D4 Valve with easy-Drive Actuator
October 2017
Description
The D4 control valve with easy-Drive electric actuator is a compact, rugged valve designed primarily for high‐pressure
throttling applications. This valve is ideal for use on pressure and flow control applications within the oil and gas
production industry. The D4 valve also makes an excellent dump valve for high‐pressure separators and scrubbers.
The D4 control valve meets the metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 without environmental limits
for temperatures below 135_C (275_F). If the temperature is above 135_C (275_F), the N07718 Belleville washers will
impose some limits, as shown in table 3.
Specifications
Table 1 lists specifications for the D4 control valve with easy-Drive electric actuator. Some of the specifications for a
given control valve as it originally comes from the factory are stamped on a nameplate located on the lower actuator
enclosure.

Installation
WARNING
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 pressure‐retaining parts or by uncontrolled process
fluid, be certain the service conditions do not exceed the limits shown on the valve nameplate and in table 1. Use
pressure‐relieving devices required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
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.
WARNING
For explosionproof applications, ensure the actuator cover is properly bolted before applying power to the actuator.
Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if power is applied to the actuator with the cover
removed in a hazardous area.
For explosion‐proof applications, install rigid metal conduit and a conduit seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the
actuator. Personal injury or property damage may result from explosion if the seal is not installed.
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.
CAUTION
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve
materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end‐user. Since some body/trim material combinations
are limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first
contacting your Emerson sales office
To avoid product damage, inspect the valve before installation for any damage or any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body. Also remove any pipe scale, welding slag, or other foreign material from the pipeline.
or Local Business Partner.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage caused by possible actuator failure. The use of a rigidly‐mounted support on the
actuator casing may cause additional stress on the actuator leading to premature wear and/or failure of the actuator
components.

CAUTION
To avoid product damage, inspect the valve before installation for any damage or any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body. Also remove any pipe scale, welding slag, or other foreign material from the pipeline.
1. Before installing the control valve assembly, inspect it for any damage and for any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body.
2. Remove any pipe scale, welding slag, and other foreign material from the pipeline.
3. The control valve can be installed in any position, but normally the actuator is vertical above the valve. Install the
valve so the flow direction arrow on the side of the valve indicates the direction of the process flow.
4. Install the valve following local and national piping codes when they apply to the application. For screwed
connections, treat the external pipe threads with a good grade pipe compound. For flanged valves, use suitable
gaskets between valve and pipeline flanges.
5. If continuous operation is required during maintenance and inspection, install a conventional three‐valve bypass
around the valve.

WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the enclosure, do not rub or clean the enclosure with solvents. To do so could result in an
explosion. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
The enclosure is nonconducting and may generate an ignitioncapable level of electrosatic charges under certain extreme
conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external
conditions (such as highpressure steam) which might cause a buildup of electrostatic charges on nonconducting surfaces.
Additionally, cleaning of the equipment shall only be done with a damp cloth.
To avoid damage to the enclosure, when screws are fully tightened into blind holes in enclosure walls, with no washer
fitted, at least one full thread shall remain free at the base of the hole.

Instruction Manual
D103597X012
Important Technical Notice for easyDrive Electric Actuator
When using the easyDrive electric actuator with a 420mA control signal, the unit should always have 12/24VDC
power present on the power input terminals prior to applying the 420mA signal, unless an external 250 ohm resistor
is installed per figure 4. Failure to do so could result in damage to the analog input circuitry.
It is strongly recommended to place an external 250 ohm resistor between terminals 3 and 4 when using a 4-20mA
signal to control the actuator. When the actuator is configured to 1-5V input with an external 250 ohm resistor in
place, a 4-20mA signal may be safely used without danger to input circuitry.
This order of operation must always be maintained when powering the unit on if no external 250 ohm resistor is used:
1. 12/24VDC power on
2. 420mA control signal engaged
This order of operation must always be maintained when powering the unit off:
1. 420mA control signal disengaged
2. 12/24VDC power off
The result of not following this order of operation could result in permanent damage
to the analog input circuitry. This
damage can result in the inability of the controller to see the control signal, resulting in the actuator moving the valve
plug to the loss of signal position.
Default Input Signals
The D4 with easyDrive comes from the factory calibrated and ready for use with the following default input signals
shown in table 5.
Table 5. D4 easy-Drive Default Input Signals
CONFIGURATION ON/OFF POSITIONING
Input Signal L2e (dual dry contact) 4-20 mA
If the input signal of the application matches table 5, proceed to the Wiring Instructions section. If the input signal of
the application does not match table 5, proceed to the Configuration section.
Configuration
Input Configuration
There are 2 functional configurations available for the easyDrive electric actuator: On/Off and Positioning. It is not
possible to change an actuator from On/Off to Positioning after it has been delivered from the factory. Version 4.21
and higher firmware will allow a positioning unit to be changed to on/off.
All available input signals are shown in table 6.

Changing the Inputs from Default Settings
All configuration within the valve is done by setting values in Modbus registers. This can be done using any Modbus
master (flow computer, PLC, PC). Configuration software, providing a visual interface to the registers, is available
through your Emerson local business partner or the Fisher website.
Modbus setup
Use the instructions in the instruction manual for the Modbus master to initiate the connection. The D4 with
easyDrive electric actuator Modbus factory defaults are Address 1, 9600 baud, even parity, 1 stop bit.
When a connection has been achieved, the actuator may be configured to accept the input signal over the Modbus
link (ignoring the physical inputs) and the Modbus settings may be changed to accommodate the network to which it
is attached. Other changes to functionality are possible, such as:
D Low level cutoff: 40037 (default is 5%)
D Position upon loss of signal: 40035 (default is 0%)
See Appendix A for a full map of Modbus registers and their functions.
