i2P-100 Transducer 62.1:i2P-100

D103197X012 August 2020

Fisher™ i2P-100 Electro-Pneumatic Transducer

The Fisher i2P-100 electro-pneumatic transducer, uses
a converter module that converts a milliampere input
to a proportional pressure output. Both the current
input and pressure output range are user-configurable
in the field. The converter module uses small parts of
minimum mass, which are balanced symmetrically
around a pivot point at the center of the mass. This
balanced arrangement results in a high performance
instrument that reduces sensitivity to vibration. REPLACEABLE
FILTER WITH
An integral pneumatic relay provides the high capacity REMOVABLE
