Information on the signaling contact
● To connect the signaling contact, the device has an M12 interface: B-coded, 5-pin, male.
● The signaling contact is a floating switch that signals error statuses by opening the
contact.
The signaling contact must be operated within the range of the operating voltage.
If an error/fault occurs, the signaling contact opens. In normal operation, the signaling
contact is closed.
● To connect the signaling contact, use a copper cable of category 24 AWG or a cable with
a cross-section of ≥ 0.25 mm

Damage due to voltage being too high
You can load the signaling contact with the operating voltage of the device and a maximum
of 100 mA.
Higher voltages or currents can damage the device.
