1 Safety instructions
Intended use
The SomatXR Data Recorder CX22B-R is to be used
exclusively for measurement tasks and directly related
control tasks within the ratings stated in the "Specifica
tions" section and under the conditions given in the same
section. Any other use is not appropriate.
Proper and safe operation requires proper transportation,
correct storage, siting and mounting, and careful opera
tion. Everyone involved with siting, starting up, or operating
the module must have read and understood the operating
manual and in particular the technical safety instructions.
In the interest of safety, the module should only be oper
ated by qualified personnel (see below) and as described
in the operating manual.
It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety
requirements for the application concerned during use.

The modules are maintenance-free.
Only trained and qualified personnel who are authorized
to do so by HBM are allowed to open the module. Before
opening the module, disconnect all connections. Opera
tion when open is not allowed. Once the device has been
opened, it must be professionally inspected in accor
dance with EN 60950, before starting it up again.
The module is delivered from the factory with a fixed
hardware and software configuration. Changes can only
be made within the possibilities documented in the man
ual.
The module must not be modified from the design or
saftey engineering point of view except with our express
agreement. In particular, any repair or soldering work on
printed wiring boards (exchanging components) is prohib
ited. When exchanging complete subassemblies, use
only original parts from HBM.
Following modules contain a battery to buffer memory
content and guarantee an uninterruptible operation of the
time basis:
- CX22B-R: BR2330A/FAN (soldered)

fail-safe. The module may give rise to further dangers if it
is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained per
sonnel. Any person instructed to carry out installation,
commissioning, maintenance or repair of the module
must have read and understood the User Manuals and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
Product liability
In the following cases, the protection provided for the de
vice may be adversely affected. Liability for device func
tionality then passes to the operator:

Safety instructions
CX22B-R A4722-1.0 HBM: public 9
SThe device is not used in accordance with the operat
ing manual.
SThe device is used outside the field of application
described in this chapter.
SThe operator makes unauthorized changes to the
device.
Working safely
► When the module is unpacked, check it for visible
signs of damage. If damge has occurred, the module
must not be operated.
Error messages should only be acknowledged once the
cause of the error is removed and no further danger
exists.
When modules are in operation, the following measures
need to be taken to reduce the risk of incineration at sur
faces:
- Operating personnel must be advised of the possi
bility of incinerations when touching the surface of
the module.
- Operating personnel must be instructed to touch
the surface of the module only with appropriate pro
tective equipment (adequate protective gloves).
The equipment complies with the EMC standards of EN
61326-1 / EN 61326-2-x. These standards define emis
sion limits and immunity requirements for multiple envi
ronments.
With respect to emissions, the standards contain limits
for industrial (class A) and residential / commercial (class
B) environments. The standard herein references CISPR
11:2009+A1:2010.

Safety instructions
10 A4722-1.0 HBM: public CX22B-R
With respect to immunity, the standards contain limits for
electromagnetically protected (lowest requirements), gen
eral and industrial (highest requirements) environments.
The SomatXR modules listed in the declaration of con
formity conform to the requirements for:
- Emissions: Class A
- Immunity: Industrial
The SomatXR series and its modules are intended for
use in an industrial environment. When used in residen
tial or commercial environments, additional arrangements
may be required to limit electromagnetic emissions.
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense
leads, must be installed in such a way that electromag
netic interference does not adversely affect device func
tionality. (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding
design," downloadable from the Internet at

The measurement module and devices used in automa
tion equipment must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actu
ation is provided (e.g. access checks, password protec
tion, etc.).
For those measurement modules operating in networks,
safety precautions must be taken in terms of both hard
ware and software, so that a line break or other interrup
tions to signal transmission do not cause undefined
stated or loss of data in the autmation device.
After making settings and carrying out activities that are
password-protected, ensure that any controls that may
be connected remain in a safe condition until the switch
ing performance of the module has been tested.
An emergency and incident plan must be prepared,
decribing the responses to minimize risk in the event of

4.1 Voltage supply
Apply a supply voltage of DC 10 - 30 V to connector
X104 (see Fig. 5.1). Use a voltage supply with sufficient
power, in case the MX modules connected to the
CX22B‒R or devices such as GPS sensors, cameras or
data memory directly connected to the unit also need to
be supplied with power.
The DC voltage supply must be a SELV voltage supply,
meeting the requirements of IEC / EN / DIN EN 609501.
The supply voltage must be protected by an adequate
DC fuse (e.g. LITTELFUSE KLKD 6, LFPHV001) with a
maximum current of 5 A.
CX22B-R has a integrated uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) to buffer short voltage drops. It also allows a regu
lar storing of the measurement data respectively a proper
shut-down of the module.
When running on the UPS, no power will be provided to
MX modules connected via FireWire. If needed, the con
nected MX modules need a separate UPS for buffering.
Details about the UPS and its settings can be found in
chapter 6.6.
HBM offers the NTX002 power supply for laboratory or
general steady-state operation. On the primary side, this
provides a selection of international connector types and
24 V and 30 watts on the secondary side. A CX22B‒R
and one additional MX module can be supplied in this
way.See the respective module data sheets for precise
details of performance.
The Data Recorder can also be supplied with voltage by
a (FireWire) module group.

Connections and displays

Important
The data recorder hosts a small buffer battery. This
battery keeps date and time during power interruptions.
The battery shall only be replaced by HBM service.
4.2 Ground connection and grounding
Lay the signal and data leads separately from current-
carrying power lines. Cable ducts made of sheet metal
with an internal partition are ideal.
If there are differences in potential in or to the connected
measurement system, you must install a potential equal
ization line (recommended value: highly flexible stranded
wire, line cross-section 10mm2).
4.3 Connection of MX modules
The simplest way to connect measurement modules to
the CX22B‒R Data Recorder is via FireWire, or alterna
tively via Ethernet.
FireWire has the following advantages:
SVoltage supply, time synchronization, data communi
cation and real time in one cable and thus little effort
and low cost
SEvery module has 2 FireWire connections, so flexible
topologies are possible: star, line or even hybrids with
an appropriate hub, also supplied with power via
FireWire.
Ethernet has the following advantages
