4 Terminal Assignment 

The  electrical  connections  are  made  via  cable  glands  to  terminal  blocks  inside.  The  terminal 
numbering  can  be  found  on  the  pcb.  The  maximum  cable  cross-section  is  2,5  mm².  The  EMC-
installation instruction must be complied with.

Terminals  “supply  ground”  and  “analogue  ground”  are  isolated  galvanically.  To  unset  this  isolation 
clamp 3 and 4 are to be bridged. 

Notice:

 The amplifier is to be operated with closed lid only. 



4.1 Supply Voltage

 

The supply voltage is with version -24E in the range of 18 to 30 VDC and with version –E12 within 10 
to 18 VDC. The presence of the supply/ internal operating voltage is indicated by the 2 green LEDs 
on the pcb. 

To  protect  the  electronics  an  (to  the  supply  voltage  version  corresponding)  internal  self-healing 
“polyswitch-resettable®”  fuse  is  built  in.  Whether  an  external  additional  fuse  is  necessary  is  to  be 
checked. However, an additional external fuse of 0,5 A is recommended.  

If  the  indicator  LEDs  go  off,  the  supply  voltage  and  possibly  existing  external  protection  has  to  be 
checked. 

Notice:

  During  switch-on  phase  the  amplifier  is  capacitive.  Thus,  the  switch-on  current  is  greater 

than the operating current. This must be taken into consideration when dimensioning and selecting 
the power pack, especially if several amplifiers are being wired to the same power source. 



4.1.1 Galvanic Isolation

 

The supply voltage of the amplifier is galvanically isolated from analogue output, sensor supply and 
sensor signal. To unset this isolation, clamp 3 and 4 have to be bridged.
