The 2-channel IM1-231EX-R isolating switching amplifier is equipped with intrinsically safe
input circuits.
Sensors according to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR)
or potential-free contact transmitters can be
connected to the device.
The output circuits each feature a relay with
a changeover contact. In addition, the device
features a common alarm output.

Via four switches on the front, the output
mode (work or quiescent current behavior, i.e.
NO/NC) can be switched on and off separately for each channel as well as wire-break (WB)
and short-circuit monitoring (SC).
When using mechanical contacts, wire-break
and short-circuit monitoring must be switched
off or the contacts must be wired to resistors
(II) (see circuit diagram).
The Pwr LED lights green to indicate operational readiness. The 2-color LED 1 lights yellow to indicate the switching status of the output. In the event of an input circuit error, the 2-
color LED turns red, with the input circuit monitoring switched on. Thereupon the output and
the alarm relay drop out.
