In this manual, the designation MP85A process controller is used for all device
versions. If information/data refers only to specific device versions, this will be
clearly indicated in the text and one of the above designations used.
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.
The device complies with the safety requirements of DIN EN 61010 Part 1
(VDE 0411 Part 1).
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 manuals. During use, compliance
with the legal and safety requirements for the relevant application is also
essential. The same applies to the use of accessories.
The device is not intended for use as a safety component. Please also refer to
the “Additional safety precautions” section. Proper and safe operation requires
correct transportation, storage, siting and installation, and careful operation.
This operating manual must be kept and handed over if the MP85A process
controller is sold or passed on.

Safety instructions
MP85A A0293_06_E00_03 HBM: public 9
Operating conditions
SProtect the device from direct contact with water.
SProtect the device from moisture and weather conditions such as rain or
snow. The device has an IP rating of IP20 (DIN EN 60529).
SDo not expose the device to direct sunlight
SComply with the maximum permitted ambient temperatures and the data on
maximum humidity as stated in the specifications.
SThe design or safety features of the device must not be modified without
our express consent. In particular, any repair or soldering work on
motherboards (replacement of components) is prohibited. When exchanging
complete modules, use only genuine parts from HBM.
SThe device is delivered from the factory with a fixed hardware and software
configuration. Changes can only be made within the range of possibilities
described in the corresponding documentation.
SThe device is maintenance free.
SPlease note the following points when cleaning the housing:
- Disconnect the device from all current and voltage supplies before
cleaning it.
- Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. Never use
solvent as this could damage the label or housing.
- When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the device or connections.
SIn accordance with national and local environmental protection and material
recovery and recycling regulations, old equipment that can no longer be
used must be disposed of separately and not with normal household
garbage, see section 15, page 154.
Qualified personnel
Qualified persons are individuals entrusted with the installation, fitting, startup
and operation of the product and with the relevant qualifications for their work.
This includes people who meet at least one of the three following criteria:

Safety instructions
10 A0293_06_E00_03 HBM: public MP85A
SThey are project personnel who are familiar with the safety concepts
relating to measurement and automation technology.
SThey are measurement or automation plant operating personnel 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 startup or service engineers, they have successfully completed the
training to qualify them for repairing automation systems. 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 mains power supply. The
supply voltage must be between 18 and 30VDC.
SError messages may only be acknowledged once the cause of the error is
removed and there is no further danger.
SMaintenance and repair work on an open device with the power on may
only be carried out by trained personnel who are aware of the dangers
involved.
SAutomation equipment and devices must be designed so as to ensure
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation (e.g. access
control, password protection, etc.).
SFor devices operating in networks, safety precautions must be taken for
both the hardware and software, to make sure that an open circuit or other
interruptions to signal transmission do not cause undefined states or loss of
data in the automation device.
SAfter entering settings and carrying out password-protected activities,
ensure that all connected control systems remain in a safe condition until
the switching performance of the device has been tested.
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions to meet the requirements of the relevant national
and local accident prevention regulations must be implemented in plants where
malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury.

Safety instructions
MP85A A0293_06_E00_03 HBM: public 11
This can be achieved by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, limit value
switches, etc.
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.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art device that is safe to operate. However, there may be
residual risks if the device is installed or operated incorrectly.

The PME Assistant provides a simple and free user interface for device
parameterization in Microsoft Windows. For this you will require an Ethernet
(crossover) cable (order no. 1‐KAB239‐2) for direction connection to a PC or a
USB →CAN interface converter (when using the CAN interface), which must
be ordered separately (order no.: 1‐PMESETUP‐USB).

Introduction
MP85A A0293_06_E00_03 HBM: public 17
All device parameters can be set with the PME Assistant software. You can set
the Ethernet or CAN bus interface directly on the device. The PME Assistant
also enables you to set up other devices from the PME family
(MP01 …MP70).
