Product Description
The Fisher 1052 is a spring and diaphragm rotary actuator.
The 1052 actuator can be installed on rotaryshaft valve bodies for throttling or onoff applications. The actuator
linkage features a clamped shaft lever and a single pivot point to reduce lost motion between the actuator and the
valve.
The 1052 actuator delivers several operations and maintenance advantages. It has an inherent failsafe position on loss
of operating air. In contrast to piston style actuators that rely on oring seals, the doublesided diaphragm in the 1052
actuator provides a longer service life.
Powder paint coating is standard and offers an excellent corrosionresistant finish on all external steel and cast iron
parts.
The 1052 actuator is used with a rotary valve to control process fluids that can be used in a wide variety of applications.
They are typically used with other interface components (valve positioner or solenoid valve) to provide a final element
subsystem for a SIF.

Designing a SIF Using a Fisher 1052 Actuator
Safety Function
When the 1052 actuator is deenergized, the actuator and valve shall move to its failsafe position. Depending on
which configuration is specified fail-closed or fail-open, the actuator will rotate the valve control element to close off
the flow path through the valve body or open the flow path through the valve body.
The 1052 actuator is intended to be part of final element subsystem as defined per IEC 61508 and the achieved SIL
level of the designed function must be verified by the designer.
Environmental limits
The designer of an SIF must check that the product is rated for use within the expected environmental limits. Refer to
the Fisher 1052 Diaphragm Rotary Actuator Product Bulletin for environmental limits.
Application limits
The 1052 actuator materials of construction are specified in the product bulletin. A range of materials are available for
various applications. The serial card will indicate what the materials of construction are for a specific actuator. It is
especially important that the designer check for material compatibility considering onsite chemical contaminants and
air supply conditions. If the 1052 actuator is used outside of the application limits or with incompatible materials, the
reliability data provided becomes invalid.
Diagnostic Response Time
A 1052 actuator does not perform any automatic diagnostic functions by itself and therefore it has no diagnostic
response time of its own. However, automatic diagnostics of the final control subsystem may be performed such as
Partial Valve Stroke Testing (PVST). This typically will exercise the actuator and valve over a small percentage of its
normal travel without adversely affecting the flow through the valve. If any failures of this PVST are automatically
detected and annunciated, the diagnostic response time will be the PVST interval time. The PVST must be performed
10 times more often than an expected demand in order for credit to be given for this test.
Design Verification
A detailed FMEDA report is available from Emerson. This report details all failure rates and failure modes as well as the
expected lifetime.
The achieved SIL of an entire SIF design must be verified by the designer via a calculation of PFDAVG considering
architecture, proof test interval, proof test effectiveness, any automatic diagnostics, average repair time and the
specific failure rates of all products included in the SIF. Each subsystem must be checked to assure compliance with
minimum HFT requirements.
When using a 1052 actuator in a redundant configuration, a common cause factor of at least 5% should be included in
the Safety Integrity calculations. This value is dependent on the level of common cause training and maintenance in
use at the end user's facility.
The failure rate data listed the FMEDA report is only valid for the useful lifetime of a 1052 actuator. The failure rates will
increase after this time period. Reliability calculations based on the data listed in the FMEDA report for mission times
beyond the useful lifetime may yield results that are too optimistic, i.e. the calculated Safety Integrity Level will not be
achieved.

SIL Capability
Systematic Integrity
Figure 2. exida SIL 3 Capable
The product has met manufacturer design process requirements of SIL 3. These are intended to achieve sufficient
integrity against systematic errors of design by the manufacturer. A SIF designed with this product must not be used at
a SIL level higher than stated without “prior use” justification by the end user or diverse technology redundancy in the
design.
Random Integrity
The Fisher 1052 diaphragm rotary actuator is classified as Type A devices according to IEC 61508, having a hardware
fault tolerance of 0. The complete final element subsystem, with a 1052 actuator and rotary valve as the final control
element, will need to be evaluated to determine the Safe Failure Fraction of the subsystem. If the SFF for the entire
final element subsystem is between 60% and 90%, a design can meet SIL 2 @ HFT=0.
Safety Parameters
For detailed failure rate information refer to the Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis Report for the Fisher
1052 actuator.
Connection of the Fisher 1052 Actuator to the SIS Logic-solver
The final element subsystem (consisting of a positioner, 1052 actuator, and a rotary valve) is connected to the safety
rated logic solver which is actively performing the Safety Function as well as any automatic diagnostics designed to
diagnose potentially dangerous failures within the 1052 actuator, valve and any other final element components (i.e.
Partial Valve Stroke Test).
General Requirements
The system's response time shall be less than process safety time. The final control element subsystem needs to be
sized properly to assure that the response time is less than the required process safety time. The 1052 actuator will
move the valve to its safe state in less than the required SIF's safety time under the specified conditions.
All SIS components including the 1052 actuator must be operational before process startup.
The user shall verify that the 1052 actuator is suitable for use in safety applications.
Personnel performing maintenance and testing on the 1052 actuator and valve shall be competent to do so.
Results from the proof tests shall be recorded and reviewed periodically.

Operation and Maintenance
Suggested Proof Test
The objective of proof testing is to detect failures within a 1052 actuator that are not detected by any automatic
diagnostics of the system. Of main concern are undetected failures that prevent the Safety Instrumented Function
from performing its intended function.
The frequency of proof testing, or the proof test interval, is to be determined in reliability calculations for the Safety
Instrumented Functions for which a 1052 actuator is applied. The proof tests must be performed more frequently than
or as frequently as specified in the calculation in order to maintain the required Safety Integrity of the Safety
Instrumented Function.
The proof test shown in table 1 is recommended. The results of the proof test should be recorded and any failures that
are detected and that compromise functional safety should be reported to Emerson. The suggested proof test consists
of a full stroke of the 1052 actuator.
The person(s) performing the proof test of a 1052 actuator should be trained in SIS operations, including bypass
procedures, valve maintenance and company Management of Change procedures. No special tools are required.
Table 1. Recommended Full Stroke Proof Test
Step Action
1Bypass the safety function and take appropriate action to avoid a false trip.
2Interrupt or change the signal/supply to the 1052 actuator to force the actuator and valve to perform a full stroke
to the FailSafe state and confirm that the Safe State was achieved and within the correct time.
3Restore the supply/signal to the 1052 actuator and confirm that the normal operating state was achieved.
4Inspect the 1052 actuator and the other final control element components for any leaks, visible damage or contamination.
5Record the test results and any failures in your company's SIF inspection database.
6Remove the bypass and restore normal operation.
Repair and replacement
Repair procedures in the 1052 actuator instruction manual must be followed.
Manufacturer Notification
Any failures that are detected and that compromise functional safety should be reported to Emerson. Please contact
your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner.
