Intrinsically Safe Current Output Ex ib
The current output may be fed with max. 28.2 V DC/0.76 W.
If the transmitter is disconnected from the power supply during the measurement:
• the passive current output continues being powered thanks to an external power supply
• the last measured value is output.
In order to check the function of the transmitter:
• the binary output is installed and activated
• the binary output is used as an alarm output.
For the installation and activation of the binary output see chapter 18.
Recommended configuration of the alarm output
If the transmitter is disconnected from the power supply, the binary output indicates an alarm state.
