NOTE: in case of combined load, i.e. resistive and capacitive, the maximum admissible
capacity (C) is 0.05F for maximum output voltage and current.

Cable exit option H

NOTE: (pin connections): At present, all plug exit sensors have

the output on pin 4. According to EEC Directives, the output of
NC plug exit models will be changing to pin 2 (NO will remain
on pin 4). A plug cable to match these NC sensors MUST be a
4-wire type as 3-wire cables are connected to pins 1, 3 and 4
