 K8AB-AS

Ratings

Note:

Models with a 24-VDC power supply have a non-isolated power supply; the inputs and power supply are connected internally. If both the 
input and power supply are grounded, an unwanted current path will be created and the Unit will not operate normally.
If an unwanted current path exists, use a K8AB model with an AC power supply or use an isolated DC power supply.
