About the Kongsberg 8100334
The Kongsberg 8100334 PSO-P is a power switch-over unit that sits between two independent 24 V DC supplies and the distributed processing units (DPUs) of a Kongsberg automation system. It provides five 24 V DC outputs of up to 3 A, each protected by an automatic fuse with manual reset, and always outputs the higher of the two supply voltages, so the DPUs stay powered if one supply fails. Change-over relay outputs signal the loss of either supply to the alarm system. Kongsberg lists this version for use with the AutoChief propulsion control system and the K-Chief alarm, monitoring and control system.
What is the 8100334 used for?
The PSO-P is mounted inside an automation or propulsion control cabinet (minimum IP20) and feeds redundant 24 V DC power to the DPUs on K-Chief and AutoChief C20 installations. Every DPU connected to its outputs depends on it for power.
Lifecycle and successor
Legacy module from a late-lifecycle Kongsberg system.
OEM successor: K-Chief lifecycle upgrade or retrofit, depending on the system
Before you order
What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.
Check the item number 8100334 and the PSO-P marking on the module label. Kongsberg documentation for this unit is datasheet 340332. Send a label photo and the system it is installed in (K-Chief or AutoChief).
