UR5FH | GE Multilin UR Series UR 5FH Transducer I/O 5F Module

Product Overview

The GE UR-5FH is a Transducer I/O Module from GE Multilin, designed for the UR Series Universal Relay platform. This module enables signal conversion from –1 to +20 mA DC into digital format, allowing the relay to display scaled, real-time parameters. The UR-5FH is used to monitor system parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, wind speed, and flow by converting analog transducer signals into digital data that the UR relay can process and display.

The module's I/O functions — including DCmA, RTD, and RRTD inputs/outputs — are configurable via the relay's keypad and LCD interface or through EnerVista UR software. The UR-5FH is an essential component for applications requiring analog signal integration into digital protection and control systems.

Key Features

• DCmA input/output conversion: –1 to +20 mA DC
• RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) input support for temperature monitoring
• RRTD (Remote RTD) input capability for distributed temperature sensing
• Analog output for hardened connections to SCADA, PLC, or HMI devices
• Configurable I/O functions via keypad/LCD or EnerVista UR software
• Modular plug-and-play design for easy installation and upgrades
• Compatible with EnerVista UR Setup Software

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Temperature monitoring — transformer winding, motor bearing, and generator stator temperatures
• Vibration monitoring — turbine and rotating machinery health assessment
• Pressure monitoring — hydraulic and pneumatic system control
• Flow monitoring — cooling water and lubrication systems
• Wind speed monitoring — wind turbine and environmental sensing
• SCADA/PLC integration — analog signal conversion for centralized monitoring

Compatibility

The UR-5FH is fully compatible with the GE Multilin UR Series universal relay family. It integrates seamlessly with other UR modules including CPU, CT/VT, digital I/O, and communication modules. Always verify firmware compatibility when adding transducer I/O modules to existing systems.

Installation Guide

1. Power Down: Completely de-energize the UR relay chassis. Never install or remove modules while energized.
2. ESD Protection: Wear a grounded ESD wrist strap before handling the module.
3. Slot Verification: Confirm the target slot is empty and matches the module orientation.
4. Module Insertion: Slide the UR-5FH into the chassis guide rails, aligning the rear terminal block with the backplane connector.
5. Secure Mounting: Tighten the faceplate retention screws to the specified torque.
6. Sensor Wiring: Connect RTD, DCmA, and analog output wiring per the UR series wiring diagram.
7. Configuration: Power on and configure transducer scaling and alarm thresholds via EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel keypad.

FAQ

Q: What does the "5F" order code signify?
A: The "5F" designates a transducer I/O module with DCmA, RTD, and RRTD input/output capabilities.

Q: What types of sensors can be connected to the UR-5FH?
A: The UR-5FH supports RTD temperature sensors, DCmA transducers (4–20 mA), and remote RTD (RRTD) inputs for distributed temperature monitoring.

Q: Can the UR-5FH provide analog outputs to SCADA systems?
A: Yes. The module includes analog outputs that can be hardwired to SCADA, PLC, or HMI devices for remote monitoring.

Q: Is hot-swapping supported?
A: No. Always remove control power before installing or removing any module.

Selection Tips

• Choose UR-5FH when you need DCmA, RTD, and RRTD transducer I/O for analog parameter monitoring.
• For digital I/O only, consider the UR-6 series modules (UR-6CH, UR-6HH, UR-6TH).
• For CT/VT analog inputs, consider the UR-8 series modules.
• Always cross-reference the UR series order code guide before ordering.
