-

 Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the unit yourself. The unit 

has no user serviceable parts. Defective units must be disconnected and 
submitted for repairs at an authorized service centre.

The unit is designed for operation in an industrial environment and must 
not be used in a household environment or similar. 

2. 

   GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

 

 

Module type 

SIN-8 

allows monitoring of 8 binary inputs. Standard transmission functions 

of Modbus protocol make the device registers (address,  state of inputs,  device ID) accessible 

via RS-485 interface.
