Typically, a positioner is shipped with the actuator. If so, the factory mounts and calibrates the positioner and connects
the positioner to actuator tubing. If the positioner is ordered separately from the actuator, perform the appropriate
mounting procedure. Refer to the appropriate instruction manuals for actuator and valve installation procedures.
WARNING
Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any Installation procedures to avoid personal
injury.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
NOTICE
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.

Positioner Mounting
Mounting on 1250, 1250R, 3024S, and GX Actuators
During the following mounting procedures, refer to figures 3, 26, and 27 for key number locations.
Figure 3 shows keys 64 through 78 and 101 through 104. Other key numbers are shown in either figure 26 for the
3660 positioner or figure 27 for the 3661 positioner. Two mounting methods are available, center‐bolt mounting and
clamp mounting.
1. Determine the positioner mounting configuration from figure 2. The actuator size, actuator travel, and positioner
action must be known. If center‐bolt mounting is desired, be certain the actuator is equipped with tapped holes in
the posts.
2. Thread the hex head screws with washers (keys 69 and 70) several turns into the stem connector. The feedback
plate (key 68) is reversible and must be positioned so that the pilot shaft (key 19A) will operate correctly in the slot
of the feedback plate. For actuator travels between 20 and 30 mm (0.787 and 1.18 inches) (for 3024S actuators,
travel ranges between 16 and 32 mm), position the feedback plate so the long portion of its slot, when bolted to
the stem connector, is closest to the positioner as shown in figure 4. For travels greater than 30 mm (1.18 inches),
reverse the position of the feedback plate as shown in figure 4.
a. For size 30 and 34 actuators with all travels and for size 45 actuators with travel greater than 30 mm (1.18
inches), position the feedback plate (key 68) between the stem connector and washers and tighten the hex head
screws (key 69).
b. For size 45 actuators with travel between 20 and 30 mm (0.787 and 1.18 inches) (16 and 32 mm for 3024S
actuators), attach the feedback adaptor (key 103) to the feedback plate (key 68) using machine screws,
lockwashers, and wedge nuts (keys 102, 101, and 104). The feedback plate and the wedge nuts must be
assembled as shown in the lower right portion of figure 3. Use the mounting holes in the feedback adaptor and
position it as indicated in figure 4. Then, position the feedback plate between the stem connector and washers
and tighten the hex head screws (key 69).
3. Unscrew the two machine screws (key 24), and remove the positioner cover (key 21).
Center‐Bolt Mounting (GX Actuator)
a. As shown in figure 5, a thin knockout section is cast across the mounting hole in the housing. Check to make
certain this knockout section has been removed. If the knockout section has not been removed, use a punch to
knock it out.
b. Attach the positioner to the actuator using a sealing washer and hex head screw (keys 71 and 72).
c. Install the feedback lever assembly and range spring.
Clamp Mounting
a. Install a hex nut (key 66) on one end of each of two studs (key 65). Turn the nuts all the way to the end of the
threads.
b. Thread the end of each stud (key 65), (the end with hex nut—key 66), into the back of the positioner housing
(key 1) as far as the studs will go. Tighten both nuts against the housing.
c. Set the actuator at mid‐travel using a manual loading regulator.
d. With the finger end of the bracket (key 64) toward the positioner pressure connections as shown in figure 3,
place the bracket and washers (key 67) over the studs (key 65). Thread the hex nuts (key 66) several turns onto
the studs.

9. Attach the positioner to the stud clamp (key 83) using the sealing washer and hex nut (keys 89 and 90), but do not
tighten the nut. Visually center the center line of the slot in the feedback arm (key 88) with the center line of the
hole in the housing. Then, tighten the nuts (keys 90 and 86) only tight enough to prevent the positioner and
mounting bracket from moving on the actuator leg. Locate the feedback lever assembly (key 19) so it may be
temporarily installed into the positioner housing (key 1) and the feedback arm (key 88) to verify alignment. Do not
install the range spring at this time. Place the pilot shaft (key 19A) in the slot of the feedback arm, and, at the same
time, insert the feedback shaft in the hole of the positioner housing. Depress the feedback lever assembly inward
until it stops against the housing. Make certain the slots in both the feedback lever assembly and feedback arm are
horizontal and that the feedback lever assembly and the feedback arm are parallel with each other. If necessary,
correct alignment by loosening the hex nuts (keys 86 and 90) and either moving the stud clamp in the mounting
bracket or moving the mounting bracket on the actuator leg.
10. Tighten the nuts that were not tightened in the previous steps.
a. Tighten the hex nut (key 90) to secure the positioner to the stud clamp (key 83).
b. Tighten the four hex nuts (key 86) to secure the mounting bracket (key 82) to the actuator leg.

c. Tighten the machine screws and hex nuts (key 91 and 93) to secure the feedback arm (key 88) to the connector
bracket (key 87).
d. Tighten the hex head screws (key 69) to secure the connector bracket (key 87) to the actuator stem connector.
11. Install the feedback lever assembly and range spring.
Feedback Lever Assembly and Range Spring Installation
Key numbers are shown in either figure 26 for the 3660 positioner or figure 27 for the 3661 positioner. Key numbers
for the feedback lever assembly are shown in figure 28.
NOTICE
The range spring (key 30) and feedback lever assembly (key 19) must be installed together. Installing the range spring after
the feedback lever assembly is installed may result in damage to the lever assembly (key 17) flexures.
1. Refer to figure 11. Loosen the retaining screw (key 19P) located in the positioner housing until it is fully retracted
into the housing.
2. On the feedback lever assembly (key 19), loosen the zero adjustment screw (key 19S) until it is fully retracted into
the clinch nut.
3. On the feedback lever assembly, loosen the hex nut (key 19D) so the pilot shaft (key 19A) moves freely in the slot.
NOTICE
In the next step, be sure the feedback spring (key 19N) hooks on the spring pin opposite the zero adjustment screw. If the
feedback spring does not hook on the spring pin correctly, the feedback spring may be damaged during feedback lever
assembly (key 19) installation.
4. Refer to figure 12. Verify that the feedback spring in the feedback lever assembly bushing is hooked on the end of
the spring pin opposite the zero adjustment screw.
Note
When installing the feedback lever assembly bushing, be sure the anti‐rotating slot aligns with the retaining screw (key 19P).
5. Position the feedback lever assembly (key 19) so that the pilot shaft (key 19A) will rest on the feedback plate or slide
into the slot of the feedback arm (key 88) after installation.
6. Be sure the anti‐rotating slot aligns with the retaining screw (key 19P), then install the feedback lever assembly
bushing partially into the positioner.
Slight tension on the feedback spring (key 19N) may be required to get the anti‐rotating slot to align with the
retaining screw.
NOTICE
The reason for partially sliding the feedback lever assembly (key 19) into the housing is to permit installing the range spring
(key 30) without damaging the lever assembly (key 17) flexures. Installing the range spring after the feedback lever
assembly is completely installed may damage the lever assembly flexures.

7. Tighten the retaining screw (key 19P) until the screw engages the anti‐rotating slot so that the bushing does not
rotate, but leave the screw loose enough so that the bushing can slide freely into the housing.
8. Refer to figures 13 and 14. Select the appropriate range spring (key 30) from tables 3 and 4. Place the range spring
in the positioner so that one end of the spring is fully in the lever assembly slot. Next, rotate the feedback lever
assembly so that:
D the other end of the range spring aligns with the slot in the feedback shaft, and
D the pilot shaft (key 19A) is either above or below the actuator feedback plate or engages the slot in the feedback
arm (key 88).
Note
The feedback lever assembly bushing will no longer slide freely in the housing after it is placed in the normal operating position
due to the side loading of the retaining screw (key 19P) on the anti‐rotating slot.
9. Center the range spring (key 30) in the lever assembly (key 17) and feedback shaft slots; then push the feedback
lever assembly bushing into the housing far enough so that the spring is retained without holding it.

12. Move the pilot shaft (key 19A) to the approximate span position shown in table 4.
Note
To ensure proper positioner performance, make certain, after alignment and all tightening is completed, that there is clearance
between the face of the pilot shaft and the feedback arm.
13. Install the feedback lever assembly cover (key 19T) with cover screw (key 19U).
14. Verify the positioner action. Note the letters D and R on the flapper (key 10). If the letter D is nearest the
adjustment screw (key 18), the positioner is set for direct action. To change the positioner action, refer to the
Changing Positioner Action procedure in the Maintenance section. If the action is changed, complete the
Calibration section before putting the unit into operation.
15. Install the positioner cover (key 21) and secure with the two machine screws (key 24). Make certain the Fisher logo
reads correctly and the vent is pointing downward. Continue with the Pressure Connections section.
Pressure Connections
Installing a 3660 or 3661 positioner requires tubing and pressure fittings. The fittings, tubing, and mounting parts
required depend on the type number and optional equipment, such as filter/regulator and bypass valve. See figure 17
for the location of the positioner pressure connections.
WARNING
The positioner is capable of providing full supply pressure to connected equipment. To avoid personal injury and property
damage caused by parts bursting from system overpressure, make sure the supply pressure never exceeds the maximum
safe working pressure of any connected equipment.
NOTICE
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.
Supply Connection
WARNING
Severe personal injury or property damage may occur if the instrument air supply 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 air or if
you are unsure about the proper amount or method of air filtration or filter maintenance.
NOTICE
The O‐rings used in 3660 and 3661 positioners are made of EPDM (ethylene propylene). Use a clean, dry, oil‐free air supply
with instruments containing EPDM components. EPDM is subject to degradation when exposed to petroleum‐based
lubricants.

Calibration
The following calibration procedures are for the adjustment of the pneumatic positioner. For the 3661 positioner,
there are no adjustments within the converter portion of the positioner. All adjustments are accomplished within the
pneumatic portion of the positioner.
WARNING
During calibration the valve may move. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of pressure or
process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
Refer to figure 26 (3660) or figure 27 (3661) for key number locations unless otherwise indicated. Adjustment
locations are shown in figure 21.
1. If mounting a new positioner on an actuator or if the positioner action has not been changed, do not perform
steps 2 through 7.
2. If the positioner action has been changed or if the positioner has had maintenance performed on it, complete
steps 3 through 17.
3. If the cover (key 21) has not been removed, unscrew the two machine screws (key 24), and remove the cover.
4. Release all pressure from the positioner. Disconnect the positioner output tubing to the actuator. If the positioner is
equipped with an output gauge, plug the positioner output connection. If the positioner is not equipped with an
output gauge, provide a gauge to monitor positioner output and connect it to the positioner output connection.
5. Set the supply pressure to the required setting. Set the gain (proportional band) adjustment screw at a nominal
value by turning it clockwise until it stops, and then turning it counterclockwise 1 turn.
Note
Adjusting the gain (PB) adjustment changes the nozzle flapper relationship. This nozzle flapper change affects the
actuator/positioner response time.
Note
To improve holding of the calibration tool as used in step 6, the actuator may be used to create the load (manual pressure) by
winding up the positioner range spring. The direction of windup, looking at the spring from outside the housing, must be
clockwise. This windup will create a torsional force over the input diaphragm through the lever assembly. The spring is
automatically wound up in two of the positioner/actuator mounting positions when the loading pressure is removed. These are
left‐hand mounting on a spring‐to‐close actuator and right‐hand mounting on a spring‐to‐open actuator (refer to figure 2). In the
other two mounting positions, the actuator must be pressurized to 100 percent input to create the spring holding force.
6. Remove the calibration tool (key 6) from the cover. Place the calibration tool between the lever assembly (key 17)
and the input diaphragm assembly (key 28). When making the following adjustment, apply manual pressure to the
lever assembly over the input diaphragm assembly to hold the calibration tool in place. Loosen the lock nut
(key 57), and turn the adjusting screw (key 18) until the output is 50% ± 10% of supply pressure. For example, if
supply pressure is 2.4 bar, set the output to 1.2 bar ± 0.24 bar.
7. Lock the adjusting screw (key 18) with the lock nut (key 57). After the adjustment is complete, remove the
calibration tool and replace it in the positioner cover.

9. Turn on supply pressure. Set the input signal to the minimum value.
10. Remove the cover (key 19T) from the feedback lever assembly (key 19).
11. Set the travel (span) adjustment to the desired actuator travel by loosening the hex nut (key 19D) and sliding the
pilot shaft (key 19A) to the desired setting on the feedback lever assembly (key 19). The travel settings are marked
in millimeters on the feedback lever assembly.
12. Set the gain (PB) adjustment and/or the output volume damping adjustment to a setting that provides the best
actuator/positioner response. Observe the gain dependency on the air supply pressure as shown in the graph of
figure 21. The gain adjustment restrictor for air delivery should be fully open for large size actuators and adjusted to
a mid‐value for smaller size actuators with 225 cm
2
(35 square inches) or less diaphragm area. Start by setting the
gain adjustment at approximately one turn open, and, if the output volume damping adjustment is used, turn it
clockwise to decrease the air delivery.
13. Adjust the valve stem position by rotating the zero adjustment screw (key 19S).
14. Set the input signal to the maximum value.

15. Readjust the travel (span) adjustment to achieve correct actuator travel.
Note
When a travel (span) adjustment is made, there will be a zero shift.
16. Repeat steps 11 through 15 as necessary to achieve correct actuator travel.
17. Install the cover (key 19T) on the feedback lever assembly (key 19) with cover screw (key 19U).
18. Install the positioner cover (key 21) and secure with the machine screws (key 24). Make sure the Fisher logo reads
correctly and the vent is pointing downward.
Split‐Range Operation
3660 and 3661 positioners can be used for split‐range operation with the instrument input signal from a single
controller or another instrument split between two or three control valves. Tables 3 and 4 show some typical split
ranges for the positioners. To change from a full range to a split range, change the range spring (key 30, figure 26 or
27) to the appropriate spring shown in the tables. Contact your Emerson sales office
information. Complete the Changing Range Spring portion of the Maintenance section. Refer to tables 3 and 4 for
valve stem travel available with split range operation.

3660 Bypass Operation
3660 positioners may be supplied with a bypass assembly.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury and property damage, do not use bypass operation when the valve positioner is reverse‐acting or
is in split‐range operation. In these cases, bypassing the valve positioner sends the input signal directly to the actuator
27
Page 28
3660 and 3661 Positioners
June 2022
which may cause the valve to move in an unexpected direction and upset process control. Use bypass only when the input
signal range is the same as the valve positioner output range required for normal actuator operation.
Instruction Manual
D101402X012
Labels on the bypass body assembly (key 41, figure 25), and a pointer on the bypass lever (key 42 in figure 25) indicate
if the input signal from the instrument goes to the positioner or directly to the control valve actuator.
With the pointer of the bypass lever over the word POSITIONER, the instrument pressure goes to the positioner and
the output pressure of the positioner goes to the actuator.
With the pointer of the bypass lever over the word BYPASS, the instrument pressure goes directly to the actuator.
Note
A difference between the input signal pressure and the positioner output pressure could cause a transient bump in the controlled
system when the bypass lever is moved to BYPASS.
With a reverse‐acting or split‐range positioner, the bypass lever may be secured in the POSITIONER position so that
bypass cannot be used. To lock the bypass lever in the POSITIONER position, shut off the instrument and supply
pressure to the positioner. Then, move the bypass lever (key 42 in figure 25) so the pointer is over the word
POSITIONER. Align the hole in the pointer with the hole in the body assembly and thread the plastic wire tie (key 79 in
figure 25) through both holes to secure the bypass lever.
Principle of Operation
Refer to figure 23 for the operational schematic.
The instrument pressure acts on the input module, which controls the flapper‐nozzle system of the relay. Supply
pressure is applied to the relay, and the output pressure of the relay is supplied to the control valve actuator.
For a direct‐acting positioner, increases in instrument pressure cause the input module to pivot the beam. The beam
pivots the flapper and restricts the nozzle. The nozzle pressure increases and causes the relay assembly to increase
output pressure to the actuator. With a direct‐acting actuator, this increased pressure moves the actuator stem
downward. Stem movement is fed back to the beam by means of a feedback lever and range spring, which causes the
flapper to pivot slightly away from the nozzle to prevent any further increases in relay output pressure. The positioner
is once again in equilibrium but at a higher instrument pressure, a slightly different flapper position, and a new
actuator stem position.
A decrease in instrument pressure decreases nozzle pressure, which allows the relay to bleed off actuator loading
pressure.
Operation of a reverse‐acting positioner is similar except that the position of the flapper is reversed from that shown in
figure 23. The reversed position uses the alternate flapper pivot point so that increases in instrument pressure rotate
the flapper away from the nozzle to reduce nozzle pressure.
With a 3661 electro‐pneumatic positioner, the electro‐pneumatic (I/P) converter provides a 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15
psig) output pressure proportional to the 4-20 milliampere input signal. The 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) output
pressure becomes the input signal pressure to the input module.

Maintenance
Positioner 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 job. When reassembly is complete, make adjustments as described in the Calibration
section.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process fluid. Before performing any Maintenance
procedures:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to avoid personal injury.
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.
29
Page 30

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 For 3661 positioners in intrinsically safe areas, current monitoring during operation must be with an approved meter
for hazardous areas in order to avoid personal injury or property damage caused by an explosion or fire.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to prevent against process
media.
