Description
The 4200 Series electronic position transmitters
combine Fisher
mechanical expertise in a versatile, accurate
instrument. It senses the position of a sliding stem
actuator, rotary actuator, vent, damper, or other
device and sends a standard (4 to 20 milliampere)
output signal to an indicating device, a process
control system or programmable logic controller. The
4200 Series transmitters are available as a
transmitter only, as a transmitter with integral high
and low position switches, or with high and low
position switches only. Refer to the nameplate to
determine the type of transmitter. Use the Type
number and table 2 to determine the output and
travel ranges available from the transmitter.

Specifications
Specifications for the 4200 Series transmitters are
listed in table 1.
WARNING
This product is intended for a specific
current range, temperature range and
other application specifications.
Applying different current, temperature
and other service conditions could
result in malfunction of the product,
property damage or personal injury.
Educational Services
For information on available courses for 4200 Series
electronic position transmitters, as well as a variety
of other products, contact:
When the instrument is mounted, the potentiometer
shaft (figure 2) is mechanically connected to the
device to sense mechanical motion. Except for the
Type 4215 transmitter, all types of transmitters use a
single potentiometer for position input. The Type
4215 transmitter uses dual potentiometers mounted
on the same shaft. This permits using individual
potentiometers for the transmitter and the position
switch circuits, providing additional electrical
isolation. For long stroke applications, a multi-turn
potentiometer attached to a cable/pulley assembly
senses linear motion of the actuator stem or other
device.
For instruments equipped with position switches, the
high relay position switch can be set at any point of
travel. The low relay position switch can be offset
from the high relay position switch trip point by as
little as 1/20 of the travel. In the event of a power
loss both position switch relays de-energize,
indicating loss of transmitter power.

Electrical Connections
WARNING
Select wiring and/or cable glands that
are rated for the environment of use
(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.
Note
For North American intrinsically safe
installations, refer to the loop
schematics shown in figures 24 and 25
or to instructions supplied by the
barrier manufacturer for proper wiring
and installation. For all other
applications install the product per
local, regional, or national code, rules,
and regulations.
Conduit
Install conduit using local and national electrical
codes which apply to the application.
Field Wiring
Figure 4 shows typical field wiring connections into
the field wiring compartment. The transmitter is
powered by 24 volts dc. Refer to table 1 to
determine the power supply requirements. For units
without position switches, the 24 volts dc can be
provided by the receiving device or an external
supply.
For units with position switches, the power supply
provides 24 volt dc power to the position switch
circuit in units without the transmitter, or to both the
position switch circuits and transmitter in units with
the transmitter. A 24 volt dc power supply
independent of the receiving device is
recommended. A separate return is required for the
relays. This prevents relay return currents from
flowing in the transmitter 4 to 20 mA dc current loop.
For the position switch relay wiring, during normal
operating conditions relays K1 and K2 are
energized, which connects the common (C) terminal
to the normally open (NO) terminal (TB1 and TB2,
figure 4). During a tripped (or alarm) condition the
relay is de-energized, which connects the C terminal
to the normally closed (NC) terminal. If power is
removed or lost from the power supply both relays
are de-energized which connects the common (C)
terminals to the normally closed terminals (NC).

4200 Series Transmitters
must be with a meter approved for
hazardous areas.
Refer to figure 5 for component locations.
1. Remove power from the instrument.
2. Connect the digital voltmeter (DVM) leads as
follows:
a. For all transmitters (except a Type 4212 or
4222) connect between TP3 (+) and TP4 (−) on
the printed wiring board.
b. For a Type 4212 or 4222 transmitter, connect
the DVM between TP5 (+) and TP6 (−).
3. Loosen the appropriate set screw connecting the
potentiometer shaft to the linkage:
a. For sliding stem applications, loosen the set
screw (key 26, figure 15) in the operating arm
(key 30) on the potentiometer shaft.
b. For rotary actuator applications, loosen the set
screw in the coupling (key 50, figure 19) on the
potentiometer shaft.
c. For long stroke applications, leave the coupler
(key 100E) rigidly attached to the potentiometer
shaft. Loosen only the coupling screw (key 100F,
figures 22 and 23) in the coupler (key 100E) on
the transducer shaft.
4. Stroke the actuator or other device to the
mid-stroke position.
Note
On units with position switches, the
(R) terminal on TB3 must be connected
to the power supply negative (−)
terminal as shown in figure 9 to attain
correct potentiometer alignment.
Note
For sliding stem applications, tighten
the set screw (key 26, figure 15) in the
operating arm (key 30) to a torque of
3.39 to 3.95 NSm (30 to 35 lbfSin).
8. Remove the power from the transmitter power
supply.
9. Remove the DVM leads from TP3 and TP4
(transmitter signal) or TP5 and TP6 (position switch
signal).
10. Refer to the direct or reverse action procedures.
Direct or Reverse Action
Direct action means, when looking at the slotted end
of the potentiometer shaft, a clockwise rotation of the
shaft produces an increasing output signal from the
transmitter.
Reverse action means, when looking at the slotted
end of the potentiometer shaft, a clockwise rotation
of the shaft produces a decreasing output signal
from the transmitter.
The transmitter produces a direct or reverse action
output signal depending on the location of the
potentiometer wires inserted in terminal block
number 1 (TB1) mounted on the transmitter printed
wiring board. Refer to figure 6 for the location of the
wires and the wire color sequence for direct action.
For reverse action, exchange the positions of the
brown and red wires.
Arrange wires on the terminal block (TB1) for either
direct or reverse action to match the application
requirements; then repeat the potentiometer
alignment procedures.
Refer to the Calibration section to adjust the zero
and span of the transmitter and/or position switch
circuits.
5. Apply power to the instrument.
6. While the device is in mid-stroke position, insert a
screwdriver blade into the slot in the end of the
potentiometer shaft (see figure 15), or turn the
coupler (key 52, figure 19 or key 100E, figures 22
and 23) to turn the potentiometer shaft until the DVM
reads 1.25 ±0.05 volts dc. This establishes the
electrical center of the potentiometer.
7. Tighten the appropriate set screw. Check that the
DVM reading has remained at 1.25 ±0.05 volts dc.
Operating Information
Initial Considerations
If the transmitter is ordered with an actuator, the
transmitter is factory calibrated to the length of travel
specified on the order. If the transmitter is ordered
separately, adjust the zero and span as described in
the Calibration section so that the transmitter
operates properly in your specific application.

4200 Series Transmitters
D A Type 4212 or 4222 position switch (without
the transmitter) obtains stem position from the input
potentiometer and provides position switch outputs
from relays K1 and K2 (figures 4 and 9). The high
position switch circuit output controls relay K1
mounted on the field circuit printed wiring board and,
the relay contacts connect to TB1. The low position
switch circuit output controls relay K2 and, the relay
contacts connect to TB2. Deadband is the difference
between trip and reset points of a relay.
D A Type 4215 transmitter obtains position
information from a dual potentiometer on the same
shaft, which allows for individual potentiometers for
the transmitter circuit and the position switch circuits.
The transmitter input is from one of the
potentiometers and its output connects to TB3
(figure 6) mounted on the field circuit printed wiring
board. The position switch input is obtained from the
other potentiometer.
The high position switch circuit output controls relay
K1 mounted on the field circuit printed wiring board
and the relay contacts connect to TB1. The low
position switch circuit output controls relay K2 and
the relay contacts connect to TB2. The relationship
between the transmitter output, relay position switch
outputs, and deadband is shown in figure 7.
Deadband is the difference between the trip and
reset points of a relay.
4222 connect a voltmeter between TP5 (+) and TP6
(−) to measure potentiometer position.
For position switch circuits, the switching condition
can be monitored by observing the indicating device
or using an ohmmeter connected to the terminal
blocks (TB1 and TB2) in the field wiring
compartment. Refer to the Calibration section for the
test setup.
Calibration
Note
The potentiometer alignment
procedures, in the Installation section,
must be completed before performing
instrument calibration. Also, be sure
the direct or reverse action is correct
for the application.
Calibration of the instrument consists of adjusting
the zero and span of the transmitter and/or adjusting
the high and low position switches for a specific
travel. The high and low position switches also have
deadband adjustments that are made during the
calibration procedures. Refer to figure 7 for
transmitter and position switch conditions.
Normal Operation
WARNING
On an explosion-proof instrument,
remove electrical power before
removing the instrument covers in a
hazardous area. Personal injury or
property damage may result from fire
or explosion if power is applied to the
instrument with the covers removed, in
a hazardous area.
Once the instrument has been calibrated and placed
in operation, further adjustments should not be
necessary. The 4 to 20 milliampere output can be
monitored during operation (in a non-hazardous
environment) by removing the cover and connecting
a milliammeter between TP1 (+) and TP2 (−) on the
printed wiring board (figure 5) on Type 4210, 4211,
4215, 4220, or 4221 transmitter. On Type 4212 or
For a Type 4212 or 4222 instrument with position
switch circuits only, refer to the high and low position
switch adjustment procedures in this section. For a
transmitter with or without position switch circuits,
refer to the transmitter circuit zero and span
adjustment procedures in this section.
If satisfactory results cannot be obtained during
calibration, refer to the appropriate procedures in the
Maintenance section.

4200 Series Transmitters
2. Connect the transmitter as shown in figure 8.
3. Remove the transmitter covers.
4. Stroke the valve or device to the mid-stroke
position
5. Check the potentiometer alignment by connecting
a digital voltmeter (DVM) as follows:
a. For all transmitters (except a Type 4212 or
4222) connect between TP3 (+) and TP4 (−) on
the printed wiring board.
b. For a Type 4212 or 4222 transmitter, connect
the DVM between TP5 (+) and TP6 (−).
6. Apply power to the instrument.
7. The DVM should read 1.25 ±0.05 volts dc. If not,
perform the potentiometer alignment procedures in
the Installation section.
8. Stroke the valve or device to the point of travel
where the transmitter output is to be 4 milliamperes
dc.
9. Adjust the zero potentiometer (R1, figure 5) until
the output is 4 milliamperes dc (1.00 volt across 250
ohms).
10. Stroke the valve or device to the point of travel
where the transmitter output is to be 20 milliamperes
dc.
11. Adjust the span potentiometer (R2, figure 5)
until the output is 20 milliamperes dc (5.00 volts
across 250 ohms).
12. Some small interaction between the two
adjustments may occur. Repeat steps 8 through 11
until the error is within the application requirements.
13. For a Type 4211 or 4221 transmitter without
position switches, calibration is complete. Refer to
the installation and/or operating information to place
the transmitter in service.
14. If calibration is complete, replace the transmitter
covers. For transmitters with position switches, refer
to the high and low position switch adjustment
procedure below.
High and Low Position Switch
Adjustment
Note
The “high” and “low” designations
refer to the voltage output of the
position potentiometer. See figure 7
for relationship to valve or actuator
travel.
The high position switch must be
adjusted before the low position
switch. If the deadband of either the
high or low position switches exceeds
the difference between the set points
of the high and low position switches,
both position switches may be on at
the same time.
The following procedure sets the high and low
position switches, and the deadband for each of
them. The high position switch must be adjusted
before the low position switch. Use an ohmmeter
connected between the normally closed (NC) and
common (C) connections on terminal block TB1
(high switch) or TB2 (low switch) to observe relay
switching action as directed by the procedures.
The potentiometer alignment procedures must be
performed before calibrating the position switch
circuits. For transmitter and position switch switch
conditions, refer to figure 7 while performing the
following calibration:
1. If necessary, perform the potentiometer
alignment procedure.
2. Remove power from the instrument.
3. Remove the transmitter covers.
4. To provide an indication of switch conditions,
remove power from the instrument. Disconnect the
position switch field wiring from TB1 and TB2, and
connect an ohmmeter to TB1 between the (NC) and
(C) terminals (figure 4).
Turn both the high and low deadband
potentiometers (DBH, R4, and DBL, R5) fully
counterclockwise to set the deadbands to minimum
and set the low position switch potentiometer (LOW,
R6) fully counterclockwise.

3. Apply power to the instrument.
4. Turn the high position switch potentiometer (R3)
slowly counterclockwise until the high position switch
trips, the ohmmeter changes from a high resistance
to a low resistance reading.
5. The high position switch is now set.
Setting the High Position Switch
Deadband
1. Slowly stroke the actuator or device between the
tripped and reset point of the high position switch.
Observe this by the changing readings of the
ohmmeter. Note the differences in travel between
the trip point and reset points. This is the deadband
of the switch.
Setting the Low Position Switch
Note
Perform the high position switch
adjustment procedures before
adjusting the low position switch.
1. To provide an indication of switch condition,
remove power from the instrument. Connect an
ohmmeter to TB2 between the (NC) and (C)
terminals (figure 4).
2. Stroke the device to the point of travel where the
low position switch is to operate (See figure 7).
3. Apply power to the instrument.

the low position switch potentiometer (LOW, R6)
fully counterclockwise. To restore the position switch
circuits to operation, follow the high and low position
switch adjustment procedures described in this
section.
Note
Both position switch relays are
energized in this condition. The trip
points cannot be adjusted to prevent
the relays from energizing.
Principle of Operation
The basic concept of the electronic position
transmitter can be understood by visualizing the
entire transmitter as a variable resistor in series with
a load and connected to a power supply as shown in
figure 9. A linkage or cable/pulley assembly
transmits linear motion of the device into rotary
motion of the potentiometer. The potentiometer is
connected to the input of the transmitter circuit. The
voltage present at the wiper of the potentiometer
supplies input voltage to the electronic circuitry in the
transmitter to produce a current output.
The position switch circuit is driven by the same
input system as the transmitter (except for the Type
4215 transmitter). The position switch circuit acts as
an electronic switch that controls two relays. The
voltage present at the wiper of the potentiometer is
compared to the settings of the high and low position
switch set points and provides an on or off condition
for the relays. Instruments that use a single element
potentiometer use the same element for both the
transmitter input and the input to the position switch
circuits. A Type 4215 transmitter with dual element
potentiometers uses one element of the
potentiometer for the transmitter input and the other
element for the position switch circuit input. On an
instrument with position switches only, the single
element potentiometer is used for the position switch

circuit input. Each of the position switch circuit
outputs is connected to a relay on the field circuit
printed wiring board, and depending on the
potentiometer position, the relays are energized or
de-energized.
Transmitter Circuit
(+) terminal and the (+) terminal on TB3. The
transmitter voltage regulator, switching, and relay
coil currents are returned to the power supply
common from the (R) terminal on TB3. The 4 to 20
mA output signal flows between the (−) terminal on
TB3 and the power supply common. This prevents
the relay coil switching currents from appearing on
the 4 to 20 mA output.
At all times, the current flow into the transmitter
equals the current flow out of the transmitter. The
current flowing into the transmitter divides between a
regulator circuit and transistor Q1.The regulator
circuit establishes two voltages one of which is
(VREF). This voltage is applied across the input
potentiometer. The other voltage, (VREG) powers
the Op Amps.
On units with position switches, the transmitter
voltage regulator, 4 to 20 mA signal, and relay coil
currents flow in the wire between the power supply
22
Position Switch Circuit
A regulated voltage is setup to power the position
switch circuit. The position switch circuit senses the
position of the potentiometer and triggers the
appropriate position switch relay (K1 or K2, figure
10) when travel reaches the trip points established
by the adjustments. The Type 4215 transmitter uses
dual potentiometers which allows individual
potentiometers for the transmitter circuit and the
position switch circuit.
