April 2022
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.

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.
Special Instructions for “Safe Use” and Installations in Hazardous Locations
ATEX/IECEx
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.

Single Dry Contact Modbus 4-20 mA (default)
If you are using the default inputs signals, and the valve has not been disassembled or adjusted in any way, there is no
need to recalibrate the assembly. You can proceed directly to Startup (page 18).
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 sales office or the Fisher website, at www.fisher.com/easyDrive.
Modbus setup
Use of a serial or USB to RS-485 device is required to connect to the actuator. Refer to manufacturer's requirements for
installation. The D4 with easyDrive electric actuator Modbus factory defaults are Address 1, 9600 baud, even parity, 1
stop bit, MSB.
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: 40054 (default is 5%)
D Position upon loss of signal: 40053 (default is 0%)
See Appendix A for a full map of Modbus registers and their functions.

Connecting using the Fisher easyDrive configuration software
The Fisher easyDrive configuration software allows configuration and diagnosing of the Fisher easyDrive electric
actuator with a graphical interface. Connect a PC to the actuator using a USB or serial device to Modbus RTU converter
using the wiring instructions above. The USB or serial device will be visible in the drop menu under Serial Port Settings.
Baud rate and parity should be set to the Modbus settings of the actuator. Default actuator settings are address 1,
9600 baud, even parity, 1 stop bit, MSB. Press the AUTO button in the upper left corner to connect to the valve.
Use the Fisher easyDrive configuration software (figure 10) to make the desired changes, or register values may be
changed to allow different functionality.
Note
If an actuator is on/off, a Modbus command of 0499 in register 40001 will cause the valve to close fully, while a value of 5001000
will cause the valve to open fully. The command register has one implied decimal point.
Initial Setup
The control method selection determines what control signal to which the valve will respond. Only the control signal
selected will result in movement of the valve; all others will be ignored. The control methods available are dependent
upon the licensing tier purchased with the valve. The functions for each tier are shown below.
