Description
The VAA-4E-G4-ZE is an AS-Interface coupling module with four inputs. Mecha-
nical contacts and 2- and 3-wire sensors can be connected to the inputs. The IP67
rated module features completely encapsulated electronics. The robust housing is
ideal for applications where heavy vibration may be encountered such as valve
positioning and actuation.
Sensors attach to PG cable glands and cage tension spring terminals. LEDs indi-
cate the current switch status of each channel and display the AS-Interface voltage
and power supply status.
Both flat and round cables can be used for the AS-Interface network. Use the U-
G1F or U-G1FF base for AS-Interface flat cable or the U-G1P or U-G1PP base for
round cable. The AS-Interface standardized base U-G1FF (EEMS) uses the ca-
ble-piercing method to connect both the yellow and black flat cables.
Note: The mounting base for the module is sold separately.
Subject to reasonable modifications due to technical advances.
