Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 With regard to the supply of products, the current issue of the following document is applicable: The General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services of the Electrical Industry, published by the Central Association of the Electrical Industry (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik und Elektroindustrie (ZVEI) e.V.) in its most recent version as well as the supplementary clause: "Expanded reservation of proprietorship"...
Overview Application The devices of the K-System from Pepperl+Fuchs are used to transmit signals between field devices and the process control system or control. Devices with the "Ex" code in their type identifiers are suitable for connection to field devices in the hazardous area.
The following versions of the device are available: • KFD2-GU-1, device with a power supply 24 V DC for connection of field devices in the safe area • KFD2-GU-Ex1, device with a power supply 24 V DC for connection of field devices in areas exposed...
If malfunctions cannot be eliminated, places the device out of service and protect them from accidental use. The device may only be repaired directly by the manufacturer Pepperl+Fuchs. Any opening or change in the device is dangerous and are therefore not to be performed. They void any warranty.
Attention The devices of the K-System from Pepperl+Fuchs can be mounted on a 35 mm top-hat rail corresponding to EN 60715. The devices must be snapped onto the rail vertically, and never slanted or tipped to the side.
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Mounting and Connection Dimensions of the Table of contents in mm Connection The KF series' slip-off terminals significantly simplify connection and construction of switching cabinets. They allow quick and error-free exchange of the unit when service is needed. The terminals can be screwed on, are self-opening, and have generous connection room for a wire diameter of up to 2.5 mm²...

EN 60079-14 into the area subject to the danger of explosion. The non-intrinsically safe field circuit is connected to the green terminals 1 to 6 of the KFD2-GU-1. In both cases you can connect: • a resistance temperature sensor Pt100 or Ni100 ...
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Mounting and Connection Operating and Indicating Elements On the front of the GU you will find: • LED OUT1 (yellow) for displaying relay 1 active • LED OUT2 (yellow) for displaying relay 2 active • LED PWR/FAULT (green/red) for displaying supply voltage present/malfunction •...
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Device Configuration via Software Device Configuration via Software The device is parameterised using the PACTware operating software. The PACTware operating software and the necessary device and communication DTMs can be downloaded from our internet page www.pepperl-fuchs.com (product search, enter PACTware). The manual "Installation and Configuration DTM Collection Conventional Interface Introduction"...
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Device Configuration via Software Communication Driver In a PACTware project, communication with the device is only possible via a communication driver. If your project does not yet contain such a driver, please add it to the project from the device catalogue (see manual).
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Device Configuration via Software Monitor Functions If you have started the communication between PACTware and the device (e. g. via Device data Establish connection), you can open the Measured value window via Device data Measured value. The following information is displayed: •...
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Device Configuration via Software Simulation Function If you have started the communication between PACTware and the device (e. g. via Device data Establish connection), you can open the Simulation window via Device data Simulation. Simulation interrupts normal functionality of the device! Before starting the simulation, make certain that this cannot result in any dangerous state for the system.
Temperature Trip Amplifier KFD2-GU-(Ex)1 Device Configuration via Software Diagnosis If you have started the communication between PACTware and the device (e. g. via Device data Establish connection), you can open the Diagnosis window via Device data Diagnosis. It shows the following information: Explanations: •...
