to figure 1 for a typical mounting of a 3570 positioner. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information
concerning the actuator, valve, and accessories.
Do not install, operate or maintain a 3570 positioner 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
proceeding.

Description

3570 pneumatic valve positioners are used with control valve assemblies to provide an accurate valve stem position
that is proportional to the input signal received from a control device. The input signal range can be 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to
15 psig), 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig), or another pneumatic input signal range, as required.
These positioners are normally used with pneumatic piston actuators. However, product types within the 3570 family
can be used with pneumatic, long‐stroke, cylinder actuators or with pneumatic diaphragm actuators.

Valve Positioner Type Numbers

3570 — Pneumatic valve positioner with two relays for use with Fisher 470 and 480 pneumatic piston actuators. See
figure 4. The positioner includes three pressure gauges to monitor input signal, relay output pressure to the top of the
actuator cylinder, and relay output pressure to the bottom (piston underside) of the actuator cylinder.
The 3570 positioner is mounted on the top of the actuator cylinder. The actuator stem position feedback is provided
through extension of the range spring attached to the actuator piston rod.
3570C — Pneumatic valve positioner with automotive tire valves instead of pressure gauges. Tire valves can be used
for clip‐on test pressure gauges. The relay nozzles are locked in place with locknuts to resist unwanted nozzle
movement due to vibration.
3570P — Pneumatic valve positioner with two relays for use with Fisher 490 pneumatic piston actuators. The
positioner includes three pressure gauges to monitor input signal, relay output pressure to the top of the actuator
cylinder, and relay output pressure to the bottom (piston underside) of the actuator cylinder.
The 3570P positioner is mounted alongside the actuator cylinder. Actuator stem position feedback is provided from
the actuator‐valve stem connector through a cable and spool assembly.
3570PC — Pneumatic valve positioner with automotive tire valves instead of pressure gauges. Tire valves can be used
for clip‐on test pressure gauges. The relay nozzles are locked in place with locknuts to resist unwanted nozzle
movement due to vibration.
3571 (Discontinued)— Pneumatic valve positioner with two relays for use with long‐stroke cylinder actuators. The
positioner includes three pressure gauges to monitor input signal, relay output pressure to the top of the actuator
cylinder, and relay output pressure to the bottom (piston underside) of the actuator cylinder.
The 3571 positioner is bracket‐mounted to the side of the actuator. Actuator stem position feedback is provided
through a wire from the actuator‐valve stem connector.
3572 — Pneumatic valve positioner with one relay. The 3572 positioner is normally used on the 472 pneumatic piston
actuator mounted on valve bodies having push‐down‐to‐open (PDTO) action. The positioner includes two pressure
gauges to monitor input signal pressure and relay output pressure to the top of the actuator cylinder.
The 3572 positioner is mounted on the top of the actuator cylinder. Actuator stem position feedback is provided
through an extension of the actuator piston rod.
