IMPORTANT
The max. length of a signal cable with 24 Vac supply
is 550 ft (170 m). The max. length of a two-wire,
0...10 Vdc signal cable is 1,300 ft (400 m). The
secondary side of the transformer must not be
connected to earth ground.

IMPORTANT
We recommend installing a fuse on the secondary
side of the transformer in order to protect the devices
against miswiring.
Analog Inputs
Technical Description
The analog inputs convert data from passive sensors and
active sensors with voltage output. The analog inputs can be
used as current inputs for active sensors, but then an external
resistor parallel to the sensor is necessary. It is also possible
to feed digital signals to the analog inputs (see also section
"Sensors and Transducers" on page 14.
Technical Specification
Number: Eight analog inputs
Types of input signals:
NTC 20 kΩ
0 to +10 V (max. +11 V)
0 (4) to 20 mA (with an external resistor of 499 Ω ±0.25%
[see Fig. 22])
Each input is switched automatically via software either as
input for NTC 20 kΩ (low impedance) or voltage source
0...+10V (max. +11 V, high impedance).
NTC 20k ohms: Range = -58 … +302 °F (-50 … +150 °C)
Voltage source: Range = 0...10 V
IMPORTANT
The analog inputs are protected against short circuit
and overvoltage up to 24 Vac and 40 Vdc. If any
input is sourced with more than 40 Vdc or negative
voltage, the other inputs will be influenced. This
could result in wrong values.
