in obtaining actuator or control valve instruction
manuals.
Do not install, operate or maintain a 3610J or 3620J
Series positioner without first Dbeing fully trained
and qualified in valve, actuator and accessory
installation, operation and maintenance, and D
carefully reading and understanding the contents of
this manual. If you have any questions about these
instructions, contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office.
Description
3610J or 3610JP pneumatic positioners and 3620J
or 3620JP electro-pneumatic positioners are used
with diaphragm rotary actuators and piston rotary
actuators as shown in figure 1. 3611JP and 3621JP
positioners are used with 585, 585R, 585C, or
585CR sliding stem actuators as shown in figure 2.
The positioner mounts integrally to the actuator
housing and provides a valve ball, disk, or plug
position for a specific input signal. The positioner
accepts either a pneumatic or milliampere input
signal. Refer to the Type Number Description for a
detailed explanation of type numbers.

Installation
Normally, a positioner is shipped with the actuator. If
so, the factory mounts and calibrates the positioner
and connects the positioner to actuator tubing. If the
positioner is ordered separately from the actuator,
perform the appropriate mounting procedure, and
follow the Calibration procedures in this instruction
manual. Refer to the appropriate instruction manuals
for actuator and valve mounting procedures.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden
release of process pressure. Before
mounting the positioner:
DAlways wear protective clothing
gloves, and eyewear when performing
any installation operations to avoid
personal injury.
DWhen installing 3620J Series
positioners in a hazardous area, turn
off control signals until installation is
complete. Be sure all safety barriers,
connections, and the converter
housing cap and O-ring are properly
installed before applying a control
signal to the unit.
DIf installing into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section.
DCheck 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 preventive measures are
not taken. Preventive measures may
include: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources.
3620J, 3620JP, 3621JP positioners and
the 3622 electro-pneuamtic converter
do 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.
Special Instructions for “Safe Use” and
Installation in Hazardous Locations
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.
