CROSBY J SERIES PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WITH FISHER™ 4320 WIRELESS POSITION MONITOR
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
WARNING
Sudden release of pressure may result if the valve 
assembly is installed where service conditions 
could exceed the limits on the appropriate 
nameplates. Never use this equipment for any 
purpose other than its intended use.
This manual is provided as a general guide for the 
assembly or retrofit on the pressure relief valves 
described herein. It is not possible to describe all 
configurations or variations with such equipment. 
The user is advised to contact Emerson or its 
authorized assemblers and representatives for 
assistance in situations that are not adequately 
covered or described in this manual.
Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel 
or cause damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release 
of process pressure. Before performing any 
maintenance operations:
•  Do not remove any component from the valve 
while the valve is still pressurized.
• Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and 
eyewear when performing any maintenance 
operations to avoid personal injury.
• Adhere to all safety standards and best 
practices for operating the equipment.
• 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. Drain the process media from 
both sides of the valve.
• Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the 
above measures stay in effect while you work on 
the equipment.
• The valve may contain process media that are 
pressurized, even when the valve has been 
removed from the process.
• Check with your process or safety engineer for 
any additional measures that must be taken to 
protect against process media.
Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel 
or cause damage to the equipment.
The escape of process media indicates that the 
valve has NOT been properly vent, or process 
pressure is trapped in the valve body. Check 
with your process or safety engineer for any 
additional measures that must be taken to 
protect against process media. Never attempt 
to remove the pressure relief valve from a 
system that is pressurized. Never adjust 
or perform maintenance on the pressure 
relief valve while in service unless the valve 
is isolated from the system pressure. If not 
properly isolated from the system pressure, 
the pressure relief valve may inadvertently 
open resulting in serious injury. Remove the 
pressure relief valve prior to performing any 
pressure testing of the system.
2.1 Magnetic Sensor Size Selection
To achieve an accurate valve position, the 
correct magnet size must be selected. Refer to 
Table 1 for selection.
CAUTION
The magnet material has been specifically chosen 
to provide a long-term stable magnetic field. 
However, as with any magnet, care must be taken 
when handling the magnet assembly. Another 
high-powered magnet placed in close proximity 
(less than 25 mm) can cause permanent damage. 
Potential sources of damaging equipment include, 
but are not limited to: transformers, dc motors, 
stacking magnet assemblies.
Failure to do so may result in equipment mal 
function.
Tip: As a general rule, do not use less than 50% of 
the magnet assembly for full travel measurement. 
Performance will decrease as the assembly 
is increasingly subranged. The linear magnet 
assemblies have a valid travel range indicated by 
arrows molded into the piece. This means that the 
hall sensor (on the back of the 4320 housing) has to 
remain within this range throughout the entire valve 
travel. The linear magnet assemblies are symmetrical. 
Either end may be up.
2 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION
When the pressure relief valve is under pressure 
never place any part of your body near to the 
outlet/exhaust of the valve. Never use this 
equipment for any purpose other than its intended 
use.
Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel 
or cause damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
When the pressure relief valve is under pressure 
never place any part of your body near to the 
outlet/exhaust of the valve. Failure to do so may 
result in injury to personnel or cause damage to 
the equipment.
CAUTION
This product is intended for a specific temperature 
range and other application specifications.
Failure to adhere to these specifications could 
result in the malfunction of the product, property 
damage, or personal injury.
WARNING
If the process media starts to escape from the 
valve or pilot, stop immediately!
Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel 
or cause damage to the equipment.
The safety of lives and property often depends 
on the proper operation of the pressure relief 
valve. The valve must be maintained according 
to appropriate instructions and must be 
periodically tested and reconditioned to ensure 
correct function.
WARNING
Use only genuine Emerson replacement parts. 
Components that are not supplied by Emerson 
should not, under any circumstances, be used.
Use of components not supplied by Emerson 
may void your warranty, might adversely affect 
the performance of the instrument and could 
cause personal injury or property damage.
Failure to do so may result in injury to 
personnel or cause damage to the equipment.
NOTICE
Contact your Emerson sales office for 
replacement parts.
Before installation, the Installation and 
Operational Safety Instructions should be fully 
read and understood. These Instructions may 
be requested from the factory or are available 
at Emerson.com.
