Switch Amplifier
KFD2-SR2-Ex2.2S
Features
• 2-channel isolated barrier
• 24 V DC supply (Power Rail)
• Dry contact or NAMUR inputs
• 2 x 2 relay contact outputs with AND logic
• Line fault detection (LFD)
• Reversible mode of operation
• Up to SIL2 acc. to IEC 61508
Function
This isolated barrier is used for intrinsic safety applications. It 
transfers digital signals (NAMUR sensors/mechanical 
contacts) from a hazardous area to a safe area. 
Each sensor or switch controls two form A normally open 
relay contacts for the safe area load. The normal output state 
can be reversed using switches S1 and S2. Switch S3 is used 
to enable or disable line fault detection of the field circuit.
During an error condition, the relays revert to their deenergized state and the LEDs indicate the fault according to 
NAMUR NE44.
A unique collective error messaging feature is available when 
used with the Power Rail system.

Accessories
Power feed modules KFD2-EB2...
The power feed module is used to supply the devices with 24 V DC via the Power Rail. The fuse-protected power feed module 
can supply up to 100 individual devices depending on the power consumption of the devices. A galvanically isolated mechanical 
contact uses the Power Rail to transmit collective error messages.
Power Rail UPR-03
The Power Rail UPR-03 is a complete unit consisting of the electrical inset and an aluminium profile rail 35 mm x 15 mm. To 
make electrical contact, the devices are simply engaged.
The Power Rail must not be fed via the device terminals of the individual devices!
