4.6 Regulations

The device complies with 
the following standards:

EN 61000-4-5 (Surge protection of inputs, outputs/power 
supplies)

EN 61000-6-4/2002 (Electromagnetic interference, industrial 
environments)

EN 61000-6-2/2005 (Electromagnetic compatibility, 
industrial environments)

EN 61010-1/2001 (Safety)
All circuits have to be insulated with double insulation against  
circuits carrying hazardous voltages. 

If using a galvanically isolated power supply unit, a fuse of max. 2.5 A should 
be installed.

5. Mounting instructions

The signal converter is designed to be mounted on rails according to DIN 46277.

Mounting of signal converter 

on the rail

1.  Place the signal converter onto the top 

part of the rail.

2.  Press the signal converter downwards.

Removing the signal converter 

from the rail

1.  Use a screwdriver (as shown in the 

fi gure) as a lever.

2.  Turn the signal converter downwards.

For optimum function and longevity, ensure adequate ventilation of the signal. 
We recommend installation in vertical position.  Avoid installing the signal 
converter above devices generating heat. We recommend installing it at the 
bottom of the switch cabinet. 

 

6. Installation instructions

6.1 Input selection

The input type is selected by setting the DIP switch group SW1.

Each input type corresponds to a certain number of scale start and end values which may be 
selected by setting DIP switch group SW2.

The table below lists the possible START and END values according to the input type selected.

Note for all tables:
The symbol   indicates that the DIP switch is in ON position.
No entry means the DIP switch is in OFF position!

Note: Set the DIP switches while 
module is powered down. This avoids 
electrostatic discharges which might 
damage the module.

6.2 Free setting of START and END for measuring

The START and END keys allow the free setting of the start and end values of the scale within 
the measuring range set by means of the DIP switches. This procedure requires a suitable signal 
generator which is able to provide the desired end or start values of the scale.

The procedure is as follows: 

1.  Use the respective DIP switches to set the desired input type as well as START and END for the 

measurement which contain the desired scale start and end value for the measurement.

2.  Switch on power supply.

3.  Attach a generator or calibrator for the signal to be measured or transmitted.

4.  Set the generator to the desired scale start value.

5.  Press the START key for at least 3 s. The green LED on the front panel will fl ash to indicate that 

the value has been stored.

6.  Repeat step 4 and 5 for the desired END value.

7.  Remove power supply of the module and set the DIP switches of group SW2 for the setting of 

START and END values to the OFF position.

Now the module is confi gured for the desired start and end value of the scale. To reprogram it, 
also for other input types, simply repeat the entire process.

6.3 Output selection

DIP switches Nos. 7 and 8 of the SW2 group allow the setting of the respective output with or 
without zero determination, and normal or reversed output. The DIP switch group SW3 lets you 
select the output type.

Note: Set the DIP switches while module is powered down. This avoids electrostatic 
discharges which might damage the module.
