2. General Information
2.1. Features
ECO type pulse amplifiers are available with different taps and output configurations.
ECO is the generation of amplifiers from KEM that replaces all previous versions and variants. The possible
configurations include one or two channels as well as digital and analog outputs. An integrated medium
temperature measurement is included as standard.
The ECO family is compatible with all of KEM's positive displacement meters.
ECO has a proprietary communication interface integrated into the M12 connector. By using the interface adapter
ECO-COM.B.USB and the parameterization software KEM EcoControl the ECO can be parameterized.
ECO pulse amplifiers can be linearized with up to 20 points.Sicherheit
2.1.1. General Safety
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this manual will only apply when the unit is
operated correctly in accordance with this manual.
The data for Ingress Protection (adequate IP rating) will only apply when all connectors are caped properly with
the corresponding counterpart with the same or better IP rating. Cable glands must be populated with cables with
the specified diameter and closed properly.
During operation all openings of the housing must be closed unless otherwise noted in this manual.
All connections to the load and to the supply must be made with shielded cables unless otherwise noted in this
manual. This unit must be grounded.
This unit must be supplied by a safety approved power supply with outputs which comply with Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV).
As a protection against fire in the positive supply a fuse with a current rating not higher than the current carrying
capacity of the cable used is required.
National and international standards regarding electrical installation have to be adhered to.
The devices described in this manual may only be connected and operated by authorized and qualified personnel.
2.1.2. Special Requirements for Ex Installations
When used in hazardous area a suitable separation amplifier or zener barriers must be used.
When using long cables make sure that the maximum inductances and capacitances for the respective voltage
or gas group are not exceeded.

4. Installation
4.1. Mechanical Installation
Depending on the version of the tap, the installation is performed differently.
WARNING!
Too much force will damage the sensor tip!
4.1.1. Plug tap
Place the ECO in such a way that the tapping holes in the sensor and the insertion tips match. Screw the ECO
onto the sensor hand-tight using the hexagon socket screws (wrench size 3 mm) already inserted in the
housing.Schraubabgriff M14x1.5
Carefully screw the ECO with the sensor tip by hand (without using tools) into the M14x1.5 mounting thread of
the measuring cell until it stops.
WARNUNG!
Too much force will damage the sensor tip!
Turn the ECO back by 15°.
Fix the ECO with the lock nut on the sensor tip.
4.2. Electrical Installation
HINWEIS:
For connecting, shielded cables must be used. The ECO housing is connected to the cable shield.
WARNING!
Improper grounding and shielding may lead to bad EMC behavior or danger to your health!
Connect the ECO via a shielded cable to the control unit. The ECO requires a regulated DC power supply of
24 V nominal and works properly over a supply range of 12 V to 28 V.
HINWEIS:
Make sure that all cable and wires are connected and fixed properly before applying power to the ECO.
For the electrical connections refer to the drawings in chapter 5.1.

4.3. Ex Installation
The ECO … -Ex is intrinsically save when operated with zener barriers.
Follow the installation instructions from the chapter 4.1.
Connect the ECO to isolation amplifiers via a shielded cable..
WARNING!
When used in hazardous areas the ECO must not be connected to any circuitry except suitable zener barriers.
