WARNING!

• Remove power to unit before wiring input and output connections.

• Do not alter product construction.

• This product should only be used for the purposes
and in the manner described in this manual.

• This unit must be installed on a DIN rail.

1. Description

Signet 8059 External Relay Modules supplement the output capabilities of certain host instruments such as Signet 8250 Level
Transmitters. AC-powered versions accept universal line voltage, and also provide 24 VDC output that can be used to power the host
instrument or other device(s). The host instrument controls relay operation by way of a single S3L connection. The compact plastic
housing is DIN rail mountable and includes LED annunciators for each relay, plus one each for power-on and data transfer or test
mode.

WARNING

• This unit must be installed inside a protected panel.

• Always connect to earth ground.

• Disconnect power before wiring.

• Do not install where persons may inadvertently come in
physical contact with the terminals.

• Include protection devices in the power system in case of
power supply malfunction. A very high voltage may occur at
output terminals during failure.

• Do not touch immediately after removing power. Some
surface areas may be very hot.

• Do not exceed temperature specifi cations.

• Do not store or operate the AC power supply in any
environment subjected to vibrations or shock.
