Product description
Technical requirements for testable sensors
Test in active state (when material activates sensor).
Sensor output signal "LOW" in active state.
Testing function
To ensure the muting sensor is functioning and connected,
when the muting sensor is active (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) and on
changeover from HIGH to LOW signal a brief test signal (LOW
signal) is sent to the sensor every 20 minutes and a HIGH
signal at its output is awaited in reply. The test pulse lasts
30 ms and has no effect on the muting function.
Advantages of testable sensors
Additional security against manipulation
Defects in the muting sensor are revealed
