6.4 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.
The following shows connection examples for the hazardous area. Wiring is similar
for the non-hazardous area; however, it is not necessary to use Ex-certified devices.
