  • Page 10: Process Pressure

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters March 2017 D103292X012 Supply pressure medium must be clean, dry, and noncorrosive and meet the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01 or ISO 8573-1. A maximum 40 micrometer particle size in the air system is acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer particle size is recommended.
  • Page 11: Vent Assembly

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters D103292X012 March 2017 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.

Adjustment: Anti-Reset Windup The externally mounted differential relief valve can be mounted to relieve on increasing or decreasing output pressure.
  • Page 18 Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters March 2017 D103292X012 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.

With falling input pressure, the output should switch from full supply pressure back to zero when the lower switching point is reached. Reverse-acting controllers produce the opposite response. 7. Vary the process pressure and observe the switching points. Widen or narrow the differential gap by rotating the proportional band adjustment knob, then repeat the above steps.

  • Page 27: Principle Of Operation

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters D103292X012 March 2017 Principle of Operation The following sections describe the operation of a controller or transmitter using a Bourdon tube sensing element. The operation is the same for an instrument using a bellows sensing element (key 71, figure 25) except that movement of the beam is caused by expansion or contraction of the bellows or differential bellows.
  • Page 28: Proportional-Plus-Reset Controllers

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters March 2017 D103292X012 This controller output pressure change feeds back to the proportional bellows, countering the pressure change in the nozzle and equalizes the relay diaphragm pressure differential. The relay valve maintains a new loading pressure according to the change in sensed pressure.
  • Page 29: Transmitters

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters D103292X012 March 2017 The action is similar with falling output pressure. Lower feedback pressure lowers the bellows pressure, which moves the flapper away from the nozzle. This again reduces the output pressure and continues until the output pressure is zero.
  • Page 30: Maintenance

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters March 2017 D103292X012 Maintenance If the installation includes a Fisher 67 filter regulator, periodically open the drain on the filter regulator to drain accumulated moisture. Also, push the spring-out cleaning wire on the relay orifice. Check the opening of the vent assembly (key 28, figure 2) or the opening of the remote vent pipe, if one is used.
  • Page 31: Replacing Bourdon Tube

    Instruction Manual C1 Controllers and Transmitters D103292X012 March 2017 Note Key 2 is used as both a supply gauge and an output gauge on units without a process pressure gauge. A quantity of 2 is required for these units. On units with a process pressure indicator gauge (key 4), key 2 is used for the output gauge. A quantity of 1 is required for these units.
