WARNING

Control of valves

Implement suitable measures if you use valves which are not supplied by METTLER
TOLEDO! If electromagnets are attached, the output circuits of the valve outputs can start
to oscillate. The valves then remain open which could lead to a hazardous situation
with certain applications.

− Do connect a resistor-capacitor element next to the valve.
ð Use the schematics below on how to connect a resistor-capacitor element (RC

element).
