3.1.2.3. Connecting the Status Outputs
If you wish to utilize the analyzer’s status outputs to interface with a device that accepts logic-level digital inputs,
such as programmable logic controller (PLC) chips, you can access them through a 12 pin connector on the
analyzer’s rear panel labeled STATUS.

NOTE
Most PLC’s have internal provisions for limiting the current the input will draw. When
connecting to a unit that does not have this feature, external resistors must be used to
limit the current through the individual transistor outputs to ≤50mA (120 Ω for 5V
supply).
Table 3-3: Status Output Signals
PIN # STATUS CONDITION (ON = CONDUCTING)
1 SYSTEM OK ON if no faults are present.
2 CONC VALID ON if concentration measurement (NO, NO2 or NOx) is valid.
OFF any time the hold-off feature is active.
3 HIGH RANGE ON if unit is in high range of the Auto Range Mode.
4 ZERO CAL ON whenever the instrument is in ZERO point calibration mode.
5 SPAN CAL ON whenever the instrument is in SPAN point calibration mode.
6 DIAG MODE ON whenever the instrument is in diagnostic mode.
7 LOW SPAN CAL ON when in low span calibr ation (optional equipment necessary)
