The Switch Amplifier is a 2-channel isolated barrier designed for use in safety-critical environments. It supports 24 V DC supply and is compatible with dry contact or NAMUR inputs, making it versatile for various applications.
The Switch Amplifier within the Pepperl+Fuchs Intrinsic Safety Barriers range is engineered to enhance signal reliability in hazardous areas by providing electrical isolation between field devices and control systems. This device is particularly useful in applications where safety and compliance with international standards are paramount, such as in chemical processing, oil and gas, and other industries operating in explosive atmospheres.
Featuring a reversible mode of operation, the Switch Amplifier can function effectively as a signal splitter, allowing one input to be distributed to two outputs. Its robust design includes dual relay contact outputs with AND logic, ensuring reliable signal processing. Additionally, the device incorporates line fault detection (LFD), which enhances system integrity by identifying potential faults in the connected lines. With a safety rating of up to SIL 2 according to IEC 61508, this Switch Amplifier is well-suited for applications requiring high levels of safety assurance.
