• New title page • Update revision status 1.0.0 • First release Firmware and hardware versions Documentation KL2442 Version Firmware Hardware 1.1.0 1.0.0 The firmware and hardware versions (delivery state) can be taken from the serial number printed on the side of the terminal.
Introduction Fig. 1: KL2442 The KL2442 digital output terminal connects the binary 24 V control signals, electrically isolated, with the actuators. Two channels are available and indicate their signal state via LEDs. The KL2442 enables connection of loads with current consumption up to 8 A if the outputs are connected in parallel.
Product overview Technical data Technical data KL2442-0000 Connection technology 3-wire Number of outputs Rated load voltage 24 V DC (-15 %/+20 %) Load type ohmic, inductive, lamp load Max. output current 4.0 A (short-circuit-proof) per channel, 8 A for parallel...
• Surroundings (working place, packaging and personnel) should by grounded probably, when handling with the devices. • Each assembly must be terminated at the right hand end with a KL9010 bus end terminal, to ensure the protection class and ESD protection.

To mount the mounting rails with a height of 7.5 mm under the terminals and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk screws or blind rivets). Version: 1.1.0 KL2442...
EL91xx, EL92xx) interrupt the power contacts and thus represent the start of a new supply rail. PE power contact The power contact labeled PE can be used as a protective earth. For safety reasons this contact mates first when plugging together, and can ground short-circuit currents of up to 125 A. KL2442 Version: 1.1.0...
Power Feed Terminals can be released and pulled at least 10 mm from the group of terminals. WARNING Risk of electric shock! The PE power contact must not be used for other potentials! Version: 1.1.0 KL2442...
Insert the new component and plug in the connector with the wiring. This reduces the installation time and eliminates the risk of wires being mixed up. The familiar dimensions of the terminal only had to be changed slightly. The new connector adds about 3 mm. The maximum height of the terminal remains unchanged. KL2442 Version: 1.1.0...
Ultrasonically “bonded” (ultrasonically welded) conductors Ultrasonically “bonded” conductors It is also possible to connect the Standard and High Density Terminals with ultrasonically “bonded” (ultrasonically welded) conductors. In this case, please note the tables concerning the wire-size width [} 17]! Version: 1.1.0 KL2442...
The cables are released, as usual, using the contact release with the aid of a screwdriver. See the following table for the suitable wire size width. KL2442 Version: 1.1.0...
