The Type-595XP Explosion-Proof Current-to-Pressure I/P Transducer (photo) is small and lightweight, yet is less sensitive to shock, vibration and position change than other I/Ps. The unit has a low power consumption and is intrinsic safe and explosion-proof, making it suitable for hazardous environments in remote locations. The conversion technology, utilizing open-loop control, provides a high level of accuracy and repeatability for the operation of actuated valves. A low mass control circuit provides reliable linear output in difficult applications. The Type-595XP transducer has an input signal of 4 – 20 mA and output ranges of 3 – 15, 3 – 27 and 6 – 30 psig. The maximum supply pressure is 22 psi for 3 – 15 output and 42 psi for other outputs. Flow capacity is 2.4 ft 3 /min, and air consumption is 0.1 ft 3 /min. — ControlAir, Inc., Amherst, N.H.
