Electrical connection
For connecting the switching outputs via the CDB 420 or CDM 420 Connection Module, see 
the “CDB 420 Connection Module“ Operating Instructions (order no.
 8 010 001, 
German/English version) respectively the “CDM 420 Connection Module“ Operating 
Instructions (order no.
 8 010 004, German/English version).
Note If the "Device Ready" function is chosen, the CLV outputs a static pulse in Reading mode.
   Tip
The output function, pulse duration (timer) and polarity of the signals can be changed on the 
DEVICE CONFIGURATION tab in the CLV Setup program.
 Click the RESULT OUTPUT PARAMETERS button. Edit dialog box. 
Download all changes to CLV.
Recommendation  To check the switching functions using a high-impedance digital voltmeter, power the 
outputs.
 
This prevents incorrect voltage values/switching statuses from being displayed.
