Concept
The TEIP11 signal converter converts standard electrical
signals, e.g. 4 to 20 mA to 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi). It is
therefore a connecting link between electrical/electronic and
pneumatic systems. The signal conversion process is similar
to the patented force balance method.
Special features of the TEIP11 signal converter are its
relatively small dimensions and outstanding operational
stability when subject to shock and vibration. The converter
can be subjected to loads up to 10 g with less than 1% effect
on function.
The housing units are available in a variety of models to meet
your installation requirements. For potentially explosive
conditions, units that offer intrinsically safe operation or
pressure-resistant encapsulation are available with
international approval certificates for use worldwide.
Various ranges can be supplied on the input side and the
output side for signal conversion (see Specification on
page 4).
The device requires only compressed air 1.4 to 10 bar
(20 to 145 psi) for the power supply.
In order to ensure smaller dimensions and lower costs, an air
power stage is not included in the pneumatic unit.
This reduces the air capacity, meaning that the I/P signal
converter can only be used to control small-volume air
systems.

Control room housing unit for rail mounting
The control room housing for rail mounting is the simplest
and lowest priced version of the I/P signal converter.
A mounting base that is compatible with all commercially
available EN rails is used for installation.
The housing unit with plastic cap has an IP 20 protection
rating.
Field mount housing
The field mount housing is suited for installation on-site or in
open areas. The housing can be made from plastic with IP
rating IP 54, from aluminum with IP rating IP 65 and from
stainless steel with IP rating IP 65. The housing is suited for
wall mounting and for 2 in pipe mounting

Special conditions
The I/P signal converter may not be installed in areas in which
processes with very high electrostatic charges may occur.
Versions with an intrinsically safe control head may no longer
be operated as intrinsically safe if they have been previously
operated with the ‘flameproof enclosure’ type of protection
with a non-intrinsically safe power supply. The Ex designation
of the device should be updated accordingly.
The I/P signal converter is suited for use in an ambient
temperature range of –40 °C to maximum 85 °C.
If the I/P signal converter is used at an ambient temperature
above 60 °C or below –20 °C, use cable entries and cables
suited to an operating temperature that corresponds to the
maximum ambient temperature plus 10 K or that
corresponds to the minimum ambient temperature.
