Intended use
The Type 6126 Electropneumatic Converter is used to convert a direct current input signal in-
to a pneumatic output signal for measuring and control tasks. The electropneumatic converter
is particularly suitable as an intermediate element between electric measuring devices and
pneumatic controllers or between electric control devices and pneumatic control valves.
The input of the electropneumatic converter is a load-dependent direct current from 0 or 4
to 20 mA or a DC voltage signal from 0 or 2 to 10 V with a 24 V DC supply. The output is,
for example a pneumatic signal of 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi) or 0.4 to 2 bar (6 to 30 psi) or
special ranges up to 5 bar (75 psi).
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.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
