Technical Data
The supply voltage is galvanically isolated from the input and output
signals, but the input and output signals are not galvanically isolated
from each other.
Supply voltage
24 V ac ± 15%, 50-60 Hz
80 VA maximum (5 VA for controller and additional 55 VA when the
controllers powers the coil for an AKV/A pulse valve or an additional
75 VA when used with the discontinued TQ valve).
Input signals
Current input signal on terminals 18 & 19, 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA
Pressure transmitter, 4-20 mA from AKS 33
Digital input on terminals 1 and 2 for start-stop of regulation
Temperature sensor input, 2 PT 1000
Analog output (terminals 2 and 5)
Current signal: 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA
Load: 200Ω maximum
2 Relay outputs
each SPST, AC-1/4A resistive or AC-15: 3A inductive
Ambient temperature
During operation: +14°F to 131°F (-10 °C to 55°C)
During transport: -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
