 WARNING 
Risk of injury due to live parts! 
When the housing is open, contact protection is not provided 
and EMC protection is limited. 
•  Before opening the housing, switch off the power supply. 
 
 
Note 
For electrical installation, the following standards, data, and 
documents must be complied with: 
•  The relevant regulations and safety standards pertaining 
to the installation and operation of electrical systems 
•  The additional regulations, standards, and directives 
pertaining to the installation and operation of explosion-
proof systems, if explosion-proof units are used 
•  Values for the electrical connection (see chapter 
Electrical Data on page 13). 
•  The information from explosion protection certificate, for 
an explosion-proof design. 
 
 
 
NOTICE 
Adverse effect on input signals 
Power supply leads in the immediate vicinity of the signal 
lines produce interference which can impair the input signals 
to the devices. 
•  Do not install the signal line together with power supply 
leads.

Position of the terminals 
 
The electrical connection is provided by 2-pin screw terminals for 
conductor cross-sections up to a maximum of 2.5 mm
2
 (14 AWG). 
Do not reverse the polarity (+/-) when connecting the signal line. 
 
Control room housing unit for rail and block mounting 
The terminals are located on the side of the housing unit. 
 
 
Plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel field mount housing 
The terminals are located inside the housing unit. Therefore, the 
field mount housing must be opened in order to connect the 
cable.
