NOTE:
The unit and any field devices (actuators, sensors,
etc.) to which it is electrically connected must be
provided with a common ground via pin 3.
The initial conditions of the device's signal outputs are as
follows:

NOTE:
The WARN output (pin 2) is an auxiliary output
used for signaling errors. It cannot be used to drive
high loads.
DCM SWITCH BEHAVIOR IN OVERCURRENT
CONDITIONS
In order to prevent damage of the device electronics, the
device measures the current flowing into the load.
If the current flowing from the switch output to the load
exceeds 250 mA, the load is automatically disconnected and
the WARN output is set to < 0.5 V for 5 sec. The load is then
reconnected, the current is measured again, and the WARN
output is set to the power supply voltage. If the current is still
greater than 250 mA, the load is disconnected and the WARN
output is set to < 0.5 V… in a loop.
