Searchline Excel™ Plus / Searchline Excel™ Edge – Technical Manual
Unused conductors must be suitably terminated. Wiring must be in accordance with local, national and company
regulations. Exposed or bare conductors must be avoided.
The maximum permissible mA loop voltage is 32 VDC and the maximum current is 22 mA.
Note
Do not reverse the receiver power supply connections. This will not damage the unit, however, the unit will not operate.
