SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Intended use
The device is to be used exclusively for measurement tasks and directly related control
tasks within the operating limits detailed in the specifications. Use for any purpose other
than the above is deemed improper use.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, startup or operation of the device must
have read and understood the operating manual and in particular the technical safety
instructions.
In the interests of safety, the device should only be operated by qualified personnel and
as described in the Operating Manual. The same applies to the use of accessories.
The device is not intended for use as a safety component. Please also refer to the “Addi
tional safety precautions” section. Proper and safe operation requires proper transporta
tion, correct storage, siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Operating conditions
SProtect the device from direct contact with water.
SProtect the device from moisture and weather such as rain or snow. The protection
class of the device is IP65 (DIN EN 60529).
SDo not expose the device to direct sunlight.
SComply with the maximum permissible ambient temperatures and the specifications
regarding maximum humidity.
SThe design or safety engineering of the device must not be modified without our ex
press consent. In particular, any repair or soldering work on motherboards (replace
ment of components) is prohibited. When exchanging complete modules, use only
genuine parts from HBM.
SThe device is supplied ex works with a fixed hardware and software configuration.
Changes can only be made within the range of possibilities described in the corre
sponding documentation.
SThe device is maintenance free.
SPlease note the following when cleaning the housing:
-Disconnect the device from all current and voltage supplies.
-Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. Never use solvent, as
this could damage the label or the housing.
-When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the device or connections.

Qualified personnel
Qualified persons are individuals entrusted with the installation, fitting, startup and oper
ation of the product and with the relevant qualifications for their work.
This includes people who meet at least one of the three following criteria:
SThey have knowledge of the safety equipment and procedures of measurement and
automation systems, and are familiar with them as project personnel.
SThey are operating personnel of measurement or automation systems and have been
instructed on how to handle the machinery. They are familiar with the operation of the
equipment and technologies described in this document.
SAs a commissioning or service engineer, they have successfully completed training on
the repair of automation plants. Moreover, they are authorized to start up, ground and
label circuits and equipment in accordance with safety engineering standards.
Working safely
SThe device must not be directly connected to the power supply system. The supply
voltage must not exceed 30VDC.
SError messages should only be acknowledged once the cause of the error has been
eradicated and there is no further danger.
SAutomation equipment and devices must be designed to ensure adequate protection
or locking against inadvertent actuation (e.g. access control, password protection,
etc.).
SFor devices operating in networks, safety precautions must be taken in terms of both
hardware and software, so that an open circuit or other interruptions to signal trans
mission do not result in undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.
SFollowing work on settings or password-protected activities, make sure that any con
trols that may be connected remain in a safe condition until the switching behavior of
the device has been tested.
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause
major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. You can find details e.g. in the acci
dent prevention regulations applicable to your particular application.
The performance and scope of supply of the device cover only a small proportion of test
and measuring equipment. Before starting up the device in a plant, first perform a project
planning and risk analysis, taking into account all the safety aspects of measurement
and automation engineering, to minimize residual risk. This particularly concerns the
protection of personnel and equipment. In the event of a fault, appropriate precautions
must produce safe operating conditions.

METHOD OF OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
3 METHOD OF OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
The AED digital transducer electronics (acronym from the German: AufnehmerElek
tronikDigital) digitally condition the signals from SG1) transducers and offer different
interfaces, depending on the version. This way, you can connect SG transducers to a PC
or PLC in a full bridge circuit and create complete measurement chains at little expense.
The basic AED device accommodates the AD103C amplifier board, which digitizes and
processes the signal from the transducer. It provides:
Smechanical protection (IP65),
Sthe voltage supply for the amplifier board and transducer excitation,
Sbridge excitation voltage for SG transducers with a total bridge resistance of
80 … 4000 Ω or 40 … 4000 Ω (AED9101D only),
San EMC-tested combination of basic device and AD103C amplifier board,
Sa diagnostics bus,
Sdepending on the version, serial interfaces RS‐422, RS‐485 or RS‐232 or industrial
bus systems CANopen®, DeviceNet®or PROFIBUS®.
Important
The AD103C amplifier board is not included in the scope of supply of the basic device,
and must be ordered separately.
The PanelX PC software is provided for easy setting of all parameters, displaying dy
namic measurement signals, and comprehensive analysis of the system.

The AD103C amplifier board is a plug-in board that is inserted into the carrier board of
the basic device via a plug connection. The basic device features terminals for connect
ing the transducers, for connecting the power pack and interface and, depending on the
version, setting options for the interface. The connection cables exit the housing via PG
glands on the side.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Notice
Electroniccomponents are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). So you must dis
charge your own static electricity before opening the device. We recommend wearing an
antistatic band (conductive wristband) and using a conductive base.
The required power supply is an extra-low voltage (max. 30 VDC ) with protective separa
tion from the mains.
Tip
A connection diagram is attached with adhesive inside the cover of the basic device.
5.1 Ground (GND) and shield wiring
Use shielded cables for the connections to the transducer and interfaces. Connect the
shield fully to both sides of the housing of the devices or to metal connectors or metal
ized connector housings, not to the measurement ground, GND or the power supply 0V.
A double shielded cable is advantageous for improved EMC.
Notice
At cable lengths of 30 meters or more, there is a risk that the individual bus nodes will
have different ground potentials. In this case, use a separate cable to equalize the poten
tial between the bus nodes.
For potential equalization, the best choice is a flexible cable with a minimum conductor
cross-section of 10mm2.
5.2 PG gland
Fig. 5.1 shows you how to lead a cable through a PG gland, and how to apply the cable
shield correctly. If a connection does not have a suitable connector, lay the cable shield
over the full surface to ground or housing ground, e.g. using a shielded terminal.
