Overview
The Fairchild TR6000-401 is a compact, field-reversible electro-pneumatic transducer from the T6000 series. This unit converts 4-20 mA electronic input signals into proportional pneumatic pressure output (3-15 psig), making it ideal for precision automation systems requiring robust signal conditioning. Built with an aluminum body, nitrile diaphragm, and terminal block connections, the TR6000-401 provides reliable performance in industrial process control, motion control, and fluid power applications.
