Function
The transformer isolated barrier 
transfers digital signals from the 
hazardous area. Sensors per 
DIN EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR) and 
mechanical contacts may be used as 
alarms. Control circuits are monitored 
for lead breakage (LB) and short circuit 
(SC). The external faults are indicated 
according to NAMUR NE44 by a red 
flashing LED. For type KFD2-SR2Ex1.W, an LB/SC collective error 
message is in addition transferred 
through the Power Rail to the power 
feed module. The intrinsically safe input 
is per DIN EN 50020 safely isolated 
from the output and the power supply. 
The relay output is in accordance with 
IEC 61140 safely isolated from the 
power supply.

PR-03 Power Rail 
UPR-03 Power Rail 
KFD2-EB2 power feed module
The KFD2-EB2 power feed module and the PR-03 or the UPR-03 Power Rail are used to supply the devices with 24 VDC and 
at the same time to evaluate combined fault indications. 
Each power feed module monitors and provides protection for groups of as many as 100 individual devices. The PR-03 Power 
Rail is an insert component for the DIN rail. The UPR-03 Power Rail is a complete unit consisting of an electrical insert and an 
aluminium DIN rail measuring 35 mm x 15 mm x 2000 mm. The devices are simply snapped in place to make electrical 
contact. 
If a Power Rail is not being used, power can be supplied to the devices directly through the device terminals.
