This signal conditioner is a 4-channel barrier with outputs that switch 600 mA to high-power solenoids. It is also used as power amplifier up to a
switching frequency of 1 kHz.
Two channels per module can be paralleled. The output current of a parallel combination is 1.2 A. If the supply voltage falls below 18 V, the
outputs will be switched off.
The outputs are sustained short-circuit proofed and overload-proofed
Lead breakage and short circuit, which is selected via DIP switch, is indicated by a red LED and through the collective error output via Power Rail.
With the common disable input (terminals 11 and 12), the auxiliary power for all 4 channels can be switched off simultaneously. This central
switch-off is also indicated by a red LED and reported as an error signal to the Power Rail.

The outputs are switched high and current-limited for each channel (electronically pulsed). They are suited for inductive loads
such as magnet operated valves or solenoid coils and incandescent lamps or indicator lamps.
Each channel is continuous short circuit- and overload-proof. In this case, the max. power loss in the device of 2 W (U
is not exceeded.
2 channels per device may be paralleled input- and output-sided. The output current of this dual combination may not exceed
1.2 A. Both remaining channels may not be loaded with more than (in sum) 200 mA.
The maximum current loading capacity of the Power Rail is to be considered. Alternatively, the device may be supplied with the
terminals 14+, 15-.

Short circuit detection is only active when the output is activated (1-Signal).
Behavior when common disable is active
If common disable is active (0-Signal at terminals 11, 12), all outputs are switched to a de-energized state. When line fault
monitoring S1 ... S4 of a channel is active, its switching state/fault signal LED flashes red and the collective error is output to the
Power Rail.
Behavior in the event of undervoltage
If the supply voltage falls below 18 V, the device reacts as follows:
• All outputs are disabled.
• The green power LED goes out.
• A collective error message is output.
