If the sensor output goes low at the limit, select the option “closed”. If the output is open, or high

voltage, choose “open”.

Other sensors have sourcing outputs. That means that current can flow out of the sensor output, but

not into it. In that case, wire the sensor this way:

If the sensor output goes high at the limit, choose the program option “closed”. if the output is low at

the limit, select “open”.

Wiring a Mechanical Limit Switch

You can use normally open or normally closed limit switches. Either way, wire them as shown here.

Wiring a Limit Sensor

Some systems use active limit sensors that produce a voltage output rather than a switch or relay

closure. These devices must be wired differently than switches.

If your sensor has an open collector output or a sinking output, wire it like this:
