Transmitter LKM436 for resistance sensors
The LKM436 is a digital, programmable temperature switch for mounting on the standard rail and can be set for various resistance sensors according to DIN EN 60751. When the switching point is reached, a potential-free change-over contact relay switches. Two LEDs additionally display the operating status and the switching status optically. The lead resistance of the two-wire circuit can be compensated on site with the setting controller.
It can be used in two operating modes:
- Safety shutdown switch - In this case, the self-locking function is activated, and the relay is reset exclusively by switching the "Clear" input to "GND". Optionally, the relay can also be reset with a pushbutton mounted in the cover. The set hysteresis has no influence on the switching behavior.
- Temperature controller - The self-locking function is deactivated. As soon as the set value of the hysteresis is reached, the relay is reset. Resetting with "Clear" against "GND" is not possible.
The temperature switch is delivered configured according to customer specifications. Subsequent changes of the sensor, switching point, hysteresis and self-locking can be made with our communication interface "LKM S1" with adapter A1 and a PC. The required program is available free of charge in the tab "Downloads".
With a zero point controller a small correction can be done on site. In addition, an offset can be set via software.
The selection menu is available for configuration.
The switching point and the hysteresis can be entered below. Please observe the following notes:
- Switching point, freely selectable in the measuring range of the sensor (see technical data), integers.
- Hysteresis, freely selectable between 0.1°C and 255°C, the switching value must not leave the measuring range
An evaluation from 0 to 4kΩ is possible on request.
An evaluation of thermocouples is possible with our LKM437.
