Type 900 - Miniature I/P, E/P Transducer for Electronic Air Pressure Control

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Type 900X Miniature I/P, E/P Transducer is designed for electronic air pressure control, converting electrical signals to proportional pneumatic outputs. It features closed-loop pressure feedback for precise and stable pressure outputs, making it suitable for demanding applications.
Key Features
  • Electronic closed-loop feedback minimizes effects of vibration, mounting position, temperature, and supply pressure.
  • Compact size suitable for high-density mounting.
  • Easy wiring with multiple connection options.
  • Flexible pneumatic connections with input/output ports on front and back.
  • Field selectable outputs, RFI/EMI protection, and supply pressures up to 130 psig.
  • Intrinsic safety approvals for 4-20mA units, including FM, CSA, and optional ATEX.
Principles of Operation
The transducer uses a bimorph piezo actuator encapsulated in a protective skin to control pilot pressure via a nozzle. The output pressure is measured and fed back to the circuitry, which self-corrects to maintain accuracy despite environmental variations.
Performance Specifications
  • Accuracy, hysteresis, and repeatability: ±0.10% of span.
  • Deadband: 0.02% of span.
  • Vibration effect: Less than ±1.0% of span under specified conditions.
  • Temperature effect: ±0.045%/°F (0.07%/°C) of span.
  • RFI/EMI effect: Less than 0.5% of span change per EN 61000-4-3:1998.
Functional Specifications
  • Standard and high output ranges with various input signals (4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC, etc.).
  • Supply pressure ranges from 22 to 130 psig.
  • Low air consumption and high flow capacity for efficient operation.
  • Operating temperature limits from -40° to +158°F.
Applications
The Type 900X is used in controlling valve actuators, pneumatic valve positioners, air cylinders, and more. It is applicable in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, food processing, HVAC, and automated assembly.
Physical Specifications
  • Port sizes: Pneumatic 1/4" NPT, Electric 1/2" NPT.
  • Media: Clean, dry, oil-free air filtered to 40 microns.
  • Mounting options: Wall, panel, pipe, or DIN rail.
  • Enclosure: NEMA 4X (IP65).
  • Materials: Chromate-treated aluminum housing with epoxy paint, stainless steel trim.
Options and Accessories
  • Type 925 Multifunction Manifold for common air supply to multiple units.
  • Various mounting kits and accessories available for customization.
Safety and Approvals
Includes intrinsic safety approvals for hazardous areas, with specific classifications and entity parameters detailed for different connection types.
Warranty
Products are warranted to be free from defects for eighteen months from the date of sale, with liability limited to repair, refund, or replacement.

Type 900 - Miniature I/P, E/P Transducer for Electronic Air Pressure Control-1

Type 900X Miniature I/P, E/P Transducer for Electronic Air Pressure Control Self-correcting to maintain precise control The Type-900X I/P, E/P transducer converts an electrical signal (current or voltage) to a proportional pneumatic output. Utilizing closed-loop pressure feedback circuitry, it provides precise, stable pressure outputs to final control elements. Immunity to vibration effects or mounting position, high tolerance to impure air, and low air consumption make this unit ideal for demanding applications. The compact housing, accessible ports and easy adjustments make it perfect for constrained spaces. An integral volume booster provides high flow capacity, increasing control speed in critical applications. Features •Electronic Closed-loop Feedback Minimizes effects of vibration, mounting position, temperature and supply pressure •Compact Size Great for high density mounting •Easy Wiring Conduit, terminal block or DIN 43650 connections •Input/Output Ports on Front and Back Provides flexible pneumatic connections •Other Features Field selectable outputs (optional), field reversible, RFI/EMI protection, external orifice, supply pressures up to 130 psig •Intrinsic Safety Approvals Standard feature for 4-20mA units: Factory Mutual (FM), Canadian Standards Assoc. (CSA) Optional feature for 4-20mA units: ATEX Available with zero-based ranges
