Product Bulletin Fisherr C1 Pneumatic Controllers and Transmitters Fisher C1 controllers and transmitters continue the tradition of durable and dependable Fisher pressure instrumentation while addressing air/gas consumption concerns. The C1 is used wherever durable and dependable pressure instrumentation is required. The use of this product in demanding applications, such as those found in chemical process, gas, and oil production industries, demonstrates its versatility. The C1 can reduce steady-state air/gas consumption to as little as 1/10th that of previous products. C1 controllers compare sensed process pressure (or differential pressure) with an operator-adjusted set point, and send a pneumatic signal to an adjacent control element that maintains the process pressure at or near the set point value. C1 transmitters sense process variables and send out a pneumatic signal, usually to an indicating or recording device that directly indicates the process measurement. Unless otherwise noted, all NACE references are to NACE MR0175 / ISO15156 & NACE MR0103. FISHER C1 PNEUMATIC CONTROLLER YOKE-MOUNTED ON CONTROL VALVE ACTUATOR n Sour Service Capability—Materials are available for Features n Wide Range of Sensing Elements—A Bourdon tube is available for high pressures or bellows for vacuum and low pressures. Either kind of sensing element can be installed in the case with the controller or transmitter. Two interchangeable ranges of output bellows and gauges also are available. n Reduced Air/Gas Consumption—The C1 pneumatic controller is an energy efficient choice, helping to improve profits and uptime. Steady-state consumption rate is less than the 6 scfh requirement set for the oil and gas industry by the US Environmental Protection Agency (New Source Performance Standards Subpart OOOO, EPA‐HQ‐QAR‐2010-0505). applications handling sour process fluids. These constructions comply with the metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175 / ISO15156 & NACE MR0103. Environmental restrictions may apply. n Mounting Versatility—Install the case on a panel, wall or pipestand, as well as directly on the control valve actuator. n Reduced Maintenance Costs—A spring-out cleaning wire, shown in figure 4, provides for in-service cleaning of the relay orifice. n Proportional-Only, Proportional-Plus-Reset, and Differential Gap Configurable—The C1 controller can be configured to provide various modes of control.
