ELECTRONIC/PNEUMATIC TRANSDUCER
APPLICATION
An E/P Transducer accepts a proportional voltage signal
from an electronic controller and converts it into a proportional pneumatic signal of 0.2 to 1.0 bar to operate
pneumatic actuators or reset pneumatic controllers.
The RP7517A accepts a 2...10 Vdc / 4...20 mA signal
directly from a MicroniK 100 output. The RP7517B includes
a voltage-to-current converter for use with an Excel DDC
output and Delta CPA. It may also be used in applications
where more than one transducer must be connected to one
MicroniK 100 output. The RP7517B requires an external
24 Vac power supply.
All E/P-Transducers supplied with 1 m cable

RP7517A/B ELECTRONIC/PNEUMATIC-TRANSDUCER
OPERATION
The basic operation is similar for both E/P-Transducers:
The input signal 2...10 V is fed directly to a coil on the
RP7517A or into a voltage to current converter in the
RP7517B.
The current through the coil produces a magnetic force on
the flapper. This force is balanced by the feedback force
developed by the nozzles pressure on the opposite side of
the flapper.
When the magnetic force on the flapper changes due to a
change in current, the position of the flapper over the
nozzle changes, and a new pressure is established. This
pressure is used to pilot the pneumatic amplifier, which
converts the low capacity pilot pressure to a high capacity
branch line. The operation span is fixed and the start-point
of the output signal is factory calibrated.
Both transducers are compensated to eliminate ambient
temperature influence. The transducers are protected by a
rigid plastic cover.

MOUNTING
Wall mounting with two screws 4 mm diameter (see Fig. 2).
Rail mounting using the European Standard Rail 35 x 7.5
(EN 50022) (see Fig. 3).
Mount the transducer in the vertical position ONLY with a
maximum of 5 angular degree tolerance to the
perpendicular line (see Fig. 2).

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting up the system, the following checks should
be made on the transducer:
1. Check that main line pressure is available and input
voltage is at maximum i.e. 12 Vdc.
2. Check that output pressure is at minimum, i.e.
112 kPa (1.12 bar) (RP7517A) or 120 kPa (1.2 bar)
(RP7517B).
3a. If the output pressure is within the transducer rating,
the system can be started up.
3b. If not, short out the contact pins with a screwdriver.
When this is done, the sound of discharging air should
be heard.
4. Check for correct output pressure build-up and repeat
step 3(b) if transducer does not function correctly.
