EPC Type TransducerT6000 Electro Pneumatic Transducer
The T6000 series is built for precision applications where the same basic unit has to be installed several different ways. Its modular construction permits any basic unit to be used in explosion-proof, rack, wall, pipe, panel, DIN rail or 3, 5, 10 or 15 unit manifold configurations, and servicing or calibration stays quick and easy in all of them.
What This Model Is
The T6000 Series Electro Pneumatic Transducer is designed for precision applications providing maximum versatility. Ordering runs through a catalog number rather than a fixed part list: electrical connection, underwriting group, approval class, input range, output range and options are each a field in the code. Six output pressure ranges meet final control element requirements and six input signal ranges meet most process and machine requirements.
How It Works
Field reversibility is built in: the unit provides an output which is directly or inversely proportional to the input signal without changing hardware. RFI and EMI protection eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic and radio interference, which is what keeps a precision instrument stable next to drives and radios.

What You Get From This Model
One basic unit, seven ways to mount it
Explosion-proof, rack, wall, pipe, panel, DIN rail and manifold configurations all take the same basic unit, so the specification does not change when the location does.
Manifold blocks up to fifteen units
3, 5, 10 and 15 unit manifolds turn a wall of transducers into one assembly with one air feed.
Six inputs and six outputs on one code
4-20 mA, 10-50 mA, 1-5 V, 0-5 V, 1-9 V and 0-10 V against psig, BAR and kPa output ranges, selected by two fields in the catalog number.
Ports front and bottom
Input and output ports on both the front and the bottom of the unit simplify pneumatic piping in a rack or on a panel.
Where It Is Used
- Explosion-proof installations in classified areas
- Rack mounted instrument rooms
- Wall, pipe and panel mounting on plant structures
- DIN rail assemblies inside control cabinets
- Manifold blocks of 3, 5, 10 or 15 units
Who Orders It
- Instrument engineers building rack rooms and marshalling panels
- Plants with classified areas that want one transducer family throughout
- OEM builders fitting transducer banks into machine frames
- Contractors specifying CSA, ATEX or Factory Mutual approvals
What This Model Fixes
Every mounting location needs a different instrument
The modular construction lets one basic unit cover explosion-proof, rack, wall, pipe, panel, DIN rail and manifold installations.
Approval bodies differ between projects
The underwriting group field takes C for Canadian Standards, E for ATEX and F for Factory Mutual, so the same instrument is ordered against the approval the project needs.
A radio or a drive upsets the loop
RFI and EMI protection is part of the design rather than an add-on filter.
Calibration means dismantling
Servicing or calibration on the T6000 is quick and easy, and span and zero stay accessible in the standard builds.

- The IP65 enclosure is not available for TT or TR electrical connections and must be ordered with TJ.
Selecting Installing And Calibrating
- Build the catalog number from the leftT, then the electrical connection letter, the underwriting group, the approval class, 6000, then the input digit, the output digits and any option letter.
- Watch the approval exclusionsATEX is not available for explosion-proof units, and intrinsic safety applies to current input units only.
- Check the thread and enclosure optionsBSPT thread is not available for CSA explosion-proof units. The IP65 enclosure is not available with TT or TR electrical connections and has to be ordered with TJ.
- Pick the output unit systemOutput codes 01 to 06 are psig, 11 to 16 are BAR and 21 to 26 are kPa. Ordering in the unit system the site uses avoids a conversion error on commissioning.
How It Compares With The Alternatives
The T6000 and the TD6000 are the same series ordered with a different electrical connection: the TD6000 is the DIN 43650 build. Against the T7800 family, the T6000 is the modular, multi-mounting instrument, while the T7800 is the piezoelectric precision instrument with published ISA accuracy figures.
| Model | Distinguishing specification | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| T6000 Electro Pneumatic Transducer | Modular, seven mounting configurations | Racks, panels and manifolds |
| TD6000 Electro Pneumatic Transducer | DIN 43650 electrical connection | Plug-in terminations on the same series |
| T7800 Electro Pneumatic Transducer | Piezoelectric, 0.25% full scale accuracy | Loops specified on stated accuracy |
