This is our stated over voltage protection (our systems are designed for +6\/-6V operation).  These sensors are protected by a 6.2V zener diode and a 100 ohm current-limiting resistor in series. This works nicely at 10V. At higher voltages, there is a chance that you can damage the zener diode (but not the rest of the circuit). Applying higher voltages to these sensors can damage them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the DCP and DVP manuals, we specify that the maximum voltage on any input is +\/-10V.
