IPF
Page 1
Introduction
The field-mount version of Moore Industries’ Current-
to-Pressure Transmitter enclosed in an all-weather,
thermoplastic housing is called the IPF. It is a
rugged, two-wire transmitter whose design meets the
specifications for several types of water- and dust-
tight, and corrosion-resistance certifications. The
material used in the unit’s housing makes it ideal for
use under even the most arduous of environmental
conditions.
This manual contains the descriptive and instruc-
tional information needed to install, operate, and
maintain the IPF. It includes a brief explanation of
the unit model number, a table of its performance
and operational specifications, instructions for
calibration, information on installation and mainte-
nance procedures, and checklist of troubleshooting
recommendations.
Appendix A consists of information on instrument-
quality air and filtration, essential for optimum IPF
performance and reliability.
Notes and Cautions, where they appear in text or
illustrations, are used to call attention to practices
that otherwise may result in inconveniences for the
user (Notes) or damage to the IPF (Cautions).
Description
The IPF is used to effect changes in pneumatic
throughput pressure in a process loop. These
changes are proportional to, and based upon,
changes in a standard, process current input to the
unit. There are two options for input (current), and
eight for output (pressure).
The IPF housing is constructed of rugged, all-
weather, polyetherimide thermoplastic. It is designed
to meet the specifications of several third party,
industrial certifying agencies.
Contact your Moore Industries Sales Representative
for the most current list of IPF certifications and
approvals.
The unit has two electrical conduit dimension op-
tions; a 1/2-inch by 14 NPT female port (WP and
WPP) , and an M20 x 1.5 metric female port (WPM
and WPMP). Pneumatic connection fittings are
female, 1/4-inch by 14 NPT, standard.
NE-Type Units.
IPF’s equipped with the NE Option
have a separate, external enclosure attached to the
main unit housing. This enclosure contains the
terminals for the connection of process current input.
The IPF can be installed in a surface-mount configu-
ration (WP or WPM), or, with the optional hardware,
on 2-inch pipe (WPP and WPMP). The symmetrical
arrangement of the mounting holes in the base of the
unit housing provides for mounting on either horizon-
tal or vertical piping.
The IPF housing affords the unit excellent protection
against shock, vibration, and corrosion. The unit is
also inherently immune to radio frequency and
electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI).
Options
There are several options available for the IPF. The
following list provides an overview. A complete list,
including information on available mounting hard-
ware and more data on the current IPF approvals
and certifications, is available from your Moore
Industries Sales Representative, or directly from the
factory.
FR1 Option –
Coalescing Filter/Regulator w/Integral
Gauge. Maximum 4 scfm flow at 90 psig inlet
pressure. Removes particulate matter down to 0.01
micron in size. Scaled in 0-60 pounds per square
inch (psi) and 0-4 bars.
TF1 Option –
Plastic Tube Fitting. For use with 1/4-
inch (O.D.) tubing. Option not available with FR1.
Table 1 lists the performance and operational
specifications for the IPF.
