Page 7: Status Inputs
2200 ohms = Internal resistor For example: To connect a 48 VDC signal voltage to an input on the I/O Sentinel 4 G2 in “wet” configuration the completed equation for the external resistor value would be: R = ((48-1.2)/0.009)-2200 = 3000 ohms To calculate the power dissipated by the external resistor, the equation would be: P = I x I x R, so the resistor must be at least .009 x .009 x 2200 = 0.243 Watts,... -
