Product Description

SAMSON Type 3730-3 HART Digital Valve Positioner – Advanced Electropneumatic Positioner

The SAMSON Type 3730-3 HART Digital Valve Positioner is an advanced electropneumatic control device manufactured by SAMSON AG, Germany. It is designed to provide accurate positioning and intelligent monitoring of pneumatic control valves in industrial process automation, chemical plants, power stations, pharmaceutical industries and manufacturing facilities.

The SAMSON 3730-3 receives a standard 4–20mA DC control signal from a PLC, DCS or process controller and converts it into the corresponding pneumatic output pressure to accurately position a connected pneumatic valve actuator.

A major advantage of the SAMSON 3730-3 is its integrated HART communication capability, which enables configuration, parameter adjustment, device monitoring and diagnostic communication through compatible HART communicators and control systems.

The positioner also features an LCD display, rotary pushbutton operation, automatic initialization and EXPERTplus diagnostic functions. Its gearless travel sensor helps reduce mechanical wear and provides reliable valve position feedback.

For industrial customers in Bangladesh, the SAMSON 3730-3 is suitable for ETP, STP, WTP, boiler automation, steam control systems, chemical processing, power generation and industrial pneumatic control valve applications.
