PR Electronics 9203A Solenoid / Alarm Driver is a versatile and universal driver designed for the control of solenoids, acoustic alarms, and LEDs. It offers advanced configuration and monitoring capabilities via a detachable display front (PR 45xx) and is suitable for both safe areas and hazardous zones.

Advanced Features

  • Universal Driver: Capable of controlling solenoids, acoustic alarms, and LEDs.
  • Current Output Options: Two hardware versions available to choose between Low (35 mA) or High (60 mA) current output.
  • Configurable Display: Configuration and monitoring via the detachable display front (PR 45xx).
  • Channel Function Selection: Allows selection of direct or inverted function for each channel and the ability to reduce the output current to suit specific applications.
  • Current Monitoring: Optional monitoring of the output current via PR 45xx.
  • Redundant Supply: Optional redundant supply via power rail and/or separate supply ensures continuous operation.

Applications

  • Safe Area and Hazardous Zone Mounting: Can be mounted in safe areas and Zone 2 / Class 1, Division 2, Group A, B, C, D.
  • ON/OFF Control: Suitable for the control of ON/OFF solenoids, acoustic alarms, and LEDs.
  • Signal Control: Controlled by an NPN/PNP signal or a switch signal.
  • Error Monitoring: Monitors internal error events via individual status relay and/or a collective electronic signal via the power rail.
  • Safety Applications: Designed, developed, and certified for use in SIL 2 applications according to IEC 61508 requirements.
  • Performance Level Compliance: Suitable for use in systems up to Performance Level “d” according to ISO-13849.

Technical Characteristics

  • LED Indicators: One green and two yellow/red front LEDs indicate operation status and malfunctions.
  • High Galvanic Isolation: Provides 2.6 kVAC galvanic isolation between input, output, and supply, ensuring robust signal separation.

Mounting

  • Flexible Mounting: Can be mounted vertically or horizontally without distance between neighboring units, optimizing space utilization.

The PR Electronics 9203A Solenoid / Alarm Driver is an excellent solution for industries requiring reliable control of solenoids, acoustic alarms, and LEDs, with advanced monitoring features and compliance with stringent safety standards, particularly in environments with rigorous safety and performance demands.
