GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 140 proportional I/P converter uses advanced

closed loop solid-state electronic control to achieve

accurate, high resolution pressure control. It is

available in intrinsically safe and Type n versions and

its vibration immunity and IP66 weatherproof rating

make it ideal for field application.
