Model T6000 Electro-Pneumatic Pressure Transducer from Rotork Fairchild

Rotork Fairchild Model T6000 Electro-Pneumatic Pressure TransducerT6000 compact size E/P, I/P pressure transducer is a field-reversible unit that provides an output directly or inversely proportional to the input signal. Its six available output pressure ranges and six available input signal ranges meet most process and machine requirements. The T6000 series is designed for precision applications, providing maximum versatility.

Operating Principles

Standard Range

The T6000 Series is an electro-pneumatic device that converts a DC input signal to a pneumatic output. This device is made up of two sections, the Primary Converting Section and the Pneumatic Relay Section. The coil and suspension spring, in the Primary Converting Section, is used as a flapper. Together, the flapper and nozzle work to control the signal pressure. The signal pressure acts on the upper control diaphragm, in the Pneumatic Relay Section, which sets the output pressure. The output pressure is sensed by the lower control diaphragm in the Pneumatic Relay Section, which maintains the output pressure.

Extended Range

The Extended Unit is made up of three sections: the Primary Control Section, the Pneumatic Relay Section, and an additional Pneumatic Relay Section. The additional Relay Section is used to amplify the output pressure.

Model T6000 Electro-Pneumatic Pressure Transducer Q & A

+ What exactly does the T6000 transducer do — and what are its input and output signals?
The T6000 is an electro-pneumatic (I/P or E/P) transducer: it converts an electrical input (e.g., DC current or voltage) into a proportional pneumatic output pressure. It offers six available input signal ranges and six possible output pressure ranges — giving flexibility to match most process or machine requirements.
 
+ Is the T6000 suitable for harsh or outdoor industrial environments (e.g., explosion-hazard zones, dusty/wet areas)?
Yes — the T6000 is available with an explosion-proof (or dust/ignition-proof) enclosure rated NEMA 4X / IP65 (also listed in IP66 by some distributors), suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its compact size helps when installation space is limited, and its robust enclosure helps ensure reliability in demanding industrial settings.
+ Can I reverse the output behavior (direct vs inverse) depending on my control logic?
Yes — one of the key features of the T6000 is that it is field reversible. That means you can configure it to provide output pressure directly proportional to the input signal (direct-acting), or inversely proportional (reverse-acting), depending on your control requirements.
 
+ What are the mechanical/mounting options and constraints — e.g., for tight spaces, manifold mounting, piping configurations?
The T6000 is designed for versatility: its modular construction allows mounting in manifold configurations (3, 5, 10, or 15 units) as well as single-unit mountings on rack, wall, pipe, panel, or DIN rail. Also, its compact size makes it a good choice where space is restricted. Input and output pneumatic ports are provided on both the front and the bottom — simplifying pneumatic piping layouts and installation flexibility. 
 
 
+ What level of accuracy and performance can I expect (linearity, supply-pressure effect, operating conditions)?

According to distributor datasheets, the T6000 delivers independent linearity in the range of approximately 0.5% to 1.0%. It is built for stable, precision applications, with design elements (like its pneumatic relay and flapper/nozzle control) that help maintain consistent output.

For the operating environment, typical specifications include ambient / process-temperature ranges and supply-pressure effect tolerances (changes in supply pressure may modestly affect output, depending on the selected output range).
