6 Device from the RN Series
An analog signal (4 to 20 mA) in proportion to the relevant sensor value is generated in
the transmitter. This is sent to a downstream logic unit (e.g. PLC, limit signal transmitter)
where it is monitored to determine whether it is above or below a specified limit value. For
fault monitoring, the logic unit must be able to recognize and analyze both high alarms (≥
21.0 mA) and low alarms (≤ 3.6 mA).
NOTICE
‣
The optional plug-in display is not part of the safety function. Neither the hardware nor
the software of the display have a verifiable influence on the defined safety functions
of the transmitter. The CDI interface is not safe and therefore may not be used in
safety-related applications. The interface cannot be used for the expert mode.
Correct installation is a prerequisite for safe operation of the device.

NOTICE
Galvanic isolation
‣
When two sensors are connected to the transmitter, make sure the sensors are
galvanically isolated from one another.
