Product Overview
The FAIRCHILD 30242 is a precision electro-pneumatic transducer engineered to convert a variable electrical input signal (typically 4–20 mA or 0–10 VDC) into a proportional, linear pneumatic output pressure. Manufactured by Fairchild Industrial Products, a recognized name in precision pneumatic control, the Model 30242 serves as a critical signal interface within process control loops, allowing electronic controllers, PLCs, and DCS systems to command pneumatic final control elements such as control valves, dampers, and actuators. Its force-balance, closed-loop feedback design delivers stable, repeatable pressure output with minimal hysteresis, making it a dependable signal conversion component in demanding industrial environments.
