Automax 5100 I/P Transducer

Automax 5100 I/P Transducer

The Automax 5100 I/P Transducer is a high-performance current-to-pressure (I/P) module designed to deliver precise pneumatic signals for the Apex 5000 Positioner. By converting a 4-20 mA current input into a 3-15 psi pneumatic output, this transducer ensures accurate and reliable control in various industrial applications.

Key Features

• RFI Protection: Equipped with radio frequency interference (RFI) immunity, the 5100 I/P Transducer maintains signal integrity even in environments with high electromagnetic interference.
• Internal Closed-Loop Control: This feature enhances stability and accuracy by continuously monitoring and adjusting the output, making the transducer insensitive to its installed position and capable of maintaining steady output under severe vibration conditions.
• Integral Filter: An in-built filter provides initial startup protection against contaminants such as tubing scale or dirt, ensuring clean and dry air supply. Note that this filter is intended for startup protection and should not replace a permanent filtration system.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation: The transducer automatically adjusts for temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.
• Durable Construction: Housed in a robust die-cast aluminum casing with a dichromate undercoat and polyester powder top coat, the 5100 I/P Transducer is built to withstand harsh industrial environments.
• Low Power Requirement: Operating efficiently with a minimum of 6 volts DC power, it allows for series operation with other devices on 24 VDC current loops.
