Beyond these limits, the output could be clipped. (See Figure 2 on page 12.)

This rating assumes that the common mode voltage ratings are not exceeded. (See
Figure 2 on page 12.)
3
The Common Mode and input voltage-to-earth ratings are the maximum ratings of each
input lead (+/-) to ground. (See Figure 2 on page 12.)
4
Applies to CAT I ratings only. The OVT peak is measured on top of the Peak Working
Voltage.
