Emerson Introduces Electro-Pneumatic Transducer
with High Output Capacity and Rangeability
MARSHALLTOWN,
IOWA (January 26, 2005) – Emerson Process Management introduces the Fisher®
Type i2P-100 electro-pneumatic transducer that can convert various
milliamp input signals to a switch selectable proportional pneumatic
output signal for lower pneumatic supply consumption.
The transducer is approved for use with Natural Gas because of its
unique design of dual compartments that have a third-party approved
“explosive fluid seal” between the explosive/corrosive process fluid
and the module electronics.
High
Output Capacity and Rangeability-- An
integral pneumatic relay provides the high capacity necessary to drive
pneumatic control valve/actuator assemblies without additional volume
boosters or positioners. A selectable dip switch can be set for a standard
output range of 3- 15 or 6- 30 psi, and the selectable two-way split range
uses either half of the standard input signal.
Tough,
Reliable and Easy to Service--Coating the
patented plug-in converter module and encapsulating the plug-in
electronics in the transmitter provide protection and reliability in
hostile environments. The explosion proof rated housing is designed to
meet NEMA 4X, IP66 requirements. This Fisher transducer is a free-flow
pilot stage design with large internal air passages that provide excellent
tolerance to a dirty pneumatic supply by reducing the effects of
contaminant buildup and erosion. The external removable primary orifice
and replaceable 5 micron filter are easy to remove for service and
maintenance. Electronic and converter modules are contained in separate
housing compartments, isolating the electronics from the process and
allowing for easy replacement in the field for reduced maintenance costs.
Vibration
Resistance— The plug-in converter module
uses small parts of minimum mass, which are balanced symmetrically around
a pivot point at the center of the mass. This balanced arrangement, when
used in a standard valve/actuator mounted application, results in a high
performance instrument that reduces sensitivity to vibration.
