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.
D Product Operation Best Practices:
d Ensure that operation personnel are trained both on local security policies and the secure operation of the 4400.

d It is recommended that you set the configuration lock switch in the enabled position after configuration is
complete.
d Operate the device within a controlled and secured physical environment.
d Operate the 4400 and the FDI/DD host within a controlled and secured network environment.
d Configure the FDI/DD host to allow users to have least privilege access to the 4400, providing access to only what
is absolutely required to perform their job function.
d Apply security patches and updates as they are released.
D Report security incidents and potential product vulnerabilities at:
https://go.emersonautomation.com/reportvulnerability_en
D Password Management Best Practices:
d Manage FDI/DD host user passwords per local security policy.
D Product Disposal
d see Product Disposal Guidelines section (page 27) for recommendations on securely disposing an unneeded
device.
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.

Before mounting, verify that linear travel is greater than one-half and not more than the recommended travel of the
feedback kit.
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 to the mounting bracket to the actuator.
3. Loosely attach the feedback pieces and magnet assembly to the valve stem connector. Do not tighten the fasteners
until the magnet assembly is centered and aligned in steps 4 and 5.
Note
Do not install a magnet assembly that is shorter than the physical travel of the actuator. Loss of feedback will result from the
magnet assembly moving outside the range of the index mark in the feedback slot of the position transmitter housing.

4. Center the magnet assembly inside the retaining slot 5.7 mm (0.22 inch) away from the bottom base of the
housing as measured from the center of the assembly bolt holes to the base of the housing (see figure 4).
5. Align the magnet assembly as shown in figure 5.
6. Tighten the fasteners.
Note
Use a flat end hex key to tighten the magnet assembly fasteners to a torque of 2.37 N•m (21 lbf•in) for 4 mm screws, and
5.08 N•m (45 lbf•in) for 5 mm screws. For added security, especially in vibrating services, blue (medium) threadlocker may be
used on the fasteners.
7. Mount the position transmitter to the mounting bracket, using the mounting bolts. Any of the mounting holes may
be used for linear actuators.
8. Once the instrument is mounted, perform the local interface calibration procedure, as described in the Calibrate
and Configure the Position Transmitter section.
9. Verify the magnet assembly position through the entire travel range before putting into service.
Note
Ensure that there is clearance between the magnet assembly and the 4400 housing slot throughout the full range of travel.
