1. DESCRIPTION and INSTALLATION
1.1 Description
1.1.1 The Omega IP710 converts a current input signal to a linearly proportional pneumatic output pressure. This unit
utilizes a closed loop pressure feedback system that closely controls output and compensates for vibration,
mounting angle, temperature and supply pressure variations. The control mechanism is a piezoceramic actuator.
The unique properties of this actuator protect it against moisture and breakage associated with similar competi-
t
ive technologies.
1.2 Principle of Operation
1.2.1 The IP710 transducer is a force balance device in which the piezo actuator is positioned in relation to a nozzle as the
input signal is varied. The application of an electrical signal causes axial movement of the actuator. The actuator
moves toward the nozzle and creates back pressure which acts as a pilot pressure to an integral booster relay.
1.3 Mounting
1.3.1 Each IP710 comes with a mounting kit which enables pipe, panel or wall mounting of the unit. An optional mount-
ing kit is available for DIN-rail mountings. The IP710 may be mounted at any angle.
1.3.2 Panel: With access to rear of panel, attach transducer to panel using two 10-32 screws and the two threaded
mounting holes on the back of the unit. With no access to the rear of a panel, attach bracket to transducer using
two 10-32 holes on the back of the unit and mount bracket to panel using four 10-32 screws (see figure 1).

1.3.3 In- Line: Due to it’
s light weight, the IP710 may be supported by the piping used for supply and output.

/2” Pipe: Attach bracket to transducer using two 10-32 holes on the back of unit. Place U-bolt around pipe and
through bracket. Place nuts on U-bolt and tighten (see figure 2).
