Compatibility Hint
This product has been designed as a replacement of the following two units:
GV202 (dual splitter with TTL Input)
GV203 (dual splitter with HTL input)
The new GV204 model is fully compatible to the previous models with all functions, connections,
dimensions and technical specifications. Merely the successor model provides an additional DIL
switch to set the input format to either TTL or HTL level, which allows to replace both parent
models by just one new model.
Moreover, GV204 provides a few technical upgrades (e.g. higher frequencies), resulting in
increased quality without affecting the compatibility.

Application
The GV 204 splitter has been designed for proper and trouble-free splitting of encoder signals to
two target units. Where signals have to be distributed to more targets, it is easy to cascade
several units (or to use a multi-splitter like GV470)
If applicable, the unit can at the same time operate as a level converter between TTL/RS422
levels and HTL (10 … 30 V) levels.
It is possible to use only inputs A, B, Z and leave the inverted inputs /A, /B, /Z unconnected
(single-ended signals with HTL level)
When all signals A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z are available, GV 204 will accept all industrial impulse formats
and levels like RS422, TTL-differential, HTL-differential).
The outputs provide all signals A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z, even when the inverted signals are not
available on the input site. The output signal level is individually selectable to 5 V or to
10 ... 30 V, by corresponding DIL switch setting.
