Product Overview
The Dwyer 2916-E I/P transducer is designed for applications where reliable current-to-pressure conversion is required in demanding and hazardous environments. Its Series 2900 construction combines precise output control with a rugged enclosure designed for hazardous-location installations.
The transducer converts a variable 4-20 mA current signal into a proportional 6-30 psig (0.4-2.1 bar) pneumatic output. Advanced electronic feedback control helps maintain precise output while providing excellent resistance to the effects of vibration and mounting position.
The 2916-E is suitable for field mounting on valves, where vibration and installation orientation can affect conventional transducers. Its compact construction also simplifies installation and setup.
The unit provides 4.5 scfm output capacity at 25 psig supply and up to 12.0 scfm at 100 psig supply. The required air supply is at least 5 psig above the maximum output, with a maximum supply pressure of 100 psig (6.9 bar).
For convenient installation, input and output ports are provided on both the front and rear. The electrical connection is 1/2" female NPT, while the pressure connection is 1/4" female NPT.
Field calibration is straightforward using the readily accessible zero and span adjustments. The transducer provides ±0.1% of span accuracy, ±0.1% hysteresis and ±0.1% repeatability, with a specified deadband of 0.02% of span.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Dwyer 2916-E is suited for hazardous (classified) locations requiring explosion-proof and intrinsically safe I/P signal conversion.
It is particularly useful for industrial process applications where a 4-20 mA control signal needs to be converted into a 6-30 psig pneumatic signal, including valve-mounted installations where vibration resistance and mounting-position insensitivity are important.
Its precise output performance also makes it suitable for applications requiring accurate pneumatic control in demanding environments.
How to Specify & Commission It
- Confirm that the 6-30 psig (0.4-2.1 bar) output range matches the requirements of the final control element.
- Connect the 4-20 mA loop-powered input using the 1/2" female NPT electrical connection.
- Connect the air supply and pneumatic output through the 1/4" female NPT pressure connection.
- Ensure the supply pressure is at least 5 psig above the maximum output and does not exceed 100 psig.
- Use the accessible zero and span adjustments to complete field calibration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Dwyer 2916-E do?
The 2916-E converts a 4-20 mA current signal into a proportional 6-30 psig (0.4-2.1 bar) pneumatic output pressure.
Is the Dwyer 2916-E explosion-proof?
