Maximum switching power
Do not exceed the limit values. In order to permanently ensure safe operation, the
following load values are recommended:
Voltage
(per IEC 38)
DC/AC
230 V
110 V
48 V
24 V
The switching current must not be less than 20 mA with low voltages for switching relia-
bility reasons.
Overcurrent protectors
The instruments do not provide for incorporated overcurrent protectors. Should protec-
tors be required, the following values in accordance with EN 60 947-5-1 are to be
recommended.
Voltage 24 V: 2 A
