9) CableSelection
Whenselecting the cable size consideration mustbegivento
the inputcurrentthateach unit draws(seetable above), and
the length ofthe cableruns.
SAFETY WARNING: If the high outputBExDTS110D units are
used athighambienttemperatures,i.e. over+40ºC, then the
cable entrytemperature mayexceed +70ºCand therefore
suitable heat resistingcablesmustbeused, witharated
service temperatureofat least 110ºC.
10) Earthing
The Sontelunits mustbeconnectedtoagood quality earth.
The unitsareprovidedwithinternal and externalearthing
terminalswhichare bothlocatedonthe terminalchamber
sectionoftheunit (seefigures 2and3).
Whenusingtheinternal earth terminalensure thatthe

wireand the enclosure.
Whenusingtheinternal earth terminalensure thatthe

When using theexternal earthterminal a cablecrimp lugmust
be used. Thecablelugshould be locatedbetween thetwoM5
stainlesssteelflat washers. TheM5stainlesssteel spring
washermust be fixed betweenthe outer flatwasher andthe
M5 stainless steel nut toensurethatthe cablelugissecured
againstlooseningand twisting.
The internalearthbondingwireensures that agoodquality
earth is maintained betweentheflameproofchambercasting
and the flameproofcovercasting.
11) CableGlands
The BExDTS110DSontelshave dual cableglandentries
whichhave an M20x1.5asstandard.Onlycable glands
approvedfor Ex‘d’applicationscan beused,which mustbe
suitable forthetype ofcablebeingusedand alsomeetthe
requirementsofthe Ex‘d’flameproof installationstandard
EN60079-14:2008/ IEC60079-14:2007.
Whenonly one cable entry isusedtheotherone mustbe
closed with an Ex ‘d’flameproofblankingplug,which mustbe
suitablyapprovedfortheinstallation requirements.
For combustibledust applications, the cableentry deviceand
blanking elementsshall be in type of explosionprotection

an IP 6Xratingaccording toEN 60529.
SAFETY WARNING: IftheBExDTS110D Sontelsareusedat
high ambienttemperatures,i.e.over+40ºC,thenthecable
entry temperaturemay exceed+70ºCand thereforesuitable
heatresisting cable glands mustbe used,with arated service
temperature of at least 110ºC.
12) CableConnections

enclosure.Theprintedcircuitboardhastwoterminal blocks;
one for thepowersupply inputvoltageand onefor the
telephone signalinputcable(seefigures 4and 5). The power
input cableshouldenterthe enclosurevia oneofthe M20
cable entries and be connected to thesupply terminals (L and
N) AC units (+ve and –ve) DCunitsandthetelephonesignal
cable should entertheenclosure via theotherM20entryand
be connectedtothetelephone terminal.
A singlewire withacross sectionalarea ofup to 4mm² can be
connectedtoeachterminal way. Whenconnecting wires to the
terminalsgreat care should betakento dressthewire so that
whenthecoverisinsertedintothechamberthewires donot
exert excesspressureonthe terminalblocks. Thisis
particularlyimportantwhenusingcableswithlarge cross
