K-System converters receive the signal from temperature and measuring sensors installed in the hazardous area (Zone 0, 1, 2) and return it to the safe area as an isolated 0/4–20 mA signal. The range covers loop-powered Pt100 RTD converters, thermocouple converters with internal cold junction compensation, universal converters configurable with PACTware, potentiometer converters, temperature converters with trip values, and converters for strain gauges and load cells.

The universal versions accept RTDs, thermocouples, potentiometers or voltage signals and are configured from a PC; the strain gauge converter supplies up to four 350 Ω strain gauges in parallel and provides two relay outputs and an RS-485 interface.

Key features

  • Inputs for RTDs (Pt10 to Pt1000, Cu, Ni100), type E, J, K, N, R, S, T thermocouples, potentiometers and voltage
  • 0/4–20 mA output, sink or source mode on universal converters
  • Selectable temperature linearisation and DIP switch ranges (KFD0-TR)
  • Sensor breakage and line fault detection (LFD)
  • Configuration via PACTware or front keypad
  • Full or half bridge strain gauge converter with 2 relay outputs and RS-485 interface
  • Versions up to SIL 2 to IEC/EN 61508 / IEC/EN 61511
