3.4UNPACKING AND INSPECTION OF LMNET
G-Tek LmNet are dispatched in a recyclable, environment friendly package specially designed to give
adequate protection during transit. If the outer box shows sign of damage, it should be opened
immediately and the LmNet be examined. If there is evidence of damage, the instrument should not
be operated, and the local representative contacted for instructions. Ensure that all accessories and
documentation is removed from the box. If the LmNet is for immediate use, you can start installing it
now as per following instructions. Please preserve the original packing along with all internal packing
for future transport requirements.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
To comply with Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification,
route signal leads and power cables in earthed (grounded), flexible metal conduit.
Connect proper Earth to the Earthing terminal of the LmNet.
▪Instruments not fitted with the optional internal on/off switch and fuse must have a
disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit breaker conforming to local safety standards
fitted to the final installation. It must be fitted near the instrument within easy reach of the
operator and must be marked clearly as the disconnection device for the instrument.
▪Remove all power from supply, relay and any powered control circuits and high common
mode voltages before accessing or making any connections.
▪Use cable appropriate for the load currents. The terminals accept cables up to 14AWG
(2.5mm1).
▪The instrument and all inputs and outputs conform to Mains Power Input Insulation Category
ll.
▪All connections to secondary circuits must have basic insulation.
▪After installation, there must be no access to live parts e.g., terminals.
▪Terminals for external circuits are for use only with equipment with no accessible live parts.
▪If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the Company, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
▪All equipment connected to the instrument's terminals must comply with local safety
standards (IEC 60950, EN601010-1).
NOTE:
To ensure maximum LmNet performance, proper wiring installation practices must be followed.
Failure to do so can result in a range of problems, from loss of configuration to component failure,
caused by transmitted or radiated electrical noise. Proper consideration must be given to local noise
sources and appropriate suppression steps taken to minimize any potential problems. Among the
most common sources of noise are: Relays, SCRs, valve solenoids, electric motors, power line
disturbance, wire-to-wire coupling, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and radio-frequency interference
(RFI).

G-Tek Corporation Private Limited 11
To achieve the best results, the following notes should be considered:
1. Low level signal wiring such as that associated with thermocouples, RTDs and current loops
should always be kept separate from power and control output wiring.
2. Signal input wiring should be twisted pairs/triplets etc. The conductors should be stranded
rather than solid in construction. All signal wiring should use ground-shielded wires or be
routed through grounded conduit to minimize the effects of RFI and ESD.
3. Special care should be taken when wiring to relay or solenoid coils, as large transients are
produced when coils (or any other inductive loads like motors or arc welding equipment’s etc.)
are switched. This problem can be eliminated using suitable suppression devices across the
coil. Coil transients can also be transmitted through the air, so the recorder itself should be
mounted as far as possible from power control devices and/or wiring.
4. When line power is poorly regulated and / or subject to voltage surges or transients,
consideration should be given to the use of a line conditioning/transient suppressing line
power regulator. Process control motors, valves, relays, and heaters should not be connected
to the same power lines that are used for instrumentation.
5. The connection of the LmNet to a proper safety earth ground is essential. Such a connection
not only reduces the possibility of electric shock, but also provides the required return for the
LmNet line power filters.
6. All local electrical codes of practice must be followed when installing any instrumentation.
Check for proper Earthing:
Proper Earthing is necessary for best performance of the LmNet. Follow the steps mentioned below
to check whether the earthing given to the LmNet is proper or not:
▪Find out the Phase line of connection with the help of “Tester with Neon Lamp.” When Neon
Lamp glows, it is an indication of the phase line.
▪Once Phase is found, the other hole which is in line of phase is the Neutral line.
▪The third hole which is apparently bigger in diameter is the Earthing line.
▪Now take the voltmeter with appropriate measurement range (normally 750VAC or higher)
and put the probes into PHASE and NEUTRAL line and take reading.
▪The voltage across PHASE and EARTH, and NEUTRAL and EARTH.
▪The voltage between Neutral and Earth Should not be more than 6V. If by any chance it is
more than 30V, it is a serious fault on earth line. And must immediately be corrected.
Proper Earthing is essential for safety of the personnel and for the proper functioning of the
equipment.
Note: If connecting the instrument in the panel, panel and LmNet both should be at the same earthing
potential.

For 2 wire RTD sensor connect 2-wires of the sensor at '+’ &’-’ and put an external short link between
'-' and ‘W’ as shown in figure-11. Similarly connect for all other channels.
Notes:
1. When wiring RTDs, lead length and diameter must be chosen such that lead length are equal
and that each lead exhibits no more than 10 Ohms resistance between the LmNet and the
RTD.
2. For Input connections, high quality, low resistance contacts must be used which are suitable
for dry operations.
