Binary Input N 260 5WG1 260-1AB01
4 x 230 V AC
Product and Applications Description
The binary input N 260 is a N-system DIN-rail mounted
device with four inputs for AC 230 V switching or keying
signals from separate external outside lines (L1, L2, L3)
with a shared reference potential (N).
Each of the inputs can be assigned various tasks
depending on the application program used, i.e. the
binary input N 260 consists of the device (hardware) and
its application programs (software).
Appropriate application programs are available for
the different tasks the binary input N 260 can handle;
e.g. sending of on/off telegrams at different edges of the
input signal either event-controlled or cyclic with
parametrisable repetition intervals.
With the ETS (EIB Tool Software) the application
program is selected, its parameters and addresses are
assigned appropriately, and downloaded to the binary
input N 260.

Installation Instructions
• The device may be used for permanent interior
installations in dry locations within distribution boards.
WARNING
V
• The device may be built into distribution boards
(230/400 V) if VDE-certified devices are used
exclusively and must be mounted and commissioned
by an authorised electrician.
• A safety disconnection of the device must be possible.
Especially if the device is connected to different
phases.
• Free DIN rail areas must be covered with covers,
order no. 5WG1 192-8AA01.
• The prevailing safety rules must be heeded.
• The device must not be opened. A device suspected
faulty should be returned to the local Siemens office.
