2.8.4.2 STO installation with external supply voltage (24 V DC)
The two connecting cables from the external power supply and the safety
relay to the pin 4 (STO+) and pin 3 (STO-) must be twisted cables.
This twisted pair must be routed inside a closed cable duct or conduit (ESC)
and must also be screened, with the corresponding cable screen being
earthed (PES).
The external control voltage should meet the following specifications:
Pin 3:
Pin 4:
STO-: 0-V connection to internal control

STO+:, logical high signal,
Input = 18 - 30 V DC
