4-in-1 Output
The 4-in-1 output automatically detects the connected load,
so the output either sources or sinks current depending
on the load. A second wire connected to either side of the
supply selects normally open or normally closed mode.
A single sensor can operate as NPN normally open, NPN
normally closed, PNP normally open, or PNP normally closed.
