Input Signal
Type: J Gauge pressure, J vacuum,
J compound pressure, or J differential pressure
of a liquid or gas
Limits: See table 3 or 4
Output Signal
Proportional−Only or Proportional−Plus−Reset
Controllers and Transmitters:
J 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or
J 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig) pneumatic
pressure signal
Differential Gap Controllers:
J 0 and 1.4 bar (0 and 20 psig) or
J 0 and 2.4 bar (0 and 35 psig) pneumatic
pressure signal
Action: Control action is field reversible between
J direct (increasing sensed pressure produces
increasing output signal) and J reverse
(increasing sensed pressure produces decreasing
output signal).
Supply Pressure Requirements
(1)
See table 5
Supply Pressure Medium
Air or natural gas
Air Quality: Supply pressure must be clean, dry air
that meets the requirements of ISA Standard
7.0.01. A maximum 40 micrometer particle size in
the air system is acceptable. Further filtration
down to 5 micrometer particle size is
recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed
1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis.
Condensation in the air supply should be
minimized
Natural Gas: Natural gas must be clean, dry,
oil−free, and noncorrosive. H

S content should
not exceed 20 ppm.

Proportional Band Adjustment
For Proportional−Only Controllers: Full output
pressure change adjustable from J 2% to 100%
of the sensing element range for 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3
to 15 psig) or J 4% to 100% of the sensing
element range for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
For Proportional−Plus−Reset Controllers: Full
output pressure change adjustable from J 3% to
100% of the sensing element range for 0.2 to 1.0
bar (3 to 15 psig), or J 6% to 100% of the
sensing element range for 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30
psig)
Differential Gap Adjustment
For Differential Gap Controllers:
Full output pressure change adjustable from
15% to 100% of sensing element range
Reset Adjustment
For Proportional−Plus−Reset Controllers:
Adjustable from 0.01 to 74 minutes per repeat
(100 to 0.01 repeats per minute)
Zero Adjustment (Transmitters Only)
Continuously adjustable to position span of less
than 100% anywhere within the sensing element
range
Span Adjustment (Transmitters Only)
Full output pressure change adjustable from 6 to
100% of sensing element range
