Siemens Industry, Inc.

 

NOTE:

 

When power is not supplied to the 
Commissioning Tool, LEDs do not 
activate. The digital display is not used, 
and reads zero in this mode.  

1.

 

To supply a resistive signal, connect Terminals 
3, 4, and 5 (POT WIPER) of the OUTPUTS 
terminal block to the control inputs of the 
actuator or device being controlled (

Figure 6

). 

Also see the appropriate actuator 
documentation for wiring application 
information. 

 

Figure 6.  Resistive Signal Connections.  

 
2.

 

If the actuator is externally powered, skip to 
Step 3.  
See the 

Powering a Non-externally Powered 

Actuator or Control Device

 section for a 

procedure to apply power to the device from the 
Commissioning Tool.  

3.

 

Use the toggle switch (

Figure 7

) to select the 

resistance range of 0 to 135 ohms or 0 to 
1k ohms.  

NOTE:

 

If a three-wire variable resistance is 
desired, select the 0 to 1k ohm resistance 
range.  

4.

 

See the 

Powering Commissioning Tool 

section 

for a procedure to apply power to the 
Commissioning Tool.  

5.

 

If the resistive mode green LED (

Figure 7

) does 

not light, depress the SELECT MODE 
pushbutton to activate the resistive mode. The 
green LED should then light and indicate that 
the resistive mode is active.  

6.

 

Turn the dial (Figure 7) to adjust the level of 
resistance.  

 

 

Figure 7.  Resistive Mode.  

 

Proportional Voltage Mode (Vdc) 

1.

 

To supply a 0 to 20 Vdc signal, connect 
Terminals 2 (COM) and 3 (Vdc) of the OUTPUTS 
terminal block to the actuator or device being 
controlled (

Figure 8

). Also see the appropriate 

actuator documentation for wiring application 
information.  

 

Figure 8.  Voltage Signal Connections.  

2.

 

If the actuator is externally powered, skip to 
Step 3.  
See the 

Powering a Non-externally Powered 

Actuator or Control Device

 section for a 

procedure to apply power to the device from the 
Commissioning Tool. 

3.

 

Use the toggle switch (

Figure 9

) to select the 

OUTPUT display mode.  

4.

 

See the 

Powering Commissioning Tool 

section 

for a procedure to apply power to the 
Commissioning Tool. 

5.

 

Depress the SELECT MODE pushbutton to 
activate the voltage mode. A green LED should 
light and indicate that the voltage mode is active 
(

Figure 9

).
