Output Types

The Type “B” output is a mechanical device and subject to wear. To extend the life of the relay, set the Cycle Time for the relay output to the longest duration that still affords good control.

When you ordered your Series C controller specific output types were specified, designated as “B”, “E”, “F”, “G”, “S”, “T” or “Y”. You also had the option of configuring your con- troller with either one or two output actions. The numbers below are suggested for most typical applications.

Output Type

Description

B5 A (120/240 Vac) relay, normally open, used for switching resistive loads. If relays or sole- noids are to be driven, select the “T” output. If a “B” output is selected, order snubber network 235Z005U01.

E0-20 mA

F4-20 mA, full output to load with 500 ohm impedance max. (suppressed).

GHigh impedance ‘F’ (800 ohms).

S20 Vdc pulsed output for solid-state relays.

T1 A @ 120/240 Vac, solid-state relay, zero volt- age-switched and optically isolated from drive signal. Only resistive loads to 1A may be con- trolled directly. Larger loads may be controlled using an external contactor.

Y5 A (120/240 Vac) relay, but normally closed (output 2 only).
