26 BCL 8 Leuze electronic
5.3 Connector unit MA 8-01
The modular connector unit is an optional accessory when connecting a BCL 8 to an RS 485
interface. The RS 485 interface, the switching input and the switching output are all
connected to the MA 8-01. It also supplies voltage to the BCL 8. The MA 8-01 connector unit
offers the following advantages over the installation of the BCL 8 as a stand-alone device:
• M12 socket for switching input and switching output
• M12 connector for RS 485 interface and voltage supply 24VDC
• M12 socket for connection of the BCL 8
