Protection against Overvoltage 
Protection of power supply L+ from surge in 
accordance with IEC 61000-4-5 with external 
protection elements only 
 
•  Symmetrical (L+ to M) 
1 kV; 1.2/50 μs 
•  Asymmetrical (L+ to PE, M to PE) 
+2 kV; 1.2/50 μs 
Protection of inputs and outputs from surge in 
accordance with IEC 61000-4-5 with external 
protection elements only 
 
•  Symmetrical (Vs, DI to M) 
+1 kV; 1.2/50 μs 
•  Asymmetrical (Vs, DI to PE, M to PE) 
+1 kV; 1.2/50 μs 
*: With an input delay of 0.5 ms, shielded cables must be used for the digital inputs and the sensor 
supply.  
With 3 ms input delay, shielded cables must be used if there is a danger of overvoltage on the signal 
lines (see section "Electromagnetic Compatibility") to prevent possible passivation of the fail-safe 
digital inputs and the sensor power supply switching off. If unshielded signal lines are used, the safe 
behavior of the process variables is ensured.  
**: Operating below the permissible supply voltage is only permissible for the repair time. See chapter 
"
Introduction (Page 61)."
