This instruction manual provides information on the installation, maintenance, and parts ordering for Fisher 685SE and
685SR piston actuators. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information regarding other equipment and
accessories used with these actuators.
Do not install, operate, or maintain 685SE or 685SR actuators 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 to carefully read, understand, and follow all 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
The 685SE and 685SR are medium to large springreturn doubleacting piston actuators that provide accurate, high
thrust output for short to long travel applications. These actuators are designed for use with a variety of medium to
large Fisher slidingstem control valves including the easye™, FB, TBX, CVX, HP, EH, and 461.
These actuators feature an internal bias spring that forces the actuator piston rod to extend (685SE) or retract (685SR)
upon a loss of supply pressure, thereby ensuring a failclosed or failopen mode of operation. This effectively
eliminates the need for a trip valve and volume tank in most constructions.

685SE/685SR Piston Actuator
September 2014
Principle of Operation
685SE and 685SR piston actuators utilize a piston that moves inside of a cylinder to generate thrust. A seal contained
on the circumference of the piston provides a seal between the piston and the cylinder, preventing supply pressure
leakage. A bias spring that is either below or above the piston, depending on construction, will retract or extend the
piston rod upon a loss of supply pressure.Thisfailactionwillresultinforcing an attached control valve to either
failopen or failclosed.
From an equilibrium state, the actuator operates by reacting to a force unbalance that is created by increasing supply
pressure on one side of the piston, and decreasing it on the other. This moves the piston up or down, and results in a
repositioning of the attached control valve. Travel can be adjusted using travel limits within a valve positioner, which
limit the travel range of the actuator. The optional handwheel manual override does not have the ability to act as a
hard travel stop.
An optional handwheel or hydraulic hand-pump manual override is capable of extending or retracting the actuator
manually and can be engaged at any position from full open to full close. This handwheel override utilizes a worm gear
assembly that is attached to the stem connector and not attached to the cylinder or piston rod. This enables the
handwheel manual override function to reposition the control valve even if the actuator cylinder or piston is removed
for maintenance. The hydraulic hand-pump override utilizes a hydraulic cylinder that is connected to the piston rod,
which is controlled by a manual hand-pump.

Table 4. Approximate Weights for Constructions without Manual Override
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by bursting of pressureretaining parts, be certain the cylinder
pressure or other pressure ratings do not exceed the limits listed in table 1. Use pressurelimiting or pressurerelieving
devices to prevent cylinder pressure or other pressures from exceeding these limits.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
Dropping the actuator and any attached accessories and/or valve may cause personal injury and/or equipment damage. For
all mounting procedures use an adequately sized chain, sling, hoist, or crane to handle the actuator and any attached
accessories and/or valve. Use caution during lifting and handling to prevent slippage, swinging, faulty equipment
connections, or sudden shock loads.
CAUTION
Special care must be taken when installing an actuator in a horizontal service orientation. To avoid cantilever loads on the
valve stem and yoke, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure proper support for a horizontal actuator.
When an actuator and control valve are shipped together as a control valve assembly, the actuator is normally
mounted on the valve. Follow the valve instructions when installing the valve in the pipeline. If the actuator is shipped
separately or if it is necessary to mount the actuator on the valve, perform the actuator mounting procedures in this
instruction manual. Refer to the individual product instruction manuals for the installation or mounting of a FIELDVUE
DVC6200 digital valve controller or 3610 positioner.
If the actuator is being installed without a positioner, the cylinder loading pressures should be supplied through a
4-way solenoid valve or a switching valve. Pressure connection locations are indicated below:
D 685SE Actuators: Side of the outer spring cartridge and bottom of the lower head.
D 685SR Actuators: Top of the upper head and side of the outer spring cartridge.
The supply pressure medium should be clean, dry filtered air. If the supply source is capable of exceeding the
maximum actuator operating pressure or positioner supply pressure, appropriate steps must be taken during
installation to protect the positioner and all connected equipment against over pressurization.
The control valve should be located where it will be accessible for servicing. Room should be left above and below the
control valve to permit removal of the actuator and valve plug.
Three-Way Valve Applications Note
In three-way valve applications where the actuator fully strokes at a frequency of once per minute or faster, and the
stroking speed is rapid (less than 0.5 seconds per stroke), there is a possibility that the stem can fracture at the plug if
the actuator cylinder pressure is greater than 5.5 bar (80 psig). This can cause loss of control of process fluid and
further damage to the actuator. Consideration should be given to the use of high-strength, fatigue-resistant stem
materials in these applications.
