Notice *) Continuous current; short-term higher currents are to be prevented and can cause thermal overload (damage)

Notice

Cable lengths > 30 m

For cable lengths > 30 m, suitable overvoltage protection (surge protection) must be provided (e g. EL9540-0010) if corresponding interference could affect the signal cable.

Connection and LEDs 2:

Overcurrent protection of the 20 mA inputs

The current inputs are protected against damage due to overcurrent by an internal electronic overcurrent detection with self-resetting current path separation.

The overcurrent is caused by an occasionally excessive sensor voltage. Depending on the duration and level of the voltage applied, currents > 200 mA can also occur briefly (tripping time: µs range) until the current path separation becomes effective.

Approximately 1 second after an overcurrent detection and the resulting current path separation, the current path is closed again. If the excessive sensor voltage is still present, an overcurrent is detected again and the current path is opened. This process is repeated as long as the excessive voltage is present (auto-retry).

  • To ensure that the current path separation is not overloaded, the dielectric strength in the current measuring range must be observed (see technical data).
  • Overcurrent is indicated in the process image as "Overrange".
  • After it occurs, the error condition must be eliminated immediately.
