5.2 Port Identification and Wiring

The device features clearly labeled and color-coded ports for easy identification and connection. Refer to the diagram below for port layout:

Figura 5.2: Dispositivo sopraview con componenti etichettati.

The main ports are:

• Black (COM): Common port. In input mode, paired with Blue (IN-) or Yellow (IN+) for signal reception. In output mode, paired with Red (OUT) or Blue (IN-) (24V) for signal output or power.
• Red (OUT): Output port. Paired with Black (COM) for signal output.
• Blue (IN-): Dual-function port. Input negative, paired with Yellow (IN+) for signal reception. Can also be switched to a 24V test power source when paired with Black (COM).
• Yellow (IN+): Input port. Paired with Blue (IN-) for the external signal's positive terminal.
