Description
The Type 4000 pneumatic valve positioner is designed
for use with System 9000 actuators. The positioner
mounts on the actuator and provides the desired valve
plug position for a specific input signal. The Type 4000
accepts a pneumatic input signal.
The positioner comes standard with gauge ports and
an O-ring sealed housing. The housing utilizes a
unique O-ring seal that can be adjusted to a sealed or
drained position.
Ease of calibration and maintenance are built into the
design with easily accessible span and zero adjust-
ment, and very simple parts replacement.
Specifications
Specifications for the Type 4000 valve positioner are
listed in table 1.
Installation
Typically, the positioner is ordered with the actuator. If
so, the factory mounts and calibrates the valve posi-
tioner. If the positioner is ordered separately from the
actuator, perform the mounting procedure. Refer to
the appropriate instruction manuals for actuator and
valve installation procedures.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden re-
lease of process pressure. Before
mounting the positioner on a valve in
service:
DDisconnect any operating lines pro-
viding air pressure or a control signal to
the actuator. Be sure the actuator can-
not 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.

Positioner Mounting
Mount the positioner on the actuator and make supply
and instrument connections. Refer to figure 14 for key
number locations. The feedback lever arm assembly
includes the lever arm, pin, nut, bolt, and flathead
screw as shown in figure 2. Depending upon how
much of the positioner is assembled, start the proce-
dure as follows:
If the positioner (key 1A) with feedback lever as-
sembly (key 1B) is already installed on the adapter
housing (key 1C), start with step 7.
If the feedback lever assembly (key 1B) is as-
sembled to the positioner (key 1A) but the positioner is
not installed on the adapter housing (key 1C), start with
step 1.
Ifthepositioner(key1A),adapterhousing(key1C),
and feedback lever arm assembly (key 1B) are not as-
sembled, start with step 4.
1. If the positioner (key 1A) comes already assembled
with the feedback lever arm assembly (key 1B), but
the positioner is not installed on the adapter housing
(key 1C), remove the feedback lever arm assembly
(key 1B) from the positioner spindle by removing the
flathead screw that holds the lever to the spindle.

Note
Mounting the positioner (key 1A) may be
easier with the adapter housing (key 1C)
removed from the actuator.
2. To remove the adapter housing (key 1C) from the
actuator, remove the two bolts shown in figure 5 and
remove the adapter housing from the actuator. Be
careful not to lose the O-ring (key 167) that goes be-
tween the adapter housing and the actuator.
3. At this point the positioner (key 1A), adapter hous-
ing (key 1C), and feedback lever arm assembly (key
1B) should all be unassembled from each other.
4. Assemble the positioner (key 1A) to the adapter
housing (key 1C) as shown in figure 3. Be sure the
O-rings are in place between the adapter housing and
the positioner, then secure the positioner to the adapt-
er housing with the four screws.
5. Attach the feedback lever arm assembly (key 1B)
to the positioner spindle with the flathead screw as
shown in figure 2.
6. At this point the positioner (key 1A), adapter hous-
ing (key 1C), and the feedback lever arm assembly
(key 1B) should be assembled together.
7. Adjust the pin on the feedback lever arm assembly
for the appropriate actuator travel. For actuators with
3/4-inch (19.1 mm) travel or less, use the 30 degree
markings. For actuator travels greater than 3/4-inch
(19.1 mm), use the 60 degree markings.
Note
The next two steps may be performed in
either order to aid in mounting the posi-
tioner to the actuator depending upon
actuator size:

screws (key 105) and washers (key 122).
10. If necessary, make minor adjustments of the feed-
back lever arm assembly pin to ensure that the feed-
back bracket and feedback lever arm assembly do not
pinch, bind, or bend during normal operation
Pressure Connections
Dimensions and connections are shown in figure 7. All
pressure connections are 1/4-18 NPT female connec-
tors. Use 3/8-inch tubing or 1/4-inch pipe for all pres-
sure connections. Gauge ports are 1/8-inch NPT fe-
male connectors.
WARNING
Valve positioners are capable of provid-
ing full supply pressure to connected
equipment. To avoid personal injury and
equipment damage, make sure the sup-
ply pressure never exceeds the maxi-
mum safe working pressure of any con-
nected equipment.

instrument air quality standards de-
scribe acceptable dirt, oil, and moisture
content. Due to the variability in nature
of the problems these influences can
have on pneumatic equipment, Fisher
Controls has no technical basis to rec-
ommend the level of filtration equipment
required to prevent performance degra-
dation of pneumatic equipment. A filter
or filter regulator capable of removing
particles 40 microns in diameter should
suffice for most applications. Use of
suitable filtration equipment and the es-
tablishment of a maintenance cycle to
monitor its operation is recommended.
The supply medium must be clean, dry air or noncor-
rosive gas that meets the requirements of ISA Stan-
dard S7.3-1975 (R1981). The supply pressure should
not exceed the following limits:
For the actuator and positioner, do not exceed
the maximum pressure rating of 100 psi (6.8 bar).
For the valve, do not exceed the maximum allow-
able thrust of the specific valve.
If a Type 67AF regulator is mounted on the actuator,
connect supply pressure to the supply connection on
the regulator. Connect the regulator output to the sup-
ply port S on the adapter housing. Gauge port S is
sealed with a plug. To install a supply gauge, unscrew
the plug and install an appropriate gauge.

Vent
WARNING
If a flammable, toxic, or reactive gas is
to be used as the supply pressure me-
dium, personal injury or property dam-
age could result from fire or explosion
of accumulated gas or from contact with
toxic, or reactive gas. The positioner/ac-
tuator assembly does not form a gas-
tight seal, and when the assembly is in
an enclosed area, adequate ventilation
and necessary safety measures should
be used.
There is no pipe fitting for remote venting. The posi-
tioner exhaust is under the actuator cover.
Operating Information
Front Cover and Indicator Cover
The positioner front cover is shown in figure 8. It is
secured to the unit with four captive screws and
sealed with an O-ring. The front cover O-ring can be
looped over notches in the front cover to allow for
drainage. There are eight locations on the front cover
where the O-ring can be looped. This unique sealing
system allows for complete sealing or draining of the
units by changing the position of the front cover O-
ring.
The indicator cover is O-ring sealed and secured by a
bayonet coupling. The indicator cover also secures the
identification cover to the front cover.
To remove the indicator cover, turn it slightly counter-
clockwise until it loosens. The identification cover and
indicator cover O-ring are now removable. When
installing the indicator cover and identification cover,
make sure that the indicator cover O-ring is properly
engaged.
Two identification covers are available: one for actua-
tor travels of 3/4-inch (19.1 mm) or less, and one for

Cam Adjustment
Refer to figure 9. With the cover and indicator re-
moved, loosen the screw and turn the cam locking nut
counterclockwise until the cam loosens.
The cam has two lobes. The 30 degree lobe is used
for actuator travels of 3/4-inches (19.1 mm) or less.
The 60 degree lobe is used for actuator travels of
greater than 3/4-inch (19.1 mm). The cam also may be
turned over. Each lobe is stamped either direct (D) or
reverse (R). Refer to table 3 for cam installation infor-
mation.
Install the cam so that the follower will ride on the cor-
rect lobe listed in table 3. For fail-open actuators, the
follower will ride on the cam lobe above the follower.
For fail-close actuators the follower will ride on the
cam lobe below the follower.
To secure the cam, make sure the screw is backed
out from the locking nut. Tighten the locking nut finger
tight then tighten the screw. Install and adjust the indi-
cator and reinstall the cover.
Indicator Adjustment
To adjust the indicator, remove the front cover and pull
the indicator upwards until it comes off the Allen
screw. Before installing the indicator make sure that
the Allen screw is tight. Press the indicator on the
screw and adjust it by rotating clockwise to the desired
position.
Calibration
Pre-calibration
Ensure that the cam is installed correctly for the ap-
propriate actuator travel and failure mode. Refer to the
“Cam Adjustment” procedure. Also ensure the pin on
the feedback lever arm assembly is positioned correct-

Refer to figure 10.
1. Remove the positioner front cover.
2. Apply supply pressure to the positioner.
3. Set the input signal to the 0% value [0%=3 psig
(0.2 bar)] and wait for the unit to reach steady state.
4. Rotate the zero adjustment until the actuator stem
is at its starting position. Zero is adjusted by turning
the silver thumb wheel located on the lower arm or
externally with a screwdriver through the zero adjust-
ment opening.
5. Slowly increase the input signal until the input
reaches the 100% value [100%=15 psig (1.0 bar)].
Observe the actuator travel and valve position as the
input increases. Note the actuator travel at 100% input
signal.
6. Set the input signal to the 0% value.
7. If necessary, loosen the locking screw and adjust
the span as follows (span is adjusted with the brass
colored thumb wheel located on the feedback spring):

If the actuator travel recorded in step 5 is short of
the desired travel at 100% input signal, rotate the span
adjustment down to increase span. Tighten the locking
screw.
If the travel recorded in step 5 reaches the de-
sired travel before the input signal reaches the 100%
value, rotate the span adjustment up to decrease
span. Tighten the locking screw.
After the span adjustment, recheck to be sure the end
of the feedback spring is not touching the spring guide.
8. After a span adjustment, recheck the zero and ad-
just if necessary.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 as necessary to achieve
correct actuator travel.
10. Replace the positioner front cover.
11. If you used the zero adjustment opening, remem-
ber to install the zero adjustment cover to ensure the
unit is sealed.
Principle of Operation
Refer to figure 11.
The pneumatic positioner operates on a force balance
principal. Force is originated by the signal pressure
transmitted through a diaphragm on to the balance
arm. The opposing force is achieved through the feed-
back spring and is proportional to the position of the
lower arm. The lower arm position is determined by
the position of the cam which is secured to the spindle

Type 4000
9
and connected to the actuator power module through
a feedback linkage, thus providing feedback from the
actuator/valve. When these two forces are equal, the
balance arm and the spool in the pilot valve is in a
neutral position—the complete unit is in a balanced
position. The pilot valve controls the air, supplied
through port S, to the actuator.
Assume an equilibrium position. An increasing control
pressure deflects the diaphragm 1to the right, com-
pressing the feedback spring 3. The balance arm 2
moves the spool 7in the pilot valve 8furnishing supply
air to the actuator.
With increasing supply air, the linear motion of the ac-
tuator stem rotates the positioner spindle 6. The
spindle and cam 5rotation forces the lower arm 4to
the left compressing the feedback spring 3. This mo-
tion continues until the two forces are equal and the
unit is in an equilibrium position.
Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden re-
lease of process pressure. Before per-
forming any maintenance operations:
Disconnect any operating lines pro-
viding air pressure or a control signal to
the actuator. Be sure the actuator can-
not suddenly open or close the valve.
Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the valve
from process pressure. Relieve process
pressure on both sides of the valve.
Drain the process media from both
sides of the valve.
Vent actuator loading pressure and
relieve any actuator spring precompres-
sion.
Use lock-out procedures to be sure
that the above measures stay in effect
while you work on the equipment.
Other than the pilot valve, repair of the positioner is by
replacement. To replace the positioner, see the Posi-
tioner Removal and Positioner Replacement sections.
To replace the pilot valve, see Replacing the Pilot
Valve. On units with gauges, to replace the gauges,
see Replacing Gauges.
Troubleshooting
Signal change has no effect on the actuator posi-
tion.
—Check indicator and screw.
—Check air supply to positioner.
—Check input signal to positioner.
—Check diaphragm for damage or leakage.
—Check pilot valve function.
—Check cam for correct setting.
Signal change results in actuator running to end
positions.
—Check coupling between positioner and actuator.
—Check cam position and locking screw.
—Check input signal.
Inaccurate positioning.
—Dirty or worn pilot valve.
—Defective or leaking diaphragm.
—Input signal fluctuates.
—Incorrect sizing of actuator.
—Valve/actuator “stiction”.
—Loose cam.
Replacing the Pilot Valve
Refer to figure 12 to remove the pilot valve for clean-
ing or inspection.
1. Shut off supply pressure to the positioner.
2. Remove the positioner front cover.
3. Remove the screw and carefully lift out the com-
plete pilot valve assembly.
4. Gently remove the spool from the block and clean
the parts, using methylate cleaner or similar. Blow the
parts dry with compressed air. If the parts show signs
of wear, replace the assembly.
Note
Mixing spool valves and valve bodies
may result in very high bleed rates and
poor performance.
