1. APPLICATION
The UNICONT PKK–312– series comprises
4...20 mA current controlled limit switches. The
relay output of the units switch at the current
limit values (taught to the unit), depending on
the limits, switching difference or window
comparison modes. Error status indication can
be programmed so that the relay gets
energized or de-energized when detecting a
failure. Failure may be discontinuity in the cable
/ lower value fault current or short circuit / upper
value error current. The unit is suitable for
powering all NIVELCO manufactured 2-wire
(4...20 mA) transmitters. Some models of this
series meet the requirements of intrinsically
safe operation. The UNICONT PKK–312–8 Ex
can
monitor
the
DC
powered,
2-wire
NIVOSWITCH Ex type vibrating fork's output
current changes between freely vibrating and
immersed
states
without
any
further
programming.

3. INSTALLATION
UNICONT PKK–312– must be mounted on an EN 60715-35 rail.
ATTENTION!
Before installing the device, make sure that the input current values can be provided by the
loop of the application. If not, teach the current values to the device before installing it. (See
chapter 5 "Commissioning, Setting, Programming")
