TYPE 440
MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC CONVERTER

FEATURES
High precision
4-20mA feedback as standard P
U
Signal failure indicator
Failure mode selector
Functional Symbol

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Type 440 electro-pneumatic converters combine high precision pneumatic performance with input signal
versatility for use with computer and microprocessor based control systems. The type 440 converter
accepts a 4-20mA standard control signal or voltage equivalents. Standard additional features includes
4-20mA feedback, signal failure indication and selection of failure mode. These converters are intended
for applications in which conventional two wire I/P converters are inadequate.

TECHNICAL DATA
Physical
Casing Diecast zinc alloy, black stove enamel finish
Mounting Upright, integral mounting bracket (although other mounting orientations are acceptable without recalibration)
Pneumatic connections 1/4 NPT
Electrical connections Via cable glands to Klippon terminal block
Controls Trimpots - Span, zero (control and feedback), response rate Switches - Signal freeze or instrument drives
down scale, input signal selection Relay - Power/signal (isolated contact pair in relay, NC if signal and power
supply present - contact rating - 50VA)
Weight 2.5Kg
IP. Rating IP65
Temperature Stability -5C to +45C 0.03%/C FS change
(span/zero) -10C to +60C 0.05%/C FS change
