Intended use
SAMSON'sType3730-6Positionerismountedonpneumaticcontrolvalvesandisusedtoas-
sign the valve position to the control signal. The device is designed to operate under exactly
denedconditions(e.g.operatingpressure,temperature).Therefore,operatorsmustensure
that the positioner is only used in applications where the operating conditions correspond to
the technical data. In case operators intend to use the positioner in other applications or con-
ditionsthanspecied,contactSAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
ÎRefertothetechnicaldataforlimitsandeldsofapplicationaswellaspossibleuses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
TheType3730-6Positionerisnot suitable for the following applications:

They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur-
thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Safety features
Upon failure of the air supply or electric signal, the positioner vents the actuator, causing the
valve to move to the fail-safe position determined by the actuator.
Warning against residual hazards
Thepositionerhasdirectinuenceonthecontrolvalve.Anyhazardsthatcouldbecausedin
the valve by the process medium, the signal pressure or by moving parts are to be prevented
by taking appropriate precautions. They must observe all hazard statements, warning and
caution notes in these mounting and operating instructions, especially for installation, start-
up and service work.
If inadmissible motions or forces are produced in the pneumatic actuator as a result of the
supply pressure level, it must be restricted using a suitable supply pressure reducing station.

Design and principle of operation
Thepositioneristtedwiththreebinarycon-
tacts as standard: A fault alarm output indi-
cates a fault to the control room and two
congurablesoftwarelimitswitchesareused
to indicate the end positions of the valve.
The valve position (x) is transmitted as a ei-
ther an angle of rotation or travel to the pick-
up lever and to the travel sensor (2) and sup-
pliedtoananalogPDcontroller.AnA/D
converter (4) transmits the position of the
valve to the microcontroller (5). The PD con-
troller (3) compares this actual position to the
4to20mADCcontrolsignal(reference
variable) after it has been converted by the
A/Dconverter(4).Incaseofasetpointde-
viation,theactivationofthei/pconverter(6)
is changed so that the actuator of the control
valve (1) is pressurized or vented according-
ly over the downstream booster (7). This
causes the valve plug to move to the position
determined by the reference variable (w).
The supply air is supplied to the booster (7)
and the pressure regulator (8). An intermedi-
ateowregulator(9)withxedsettingsis
used to purge the positioner and, at the
same time, guarantees trouble-free operation
of the booster. The output signal pressure
supplied by the booster can be limited by
software. Both pressure sensors (23 and 24)
monitor the supply pressure psand the signal
pressure pout.
The volume restriction Q (10) is used to opti-
mize the positioner.
3.1 Mounting versions
The positioner is suitable for the following
types of attachment using the corresponding
accessories(seesection3.5):
−Direct attachment to SAMSON

3.2 Additional equipment
Inductive limit switch
In this version, the rotary shaft of the posi-
tioner carries an adjustable tag which actu-
ates the built-in proximity switch. The option-
al inductive contact (11) is connected to A1,
while the remaining software limit switch is
connected to A2.
Solenoid valve
If the operating voltage for the solenoid
valve(12)fallsbelow12V,thesupplypres-
sure for the booster is vented to the atmo-
sphere. As a result, the actuator is vented
and the control valve moves to the fail-safe

EB 8384-6 EN 19
Design and principle of operation
position. In manual mode, the manual set
point is reset to 0%. A different manual set
point must entered again.
Forced venting
Ifthevoltagesignalatterminals+81/–82
fallsbelow12V,thei/pconverter(6)is
de-energized. The positioner vents the actua-
tor, causing the valve to move to the fail-safe
position determined by the actuator, inde-
pendent of the reference variable.
Analog position transmitter
The position transmitter (13) is a two-wire
transmitter and issues the travel sensor signal
asa4to20mAsignalprocessedbythemi-
crocontroller. Since this signal is issued inde-
pendent of the positioner’s input signal, the
momentarytravel/angleofrotationiscon-
trolled in real-time. Additionally, the position
transmitter allows positioner faults to be indi-
catedoverasignalcurrentof<2.4mAor
>21.6mA.
Leakage sensor
By upgrading the positioner with a leakage
sensor, it is possible to detect seat leakage
when the valve is in the closed position. De-

Operating Instructions uEB8389-1.
Binary input
Theoptionalbinaryinputcanbecongured:
−Toconnectaoatingcontact
−Toconnectanon-oatingcontact(0to
24VDC)
By selecting a certain function, one of the
following actions can be activated:
−Transmit switching state
The switching state of the binary input is
logged.
−Activate local write protection
Aftertherstinitialization,alocalwrite
protection can be activated.
Whilethebinaryinputisactive,noset-
tings can be changed at the positioner.
The positioner cannot be re-initialized.
EnablingcongurationoverCode3is
not active ( ).
−SwitchAUTO/MAN
The positioner changes from the auto-
matic mode (AUTO) to the manual
mode (MAN) or vice versa.
This function is not performed if the posi-
tioner is in the fail-safe position mode
(SAFE).
−Variousdiagnosticfunctions
uEB8389-1
Additionally, the external solenoid valve
functioncanbeselectedifanon-oating
contactiscongured:
−External solenoid valve
The voltage for an external solenoid
valve is connected in parallel to terminals
+31/–32.Thisallowstheswitchingstate
of the solenoid valve to be monitored.
The optional binary input can only be con-
gured using the operator software e.g.
TROVIS-VIEW. The switching state is trans-
mitted when the switch is closed by default.

Design and principle of operation
External position sensor
In this version, only the sensor is mounted to
the control valve. The positioner is located
separately from the valve. The connection of
x and y signals to the valve is established by
cable and piping for air.
3.3 Communication
The positioner is equipped with an interface
forHART®protocol (Highway Addressable
RemoteTransducer)forcommunicationpur-
poses. Data are transmitted in a superim-
posed frequency (FSK = Frequency Shift Key-
ing) on the existing signal loop for the 4 to
20mAsetpoint.
EitheraHART®capable handheld communi-
cator or a computer with FSK modem can be
used to establish communication and oper-
ate the positioner.
The HART® device revision as well as the in-
dicating and operating modules supported
by the Type3730-6 Positioner can be found
on the SAMSON website (uwww.samson.

sion' to 'Firmware' assignment).
3.4 Conguration using the
TROVIS-VIEW software
Thepositionercanbeconguredwith
SAMSON'sTROVIS-VIEWSoftware.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial
interfacetoallowtheRS-232orUSBportof
a computer to be connected to it using an
adapter cable.
TheTROVIS-VIEWsoftwareenablestheuser
toeasilycongurethepositioneraswellas
view process parameters online.
TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user inter-
face that allows users to congure and pa-
rameterize various SAMSON devices using
device-specic database modules. The de-
vice module 3730-6 can be downloaded
free of charge from our website at uwww.
samson.de > SERVICE & SUPPORT > Down-
loads > TROVIS-VIEW.
Further information on TROVIS-VIEW (e.g.
system requirements) is available on our
website and in the Data Sheet uT6661.
