Prevents manipulation due to object recognition (by measuring the impedance)
Opening of the housing during operation in gas-hazardous areas is allowed
Automatic diagnosis system self-monitors all safety-related functions continuously
Due to the cable compensation, it is also possible to connect cables up to 30 m
NAMUR-compatible Ex i control output
