FISHER™ 3710 & 3720 Positioners

3710 Pneumatic Positioners/3720 Electropneumatic Positioners can be used with either diaphragm or piston rotary actuators. These positioners provide a valve ball or disk position for a specific input signal. The 3710 provides a valve position in response to a pneumatic input signal. The 3720 is created by the addition of a FISHER 3722 electro-pneumatic converter to the 3710 positioner. The positioner provides a valve position in response to a DC current input signal. Either type can easily be configured as single- or double- acting for rotary actuators.

Main Features
  • Accurate, Fast Response—3710 and 3720 positioners use field-proven spool valve technology for a simple design that gives accurate, fast-responding operation with high cycle life. These positioners are able to withstand the severe vibrations of most plant environments.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Construction with Air Purge—Case, components, and gasket materials withstand harsh environments. Proven engineered resins and 300 Series stainless steel construction is used throughout each unit. Die castings are low copper aluminum alloy to maximize corrosion resistance. Positioner bleed air purges internal positioner parts. As an option with some FISHER actuators, bleed air also purges the actuator housing for additional protection. 
  • Extended Temperature Capability—With EPDM O-rings and input module diaphragm, 3710 and 3720 positioners can be used in low-temperature and high-temperature applications.
  • Meets Special Application Requirements— 3710 and 3720 positioners with EPDM O-rings and input module diaphragm can be used in applications with special material requirements as in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco processing. - Easy Positioner Adjustments—With the cover removed, all internal components are easily accessed. Zero and span adjustments are made by hand with no tools required.
  • Stable Operation—Changes in supply pressure and ambient temperature have minimal effect on positioner operation.
  • Control Valve Diagnostic Testing Capability—To support diagnostic testing of valve/actuator/positioner packages, connectors, piping, and other hardware can be installed between the 3710 positioner and the actuator.
  • Valve Position Indicator—Standard, low-profile indicator or optional, beacon-style indicator mount easily to the positioner cover.
