PR 3202 Pulse Isolator / Switch Amplifier
PR 3202 Pulse Isolator / Switch Amplifier
The PR 3202 pulse isolator and switch amplifier from PR Electronics offers high 4-port isolation to provide surge suppression and protect the control system from transients and noise while eliminating ground loops.
- Input: NAMUR, NPN open collector, contact
- Output: 2 x relay or NPN transistor output
- 2.5 kVAC 4-port galvanic isolation
- Line Fault Detection (LFD) / cable break detection
- power supply 16.8-31.2 VDC
Description
- interfaces a NAMUR sensor to typical control system input cards
- high 4-port isolation provides surge suppression that protects the control system from transients and noise and eliminates ground loops
- provides simple splitter function: 1 in – 2 out
- monitor signal source for cable short-circuit or cable break with alarm function on secondary output, power rail, and LED status
- the device can mount in Safe area or in Zone 2 / Division 2 areas
- all terminals offer over-voltage protection, polarity protection, and short-circuit protection
PR 3202 Pulse Isolator / Switch Amplifier
- output options: NPN transistor or mechanical relay
- response time: Relay < 20 ms / NPN < 0.1 ms
- collective DIN-rail alarm
- Line Fault Detection (LFD) / cable break detection
- wide ambient temperature range -13 to 158˚F (-25 to 70˚C)
- NAMUR NE21, NE44
- conforms to IEC 60947 standard – switch amplifiers for NAMUR sensors
Easy Programming and Mounting
- easy configuration via DIP-switches
- applicable devices can configure via DIP-switches
- the DIP-switches are on the side of the device and can adjust with a small screwdriver or other implement
- remember to cycle power for power rail / terminals to reload DIP-switch values at power up
- the PR 3202 features two independent outputs: Out 1 and Out 2
- the two outputs are normally open / not energized
- Out 2 can be a copy of input to form a splitter functionality or Out 2 can indicate LFD alarm
- each output can invert individually
- units can mount side by side, horizontally, and vertically, without air gap on a standard DIN rail, even at 158˚F (70°C) ambient temperature
- units can receive supply separately or install on PR 9400 power rail
- the narrow 6.1 mm housing allows up to 163 units per meter
