Connecting Signal Source to Digital Input
Digital signals for the active power supply can be transmitted to the jack X3. A ripple control receiver or a remote terminal unit can be used as a digital signal source, for example.
-
Digital signal source with up to 4 potential-free contacts
-
Connection cable
Requirements:
The signal source must be technically suitable for connection to the digital inputs ( > Technical Data).
-
The connection cable must be prepared for connection to the multipole terminal block ( > Preparing the Connection Cable).

Circuitry overview:

Connection of a Ripple Control Receiver
- Connect the connection cable to the digital signal source (see the manual from manufacturer).
- Connect the connection cable to the supplied six-pole plug. For this, unlock the required terminal positions using a suitable tool and plug the conductors into these terminal positions.
- Connect the six-pole plug to terminal X3. Observe the pin assignment.
- Note the terminal assignment.
