Supply Pressure
(1)
Minimum Recommended: 0.3 bar (5 psig) higher
than maximum actuator requirements
Maximum: 10.0 bar (145 psig) or maximum pressure
rating of the actuator, whichever is lower
Supply Medium
Air or natural gas
Air: Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets
the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01.
Natural Gas: Natural gas must be clean, dry, oil‐free,
and noncorrosive. H

S content should not exceed 20
ppm.
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.
Output Signal
Pneumatic signal, up to full supply pressure
Minimum Span: 0.4 bar (6 psig)
Maximum Span: 9.5 bar (140 psig)
