Option D Undervoltage monitor
The input and/or output undervoltage monitoring circuit op-
erates independently of the built-in input undervoltage lock-
out circuit. A logic "low" (JFET output) or "high" signal (NPN
output) is generated at pin 20 as soon as one of the moni-
tored voltages drops below the preselected threshold level
Ut. The return for this signal is Vo1–. The D output recovers
when the monitored voltage(s) exceed(s)
Ut + Uh. The

threshold levels
Uti and Uto are either adjustable by a
potentiometer, accessible through a hole in the front cover,
or factory adjusted to a fixed value specified by the cus-
tomer.
Option D exists in various versions D0...DD as shown in the
following table.

1 Threshold level adjustable by potentiometer
2 Fixed value tracking if Uo1 is adjusted via R-input, option P or sense lines.
3 The threshold level permanently adjusted according to customer specification
±2 % at 25°C. Any value within the specified range is
basically possible but causes a special type designation in addition to the standard option designations (D0/D9 respectively)!
