Product Bulletin62.3:4200D200357X012April 20094200 Series TransmitterFisher 4200 Series Electronic PositionTransmittersFisher 4200 Series electronic position transmitters(figure 1 and 2) combine field-proven electronic andmechanical expertise in a versatile, accurateinstrument that senses the position of a device, andsends a standard (4-20 mA) output signal to anindicating device. The instrument is available as atransmitter with integral high and low electronictravel limit alarms, as a transmitter only, or withelectronic travel limit alarms only.The instrument can sense the position of rotary orsliding-stem valves, vents, dampers or otherdevices. When the instrument is mounted, apotentiometer shaft is mechanically connected to thedevice to sense mechanical motion. For a standardinstrument, a single potentiometer is provided forposition input or an optional dual elementpotentiometer is available to allow independentelectrical operation of the transmitter and alarmcircuits.The instrument has standard, or long-stroke (seefigure 5), capabilities for sliding-stem actuatorapplications. For long-stroke applications, amulti-turn potentiometer attached to a traveltransducer assembly is used to sense linear motionof the actuator stem or other devices. Theinstrument with standard capabilities can also beused on quarter-turn actuators.For instruments equipped with electronic travel limitalarms, individual electronic high and low alarmcircuits drive separate high and low alarm SPDTrelays. The user adjusts the trip point and deadbandof the high and low alarms to the desired travellimits. When the sense potentiometer voltage ishigher than the high trip point, the electronic highalarm circuit de-energizes the high alarm relay.When the sense potentiometer voltage is lower thanthe low trip point, the low alarm circuit de-energizesthe low alarm relay. The low trip point may be offsetfrom the high trip point by as little as 5% of theremaining span. In the event of a power loss to thealarm circuits, both alarms are tripped (both relaysare de-energized). This indicates a system failurebecause the actuator cannot be physically at bothtravel limits simultaneously. The relay contacts areisolated from the transmitter and alarm circuits.W9274W966/ILW4271−1/ILFigure 1. Fisher 4200 Series TransmitterFigure 2.

Zero position is the range of values over which the transmitter zero can be adjusted. Span is the range of shaft rotation or stem travel the transmitter span can be adjusted. Forexample, a zero position of 45 degrees and a span of 15 degrees means the transmitter output is 4 mA DC after 45 degrees of shaft rotation. The output then increases from 4 mA DC to20 mA DC as the shaft rotates from 45 to 60 degrees.2. Refer to figure 6 for location of connections.3

Fisher 4210 Transmitter Details Easy Maintenance—The simple design of thetransmitter and alarms allows easy maintenance.The high reliability of the instrument requiresminimum spare parts inventory. Moisture Resistant—The field wiringcompartment is isolated from the electroniccompartment. This protects the electronic circuitsfrom any moisture brought into the housing via thefield wiring ports. Field Reversible Action—The output is easilyreversed in the field simply by switching twopotentiometer leads on the printed wiring board. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)Filters—Filters between the electronic compartmentand the field wiring compartment of the housing helpprovide protection against electromagneticinterference.ApplicationsStandard Position TransmitterSliding-Stem Valve—In typical valve applications,the transmitter is mounted on the actuator as shownin figure 1. Two linkage configurations sense up to51 mm (2 inches) or up to 105 mm (4.125 inches) ofstem travel. The linkages incorporate mechanicalgearing to linearize the transformation from linearmotion to rotational. To reduce the possibility ofphysical damage if the linkage should slip, thepotentiometer has no physical stops. Zero and spancan be adjusted as follows: Zero—Between 0 and 51 mm (2 inches) oftravel, or between 0 and 105 mm (4.125 inches) oftravel. Span—Between 9 mm (0.3 inch) minimumspan and 51 mm (2 inches) maximum span, orbetween 17 mm (0.6 inch) minimum span and 105mm (4.125 inches) maximum span.Rotary-Shaft Valve—In typical valve applications,the transmitter is mounted on the actuator as shownin figure 2. A coupling connects the hub of theactuator to the potentiometer shaft. To reduce thepossibility of physical damage if the coupling shouldslip, the potentiometer has no physical stops. Zeroand span can be adjusted as follows: Zero—Between 0 and 90 degrees of shaftrotation. Span—Between 15 and 90 degrees of shaftrotation.Other Devices—The transmitter is mounted suchthat the potentiometer shaft or linkage aligns with themotion of the device. The motion of the deviceshould not exceed the zero and span input signallimits in degrees of rotation.5

Product Bulletin62.3:4200April 20094200 Series TransmittersOther Devices—The transmitter is mounted suchthat the travel transducer aligns with the motion ofthe device to allow straight retraction of the cable tothe transducer. The motion of the device should notexceed the zero and span limits in mm (inches).3. Valve body design.4. Other applicationsInstallationField wiring is inserted into one of the ports andconnected to the terminal blocks mounted on theprinted wiring board in the field wiring compartment.The instrument with transmitter circuits and travellimit alarms, and the instrument with alarms only (notransmitter circuits), use terminal blocks numbered1, 2, and 3 (see figure 4) on the printed wiring board.These terminal blocks are accessible when the fieldwiring compartment cover is removed. Theinstrument with transmitter circuits only (no alarms)uses a barrier strip mounted in the field wiringcompartment without the printed wiring board.Dimensions of the transmitter housing are shown infigure 5. Mounting dimensions are shown in figure 6.Ordering InformationWhen ordering, specify:1. Transmitter type number.2.
