K8AC-H
A high-precision Heater Element
Burnout Detector compatible with a
wide-range of heater control methods.
• Push-in terminals reduce the workload. *1
• Scaling *1
• NPN or PNP equivalent output. *1
• Lineup includes models compatible with many heater control methods,
including ON/OFF control, phase control, and cyclic control.
• High-precision heater burnout alarm with digital measurement.
• Contributes to preventative maintenance.
• If the gate function is disabled, the gate input can be used as an
undercurrent/overcurrent relay or for motor or lamp loads.
• Undercurrent detection values can be set separately for CT1 and
CT2. *2
• CE marking and cUL certified (K8AC-H2@@@).
*1. K8AC-H2@@@ Series only.
*2. The overvoltage detection value is the same for the CT1 and CT2. Also, there
is one undercurrent output.
Note: 1. Consult with your OMRON representative before using the K8AC with
phase control or cyclic control under the following conditions.
• Using multiple heaters with different heater capacities
• Using heaters with varying heater resistance (e.g., halogen heaters)
2. The K8AC-H is designed to monitor for element burnouts on heaters
controlled with power regulators that used a three-alarm method.
Normal monitoring is not possible for circuits that use a power regulator with a six-alarm method.

The burnout alarm set value can be set separately for CT1 and CT2.
  • Page 9 • Connect only one CT for single-phase heaters. • Connect two CTs for three-phase heaters. • For three-phase heaters, always set the burnout alarm set values * Consult with your OMRON representative if multiple heaters are connected for both CT1 and CT2.

In actual operation there may be effects from factors such as load (heater) imbalances, so conduct an actual test for confirmation before making adjustments if the current change ratio between normal and abnormal operation is slight. 4. Consult with your OMRON representative if multiple heaters are used with different heater capacities.
  • Page 11 K8AC-H Operation Main K8AC-H Functions The K8AC-H is a digital heater burnout detector that detects heater burnout by measuring the heater current from various power supply systems. The K8AC-H provides the following functions. Applicable Heater Control Methods Error Detection The following heater control methods can be used. The following errors are detected according to status.
  • Page 12 As a result, high-precision detection of heater burnout is not possible. The effect on the heater and setting methods depends on the heater being used. Therefore, consult with your OMRON Output Operation Time Charts representative before using a heater with varying resistance values.
