Fisher™ 4660 High-Low Pressure Pilot

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Fisher 4660 High-Low Pressure Pilot is a pneumatic device used to activate safety shutdown systems in various industrial applications. It offers single or dual set point capabilities to maintain output pressure within a specified range.
Specifications: The pilot supports high-low, low-only, or high-only set point configurations. It uses a Bourdon tube to sense process pressure, with output signals ranging from zero to full supply pressure. Normal operating pressures are between 1.4 to 4.4 bar, and it is compatible with clean, dry air or natural gas.
Features: The device is safety certified for SIS applications, offers superior performance with API standard repeatability, and is cost-effective. It conforms to NACE standards, features environmental packaging, reliable operation, reduced air/gas consumption, vibration resistance, set point accuracy, easy maintenance, versatile installation, and operational indications.
Principle of Operation: The pilot connects process pressure to a Bourdon tube. Within set pressure ranges, it maintains full output pressure. If pressure deviates, it switches to block-and-bleed action, reducing output pressure.
Performance: The pilot is characterized by repeatability, set point accuracy, and a trip-to-reset zone, automatically resetting when process pressure returns to the set range.
Applications: Suitable for environments requiring close set points and API specification adherence, the pilot can be configured for single and dual outputs and process pressure lines.
Installation: Typically mounted vertically with connections facing down, it requires regulated dry air or natural gas. Mounting dimensions and connection locations are detailed in figures.
Ordering Information: Specify Bourdon tube rating and material, process fluid composition, pressure, temperature, and ambient temperature when ordering.
Product Information: The 4660 Pressure Pilot is produced by Emerson Automation Solutions, with operations in the USA, Brazil, France, UAE, and Singapore. The document serves as a product bulletin for informational purposes only.

Fisher™ 4660 High-Low Pressure Pilot-1

Product Bulletin Fisher™ 4660 High-Low Pressure Pilot The Fisher 4660 pneumatic high-low pressure pilot activates safety shutdown systems for flowlines, production vessels, and compressors. This pilot is available with either single or dual set point capability, using switch points to maintain full output pressure when the process pressure is within the set point range. If the process pressure is outside this range, the pilot switches from full output pressure to zero output pressure. The primary switching mechanism in this pilot is a block-and-bleed relay assembly. This construction can be used in both block-and-bleed and bleed-only systems. Unless otherwise noted, all NACE references are to NACE MR0175-2002. FISHER 4660 HIGH-LOW PRESSURE PILOT WITH BLOCK AND BLEED RELAY Features n Safety Certification—The 4660 is certified for use in Safety Instrumented System (SIS) applications. Certification is by exida Consulting LLC, a global provider of functional safety and control system security (see figure 1). SIS certification is identified on the product by a label affixed to the case. The functional safety assessment was performed to the requirements of IEC 61508: ed2, 2010, SIL3 for mechanical components. n Superior Performance—Repeatability meets the U.S. Minerals Management Service test tolerances referenced in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Order No. 5 and defined in the American Petroleum Institute (API) RP14C standard. n Cost-Effective Design—One pilot provides either a high-low function or a single switch point, whichever the application requires.

Process pressure is connected to the Bourdon tube sensing element. While the process pressure remains in the adjusted set ranges (between the low set point and the high set point), the flapper does not contact either set point pivot. This keeps the nozzle capped and maintains full output pressure. As the...

Product Bulletin D200051X012 SL represents the low set point and SH represents the high set point. The set range capability is 3 to 97 percent of the Bourdon tube rating. However, with a single high-low unit or a high-only/low-only pair, there is a limit on how close to each other the set points can be adjusted. This limit is defined as set point ΔPMIN and is shown as SL′ and SH′. Figure 4. Performance Characteristics TRIP-TORESET ZONE SET POINT ΔPMIN 100% Trip-to-reset is the combined effect of pilot deadband and hysteresis. After the pilot has tripped, it automatically resets when the process...
