The type 170 motorised pressure regulator is an electronic pressure regulator designed for use in hazardous area valve control in the gas industry.

The regulator uses a DC stepper motor to turn a gear-driven range screw, which compresses the range spring on a type 70 precision pressure regulator.

User-adjustable limit switches prevent motor operation beyond desired pressure limits. It provides powerful speed-turning capabilities.

Ultra-slow speed provides up to 13,000 steps full-scale for super-fine DC-stepper resolution. Fast speed provides 10 s open/close operation.

Applications include: custody transfer; remote low-power valve control; fine resolution valve control; oil and gas custody transfer stations; oil and gas well-heads.

Features of the regulator include: high flow capacity; power not required for operation; explosion-proof; field adjustable limit switch.
