Equivalent Circuit for 3582i
The 582i converter equivalent circuit is 120 ohms,
shunted by three 5.6‐volt zener diodes
(see figure 10)
Output Signal
Type:
Pneumatic pressure as required by actuator up
to 95 percent of maximum supply
Action:
Field‐reversible between
J
direct and
J
reverse within the pneumatic valve positioner
Supply Pressure
Recommended:
0.3 bar (5 psi) above actuator
requirement
Maximum:
3.4 bar (50 psig) or pressure rating of
actuator, whichever is lower
Supply Medium:

Electromagnetic Compatibility for 582i
electro‐pneumatic converter
Meets EN 61326‐1 (First Edition)
Immunity—Industrial locations per Table 2 of
the EN 61326‐1 standard. Performance is
shown in table 3 below.
Emissions—Class A
ISM equipment rating: Group 1, Class A
Note: The electromagnetic compatibility
specifications also apply to the 3582i
3582 and 3582i
Typical Open Loop Gain (Output Signal):
J
100 in the range of 0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig)
J
55 in the range of 0.4 to 2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
Operating Influences
Supply Pressure—3582:
Valve travel changes less than
1.67 percent per bar (0.25 percent per 2 psi) change
in supply pressure
Supply Pressure—3582i:
Valve travel changes less
than 3.62 percent per bar (1.5 percent per 2 psi)
change in supply pressure
