Design
The signal converter is screwed to a universal plate. The electrical connection is established via a 4-pin plug and a 4-pin socket. The
component is fitted onto the slotted profile plate using the rotary system with the blue knurled nut (fitting version "B"). The component can
be fitted onto the slotted profile plate in-line with or perpendicular to the slot.

Function
The signal converter converts analogue voltage output signals from a sensor into switching points. It closes or opens one of the two circuits
(Out A, Out B) when the adjustable switching points are reached. Possible switching functions are threshold value, hysteresis or window
comparator. The switching characteristic (N/C, N/O) can also be selected.

Note
The signal converter is designed for connecting the position transmitter (order no. 560124). Use the accompanying connecting cable with M8
plug and M8 socket for this purpose.
