(1) External resistors are required if they are not internal to the sensor. The pull-up resistor (R) value depends on the power supply value. The table
below shows the maximum resistor values for typical supply voltages. To calculate the maximum resistor value, the following formula:
DC

Vmin
R

--------------------------------------
Imin
Where:
R = maximum pull-up resistor value
VDC = power supply voltage
Vmin = 2.6V DC
Imin = 6.8 mA
Power Supply Voltage (VDC)
5V DC
12V DC
24V DC
(1) Resistance values may change, depending upon your application.
The minimum resistor (R) value depends on the current sinking capability of the sensor. Refer to
your sensor's documentation for more information.
