Working Principle:
The KJ3002X1-BG2 receives millivolt-level thermoelectric signals from eight thermocouple sensors through its input channels. Each channel includes signal conditioning circuitry that amplifies the weak thermocouple signal, applies cold junction compensation, and converts the conditioned analog signal into a digital temperature value. These digital values are transmitted to the DeltaV controller via the carrier backplane. The power supply section simultaneously converts the 12 VDC input into multiple regulated output voltages to power other system components.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install the card into a compatible DeltaV I/O carrier slot
  • Connect thermocouple sensor wires to the appropriate channel terminals using correct polarity
  • Connect the 12 VDC power input to the designated power terminals
  • Refer to document 12P2046 “DeltaV Scalable Process System Zone 2 Installation Instructions” for hazardous area installations
  • Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the specified temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock limits

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not remove or insert this unit while system power is energized
