Operation
5.2.1 Thermocouple Input (TC)
Figure 5.1 Proof test set-up for KCD2-UT2-(Ex)1 with thermocouple input (TC)
Usage in Zone 0, 1, 2/Div. 1, 2 only for KCD2-UT2-Ex1
Proof Test Procedure for the Thermocouple Input
Additional equipment: 110 fixed resistor (accuracy of 0.1 %)
1. Connect a TC simulator to the terminals 1 and 2.
2. Connect the digital multimeter to the terminals 5 and 6.
3. Set the compensation/reference temperature on the TC simulator to 26 °C.
4. Connect the fixed resistor to terminals 3 and 4.
5. Set the TC simulator sequentially to the temperature values
representing 4 mA, 12 mA, 20 mA at the output.
6. Measure the output current.
The proof test is passed if the following values are measured at the output
1
:
– for the 4 mA application: 3,7 mA to 4,3 mA
– for the 12 mA application: 11,7 mA to 12,3 mA
– for the 20 mA application: 19.7 mA to 20.3 mA
7. Remove the TC simulator. Check if a lead breakage is detected.
The red LED is flashing. The output behavior in the event of a fault depends on the
device configuration.
8. Remove the fixed resistor. Check if a lead breakage of the cold junction compensation is
detected.
The red LED is flashing. The output behavior in the event of a fault depends on the
device configuration.

Additionally the loop diagnosis shall be tested to prove that the fault signalling via the current output is working
correctly. The output current in the event of a failure depends on the device configuration. Please record this
configuration and the resulting expected fault signalling current in the test report. Example: if downscale is
configured, 2.0 mA ±1 % must be measured in the event of a failure. The red LED must be flashing.
