Universal trip amplifier
PR 4179B
- Measures AC current and voltage signals
- Output: 2 relays
- Programming, process monitoring and diagnostics via PR 4500
- Universal power supply 21.6…253 VAC / 19.2...300 VDC
Functional highlights
- The 0... 5 AAC RMS range makes it possible to accurately measure a typical current transformer.
- The 0...300 VAC RMS range allows accurate supply voltage monitoring.
- The device measures standard input ranges and can be freely configured to customer-defined input range.
- Process control with 2 pairs of potential-free relay contacts which can be configured to suit any application.
- Trip amplifier with window function allowing the relay to change state within a high and a low setpoint on the input span.
- Simulation of process value during commissioning / maintenance.
- All terminals are over-voltage protected, polarity protected and short-circuit protected.
- The 4179B provides the required failure data (SFF and PFDAVG) for SIL 2 applications as per IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
- Failure rates for 4179B correspond to Performance Level “d” according to ISO-13849.
Technical characteristics
- Accuracy < 0.3% of span.
- Temperature coefficient 0.01% / °C.
- Response time < 0.75 s for measuring AC current / voltage signals.
- High galvanic isolation of 2.3 kVAC.
- Extended EMC immunity: NAMUR NE21, A criterion, burst.
- Functional safety: HW assessment, SFF > 90%.
Programming
- Configuration, monitoring and diagnostics using PR 4500 detachable communication interfaces. Product-specific functionality includes communication via Modbus and Bluetooth using our PR Process Supervisor (PPS) application, available for iOS and Android.
- All programming can be password protected.
- Scrolling help text in 7 languages.
Mounting / installation
- Units can be mounted side by side, horizontally and vertically, without air gap on a standard DIN rail, even at 60°C ambient temperature.
Note
- If you need an installation instruction in hard copy, you can order it for free when placing your order.
