Intended use
The Type 6116 i/p Converter is used to convert a direct current input signal into a pneumatic
output signal for measuring and control tasks. The i/p converter is particularly suitable as an
intermediate element between electric measuring devices and pneumatic controllers or be-
tween electric control devices and pneumatic control valves.
The device is designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. input signal, pres-
sure). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used in operating conditions
that meet the specifications used for sizing the device at the ordering stage. In case operators
intend to use the device in other applications or conditions than specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
