Figure 1. Terminals and jumpers on CF8-D/W-IN. The darker positions are default settings. The push
button is for forcing a manual zero point calibration if the sensor does not enter the automatic zero
calibration mode just by flowing zero gas.

Electrical connections
The power supply has to be connected to G+ and G0. G0 is considered as system ground. The same
ground reference has to be used for the CF8-D/W-IN unit and for any connected device! Unless
different transformers are used, special precautions need to be taken.
PLEASE NOTE!
The signal ground is not galvanically separated from
the CF8-D/W-IN power supply!
The same ground reference has to be used for the
CF8-D/W-IN unit and for any connected device!
If possible keep the sensor powered up after mounting
in order to avoid condensation. Connect the analogue
output before measuring.
When the installation is complete an automatic zero
point calibration (AZC) must be done. An automatic
zero point calibration (AZC) must be done at least once
a year according to warranty limitations.

Table I. Electrical terminal connections for CF8-D/W-IN
Note 1: The ground terminal is used as negative power supply DC input or AC phase ground G0
(halfwave rectifier). The signal ground is the same as power ground G0 (permitting a ”3-wire”
configuration). A single transformer may be used for the entire system.
Note 2:CF8-D/W-IN can deliver both a voltage or a current loop for OUT1/OUT2. To change between
voltage and current output mode the hardware jumpers are used. There is one jumper for OUT1 and
one for OUT2, so that one output can be a voltage output and the other a current output.
Note 3:During start up the unit may deliver up to 10 VDC or 20 mA for up to half a second.
