Signet 8059 External Relay Module

2. Specifi cations

1. Description

Signet 8059 External Relay Modules supplement the output capabilities of certain host instruments such as Signet 8250 Level 
Transmitters. AC-powered versions accept universal line voltage, and also provide 24 VDC output that can be used to power the host 
instrument or other device(s). The host instrument controls relay operation by way of a single S

3

L connection. The compact plastic 

housing is DIN rail mountable and includes LED annunciators for each relay, plus one each for power-on and data transfer or test 
mode.
