Operation
K2CU-F A- GS
Series
When
power is supplied to the heater (when the SSR is ON), a cur
-
rent flows through the wires to the heater elements. At the same
time, a voltage is imposed on the gate circuit and the
K2CU-FjjAjGS begins monitoring the current flowing through
the
heater wires.
The current flowing to the heater wires is detected by the detector
sections through each Current Transformer (CT) incorporated by
the K2CU-FjjA-jGS.
The
current signals transmitted by the two CT
s are sent to the cur
-
rent-voltage converters, smoothing circuits, and comparators as
shown
in the diagram.
The
signal generated by the reference voltage generator is sent to
the
setting circuit to provide a reference value. The reference value
is sent to the comparators. Each comparator compares its heater
element
current input
and the reference value. If the input is lower
than the reference value, a signal is sent to the output circuit.
There
are two
detector sections operating independently
. If either of
the
input signals from the CT
s is lower than the reference value, the
output
relay and alarm indicator will be activated.
The K2CU-FjjA-jGS incorporates a voltage fluctuation com-
pensation
function which automatically corrects the reference value
if
the supply voltage fluctuates.

Note: 1. The
dotted lines indicate the line conductors passing through the windows of the current transformers.
2.
The current flowing into the gate circuit (between G+ and G–) is as follows:
Approximately 1.4 mA at 5 VDC
Approximately 3.4 mA at 12 VDC
Approximately 6.7 mA at 24 VDC

When using a K2CU which has the model number suf
fix ”GS” (a model that incorporates gate input
terminals), the control output of the temperature controller must be a voltage output type.
