Relay Deadband Testing (Type 2500
Controller or 2500T Transmitter Only)
1. Replace the appropriate (proportional or specific
gravity) adjustment assembly with the 1/8-inch NPT
pipe plug according to the Replacing the
Proportional Valve section.
2. Turn on the supply pressure and set it to 1.4 to
2.4 bar (20 or 35 psig), depending on the
controller/transmitter operating range.
3. By changing the process variable and adjusting
the RAISE LEVEL or ZERO ADJUSTMENT control,
set the output pressure to 1.0 or 2.0 bar (15 or 30
psig). While monitoring the output pressure, slowly
change the process variable until the output
pressure just changes, and record the value of the
process variable at the detection point.
4. Change the process variable in the opposite
direction until the output pressure just changes and
again record the value of the process variable. If the
difference between the two recorded values (the
deadband) is more than 0.2% of the maximum
displacer length, the relay must be replaced or
repaired according to the Changing Relay section.
5. Turn off the supply pressure, remove the pipe
plug, and install the appropriate adjustment
assembly.
Replacing the Proportional Valve
Note
The following procedure, to convert to
or from the pipe plug or the desired
adjustment assembly, can be used for
any type number covered in this
manual.
1. Remove the tubing (key 10) from the proportional
band valve assembly.
2. Unscrew the base of the PROPORTIONAL
BAND or SPECIFIC GRAVITY adjustment assembly
(key 36 or 90, figure 16), or the 1/8-inch NPT pipe
plug (key 73, not shown), from the relay base (key
3. Install the pipe plug or the desired adjustment
assembly into the relay base.
4. Replace the tubing (key 10) to the proportional
band valve assembly.
Changing Relay
The relay may be removed for cleaning or
replacement.
Removal
1. For a controller or transmitter with indicator
assembly, loosen the two lower relay screws (key
96) and slide out the indicator base plate (key 53).
2. Disconnect the tubing (key 10 or 11) from the
relay.
3. Remove both mounting screws, relay, and relay
gasket (keys 43, 34, and 22).
Replacement
1. Install a new gasket (key 22), the replacement
relay (key 34), and secure with two mounting screws
(key 43). On a controller or transmitter with an
indicator assembly, slide the base plate under the
two lower screws of the relay case, align the plate so
the pointer will read properly, and tighten the screws.
2. Connect the tubing (key 10 or 11) to the relay.
3. Test the relay deadband, according to the Relay
Deadband Testing procedure in this section.
4. If the deadband is within tolerance, go to the
Calibration section.
Parts Ordering
Whenever corresponding with your Emerson
Process Management sales office about this
equipment, use the controller/transmitter type
number and the serial number. The serial number is
found on the nameplate (key 215, figure 16). When
ordering replacement parts, also state the complete
11-character part number of each part required as
found in the following parts list.
Note
Use only genuine Fisher replacement
parts. Components that are not
supplied by Emerson Process
Management should not, under any
circumstances, be used in any Fisher
instrument. Use of components not
supplied by Emerson Process
Management will void your warranty,
might adversely affect the
performance of the instrument, and
might jeopardize worker and
workplace safety.
