Pneumatic Module<br />

Operation <strong>and</strong> <strong>Maintenance</strong><br />

Pneumatic Module<br />

The pneumatic module consists of an I/P <strong>and</strong> Relay assembly.<br />

Current-to-Pressure Converter, I/P<br />

The I/P converts a current signal to a pressure signal in the following manner. A fixed<br />

coil creates a magnetic field proportional to the applied current. The field magnetically<br />

pulls a flexure towards a nozzle to increase pressure on the flexure. The pressure on<br />

the flexure increases in response to an increase in the coil current. Encapsulation of the<br />

coil provides protection from the environment.<br />

Single Acting Pneumatic Relay<br />

<strong>SVI</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>AP</strong><br />

The single acting pneumatic relay amplifies the pressure from the I/P <strong>and</strong> increases<br />

airflow as required for stable, responsive, actuator performance. The single acting relay<br />

operates on any supply pressure that is at least 5 psi (.345 bar, 34.5 kPa) above the<br />

required actuator pressure, up to 100 psi (6.9 bar, 690 kPa).<br />
