Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The module and the connected transducers may be used for measurement
and directly related control tasks only. Any other use is not appropriate.
To ensure safe operation, the module may only be used as specified in the
operating manual. It is also essential to follow the respective legal and safety
regulations for the application concerned during use. The same applies to the
use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the modules, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of
automation technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event
of a fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling,
limit value switches, etc.
Safety rules
A module must not be connected directly to a power supply network.
The maximum permissible supply voltage is 10 V ... 30 V (DC).
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely
affect device functionality (HBM recommendation: ”Greenline shielding
design”, downloadable from the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided
(such as access checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in
such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut
down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so
that a line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the
bus interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the
automation device.

Conditions on site
For modules in IP20 protection class:
−Protect the modules from humidity or effects of the weather such as rain,
snow, etc.
−The permissible relative humidity at 31°C is 80% (non condensing); linear
reduction down to 50% at 40°C.
−Ensure that the ventilation openings on the sides are not covered.
For all modules:
−Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.
−Observe the maximum permissible ambient temperatures given in the
specifications.
Maintenance and cleaning
The modules are maintenance-free. Please note the following when cleaning
the housing:
−Before cleaning, disconnect the equipment completely.
−Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. Never use
solvents, since these could damage the labelling on the front panel and the
display.
−When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the module or connections.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The module is a state of the art device and as such is failsafe. The module
may give rise to further dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated
by untrained personnel. Any person instructed to carry out installation,
commissioning, maintenance or repair of the module must have read and
understood the Operating Manuals and in particular the technical safety
instructions.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the module covers only a small area
of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering
considerations of measurement technology in such a way as to minimize
remaining dangers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times.
There must be reference to the remaining dangers connected with
measurement technology. After making settings and carrying out activities that
are password−protected, you must make sure that any controls that may be
connected remain in safe condition until the switching performance of the
module has been tested.

2.1 Connecting module(s) via Ethernet
The modules can be
•connected directly to a PC (see chapter 2.1.1/2.1.2)
•integrated in a client server network (see chapter 2.1.3)
For synchronous measurement of all modules, they need to be connected
using FireWire cable 1−KAB269-x (connection X102 to X101 etc.).
Apply a supply voltage of 10V −30 V (DC) to connection X104. The supply
voltage is looped through to other modules via the FireWire cable
(max. 1.5 A, basic rule: Max. 3 modules on one supply). An additional voltage
source with the same voltage value is necessary for more than three modules.
The QuantumX modules support DHCP /APIPA1) automatic IP addressing.
The PC and the modules must be set to DHCP to enable this feature to be
used.
1) The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables the network configuration to be assigned to
clients by a server. Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) allows automatic configuration of network
interfaces, if no DHCP server is available.
2.1.1 Ethernet settings: adapt your module’s IP address
Adapt the module’s IP address as described below:
•Connect the module via an Ethernet crossover cable (e.g. 1-KAB239-2) to
the PC.
Newer PCs have an auto-crossover function, in this case you can use
patch cables (twisted pair, CAT5, preferably higher quality).
