PR 9203 Driver for Solenoids and Alarms

The PR 9203 Driver for Solenoids and Alarms is a universal industrial driver for dependable control of solenoid valves, acoustic alarms, and LEDs in automation systems. Built for robust performance and functional safety, this DIN-rail mounted driver delivers selectable current outputs (Low 35 mA or High 60 mA). In addition, the 9203, from PR electronics, features advanced self-diagnostics to ensure accurate activation and monitoring of field outputs. With configuration and real-time status monitoring via the detachable PR 4500 Series display, the 9203 Driver lets technicians choose the direct or inverted channel functions and optionally supervise output current for enhancing process insight.

• Two hardware versions make it possible to choose either Low (35 mA) or High (60 mA) current output.
• Configuration and monitoring by way of detachable display front (PR 4500).
• Selection of direct or inverted function for each channel via PR 45xx and also the possibility of reducing the output current to suit the application. 
  
• Optional redundant supply via power rail and/or separate supply.
• Models in the 9203 Series are intrinsically safe and feature various certifications for use in hazardous areas as well as for marine applications.
• Model PR 9203A
  • Suitable for use in safe areas and can also mount in Zone 2 / Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, D.
    
  • Universal driver for the control of solenoids, alarms, etc.
  • Optional monitoring of the output current by way of PR 4500.
• Model PR 9203B
  • Mounts in Zone 2 / Class I, Div 2; it can also receive signals from Zone 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, M1 / Class I, II, III, Div 1, Groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
  • Universal driver for the control of solenoids, alarms, etc. with various intrinsically safe (I.S.) data by way of three built-in I.S. barriers.
  • Optional monitoring of the output current to the hazardous area by way of PR 4500.

PR 9203 Driver for Solenoids and Alarms from PR electronics

The PR 9203 offers certification to SIL 2 standards through full assessment (IEC 61508) and meets Performance Level "d" (ISO-13849). As a result, the PR 9203 Driver for solenoids and alarms supports reliability in safety-critical automation applications. The 9203 Series operates with either NPN/PNP sensor signals or simple switch control. Furthermore, it includes internal diagnostics with individual status relay feedback. Its reinforced 2.6 kVAC galvanic isolation between input, output, and supply protects sensitive electronics from interference and fault conditions.

• The PR 9203 Driver can control the ON / OFF function of solenoids, acoustic alarms, and LEDs. 
• The PR 9203 Driver for solenoids and alarms is controlled by an NPN/PNP signal or a switch signal. 
• Monitoring of internal error events via the individual status relay and/or a collective electronic signal via the power rail.
• The 9203 Series has been designed, developed, and certified for use in SIL 2 applications according to the requirements of IEC 61508.
• Failure rates for the PR 9203 correspond to Performance Level "d" according to ISO-13849.

Easy Mounting, Installation, and Programming

Suitable for installation in safe areas and hazardous environments, the 9203 driver for solenoids and alarms is ideal for oil & gas, energy, water treatment, and general process automation systems that require reliable actuation and safety compliance.

• 1 green and 2 yellow/red front LEDs indicate operation status and malfunction.
• 2.6 kVAC galvanic isolation between input, output, and supply.
• The PR 9203 driver can mount vertically or horizontally without distance between neighboring units.
