Introduction

Scope of Manual

This instruction manual provides installation, operating, maintenance, and parts information for the Fisher C1 pressure controllers and transmitters shown in figure 1. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information regarding the control valve, actuator, and accessories.

Do not install, operate, or maintain C1 pressure controllers and transmitters without first being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury and 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 C1 pneumatic pressure controllers and transmitters use a bellows or Bourdon tube sensing element to sense the gauge pressure, vacuum, compound pressure, or differential pressure of a liquid or gas. The controller or transmitter output is a pneumatic pressure signal that can be used to operate a final control element, indicating device, or recording device.

Unless otherwise noted, all NACE references are to NACE MR0175 / ISO15156 & NACE MR0103.

Specifications

Specifications for the C1 controllers and transmitters are listed in table 1. Table 2 explains available configurations and options.

Proportional Band Adjustment

For Proportional-Only Controllers: Full output pressure change adjustable from J 2% to 100% of the sensing element range for 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or J 4% to 100% of the sensing element range for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)

For Proportional-Plus-Reset Controllers: Full output pressure change adjustable from J 3% to 100% of the sensing element range for 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig), or J 6% to 100% of the sensing element range for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)

Differential Gap Adjustment

For Differential Gap Controllers:

Full output pressure change adjustable from 15% to 100% of sensing element range

Reset Adjustment

For Proportional-Plus-Reset Controllers: Adjustable from 0.01 to 74 minutes per repeat (100 to 0.01 repeats per minute)

Zero Adjustment (Transmitters Only)

Continuously adjustable to position span of less than 100% anywhere within the sensing element range

Span Adjustment (Transmitters Only)

Full output pressure change adjustable from 6 to 100% of sensing element range

Installation

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure:

D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.

D Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following; remote venting of the unit, re-evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this controller/ transmitter, refer to page 11.

D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.

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

Standard Installation

The instruments are normally mounted vertical with the case/cover as shown in figure 1. If installing the instrument in any other position, be sure that the vent opening shown in figure 2 is facing downward.

Panel Mounting

Refer to figure 2.

Cut a hole in the panel surface according to the dimensions shown in figure 2. Remove the cap screws (key 252), brackets (key 251), and vent assembly (key 28). Slide the controller or transmitter into the cutout and reattach the brackets. Tighten the cap screw located in the center of each bracket to draw the case snugly and evenly against the panel. Reinstall the vent unless a remote vent will be used.

Wall Mounting

Refer to figure 2.

Drill four holes in the wall using the dimensions shown in figure 2. In the bracket (key 251) are 8.7 mm (0.3438 inch) diameter holes. Back out the cap screw located in the center of each bracket. (The screws are used for panel mounting but are not required for wall mounting.) If tubing runs through the wall, drill holes in the wall to accommodate the tubings. Figure 2 shows the pressure connection locations in the back of the case.

Mount the controller to the bracket using the four cap screws (key 252) provided. Attach the bracket to the wall, using suitable screws or bolts.

Pipestand Mounting

Refer to figure 2.

Use a hammer and punch to knock out the blanks in the two holes indicated in the back view of figure 2. Attach the spacer spools (key 228) and the mounting plate (key 213) to the controller with cap screws, lock washers, and nuts (keys 215, 221, and 216). Attach the controller to a 2-inch (nominal) pipe with pipe clamps (key 250).

Actuator Mounting

Refer to figure 3.

Controllers specified for mounting on a control valve actuator are mounted at the factory. If the instrument is ordered separately for installation on a control valve actuator, mount the instrument according to the following instructions.

Mounting parts for the different actuator types and sizes vary. Two typical actuator-mounting installations are shown in figure 3; see the parts list for parts required for the specific actuator type and size involved.

Use a hammer and punch to knock out the blanks in the two holes indicated in the back view of figure 2. Attach the spacer spools (key 228) and the mounting plate (key 213) to the controller with machine screws, lock washers, and nuts (keys 215, 221, and 216).

Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator yoke with cap screws (key 222) and, if needed, spacer spools. On some designs, the mounting bracket is attached to the actuator diaphragm casing rather than to the yoke.

Pressure Connections

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install any system component where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual. Use pressure-relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.

All pressure connections on C1 instruments are 1/4 NPT internal. Use 6 mm (1/4-inch) or 10 mm (3/8-inch) pipe or tubing for supply and output piping. The pressure connection locations are shown in figure 2.

Supply Pressure

WARNING

Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument supply medium is not clean, dry, oil-free and noncorrosive. 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 Process Management field office and industry instrument supply medium quality standards for use with hazardous gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of air filtration or filter maintenance.

C1 Controllers and Transmitters

Instruction Manual

May 2014

D103292X012

 

 

Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01. A maximum 40 micrometer particle size in the air system is acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer particle size is recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis. Condensation in the air supply should be minimized. Alternatively, natural gas may be used as the supply pressure medium. Gas must be clean, dry, oil-free, and noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20 ppm.

Use a suitable supply pressure regulator to reduce the supply pressure source to the normal operating supply pressure shown in table 5. Connect supply pressure to the SUPPLY connection at the back of the case.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of process pressure, use a high pressure regulator system when operating the controller or transmitter from a high pressure source.

If operating the controller or transmitter from a high pressure source [up to 138 bar (2000 psig)], use a high pressure regulator system, such as the Fisher 1367 High Pressure Instrument Supply System. For 1367 system installation, adjustment, and maintenance information, refer to the 1367 High-Pressure Instrument Supply System with Overpressure Protection instruction manual, D100343X012.

Process Pressure

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure when using corrosive media, make sure the tubing and instrument components that contact the corrosive medium are of suitable noncorrosive material.

Also refer to the Installation Warning at the beginning of this section.

The pressure connections to the controller depend upon the type of pressure sensing, gauge or differential. Gauge pressure controllers use either a Bourdon tube or bellows as the sensing element, as indicated in table 2. Differential pressure controllers use two bellows to sense differential pressure.

For gauge pressure instruments: The control pressure block (key 10 in figure 22) has two connections. Process pressure can be connected either to the CONTROL connection on the back of the case, or to the connection on the left side of the case, shown in figure 2, depending on the instrument application. Plug the unused connection.

For differential pressure instruments: Connect the low pressure line to the CONTROL connection on the side of the case and the high pressure line to the CONTROL connection on the back of the case as shown in figure 2.

When installing process piping, follow accepted practices to ensure accurate transmission of the process pressure to the controller or transmitter. Install shutoff valves, vents, drains, or seal systems as needed in the process pressure lines. If the instrument is located such that the adjacent process pressure lines will be approximately horizontal, the lines should slope downward to the instrument for liquid-filled lines and upward to instruments for gas-filled lines. This will minimize the possibility of air becoming trapped in the sensor with liquid-filled lines or of condensation becoming trapped with gas-filled lines. The recommended slope is 83 mm per meter (1 inch per foot).

If a controller is being used in conjunction with a control valve to control pipeline pressure, connect the process pressure line in a straight section of pipe approximately 10 pipe diameters from the valve but away from bends, elbows, and areas of abnormal fluid velocities. For pressure-reducing service, the process line must be connected downstream of the valve. For pressure-relief service, the process pressure line must be connected upstream of the control valve. Install a needle valve in the process pressure line to dampen pulsations.

Vent Assembly

WARNING

Personal injury or property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas, or from contact with hazardous gas, if a flammable or hazardous gas is used as the supply pressure medium. Because the instrument case and cover assembly do not form a gas-tight seal when the assembly is enclosed, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used to prevent the accumulation of flammable or hazardous gas. However, a remote vent pipe alone cannot be relied upon to remove all flammable and hazardous gas. Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes, and should be be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.

CAUTION

When installing a remote vent pipe, take care not to overtighten the pipe in the vent connection. Excessive torque will damage the threads in the connection.

The vent assembly (key 28, figure 2) or the end of a remote vent pipe must be protected against the entrance of all foreign matter that could plug the vent. Use 13 mm (1/2-inch) pipe for the remote vent pipe, if one is required. Check the vent periodically to be certain it has not become plugged.

Controller Operation

Proportional-Only Controllers

This section describes the adjustments and procedures for calibration and startup. Adjustment locations are shown in figure 4 unless otherwise specified. All adjustments must be made with the cover open. When the adjustments and calibration procedures are complete, close and latch the cover.

To better understand the adjustments and overall operation of the controller, refer to the Principle of Operation section in this manual for proportional-only controllers. Refer also to the schematic diagram in figure 13.

Adjustments

Adjustment: Set Point

Adjust the pressure setting knob by turning the knob clockwise to increase the set point and counterclockwise to decrease the set point. Note that the dial setting and actual process pressure may vary significantly, especially with a wide proportional band setting.

Adjustment: Proportional Band

To adjust the proportional band, rotate the proportional band adjustment knob to the desired value.

The proportional band adjustment determines the amount of change in controlled pressure required to cause the control valve to stroke fully. It may be adjusted from 2 to 100 percent for 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or 4 to 100 percent for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig) of the nominal sensing element pressure rating.

Connect a pressure source to the supply pressure regulator and be sure the regulator is delivering the correct supply pressure to the controller. The controller must be connected open loop (Open loop: The controller output pressure changes must be dead ended into a pressure gauge). The following procedures use a 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) output pressure range as an example. For a 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig) output range, adjust the values as appropriate.

1.Complete the above connections and provide a process pressure equal to the sensing element range.

2.Rotate the proportional band adjustment knob, shown in figure 4, to 1.5 (15 percent proportional band).

3.Verify that the calibration adjuster screws (key 48) are at mid-position in the calibration adjuster (key 36) slots.

Depending upon the controller action, perform one or the other of the following procedures.

For reverse-acting controllers:

4.Apply an input pressure equal to the sensing element upper range value.

5.Rotate the pressure setting knob to the maximum value.

6.Adjust the nozzle (key 54) until the controller output pressure is between 0.6 and 0.7 bar (8 and 10 psig).

7.Apply an input pressure equal to the sensing element lower range value.

8.Rotate the pressure setting knob to the minimum value.

Note

When performing the span adjustment in step 9, do not watch the output gauge while changing the calibration adjuster. The change in output is not a good indication of the change in span. While moving the calibration adjuster, the output pressure may change in the opposite direction than expected. For example, while moving the calibration adjuster to increase span, the output pressure may decrease. This should be disregarded since even though the output pressure decreases, the span is increasing.

Proper controller response depends on nozzle-to-flapper alignment.

When performing span adjustments, carefully loosen both calibration adjuster screws while holding the calibration adjuster in place. Then move the calibration adjuster slightly in the required direction by hand or using a screwdriver. Verify proper nozzle-to-flapper alignment and hold the calibration adjuster in place while tightening both adjustment screws.

9.If the output is not between 0.6 and 0.7 bar (8 and 10 psig), adjust the controller span by loosening the two adjusting screws (key 48) and moving the calibration adjuster (key 36) a small distance as indicated in figure 5.

10.Repeat steps 4 through 9 until no further adjustment is necessary.

11.Proceed to the startup procedure for proportional controllers.

Startup: Proportional-Only Controllers (General Tuning Guidelines)

Calibrate the controller prior to this procedure.

1.Be sure that the supply pressure regulator is delivering the proper supply pressure to the controller.

2.Rotate the pressure setting knob to the desired set point.

3.Set the proportional band adjustment to 100 percent for fast processes (example: liquid pressure or liquid flow). For slow processes (example: temperature), calculate the percentage from the equation below:

For a slow process, determine the initial proportional band setting in percent from the following equation:

4. Proportional Action

Disturb the system by tapping the flapper lightly or change the set point a small amount and check for system cycling. If the system does not cycle then lower the proportional band (raising the gain) and disturb the system again. Continue this procedure until the system cycles. At that point, double the proportional band setting.

Note

Proportional band adjustment affects the set point. Proportional-only controllers will show some offset from set point depending upon proportional band setting and process demand. After adjusting the proportional band, re-zero by carefully rotating the nozzle (key 54) until the steady-state process pressure equals the pressure setting dial reading.

This tuning procedure may be too conservative for some systems. The recommended proportional band setting should be checked for stability by introducing a disturbance and monitoring the process.

Proportional-Plus-Reset Controllers

This section describes the adjustments and procedures for calibration and startup. The adjustment locations are shown in figure 7 unless otherwise specified. All adjustments must be made with the cover open. When the adjustments and calibration procedures are complete, close and latch the cover. To better understand the adjustments and overall operation of the controller, refer to the Principle of Operation section in this manual for proportional-plus-reset controllers.

Adjustments

Adjustment: Set Point

Adjust the pressure setting knob by turning the knob clockwise to increase the set point and counterclockwise to decrease the set point.

Rotate the knob until the indicator points to the desired set point pressure value. The pressure setting dial will reflect the desired set point if the controller is accurately calibrated.

Adjustment: Proportional Band

To adjust the proportional band, rotate the proportional band adjustment knob to the desired value.

The proportional band adjustment determines the amount of change in controlled pressure required to cause the control valve to stroke fully. It may be adjusted from 3 to 100 percent for 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or 6 to 100 percent for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig) of the nominal sensing element pressure rating.

Adjustment: Reset

To adjust reset action turn the knob clockwise to decrease the minutes per repeat. Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase the minutes per repeat. Increasing the minutes per repeat provides a slower reset action.

The reset adjustment dial is calibrated in minutes per repeat. By definition, this is the time in minutes required for the reset action to produce an output change which is equal to the change produced by proportional control action. This is
