Declaration of SEP
Fisher Controls International LLC declares this
product to be in compliance with Article 3 paragraph
3 of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97 / 23 /
EC. It was designed and manufactured in accordance
with Sound Engineering Practice (SEP) and cannot
bear the CE marking related to PED compliance.
However, the product may bear the CE marking to
indicate compliance with other applicable EC
Directives.
NOTE: Specialized instrument terms are defined in ANSI/ISA Standard 51.1 - Process Instrument Terminology.
1. Receiver/controllers are field adjustable between direct or reverse action. If the receiver/controller is set for reverse action at the factory, an R suffix will appear in the type number. Receiver/
controllers are field‐adjustable between proportional and snap action. If the receiver/controller is set for snap action at the factory, an S suffix appears in the type number.
2. Normal m

/hr at 0°C, 1.01325 bar absolute (Scfh at 60°F, 14.7 psia).
3. The pressure/temperature limits in this document, and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
Table 2. Additional Information
Control Mode
(1)
Action (Full Output Change) Output Signal
Proportional control (2506) Proportional Band: Adjustable from 0 to 100% of transmitter signal.
0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or
0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
Snap action control
(2506S)
Snap Action: Control output is at 0 or 100% of input supply pressure. Switching depends on
position of sensor and is adjustable.
0 to 1.4 bar (0 to 20 psig) or
0 to 2.4 bar (0 to 35 psig)
Proportional‐plus‐reset
control (2516)
Proportional Band: Adjustable from 0 to 200% of transmitter signal. Recommended setting
is from 20 to 200%.
Reset: Adjustable form 0.01 to 74 minute per repeat with standard reset valve setting.
0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or
0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
Proportional‐plus‐reset
with differential relief
control (2516F)
Proportional Band: Adjustable from 0 to 200% of transmitter signal. Recommended setting
is from 20 to 200%.
Reset: Adjustable from 0.01 to 74 minute per repeat with standard reset valve setting.
Differential Relief: Provides relief when output pressure falls or when output pressure rises
depending on valve adjustment.
1. Proportional control is continuously active between 0 and 100 percent of the transmitter signal span. Differential gap provides snap action between 0 and 100 percent of the transmitter
signal. Do not use reset controllers in snap action.
