The Dimension CD5-series offer DIN-rail DC/DC 
converters in the 120W output power range in a very 
compact housing. 
These DC/DC converters are allowed to run from a 
battery, can also be used to refresh and stabilize the 
24Vdc on the end of a long cable or to isolate 
specific loads from the 24V bus voltage. 
The CD5.241 includes all the essential basic functions 
while the CD5.241-S1 is equipped with quick-connect 
spring clamp terminals, a DC-OK-contact which 
monitors the output and an input-low-relay-contact. 
Both devices have a power reserve of 20% and this 
extra power can be used continuously up to +45°C.
