Availability: In stock
Specification
Available Configurations:
  • Electro‐pneumatic signal transducer with
    explosion‐proof case and cover
    The 546 can be ordered with or without a Fisher 67
    filter regulator. A 51 mm (2 inch) circular supply
    pressure gauge may be mounted on the regulator.
Input Signals
  • 4 to 20 mA DC
  • 10 to 50 mA DC,
  • 1 to 9 VDC,or
  • two‐way split range using any half of one of the
    standard input signal spans

    with transducer output signal piped to a typical
    instrument bellows with 305 mm (12 inches) of 1/4
    inch tubing
  • Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Tested per IEC 61326‐1 (Edition 1.1). Meets emission levels for Class
    A equipment (industrial locations) and Class B
    equipment (domestic locations). Meets immunity
    requirements for industrial locations
Electrical Classification

Description
Fisher® 546

Fisher® 546 transducers receives a direct-current input signal and use a torque motor, nozzle-flapper, and pneumatic relay to convert the signal to a proportional pneumatic output signal. Nozzle pressure, which operates the relay, is also piped to the torque motor feedback bellows. This provides a comparison between input signal and nozzle pressure and corrects errors in nozzle pressure.

  • Vibration Resistance—High natural frequency of torque motor moving parts results in negligible vibration influence. Also meets typical seismic requirements for nuclear service.
  • Easy Adjustment—Screwdriver adjustments for span and zero are conveniently located and have arrows indicating rotation to increase settings.
  • Field-Reversible Action—No additional parts required to reverse action of 546 or 546NS; 546S versions cannot be reversed in the field but can be purchased either direct or reverse acting.
  • Simple Relay Removal—Integrated pneumatic relay is mounted outside case and can be removed without disturbing electrical or pressure connections or impairing explosion safety.
