The Pepperl + Fuchs WE 77/EX-1 is a high-quality switch amplifier designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of digital signals from hazardous to non-hazardous areas. This device is particularly suitable for use in control and instrumentation technology, where it provides galvanic isolation for standard signals such as 20 mA and 10 V, or for adapting and standardising signals.
Constructed for durability and reliability, the WE 77/EX-1 is compatible with a 230V AC supply voltage and features a single relay output with one changeover contact. It supports a reversible mode of operation and includes lead breakage (LB) monitoring to ensure the integrity of connections.
The switch amplifier is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN mounting rail in accordance with EN 60715, ensuring easy integration into existing systems. It boasts an IP20 protection degree, safeguarding against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against water, making it suitable for controlled environments.
With a robust operating temperature range of -25 to 60°C, the WE 77/EX-1 can withstand challenging industrial environments. Its compact dimensions and approximate weight of 390 g make it an unobtrusive addition to any setup.
The device is certified with an ATEX marking of II (1)GD [EEx ia] IIC for circuits in zone 0/1/2, indicating its suitability for use in explosive atmospheres. It also complies with the relevant EMC and low voltage directives, ensuring it meets the stringent standards required for industrial equipment in the European market.
The Pepperl + Fuchs WE 77/EX-1 switch amplifier is an essential component for professionals seeking to maintain signal integrity and safety in industrial applications involving hazardous areas.
