Wiring with switchable backlighting
An additional current-limited current source is required to implement switchable backlighting, e.g.
active barrier RN221N. This current source is used to supply the LED backlighting of up to 7 RIA15
process display units without causing an additional voltage drop in the measurement loop. The
backlighting can be switched on and off using an external switch.

1 Process display unit RIA15
2 3-wire connector, e.g. WAGO 221 series
3 2-wire sensor
4 Terminal block on top-hat rail
5 Active barrier, e.g. RN221N
6 4 to 20 mA output to the control unit
7 Power supply
8 Current source, e.g. RN221N
9 Switch to activate backlighting
10 Power supply
Supply voltage
The display unit is loop-powered and does not require any external power supply. The voltage drop is
≤1 V in the standard version with 4 to 20 mA communication, ≤1.9 V with HART
®
communication
and an additional 2.9 V if display lighting is used.
