Pepperl+Fuchs KFU8-GUT-1.D Temperature Converter with Trip Value Function

The KFU8-GUT-1.D model is a versatile single-channel isolating temperature converter (or signal conditioner) from Pepperl+Fuchs, providing reliable galvanic isolation between field and control circuits. This device is ideal for high-accuracy conversion of signals from a wide range of sensors into a standard analog output current, as well as for monitoring critical process parameters via built-in relay outputs.

Key Features and Specifications

• Universal Input Versatility: The KFU8-GUT-1.D converter supports connecting thermocouples (types B, E, J, K, L, N, R, S, T), Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) such as Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000, as well as potentiometers (0.8...20 kΩ) and voltage sources (up to 10 V).

• Functional Safety SIL 2: The device is certified for use in systems with a Safety Integrity Level up to SIL 2 according to IEC/EN 61508/IEC/EN 61511, ensuring high reliability in critical processes.

• Redundant Thermocouple Input: Supports the function of redundant TC input to increase availability and minimize downtime in case of a break in one of the sensors.

• Two Relay Outputs: Features 2 independent built-in relay contacts for implementing signaling and protective shutdown functions (Trip Values).

• Standard Output Signal: Analog output current of 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA with a load capacity up to 650 Ω.

• Wide Supply Range: Universal power supply of 20...90 V DC or 48...253 V AC allows the device to be used in various systems without the need for selecting specific models.

• Diagnostics: Line Fault Detection (LFD) and sensor burnout detection functions for quick identification of malfunctions in the measuring loop.

• Easy Configuration: Configuration is conveniently performed using the PACTware software or via the integrated keypad.
