separate instruction manuals for information on the
actuator, control valve, and other accessories.
Only personnel qualified through training or experience
should install, operate, or maintain these positioners. If
you have any questions concerning the instructions in
this manual, contact your Fisher Controls sales office
or sales representative before proceeding.
Description
The Type 4060 pneumatic positioner and the Type
4070 electro-pneumatic positioner are designed for
use with the Type 585C and 585CR piston actuators.
These positioners mount on the actuator and provide
the desired valve plug position for a specific input sig-
nal. The Type 4060 accepts a pneumatic input signal
and the Type 4070 accepts a 4 to 20 milliampere dc
input signal.
The positioners come standard with built in dampers,
gauge ports and an O-ring sealed housing. The hous-
ing utilizes a unique O-ring seal that can be adjusted
to a sealed or drained position.
Ease of calibration and maintenance are built into the
design with easily accessible span and zero adjust-
ment, and very simple parts replacement.
