4.1 Connection requirements
#Warning!
Note that the entire electrical connection must be carried out only while the device is
de-energized.
"Caution!
• Before commissioning, ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the specification on the
nameplate.
• Provide a suitable switch or power-circuit breaker in the building installation. This switch
must be installed close to the device (so that it is easily accessible) and marked as a circuit
breaker.
• An overload protection unit (rated current = 10 A) is required for the power cable.

To ensure the highest level of accuracy, we recommend using the RTD 4-wire connection, as
this compensates for measurement inaccuracies caused by the mounting location of the sensors

4.4 Outputs
4.4.1 Analog output
This output can be used either as a 0/4 to 20 mA current output or as a voltage pulse output.
The output is galvanically isolated. For the terminal assignment, refer to →ä14.
4.4.2 Pulse output
Active voltage pulses are output at the pulse output.
Voltage level:
• 0 to 2 V corresponds to Low level
• 15 to 20 V corresponds to High level
Maximum output current: 22 mA
4.4.3 Open collector output
The two digital outputs can be used as status or pulse outputs. Make the selection in the
following menus: Setup ÉAdvanced setup or Expert ÉOutputs ÉOpen Collector
4.5 Communication
!Note!
The USB interface is always active and can be used independently of other interfaces. Parallel
operation of multiple optional interfaces, e.g. fieldbus and Ethernet, is not possible.
4.5.1 Ethernet TCP/IP (optional)
The Ethernet interface is galvanically isolated (testing voltage: 500 V). A standard patch cable
(e.g. CAT5E) can be used to connect the Ethernet interface. A special cable gland is available for
this purpose which allows users to guide pre-terminated cables through the housing. Via the
Ethernet interface, the device can be connected using a hub or a switch or directly to office
equipment.
• Standard: 10/100 Base-T/TX (IEEE 802.3)
• Socket: RJ-45
• Max. line length: 100 m

4.5.2 Modbus TCP (optional)
The Modbus TCP interface is used to connect the device to higher-order systems to transmit all
measured values and process values. The Modbus TCP interface is physically identical to the
Ethernet interface (→ä19). Connection →å18.
4.5.3 Modbus RTU (optional)
The Modbus RTU (RS-485) interface is galvanically isolated (testing voltage: 500 V) and used to
connect the device to higher-order systems to transmit all measured values and process values.
It is connected via a 3-pin plug-in terminal in the housing cover.
