Table 3. Fisher 3570 Actuator Specifications
Available Configurations
3570: Valve positioner with two relays and three
pressure gauges for monitoring input signal and
output pressures to the top and underside of the
actuator piston
3570C: Similar to 3570 except that the positioner is
equipped with automotive tire valves instead of
pressure gauges. The valves can be used for clip-on
test pressures gauges. The relay nozzles on these
positioners are locked in place with locknuts to resist
unwanted nozzle movement due to vibration
Input Signal
Standard Ranges: 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or 0.4
to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
Split Ranges: Typically uses one half of standard range
when two control valves are operated by one input
signal from a single controller
Optional Ranges: As required within the limits of the
bellows
Bellows Pressure Rating
Standard Bellows: 3.4 bar (50 psig)
Optional Bellows: 6.2 bar (90 psig)
Supply Pressure
Maximum: 10.3 bar (150 psig)
Minimum: 2.4 bar (35 psig)
Output Signal
Type: Pneumatic pressure as required by the actuator
Action: Field reversible between direct and reverse
(see table 4)
