1) Limit values when operated in short-circuit protected network: max. 8 A. 

2) May not exceed or fall below Uv tolerances. 

3) Without load. 4) Q = light switching. 5) Pin 4: this switching output must not be connected to any other output. 6) Signal transit time with resistive load. 

7) Valid for Q \ on Pin2, if configured with software. 8) With light/dark ratio 1:1. 9) With light / dark ratio 1:1, valid for Q \ on Pin2, if configured with software. 10) A = VS connections reverse-polarity protected. 11) B = inputs and output reverse-polarity protected. 12) C = interference suppression. 

13) As of Ta = 50 °C, a max. supply voltage Vmax. = 24 V and a max. load current Imax. = 50 mA is permitted. 

14) Operation below Tu –10 °C is possible if the sensor is already switched on at Tu > –10 °C, then cools down, and the supply voltage is subsequently not switched off. Switching on below Tu –10 °C is not permissible.
