Connecting sensors and switches

Connecting sensors to the voltage inputs

The sensor signal range must be 0-5 Vdc. To detect signal errors such as short circuits
or interruptions the active signal range is recommended to be within 0.5-4.5 Vdc.

The current consumption related to the voltage input is negligible.
The following describes the connection of any analog sensor. This includes
temperature, pressure, angle and position sensors. The positive terminal of the sensor is
connected to the +VREF position and the corresponding negative terminal to the -
VREF position. The sensor signal is connected to appropriate VIN position. For a
resistive type element, select the potentiometer value for the sensor to achieve the best
linearity.
EXAMPLE
Connect the positive and negative terminals of the position sensor to
+VREF, position C2:8, and -VREF, position C2:7, respectively. Then
connect the sensor signal to VIN-A, position C2:10.
