Power supply
Supply of Bus Coupler / Bus Terminal Controller and Bus Terminals (Us)
3.2.3.1
BKxx50 and BKxx51
The Bus Couplers / Bus Terminal Controllers require an operating voltage of 24 V
DC
. Use a 4 A fuse or a
Class 2 power supply to comply with the UL requirements.
The connection is made by means of the upper spring-loaded terminals labelled
Us
and
GNDs
. This supply
voltage is used for the electronic components of the Bus Coupler and Bus Terminal Controllers and (via the
K-bus) the electronic components of the Bus Terminals. It is galvanically separated from the field level
voltage.

DANGER
Note the UL requirements for the power supply.
To comply with the UL requirements, the 24 V
DC
supply voltage for Us must originate
• from an isolated source protected by a fuse of max. 4A (according to UL248) or
• from a voltage supply complying with NEC class 2.
An NEC class 2 voltage source must not be connected in series or parallel with another
NEC class 2 voltage source!
