PARTICULAR USE SENSORS SENSOR OPTIONS SIMPLE WIRE-SAVING UNITS * Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on. WIRE-SAVING SYSTEMS Top sensing H J MEASUREMENT SENSORS * T he sensor must be connected to a power supply via a load. If the sensor is connected to a power supply without a load, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inoperable. (The output stays in the OFF state and the indicator does not light up.) In this case, rectify by connecting the power supply via a load. Now, the sensor becomes operable. Further, take care that if the power supply is connected with reverse polarity without a load, the sensor will get damaged.

Series connection (AND circuit) Parallel connection (OR circuit) When all sensors are in the ON state, the load voltage Load VRL is given by: VRL = Vcc - n x 3 (V) VRL Vcc: supply voltage + Vcc ( 24 V DC max.) - n: number of sensors Make sure that the load can work properly at this voltage. Load Icc (IL) + - When all sensors are in the OFF state, the load leakage current Icc is given by: Icc = n x 0.8 (mA) (n : number of sensors) Make sure that the load can work properly. Vcc Note : The load current in the ON state is given by : Vcc - 3 V IL = Load resistance (mA) GXL-8 type : 3 mA x n lL 70 mA n: number of sensors turned ON GXL-15 type : 3 mA x n lL 100 mA n: number of sensors turned ON ( ( * The residual voltage of the sensor is 3 V. Before connecting a relay at the load, take care of its actuation voltage. (Some 12 V relays may not be usable.)
