Economical and reliable electrical conversion to pressure
The ControlAir Type 500X converts a current or
voltage input signal to a linearly proportional pneumatic output pressure. This versatile instrument is designed for control applications that require a high degree of reliability and repeatability at an economical cost. Optional NEMA 4X (IP65) version allows for splashdown and outdoor installation. Typically, these units are used for applications that require the operation of valve actuators, pneumatic valve positioners, damper and louver actuators, final control elements, relays, air cylinders, web tensioners, clutches, and brakes. Industries that utilize the Type 500X include Petrochemical, HVAC, Energy Management, Textile, Paper, Paper Converting, Food and Drug.
Features • Low Cost • Integral Volume Booster • Compact Size • Low Air Consumption • Flexible Zero & Span Adjustments • Standard Process Inputs • Split Ranging Type 500X Low Cost. Compact. Reliable.
The Type 500X is available in two different versions. The
lower range model is designed for standard process control Magnet applications which typically utilize a 3 to 15 psig output. The extended range unit provides up to 120 psig output for higher Coil Flexure pressure industrial pneumatic and process control system requirements. Circuit Board
Principle of Operation Nozzle
The Type 500X Transducer is a force balance device in
which a coil is suspended in the field of a magnet by a Fixed flexure. Current flowing through the coil generates axial Orifice
movement of the coil and flexure. The flexure moves
towards the nozzle and creates back pressure which acts as a pilot pressure to an integral booster relay. Input signal increases (or decreases for reverse acting) cause proportional output pressure increases. Exhaust Supply Valve Valve
Zero and Span are calibrated by turning adjust screws on
the front face of the unit. Adjustment of the zero screw repositions the nozzle relative to the flexure. The span adjustment is a potentiometer that controls the amount of current through the coil.
NEMA-4X (IP65) Enclosure Pilot Pressure

Mounting The Type 500X may be mounted by pipe, panel, or bracket. Field adjustment of the zero may be required if Hazardous Area Classification position is changed. High external vibration may cause Factory Mutual (FM) Approval output fluctuations. Mounting in a vibration-free area is Standard feature for 4-20mA units recommended.
