optoNCDT 1420
5.4.5 Analog Output
The sensor provides a current output 4 ... 20 mA.
i
The output may not be continuously operated in short circuit operation without load resistor. The short
circuit operation leads to durable thermal overload and thus for automatic overload shutdown of the
output.
Connect the output 11 (white) and 12 (blue) on the sensor to a measuring device.
