Lenze E82ZAFS Function Module for Versatile I/O Needs
Product Introduction
The E82ZAFS function module comes from Lenze’s well-known Series 8200. Many engineers choose this E82ZAFS model for mixed-signal applications. It provides one analog input and one analog output. Additionally, it offers four digital inputs and one digital output. The rated supply voltage stands at (Red) 24 volts DC. Its adjustable frequency range runs from 0 to 50 Hertz. Therefore, this module fits various control systems with ease.
Technical Specifications
The Lenze E82ZAFS handles both analog and digital I/O types. Below are the key numbers:
Analog inputs: (Red) 1 analog input
Analog outputs: (Red) 1 analog output
Digital inputs: 4 digital inputs
Digital outputs: 1 digital output
Frequency range: 0 to 50 Hertz (adjustable)
Electrical connection: Screw terminal
Rated supply voltage: (Red) 24 Volts DC
First, the single analog input allows you to read sensors or transmitters. Next, the analog output can drive actuators or other field devices. Meanwhile, the four digital inputs accept status signals from switches or proximity sensors. Finally, the single digital output controls small relays or indicators. This balanced I/O mix makes the module highly practical for local control tasks.
For instance, you can connect a temperature sensor to the analog input. Then use the analog output to send a speed reference to a drive. Furthermore, the four digital inputs can monitor start/stop or fault signals. Consequently, the E82ZAFS reduces the need for extra I/O cards.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The module works reliably under harsh conditions. Its ambient operating temperature ranges from (Red) -20°C to 60°C. Storage temperature spans -25°C to 60°C. Additionally, the protection class is (Red) IP20. This rating protects against solid objects larger than 12mm. However, you must keep it away from water or dust.
Specifically, the screw terminal type ensures a secure wire connection. You will not need special tools for wiring. Moreover, the module weighs only 0.09 pounds. Thus, it places almost no load on your DIN rail or panel.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these steps to install the Lenze E82ZAFS correctly:
Mount the module on a standard 35mm DIN rail inside an IP54 or higher enclosure.
Turn off the 24V DC supply before any wiring activity.
Connect the 24V DC power to the designated screw terminals. Observe polarity.
Wire analog signals using shielded cables to reduce noise. Keep analog wires away from power cables.
Wire digital inputs and output with standard copper conductors (0.2–1.5 mm²).
Adjust the frequency range from 0 to 50 Hz via the host controller or potentiometer.
Power on the system and verify each I/O point.
Additionally, you should leave at least 50mm of free space around the module for airflow. Avoid placing it near large contactors or variable frequency drives that generate strong electromagnetic interference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can the Lenze E82ZAFS work with a 12V DC supply?
No. The E82ZAFS requires a rated supply voltage of (Red) 24V DC. Using 12V DC may cause erratic operation or failure.
2. How do I connect multiple digital inputs to this module?
Each of the four digital inputs connects independently to a dry contact or NPN/PNP sensor. Then wire the common terminal to the 24V DC return. Always check the manual for exact pin assignments.
3. Is the analog output isolated from the digital section?
The Lenze E82ZAFS does not provide full isolation between analog and digital circuits. Therefore, use proper grounding and shielded cables to avoid noise coupling.
4. Can I use this module in a mobile application (vehicle or crane)?
Yes, but only if the ambient temperature stays within -20°C to 60°C. Additionally, protect the module from vibration and moisture beyond IP20 limits.
5. What happens if I exceed the 50 Hz frequency range?
The adjustable frequency range is limited to 0–50 Hz. Exceeding this range may cause unpredictable output behavior. For higher frequencies, select a different Lenze module from the Series 8200 family.
