Product Description
Sher HC 3800SA

(also referred to as Emerson Gulde / Fisher Gulde 3800SA in various listings) is a high-performance, intelligent digital valve positioner designed for precise pneumatic valve control in industrial process automation. It is an electro-pneumatic device that converts a 4-20 mA DC input signal into accurate pneumatic output to position control valves reliably. This model supports HART communication protocol (indicated by "Hc" in many descriptions) for advanced diagnostics, configuration, and integration in smart control systems.

Product Overview

The Sher HC 3800SA is a compact, intelligent electro-pneumatic valve positioner from the Emerson Gulde/Fisher family. It provides accurate valve positioning with excellent linearity, fast response, and low air consumption. Built for demanding industrial environments, it offers HART protocol compatibility for remote monitoring, calibration, and predictive maintenance. With a simple setup, robust construction, and high reliability, it is ideal for optimizing control valve performance in process industries. Key highlights include 1/4" NPT pneumatic connections, 4-20 mA input, and support for single-acting actuators.

Features
  • Intelligent HART communication for diagnostics, configuration, and valve performance monitoring
  • High accuracy and linearity for precise valve positioning
  • Low air consumption for energy efficiency
  • Fast response time and minimal overshoot
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy installation on linear or rotary actuators
  • Auto-calibration and setup via local interface or HART communicator
  • Robust aluminum housing with corrosion-resistant finish
  • Fail-safe modes (fail-freeze or fail-open/close configurable)
  • Built-in position feedback (4-20 mA output available in some configurations)
  • Wide operating temperature range suitable for harsh environments

FAQ

Q: What communication protocol does the HC 3800SA support?

A: It features HART protocol (Hc designation) for digital communication alongside the 4-20 mA analog signal.

Q: Is it compatible with Fisher/Emerson control valves?

A: Yes, it is part of the Gulde/Fisher family and mounts easily on many Emerson actuators and valves.

Q: Does it require special tools for calibration?

A: Auto-setup and calibration are supported locally or via HART communicator; no special tools needed for basic operation.

Q: What is the typical air supply requirement?

A: Clean, dry instrument air at 20-100 psig; low consumption design helps reduce operational costs.

Q: Can it be used in hazardous areas?

A: Yes, variants support intrinsically safe or explosion-proof certifications (check specific model for approvals).
