Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation,
operation, calibration, maintenance, and parts
ordering information for Fisher 3582 pneumatic valve
positioners, the 3582i electro-pneumatic valve
positioner, and 3583 pneumatic valve stem position
transmitters. Refer to separate instruction manuals
for information on the control valve, actuator, and
accessories.
Do not install, operate or maintain a 3582 pneumatic
valve positioner, a 3582i electro-pneumatic valve
positioner, or a 3583 pneumatic valve stem 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 Process Management sales
office before proceeding.
Description
3582 pneumatic valve positioners and the 3582i
electro-pneumatic valve positioner shown in figure 1
are used with diaphragm-actuated, sliding-stem
control valve assemblies. The pneumatic valve
positioners receive a pneumatic input signal from a
control device and modulate the supply pressure to
the control valve actuator. The positioner adjusts the
actuator supply pressure to maintain a valve stem
position proportional to the pneumatic input signal.
3582NS positioners are designed for nuclear power
applications. The 3582NS construction includes
materials that provide superior performance at
elevated temperature and radiation levels. The
O-rings are EPDM (ethylene propylene) and the
diaphragms are EPDM/meta-aramid fabric. EPDM
demonstrates superior temperature capability and
shelf life over nitrile. The meta-aramid diaphragm
fabric demonstrates improved strength retention at
elevated temperature and radiation conditions.
CAUTION
Use a clean, dry, oil-free air supply
with instruments containing EPDM
components. EPDM is subject to
degradation when exposed to
petroleum-based lubricants.
Under the 10CFR50, Appendix B, quality assurance
program, the 3582NS positioner is qualified
commercial grade dedicated. These can be supplied
as 10CFR, Part 21 items.
The 3582i is an electro-pneumatic valve positioner,
consisting of a 582i electro-pneumatic converter
installed on a 3582 pneumatic valve positioner. The
3582i valve positioner provides an accurate valve
stem position that is proportional to a DC current
input signal.
The 582i electro-pneumatic converter is a modular
unit that can be installed at the factory or in the field.
However, do not install a 582i converter on an
existing positioner until you contact your Emerson
Process Management sales office for application
assistance.

The 582i converter receives the DC current input
signal and, through a nozzle/flapper arrangement,
provides a proportional pneumatic output signal.
This pneumatic output signal provides the input
signal to the pneumatic valve positioner, eliminating
the need for a remote-mounted transducer.
3583 pneumatic valve stem position transmitters are
for use with sliding-stem diaphragm actuators.
These units provide an output signal that is directly
proportional to the valve stem position.

Installation
If using natural gas as the pneumatic supply
medium, natural gas will be used in the pressure
connections of the unit to any connected equipment.
The unit will vent natural gas into the surrounding
atmosphere, unless it is remote vented.
WARNING
Always wear protective clothing,
gloves, and eyewear when performing

any installation operations to avoid
personal injury.
If installing into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section in this instruction manual.
Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
may result from fire or explosion if
natural gas is used as the supply
medium and appropriate preventative
measures are not taken. Preventative
measures may include, but are not
limited to, one or more of the
following: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources.
3582i does not meet third party
approvals for use with natural gas as
the supply medium. Use of natural gas
as the supply medium can result in
personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Note
All valve positioners and valve stem
position transmitters are shipped with
foam rubber packing material inside
the case. Remove the cover (key 33,
figure 20) and the packing material
before attempting to operate the unit.
Make sure all vent openings are clear
before installation of the unit and that
they remain clear during use.
Typically, the positioner or transmitter is ordered with
the actuator. If so, the factory mounts the valve
positioner or valve stem position transmitter and
connects the valve positioner output to the actuator.
If a Fisher 67CFR filter-regulator is specified, it may
be integrally mounted to the valve positioner or valve
stem position transmitter, except for the 3582NS
positioner. For the 3582NS, the 67CFR is separately
mounted, not integrally mounted to the positioner.
Note
In some cases, alignment and
calibration of the valve positioner or
valve stem position transmitter at the
factory may not be possible, and field
alignment and calibration is required.
Before putting the valve positioner or
valve stem position transmitter into
service, check the operation of the unit
to be sure it is calibrated. If the valve
positioner or valve stem position
transmitter requires alignment or
calibration, refer to the appropriate
calibration instructions in this manual.
If the valve positioner or valve stem position
transmitter is ordered separately, disconnected, or
removed from the actuator, refer to the appropriate
sections of this manual for installation information.

Note
These Special Instructions for “Safe
Use” and Installation in Hazardous
Locations also apply to 3582i
positioners.
Certain nameplates may carry more than one
approval, and each approval may have unique
installation/wiring requirements and/or conditions of
“safe use”. These special instructions for “safe use”
are in addition to, and may override, the standard
installation procedures. Special instructions are
listed by approval.
WARNING
Failure to follow these conditions of
“safe use” could result in personal
injury or property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.

Key numbers used in this procedure are shown in
figure 2 except where indicated.
1. Figure 2 shows the various mounting parts
required for mounting on Fisher actuators. Mounting
parts for actuators that require spacers have the
spacers (key 50) included. 657 and 667 actuators,
sizes 70 through 100, with or without a side-mounted
handwheel, use spacers (keys 97 and 102) between
the stem connector and the connector arm (key 48).
On all other actuators that use spacers, place the
spacers (key 50) between the mounting plate (key
63) and the actuator mounting boss.
When mounting the valve positioner or valve stem
position transmitter on an actuator by another
manufacturer, provide spacers, if necessary, by
cutting sections from 1/2 or 3/8-inch pipe so that the
‘‘X’’ dimension matches the value given in figure 3.
2. As shown in figures 2 and 4 attach the connector
arm (key 48) to the stem connector so that the
connector arm extends through the yoke legs on the
side of the lower mounting boss.
3. Attach the valve positioner or valve stem position
transmitter to the mounting plate (key 63) using the
holes shown in figure 5.

10. Position the travel pin so that it is perpendicular
to the connector arm and aligns with the correct
actuator stem travel index on the rotary shaft arm.
Tighten the cap nut (key 62 in figure 4).
11. Check the travel pin setting using the following
procedures:
DFor standard travel pin setting (that is, with
the travel pin setting equal to total actuator travel).
Stroke the actuator to each end of its travel. At each
end of travel, the 30-degree index marks on the
rotary shaft arm should align with the case index
marks. If the index marks are not in line, loosen the
cap nut (key 62) and slide the travel pin (key 60) in
the rotary shaft arm slot until the 30-degree index
marks align with the case index marks. Be sure the
travel pin remains perpendicular to the connector
arm. After making this adjustment, tighten the cap
nut and re-check the arm at the mid-travel position. If
the 0-degree index marks do not align, repeat this
procedure.
DFor special travel pin setting (that is, with the
travel pin setting greater than total actuator travel).
Check the index marks using a procedure similar to
the standard settings procedure. The arm will not
rotate a full 60 degrees as the actuator is stroked,
and the 30-degree index marks on the cam will be
short of aligning with the case index marks. If
necessary, adjust the travel pin position so that the
30-degree marks are the same distance from the
respective case index mark at each end of actuator
travel.

Note
DFor Valve Positioners: The small
arrow on the cam must point in the
direction of stem movement with
increasing actuator diaphragm
pressure.
DFor Valve Stem Position
Transmitters: If the arrow on the cam
points up toward the nozzle, output
pressure increases with downward
stem movement. If the arrow points
down, output pressure decreases with
downward stem movement.
If the arrow is pointing in the wrong
direction, use the following procedure
to remove, reverse, and re-install the
cam.
When mounting a valve positioner or valve stem
position transmitter, check to see if the correct cam
(key 4) and cam position has been selected. To
change the cam or cam position, unhook the
extension spring (key 38), and remove the cam bolt
and locking nut (keys 6 and 45). Remove the cam
and spring retainer bracket (key 43).
To install the cam, screw the locking nut all the way
onto the cam bolt. Attach the cam and spring
retainer bracket to the shaft assembly with the cam
bolt. Tighten the bolt to secure the cam. Then,
tighten the locking nut against the spring retainer
bracket. Hook the spring into the spring retainer
bracket.
Details on cam characteristics can be found in the
cam information portion of the operating information
section.

Pressure Connections
WARNING
Valve positioners and valve stem
position transmitters are capable of
providing full supply pressure to
connected equipment. To avoid
personal injury or equipment damage
caused by parts bursting from system
overpressure, make sure the supply
pressure never exceeds the maximum
safe working pressure of any
connected equipment.
Pressure connections are shown in figure 7. All
pressure connections are 1/4 NPT internal. Use
3/8-inch tubing for all pressure connections. After
making pressure connections, turn on the supply
pressure and check all connections for leaks.
Supply Connection
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
may occur from an uncontrolled
process if the supply medium is not
clean, dry, oil-free air, or noncorrosive
gas. While use and regular
maintenance of a filter that removes
particles larger than 40 micrometers in
diameter will suffice in most
applications, check with an Emerson
Process Management field office and
industry instrument air quality
standards for use with corrosive air or
if you are unsure about the proper
amount or method of air filtration or
filter maintenance.
3582i does not meet third party
approvals for use with natural gas as
the supply medium. Use of natural gas
as the supply medium can result in
personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Use a clean, dry, oil-free air supply
with instruments containing EPDM
components. EPDM is subject to
degradation when exposed to
petroleum-based lubricants.
Supply pressure must be clean, dry, oil-free air or
noncorrosive gas. Use a 67CFR filter regulator with
standard 5 micrometer filter, or equivalent, to filter
and regulate supply air. Except for the 3582NS, the
filter regulator can be mounted on the positioner. For
the 3582NS the regulator can be mounted on the
mounting plate with the positioner but not on the
positioner. The supply pressure should be high
enough to permit setting the regulator 0.3 bar (5 psi)
above the upper limit of the appropriate pressure
range, for example: 1.4 bar (20 psig) for a 0.2 to 1.0
bar (3 to 15 psig) range. However, do not exceed the
maximum allowable supply pressure of 3.4 bar (50
psig) nor the pressure rating of any connected
equipment.
Connect the nearest suitable supply source to the
1/4 NPT IN connection on the filter regulator (if
furnished) or to the 1/4 NPT SUPPLY connection on
the positioner block assembly.
Output Connection
A factory mounted valve positioner has the valve
positioner output piped to the supply connection on
the actuator. If mounting the valve positioner in the
field, connect 3/8-inch tubing between the 1/4 NPT
valve positioner connection marked OUTPUT and
the actuator supply pressure connection. Connect
the valve stem position transmitter connection
marked OUTPUT to an instrument that indicates
valve stem position.
Instrument Connection
For a 3582 pneumatic valve positioner connect
3/8-inch tubing from the control device to the 1/4
NPT INSTRUMENT connection. If the control device
is mounted on the control valve assembly by the
factory, this connection is made.

Figure 7. Typical Dimensions and Connections
The 3582i electro-pneumatic valve positioner
requires a 4-20 milliampere DC current input signal
from the control device. A 1/2 NPT conduit
connection is provided for properly wiring electrical
installations. For more information, see the electrical
connections section.
Diagnostic Connections
To support diagnostic testing of
valve/actuator/positioner/accessory packages,
special connectors and hardware are available. The
hardware used includes 1/8 NPT connector bodies
and body protectors. If the diagnostic connectors are
ordered for a positioner with gauges, 1/8-inch stems
are also included.
Install the connectors on the 3582 block assembly or
582i housing as shown in figure 8. Before installing
the connectors on the positioner, apply sealant to
the threads. Sealant is provided with the diagnostic
connections and hardware.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
could result from fire or explosion of
accumulated gas if a flammable gas is
used as the supply pressure medium
and the positioner/actuator is in an
enclosed area. The positioner/actuator
assembly does not form a gas-tight
seal, and when the assembly is
enclosed, a remote vent line, adequate
ventilation, and necessary safety
measures should be used. For leakage
rates, see the Maximum Steady-State
Air Consumption specification. A
remote vent pipe alone cannot be
relied upon to remove all hazardous
gas. Vent line piping should comply
with local and regional codes and
should be as short as possible with
adequate inside diameter and few
bends to reduce case pressure
buildup.
WARNING
3582i does not meet third party
approvals for use with natural gas as
the supply medium. Use of natural gas
as the supply medium can result in
personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
CAUTION
When installing a remote vent pipe,
take care not to overtighten the pipe in
the vent connection. Excessive torque
will damage the threads in the
connection.
The vent opening at the back of the case marked
VENT should be left open to prevent pressure
buildup inside the case and to provide a drain hole
for any moisture that might collect inside the case.
The perforated section of the nameplate normally
covers this opening to prevent blockage from debris
or insects. Also, ensure the exhaust holes in the
relay (key 32 in figure 20) are kept open.
If a remote vent is required, the vent line must be as
short as possible with a minimum number of bends
and elbows. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT internal.
Use 3/8-inch or larger tubing to provide a remote
vent. The 582i has a 1/4 NPT internal vent
connection. Use optional remote vent 83L relay for
remote vent applications.

582i Converter Installation
Note
Contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office for
application information before
upgrading an existing 3582 valve
positioner by field installation of a 582i
electro-pneumatic converter.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden
release of process pressure. Before
mounting the 582i converter:
DAlways wear protective clothing,
gloves, and eyewear when performing
any maintenance operations.
DDo not remove the actuator from
the valve while the valve is still
pressurized.
DDisconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure or a control
signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or
close the valve.
DUse bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
valve from process pressure. Relieve
process pressure on both sides of the
valve.
DVent actuator loading pressure.
DUse lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the
equipment.
DDo not open when an explosive
dust atmosphere is present.
DCheck with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
Note
Before planning to retrofit an installed
3582 positioner, refer to the positioner
mounting plate illustrations shown in
figure 5. Mounting plates with a
three-hole mounting pattern
(positioner to mounting plate) cannot
support a 582i converter. Do not
attempt to mount a 582i converter on
an existing 3582 positioner which has
a three-hole mounting pattern.
Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, and
release pressure from both sides of the valve body.
Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above
measures stay in effect while you work on the
equipment.
If a 3582 pneumatic valve positioner has previously
been installed using a mounting plate with a
five-hole mounting pattern (positioner to mounting
plate), either at the factory or in the field, it can be
upgraded to a 3582i electro-pneumatic valve
positioner by installation of a 582i converter. To
install a 582i converter, refer to the following
instructions.
Note
Inspect the existing valve positioner to
determine the input signal range. If the
input signal range is not 0.2 to 1.0 bar
(3 to 15 psig), refer to the appropriate
sections of this manual describing
input signal ranges and how to change
the range spring.
1. Inspect the positioner mounting plate. Be certain
that five screws fasten the positioner to the mounting
plate. Two additional screws fasten the plate to the
actuator.
When the positioner is correctly attached to the
mounting plate, proceed with the installation by
taking the control valve/actuator/positioner package
out of service.
2. Properly vent the actuator loading pressure and
the supply pressure. Disconnect the pressure tubing
connections to the valve positioner.

3. Remove the two screws (key 105 in figures 24
or 25) holding the bypass block (key 34A in figures
24 or 25) to the valve positioner case and remove
the bypass block. Save the screws to reattach the
582i converter.
4. Remove and discard the existing gasket (key 104
in figures 24 or 25) between the bypass block and
valve positioner case.
5. Unpack the 582i converter to be installed.
6. Position the new gasket on the 582i converter as
shown in figure 26. Insert the existing screws (key
105 in figures 24 or 25) through the appropriate
holes in the 582i converter housing and new gasket.
7. Mate the converter and new gasket to the side of
the valve positioner case using the alignment pins
on the converter housing.
8. Tighten the screws.
9. Reconnect the pressure connections according to
the instructions given in the pressure connections
section of this manual.
10. Make the electrical connections according to the
instructions given in the electrical connections
section of this manual.
11. Complete the standard calibration procedure
described in the calibration section of this manual.
12. Return the control valve package to service.
Operating Information
Instructions for setting the zero and span are found
in the calibration section.
Valve Positioner Cam Information
Note
The small arrow on the valve
positioner cam must point in the
direction of stem movement with
increasing actuator diaphragm
pressure. If the arrow is pointing in the
wrong direction, remove, reverse, and
re-install the cam. Refer to the
Changing Cam Position section of this
manual.
Refer to figure 20 for key number locations. Unhook
the spring (key 38), and remove the cam bolt and
locking nut (keys 6 and 45). Remove the cam (key 4)

Then, tighten the locking nut against the spring
retainer bracket. Hook the spring into the spring
retainer bracket.
When shipped from the factory, 3582 valve
positioners and the 3582i valve positioner have a
linear cam, Cam A, installed in the operating
position. Two characterized cams, Cams B and C,
are available. These characterized cams may be
used to modify the valve flow characteristics.
Figure 12 shows resultant stem travel due to an
incremental instrument pressure change for each
cam. In figure 12, the curves are based on 60
degrees cam rotation for 100 percent stem travel. At
50 percent of the input signal span, for example, the
stem will travel 50 percent with cam A, 68 percent
with cam B, and 32 percent with cam C. Figure 13
shows how the flow characteristics change when
using the cams with a valve that has equal
percentage characteristics. Figure 14 shows how the
flow characteristics change when using the cams
with a valve that has linear characteristics.
