Wiring Diagrams
Signal connections are made to a four-terminal
connector mounted in the base of the enclosure per
Figure 3. Connector Board
. The enclosure also
provides one internal and one external earth
grounding screw.
For installations that don’t use the backlight, the
maximum voltage drop is 3 V and connections are
made per
Figure 4.
For installations that use the backlight powered from
the loop, the maximum voltage drop is 6 V and
connections are made per
Figure 5.
For installations that use the backlight powered from
an external source, the maximum voltage drop is 3 V
and connections are made per
Figure 6
.
Figure 4. Connections without Backlight
Figure 5. Connections with Loop-Powered Backlight
Loop-powered backlight brightness will increase as
the input signal current increases. If constant
backlight brightness is desired, the backlight should
be powered by an external source.
Figure 6. Connections with Externally-Powered Backlight
It is possible to use the same transmitter (signal loop)
power supply for the externally powered backlight.
The backlight circuit will draw 25 mA in addition to the
loop circuit.
External Acknowledge Connection
External acknowledge connections are made to two
terminals labeled RESET. Connect to a contact closure
source such as a relay or a pushbutton as shown in
Figure 7
.

Connections
Open Collector Output
Connections
Output connections are made to two terminals labeled
OUTPUT. The output can be connected to an input
device such as alarm indicator as shown in
Figure 8
, or
to drive a relay as shown in
Figure 9
.
•
To avoid damaging the PD6700-0L1
’s amplifying
components, use care not to wire incorrectly or
exceed output ratings. A diode, such as 1N4000
series, will provide protection from relay
transients.
