Installation instructions
The installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of
devices in potentially explosive atmospheres must only be
carried out by appropriately trained personnel. Works may be
carried out only by persons, whose training has included
instructions on different types of protection and installation
techniques, concerned rules and regulations as well as general
principles of zoning. The person must possess the appropriate
competences for the type of work to be conducted.
When operating with combustible dusts, comply with
EN 60079-31.
The safety instructions for electrical apparatus in potentially
explosive areas must be in accordance with Directive
2014/34/EU (ATEX) and IEC 60079-14 (Installation of electrical
equipment in potentially explosive areas).
Comply with the applicable regulations for the protection of
employees to ensure safe operation.
Information about opening and closing the housing
DANGER
Risk of explosion if the device is operated with the housing
or terminal box open!
Before opening the housing or the terminal box, note the
following points:
• A valid fire permit must be present.
• Make sure that there is no explosion hazard.
• Switch off the power supply and wait for t > 4 minutes
before opening.
NOTICE
Adverse effect on the type of protection
Damage to the cover thread results in loss of the ‘flameproof
(enclosure) (Ex d)’ type of protection.
• Handle the cover with care.
Requirements for operation with the ‘flameproof
(enclosure)’ (Ex d) type of protection
Before installation, you must check if
the I/P signal converter fulfills the measurement and safety
requirements of the measuring point.
• When performing wiring, the parameters in the
specification and the information in the explosion
protection certificate must be complied with.
• The device may only be operated using instrument air
that is free from oil, water and dust. Flammable gases,
oxygen or oxygen-enriched gases must not be used.
Cable entries
When operating with the ‘flameproof (enclosure) (Ex d)’ type of
protection, use only cable glands with the corresponding full ‘Ex
d’ approval.
• Secure all cable entries against twisting and loosening by
using a medium-strength securing adhesive.
• When the I / P signal converter is used at ambient
temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F) or below –20 °C (–4 °F),
make sure to use cable entries and cables suitable for an
operating temperature of up to the maximum ambient
temperature plus 10 K, or for an operating temperature
down to the minimum ambient temperature.
Operating instructions
Changing the type of protection
The devices can be operated as delivered with either the
"intrinsically safe (Ex ia)" or "flameproof (enclosure) (Ex d)" types
of protection.
A device that has been operated with the "flameproof
(enclosure) (Ex d)" type of protection must no longer be
operated with the "intrinsically safe (Ex ia)" type of protection,
as the electronics may have been damaged.
For this reason the devices must be permanently marked during
commissioning (e.g. cross out or mask over "Ex ia").

3Design and function
The I/P signal converter converts standard electrical signals, e.g.
4 to 20 mA to 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi). It therefore forms a
connecting link between electrical/electronic and pneumatic
systems. The signal conversion process is similar to the
patented force balance method.
Special features of the I/P signal converter are its relatively
small dimensions and outstanding operational stability when
subjected to shock and vibration. The I/P signal converter can
be subjected to loads up to 10 g with less than 1 % effect on
function.
The housings are available in a variety of designs to meet your
installation requirements. For potentially explosive conditions,
devices offering intrinsically safe operation or with a flameproof
housing enclosure are available with international approval
certificates for use worldwide.
Various ranges can be supplied on the input side and the output
side for signal conversion (see Additional documents on
page 16).
The device requires only compressed air for the power supply.

Figure 1: Schematic structure
Force balancing takes place at the lever arm, which is mounted
with a tension band. The coil and yoke generate a magnetic field
in the air gap, which applies a force to the magnet on the lever
arm. The force changes in proportion to the current (input
signal) flowing through the coil.
A counterforce is applied on the other side of the lever arm,
through the dynamic air pressure present at the nozzle and the
flapper. The force is controlled in such a way that a balance of
the two torques is achieved. If a torque imbalance occurs, the
lever arm rotates. This rotation changes the air gap between the
nozzle and the flapper and, thus, the dynamic air pressure. Air is
permanently supplied to the nozzle through the throttle. The
converter stage takes the dynamic pressure and guides it to the
output as a 0.2 to 1 bar or 3 to 15 psi signal.
Supply air
During operation the pneumatic unit needs a steady supply of air
in accordance with the device specifications. The zero point
setting is adjusted by turning the tension band suspension, and
the range setting is adjusted via the potentiometer.
Filter
The filter prevents malfunctions caused by polluted supply air.
Note that the filter capacity is only sufficient for collecting dirt
that occurs occasionally (e.g. residual dirt in the pipe during
initial commissioning). It is no substitute for proper air
conditioning.
Special features
Special features of the I/P signal converter TEIP11, TEIP11-PS
include its relatively small dimensions and outstanding
operational stability when subject to shock and vibration. The
stability is due to the light weight (only around 100 mg) of the
moving system, which consists of the lever arm with the magnet
and the flapper with balancing weight.
Available versions
The available versions of the I/P signal converter and accessories
can be found in the data sheets. The data sheets also indicate
each item’s order number.

Control room housing unit for rail mounting
The control room housing for rail mounting is the simplest and
lowest priced version of the I/P signal converter.
A mounting base that is compatible with all commercially
available EN rails is used for installation.
The housing unit with plastic cap has an IP 20 protection rating.
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 fitted on the
connection blocks required for block mounting. If necessary, 2 or
3 (or max. 4) connection blocks can be connected to 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.
Field mount housing
The field mount housing is suited for installation on-site or in
open areas. The housing can be made from plastic with IP rating
IP 54, from aluminum with IP rating IP 65 and from stainless
steel with IP rating IP 65. The housing is suited for wall mounting
and for 2 in pipe mounting.
