Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes specifications, installation, basic setup
and configuration, and maintenance and troubleshooting information for
the Fisher FIELDVUE 4400 position transmitter.
This manual describes using the local interface or an Emerson handheld
communicator, such as the AMS Trex Device Communicator, to setup and
calibrate the instrument.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a FIELDVUE 4400 position transmitter 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 of the
contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about
these instructions, contact your Emerson sales office before proceeding.
Description
The FIELDVUE 4400 transmitter senses the position of rotary or sliding-stem valves, vents, dampers, or other devices.
It provides a precise 4-20 mA feedback signal to indicate equipment position with digital capability via HART®
communication for process variable notifications and alerts/alarms. Position sensing uses a linkageless feedback
design that eliminates direct contact with the measured device (e.g. valve, regulator, level, louver, or other devices).
Specifications
Specifications for the 4400 are shown in table 1.
WARNING
This product is intended for a specific current range, temperature range and other application specifications. Applying
different current, temperature and other service conditions may result in personal injury, property damage or malfunction
of the product.

Security
NOTICE
Physical security is an important part of any security program and is fundamental to protecting your system.
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of end users equipment. This
could be intentional or unintentional and must be protected against by restricting access to unauthorized personnel in your
facility.
D The 4400 transmitter has several features to help protect against unintentional configuration changes:
d System stores configuration and log data
d 4400 Signed Firmware
d Configuration lock switch
d Cannot be connected directly to a network and cannot access the worldwide internet
D If unsecured, any device in the field is vulnerable to a physical attack; safety and security procedures must include
mitigation by physical security controls.
D The following are unsecured, unencrypted inputs and outputs used by the 4400 transmitter:
d AO – position feedback
d DO – two solid state position limit switches
d HART - used for digital communication
d Zero pushbutton, Span pushbutton, and LED indicator – used for local calibration
D The configuration lock switch, located under the terminal cover, will prohibit configuration and calibration changes
over all interfaces. Refer to the Calibrate and Configure the Position Transmitter section (page 15) for additional
information on the lock switch.
D The 4400 has optional applications for configuration and data viewing. When such applications are used, they must
run on devices that are configured according to local security policies.
D The device has been developed using secure coding principals and procedures, including threat modeling and
security specific testing. It has several interfaces for configuration, with each of them having an option to disable
write options.
D There are multiple ways to configure the device, including:
d The Zero pushbutton and the Span pushbutton, located under the cover.
d The FDI (Field Device Integration) or DD (Device Description) used with asset manager software such as AMS
Device Manager or a handheld communicator such as Emerson Trex.

Installation
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any installation procedures:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
General Mounting Guidelines
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory will mount the position transmitter on the actuator and
calibrate the instrument. If you purchased the position transmitter separately, you will need a mounting a kit. The
following procedures are general guidelines. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed
information on mounting the position transmitter to a specific actuator model. Figure 2 shows the available mounting
variations.

NOTICE
The magnet assembly material has been specifically chosen to provide a long-term stable magnetic field. However, as with
any magnet, care must be taken care 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.
Use of High Power Magnets with the 4400
D Magnetic Tip Screw Driver - Magnetic tip screw drivers can be used to work on the 4400 position transmitter. However,
they should not be brought in close proximity to the magnet assembly (located at the back of the instrument) during
process operations.
D Calibrator Strap Magnets - These are high power magnets used to hold 4-20 mA calibrators.
Normally, these calibrators would not be used while an instrument is controlling the process.
High power magnets should be kept at least 15 cm (6 inches) from the 4400.
Notes
As a general rule, do not use less than 50% of the magnet assembly travel range 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
(the center point of the channel on the back of the 4400 housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve
travel. The linear magnet assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.
The magnet assembly may be referred to as a magnetic array in user interface tools.

Quarter-Turn Rotary Actuators
The 4400 can be mounted to any quarter-turn rotary shaft actuator, as well as those that comply with the NAMUR
guidelines. A mounting bracket and associated hardware are required. Refer to figure 8.
Before mounting, verify the rotary motion is 45 to 90 degrees of rotation.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body. Shut
off all pressure lines to the pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to
be sure that the above measures stay in effect while working on the equipment.
2. Attach the magnet assembly to the actuator shaft. At mid‐travel, the flats on the magnet assembly should be
approximately parallel to the channel on the back of the 4400 housing, as shown in figure 8.
Note
When the actuator is at its travel limit, the feedback array must always be at a 45 degree angle, regardless of the orientation of the
position transmitter.

Electrical Connections
Position Transmitter or Discrete Switch
The position transmitter circuit derives its operating power from the control system input channel in the same manner
as a two-wire system.
The discrete switch is a solid state circuit (1 amp maximum) which opens and closes based on a user configurable trip
point. The trip point can be based on valve travel anywhere within the calibrated travel range. In order for the switch
output to function, the position transmitter must be powered. If power is lost, the switch will always go to the open
state. The output circuit, whether operating as a transmitter or switch, is galvanically isolated from the position
control loop circuit such that different ground references between the two circuits are allowed.
Follow the steps below to connect field wiring to the 4400 transmitter.
WARNING
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection, and
temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.
To avoid personal injury resulting from electrical shock, do not exceed maximum input voltage specified on the product
nameplate. If the input voltage specified differs, do not exceed the lowest specified maximum input voltage.
Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if electrical connections are attempted in a
potentially explosive atmosphere or in an area that has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and
atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cover before proceeding.

Calibrate and Configure the Position Transmitter
1. Install the latest version of the communication software on the user interface tool.
Note
This may include an FDI package or DD. Contact your Emerson sales office to ensure you have the latest software version or for
information on locating the necessary files.
2. If you haven't already done so, perform the Electrical Connections procedure on page 12.
3. Remove the cover to apply electrical power to the position transmitter.
4. Ensure the LED is solid green prior to calibrating the instrument.
Note
If the LED is not green, check the magnet assembly position and adjust as needed. Ensure the instrument is in service. If
performing the calibration procedure after a failed calibration the LED will be blinking red. Cycle instrument power before
attempting another calibration.
5. Proceed to the calibration procedure on the next page.
Note
The TALK terminals are located under the transmitter cover.
Note
In order to perform calibration and/or configuration procedures, the configuration lock switch (shown in figure 9) must be in the
unprotected position ( ) and the instrument must be In Service.
Once calibration and configuration is complete, set the configuration lock switch to the protected position ( ) to prevent
configuration and calibration changes to the instrument.

Calibrate
NOTICE
When accessing the pushbuttons or terminals, proper means of electrostatic discharge protection is required. Failure to
provide appropriate protection can cause the device to malfunction.
The primary function of the local user interface is for calibration. However, an LED on the local user interface can
provide information for checking the status of the device, as well as connected equipment or valve, as follows:
Green Normal, no issues
Green blink Indicates an alert is active
Red solid Failure - replace device, solid red during calibration for 2 seconds only
Red blink Function Check, calibration error, Calibration in Progress, and/or Out of Service.
Note
The cover must be removed for the LED on the local user interface to be visible, as well as to access the zero and span buttons.
Ensure the LED is solid green prior to calibrating the instrument. If the LED is is not solid green, check the magnet assembly
position and adjust as needed to change to solid green. If performing the calibration procedure after a failed calibration the LED
will be blinking red. Cycle instrument power before attempting another calibration.
An Emerson handheld communicator provides access to calibration and setup information, as well as various service
tools.
Note
The valve must move from open to closed, or vice versa, in order for the position transmitter to be calibrated. The Zero and Span
buttons and LED (shown in figure 9) are used during calibration. Press both for 3-8 seconds until the LED flashes red, see
Calibration section below. Attempting to calibrate the device without moving the valve will result in the action being discarded;
the operation of the device will be unchanged. The calibration function of the local user interface can be locked out from the HART
master for security purposes.

2. Open the device and go to Process Variables to take
out of service.
3. Once out of service go to Configure > Guided setup.
4. Start calibration and follow instructions to move to
and select the Zero position. The red LED will remain
solid for 2 seconds then resume blinking.
You will then be instructed to set the Zero again or
press next to set span.
5. Move the actuator or other device to the other end of
travel and select span. The red LED will remain solid
for 2 seconds. The handheld will ask to set again or
continue.
6. Follow the prompts to fill in Calibration details.
7. Calibration is complete when the LED turns solid
green.
8. Return the instrument to in service.
Note
The LED will blink red if calibration is not successful. If unsuccessful, check mounting and verify that at least 50% of the magnet
assembly travel range is used.
In the event of an unsuccessful calibration the device reverts back to the prior calibration.
Note
The limit switches do not require an independent calibration; they are calibrated as part of the Zero and Span calibration.
Configuration
Smart Instruments are considered universal; they can be used with any final control element from any manufacturer.
The default factory configuration of universal instruments may not fit or suit the application, therefore the ability to
change or alter the device configuration is necessary.
This section describes the 4400 transmitters advanced features and parameters that can be accessed with a handheld
communicator. See figure 11, 12, 13, and 14 for the menu structure.
Note
Various menu items/parameters within the menu structure are defined alphabetically on the following pages.

Overview
Calibrate Time Delay
The 4400 captures the first end point and stores it indefinitely until the second end point is captured. This is used to
provide baseline time for open/closed diagnostics/alerts.
Close State Dwell Time is the length of time, in seconds, the position remained in the closed state.
Cycle Counter
The capability of the instrument to record the number of times the travel changes direction. The change in direction
must occur after the deadband has been exceeded before it can be counted as a cycle.
Deadband (Limit Switch): The difference between the trip and reset points of a relay, set in percent (%).
Descriptor
Enter a descriptor for the application with up to 16 characters. The descriptor provides a longer user-defined electronic
label to assist with more specific instrument identification than is available with the Tag.
Device includes Important information regarding the connected instrument such as device type, firmware and
hardware revisions, functional options, and the HART ID identifier.
