuator, you must use an actuator cover plate with three positioner mounting holes and the 5/8‐inch purge option knockout plug.

See the parts list for the specific actuator cover plate required above to integrally mount the positioner.

See figures 4 and 33 for positioner mounting drawings.

Note

To mount the positioner to an actuator with an existing Fisher 3610 positioner, remove the 3610 positioner and replace it with an appropriate metal cover plate and four cap screws. For assistance, contact your Emerson sales office

or Local Business Partner.

Supply Connection

WARNING

Severe personal injury or property damage may occur if the instrument supply medium is not clean, dry and oil‐free. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger than 40 micrometers in diameter will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson field office and industry instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of air filtration or filter maintenance.

3720 positioners and 3722 converters do not meet third party approvals for use with natural gas as the supply pressure medium. Use of natural gas as the supply medium can result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

See figure 12.

Connect a clean, dry, oil‐free, noncorrosive air source to the supply connection of the positioner. Recommended supply line size is 3/8‐inch tubing or 1/4 NPT pipe. Use of an appropriate supply air filter or filter regulator is recommended. Refer to the positioner specifications, table 1, for supply pressure requirements.

3710 and 3720 Positioners

Vent Opening, Purge Option, and Actuator Vent Connection

WARNING

Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or explosion of the accumulated gas if a flammable gas is used as the supply pressure medium. Personal injury or property damage could also result from contact with the hazardous gas.

The 3710 positioner/actuator assembly does not form a gas‐tight seal and flammable or hazardous gas could leak from the assembly. Therefore, if the assembly is enclosed, install a remote vent line from the enclosure. However, a remote vent pipe from the enclosure alone cannot be relied upon to remove all hazardous gas. Use adequate ventilation and other necessary safety measures. Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.

WARNING

3720 and 3722 do not meet third party approvals for use with natural gas as the supply pressure medium. Use of natural gas as the supply medium can result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

The positioner does not have an external vent connection. A unit exhausts actuator pressure through a screened hole (vent opening, figure 12) located in the positioner base plate. Do not restrict the vent opening. Restricting the vent opening can produce a pressure buildup in the positioner case and degrade positioner performance.

A purge tube (key 58, figure 13) is available as an option when mounting the positioner on selected Fisher actuators. One end of the purge tube with an O‐ring (key 59) installs in the actuator cover plate. The other end of the purge tube with an O‐ring installs in the vent opening in the positioner base plate. When the purge tube is used, it relays actuator exhaust pressure from the positioner into the actuator housing.

Within the actuator and positioner assembly, exhaust pressure takes the following course:

D The actuator exhaust pressure vents from the actuator through the positioner spool valve into the positioner

case.

D The exhaust pressure then exits the positioner case through the vent opening.

D The purge tube carries the exhaust pressure into the actuator housing.

D The exhaust pressure then purges the actuator housing and dissipates from the housing.

Most Fisher actuators do not have vent openings. The exhaust pressure simply dissipates from within the actuator housing. However, the 1051, 1052, and 1061 actuators feature an operational screened vent connection when a metal access plate is specified for the actuator housing.

When using the purge option, remember: The actuator and positioner assembly is not airtight. However, if you use the optional purge tube to connect the positioner to the actuator and the actuator has a vent opening, leave open the 1/4 NPT vent connection in the actuator housing to prevent pressure buildup in the positioner case.

Connecting the Purge Tube

The positioner mounts directly to the actuator cover plate of 1051, 1052, and 1061 actuators. See table 4 for actuator sizes.

With an integral mounting, a purge tube (key 58), with two O‐rings (key 59), can be used to relay actuator exhaust pressure from the positioner into the actuator housing. If the current actuator cover plate does not have the positioner mounting holes and purge tube knockout, order a new cover plate. See the parts list for the specific actuator cover plate required for each actuator.

1. The actuator cover plate features a purge tube knockout. Locate the knockout and use appropriate tools to open this hole in the cover plate.

2. Install the actuator cover plate and then insert the purge tube with O‐ring into the purge tube hole in the cover plate.

Note

When mounting a positioner to an actuator with the purge tube installed, guide the purge tube into the vent opening in the positioner base plate by removing the vent screen (key 41) and then inserting an appropriate tool such as a screwdriver through the vent opening into the purge tube.

When the positioner is secured to the actuator, install the vent screen.

3. Before mounting the positioner, be sure the second O‐ring is properly fitted to the end of the purge tube. Use care when mounting the positioner. Be sure the purge tube with O‐ring fits into the vent opening on the rear of the positioner base plate.

4. Secure the positioner to the mounting plate using the (hex) socket head cap screws (key 46).

5. Install the vent screen in the positioner base plate.

Electrical Connection for the 3720 Positioner

WARNING

In explosion‐proof applications, disconnect power before removing the converter housing cap.

In Class I, Division 1 explosion‐proof applications, install rigid metal conduit and a conduit seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the converter. Personal injury or property damage may result from explosion if the seal is not installed.

For intrinsically‐safe installations, refer to the loop schematics shown in figures 34 and 35 or to instructions provided by the barrier manufacturer for proper wiring and installation.

Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection and temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval. Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

Calibration

The following calibration procedures are for the 3710 pneumatic positioner adjustment. For the 3720 electro‐pneumatic positioner, there are no adjustments within the 3722 converter portion of the positioner. All adjustments are accomplished within the pneumatic portion of the positioner.

WARNING

During calibration the valve will move. To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by the release of pressure or process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.

Setting the Initial Cam Position

Before trying any calibration procedure, follow these instructions to position the cam (key 36) with respect to the valve position.

1. Unscrew the four captive cover screws (key 8) and remove the positioner cover assembly (key 7).

2. See figure 17. Inspect the cam (key 36) and loosen the cam locknut (key 37).

3. Disconnect the positioner output tubing at the actuator and attach a regulated air source or other means of positioning the actuator.

4. Position the actuator to correspond with the initial valve position at minimum instrument input signal. Stroke the actuator to the final valve position and note the direction of actuator shaft rotation. Return the actuator to its initial valve position.

5. See figure 18. Position the cam on the roller for the desired input signal range, for example, 0-100%, and insure that the arrow on the cam corresponds with the direction of actuator shaft rotation for increasing input signal. Tighten the cam locknut, leaving a gap of approximately 0.80 mm (0.031 inches) between the cam and roller. Tighten the cam nut to 3.8 to 9.1 nSm (30 to 75 lbfSin).

6. Reconnect the output tubing to the actuator.

3710 and 3720 Positioners

September 2017

Tighten the zero adjustment locknut before proceeding to step 5.

5. Slowly increase the input signal until the input reaches the maximum input signal. Observe the actuator travel and valve position as the input increases. Determine the actuator/valve position at the maximum input signal.

6. After observing the actuator/valve travel at maximum input signal, return the input signal to the minimum input signal before turning the span adjustment knob.

D If the actuator/valve travel, observed in step 5, stopped short of the required valve position at maximum input

signal, increase the actuator/valve travel by rotating the positioner span adjustment knob toward the zero adjustment nut (key 35) to add active spring coils to the range spring.

D If the actuator/valve travel, observed in step 5, reaches the required valve position before the input signal

reaches the maximum input signal, decrease the actuator/valve travel by rotating the positioner span adjustment knob away from the zero adjustment nut (key 35) to remove active spring coils from the range spring.

7. After turning the span adjustment knob to change actuator travel, re‐zero the positioner using the procedure given in steps 4 and 5, above.

Note

The outputs of a properly calibrated positioner will be in the saturated condition (zero pressure or full supply) when the valve is fully open or closed.

8. Increase the input signal until the input reaches the maximum input signal. Observe the actuator/valve travel as the input increases.

Repeat steps 3 through 8 until the actuator travel corresponds to the input signal range.

9. Properly align the indicator and replace the positioner cover assembly.

PISTON ACTUATOR

The 3710 pneumatic positioner accepts a pneumatic input signal and the 3720 electro‐pneumatic positioner accepts a milliampere (mA), direct current (DC), input signal from a control device. The 3720 positioner uses a 3722 converter to provide a pneumatic input to the pneumatic portion (3710) of the electro‐pneumatic positioner.

The pneumatic portion of the positioner is a force‐balance instrument that provides a control valve position proportional to a pneumatic input signal. The balance of opposing forces in the positioner occurs at the summing beam.

One force applied to the summing beam is developed from the input signal pressure on the diaphragm. The other force is from the range spring and is proportional to the position of the feedback lever. The feedback lever position is

3710 and 3720 Positioners

September 2017

Instruction Manual

D101728X012

determined by the location or rise of the cam which is attached to the feedback shaft. When the two opposing forces are equal or at a steady state, the summing beam holds the spool in a neutral position. At steady state, a small flow of air passes from supply through both outputs of the spool valve to the actuator, holding the actuator at a constant position. At the same time, another small flow of air exhausts out each end of the spool valve.

When the input pressure is increased to the diaphragm of the input module, the diaphragm strokes down, increasing the effective force from the input module and compressing the range spring. The summing beam moves the spool down in the spool body, opening output port B to supply air to the left side of the actuator. At the same time, output port A of the spool valve opens, allowing the right side of the actuator to vent to atmosphere.

The piston in the actuator moves to the right, rotating the feedback shaft and cam counterclockwise. This rotation causes the feedback lever to rotate clockwise, increasing the compression on the range spring. These rotations continue until the additional force from the spring balances with the input module force on the summing beam. When the forces are equal, the summing beam returns to its steady state or neutral position and the actuator is held at a new position.

Maintenance

Parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection and replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions. The following procedure describes disassembly and reassembly of the positioner. When inspection or repairs are required, disassemble only those parts necessary to accomplish the task. When reassembly is complete, adjust the positioner as described in the Calibration section of this manual.

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or equipment damage from sudden release of process fluid. Before performing any positioner maintenance:

D Wear protective eyewear, gloves and clothing whenever possible when performing any maintenance operation. D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized. D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator and

accessories. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.

D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure

on both sides of the valve.

D Vent the actuator loading pressure. D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment. D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

D If you are replacing the converter module only, obtain a replacement converter module and refer to the

procedure for assembling the converter. After replacing the converter module, calibrate the pneumatic portion of the positioner by performing the calibration procedures. There is no converter module calibration.

4. Disconnect the supply tubing, output tubing, and conduit from the converter.

5. Remove the two socket head screws (key 84) and remove the converter from the positioner base plate (key 16, figure 31). Inspect the two O‐rings (key 85) and replace them if necessary. Apply lubricant (key 82) to the O‐rings before replacement.

Assembling the 3722 Converter

Refer to figure 32 for key number locations, unless otherwise indicated, while assembling the converter. If the converter was removed from the pneumatic positioner, re‐install using the following instructions.

1. Inspect the O‐rings (key 85) and replace, if necessary. If the O‐rings are in good condition, apply lubricant (key 82) to the O‐rings and install them in the recessed areas surrounding the input and supply ports on positioner base plate (key 16, figure 31). Be sure the O‐rings remain in place.

2. Apply sealant (key 64 or 83) to the two socket head screws (key 86). Then, properly align the converter and attach it to the positioner base plate using the socket head screws. Be sure the O‐rings remain in place. Tighten the socket head screws.

3. Apply sealant (key 64 or 83) and install pipe bushings (key 68), pipe tees (key 56), gauges (key 53, 54, or 55), pipe plugs (key 57 or 86), tire valves (key 62), or diagnostic connectors as applicable to the converter.

4. If the converter module was removed from the housing, apply lubricant (key 82) to the O‐ring (key 77) and insert the converter module into the housing.

5. Replace the two screws (key 80) and tighten them.

6. Connect the supply tubing, output tubing, and conduit to the converter.

7. Connect the wiring to the terminal block by using installation procedures.

D If an internal grounding wire is used inside the housing compartment, connect the wire to the internal housing

ground screw (key 81).

D If an external grounding wire is used, connect the grounding wire to the external ground screw (key 81).

8. Inspect the O‐ring (key 79) inside the converter cap (key 72). Replace, if necessary. Lubricate (key 82) the O‐ring and install it inside the cap.

9. Lubricate (key 87) the threads of the cap and replace it.

10. If the converter module was replaced, calibrate the pneumatic portion of the positioner by performing the procedures in the Calibration section of this manual. Do not attempt to calibrate the converter module. There are no converter module adjustments.

Testing the 3722 Converter Module

Check the operation of the converter module by installing a pressure gauge in the instrument output port in the converter housing.

1. Remove the pipe plug (key 86, figure 32) in the instrument output port and connect a pressure gauge. Provide supply pressure and a 4 to 20 mA DC input signal.

2. Apply a 1.4 bar (20 psig) supply pressure. The instrument output pressure at a 4 mA DC input signal should be 0.16 to 0.24 bar (2.3 to 3.5 psig). The pressure output at a 20 mA dc input signal should be 0.97 to 1.07 bar (14.0 to 15.5 psig).

3. If necessary, replace the converter module and test the new module. Then, calibrate the pneumatic portion of the positioner by performing the procedures in the Calibration section of this manual. Do not attempt to calibrate the converter module. There are no converter module adjustments.
