Wiring Precautions Section 3-6
• The circuit below should NOT be used for I/O devices having a voltage
output.
Precautions when
Connecting a Two-wire DC
Sensor
When using a two-wire sensor with a 24-V DC input device, check that the fol-
lowing conditions have been met. Failure to meet these conditions may result
in operating errors.
