Symbols Used:

• Important Note Symbol: Non-compliance may result in malfunction or interference.
• Warning Symbol: Indicates potential serious personal injury. Death or serious irreversible injuries may result.
• General Warning Symbol: Indicates important information in the operating instructions.

Safety Instructions:

• Disconnect power before installation.
• Mount the unit in a control cabinet with a protection rating of at least IP 54 to ensure protection against accidental contact with dangerous contact voltages and against external influence.
• Install the control cabinet in accordance with local and national regulations.
• Leave enough space between the unit and the top or bottom of the control cabinet as well as adjacent devices to enable air circulation and avoid inadmissible heating.

Installation Instructions:

• Take necessary precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling the device.
• Operate the device only when mounted on a grounded DIN rail.
• Do not open the devices, insert any objects into the devices, or allow metal foreign bodies to penetrate.

Electrical Connection:

• The device must be connected by a qualified electrician following national and international regulations for electrical equipment installation.
• Disconnect the system from power before connecting the unit.
• The unit is only suitable for operation using SELV/PELV voltages.

IO-Link Connection:

• The connected IO-Link devices must be supplied exclusively via the AL19x0 masters.
• For class B operation, any additional supply UA must be electrically isolated from the circuit US of the AL19xx while assuring basic isolation.

Wiring:
Connect the IO-Link master to 24V DC (20-30V SELV/PELV) via port X31.
