  • OUT2: Can be configured as either:
    • A second PNP/NPN switching output (NO/NC).
    • An analog output (either 4-20 mA or 0-10 V).
• Switching Output Rating: 250 mA per output.
• Power Supply: 18…36 V DC
• Display: 4-digit, red alphanumeric display for showing real-time pressure and for programming.
• Protection Class: IP65

## Wiring & Pinout (M12 Connector)

The device uses a standard 4-pin M12 connector with the following pinout:

• Pin 1: L+ (Power Supply, 18-36 V DC)
• Pin 2: OUT2 (Programmable: Switching Output 2 or Analog Output)
• Pin 3: L- (Ground)
• Pin 4: OUT1 (Switching Output 1)

## Functionality and Features

The ifm PN5024 is a very versatile sensor. Its key features include:

• 3-in-1 Functionality: It replaces a traditional mechanical pressure gauge, two separate pressure switches, and an analog transmitter.
• On-device Programming: Using the buttons on the sensor head, you can easily set the switch points, reset points, output functions (NO/NC), and configure the analog output range without needing any special tools.
• Clear Visual Feedback: The large, bright digital display provides a constant, easy-to-read indication of the system pressure.
• Robust Design: With a stainless steel process connection and high overpressure protection, it is built for demanding industrial environments.

In a typical application, it could be used to turn a pump on or off at specific pressure setpoints (using the switching outputs) while simultaneously sending a proportional 4-20 mA signal of the live pressure to a central PLC for data logging and system monitoring.
