1 Concept
The TEIP11-PS signal converter transforms electrical signals, e.g.,
4 … 20 mA in 0.2 … 1 bar (3 ... 15 psi). It is therefore a connecting 1
link between electrical/electronic and pneumatic systems. The signal
conversion process is similar to the patented force balance method. 2

Special features of the TEIP11-PS signal converter are its relatively

small dimensions and outstanding operational stability when subject
to shock and vibration. The converter can be subjected to loads up to
10 g with less than 1% effect on function.

The housing units are available in a variety of models to meet your 4 3

installation requirements. For potentially explosive conditions, units
that offer intrinsically safe operation or Explosion proof encapsulation
are available with international approval certificates for use
worldwide.

A variety of signal conversion ranges are available on the input and

output sides (see chapter Technical data, page 4) For auxiliary
power, compressed air at 1.4 bar (20 psi) may be required.

2 Designs
1 Control room housing unit for rail mounting
2.1 Control room housing unit for rail mounting 2 Control room housing unit for block mounting
The control room housing unit for rail mounting is the easiest to use 3 Plastic field housing unit
and lowest priced model in the signal converter line. A mounting base 4 Aluminum or stainless steel field housing unit
that is compatible with virtually all currently available EN rails is used
for installation. The housing unit with plastic cap has an IP 20
protection class.

2.2 Control room housing unit for block

mounting
The control room housing unit for block mounting enables you to
install a number of converters in a small space. This design features
central air supply via connection block and stop valves in the air
connectors of the integrated signal converter.

A maximum of 4 signal converters can be connected to the

connection blocks required for block mounting. If necessary, 2 or 3
(or max. 4) connection blocks can be connected with each other to
create block units of 4-8-12-16 signal converters. Stop valves allow
you to mount or remove individual converters during operation.

2.3 Field housing unit

The field housing unit is designed for installation onsite or in the field.
Housing units are available in the following models (and protection
classes): plastic (IP 54), aluminum (IP 65) and stainless steel (IP 65).
The units are suitable for wall mounting and 2"-pipe installation.

A specially designed signal converter in plastic housing unit supports

the use of combustible gas for auxiliary power instead of the standard
compressed air.
