1 Introduction
The igus®smart plastics predictive maintenance concept makes statements about the service life of igus®products and
continuously compares them with the values determined by igus®in the laboratory and the condition of the products.
i.Sense CF.D is a set of two microprocessor-based modules, which are equipped with an input and an output port and are
installed in the line to be measured.
i.Sense CF.D is not a safety component within the meaning of the Machinery Directive and must not be part of the safety concept.
i.Sense CF.D is not a safety component within the meaning of the Machinery Directive and offers no protection
against personal injury.
Failure to do so can lead to serious property, damage and personal injury.

igus®GmbH only assumes a warranty for products from igus®in accordance with the standards, norms and specifications in
this manual. The warranty extends exclusively to the exchange or repair of a defective i.Sense CF.D. No liability is assumed for
consequential damages and consequential errors.
igus®GmbH assumes no responsibility for the integration of the i.Sense CF.D into the overall system.The responsibility for this
lies with the system designer or the end user. Please note the information under
"Qualified personnel".
igus®GmbH assumes no liability for personal injury or property damage resulting from incorrect use or unauthorized technical
changes to the i.Sense CF.D.
igus®GmbH reserves the right to make changes and optimizations to the product or technical documentation at any time without
prior notice.
The i.Sense CF.D may only be used if:
- All installation instructions and safety instructions mentioned in this manual have been followed.
- The housing has been professionally installed in accordance with valid ESD & EMC regulations.
- No changes have been made to an i.Sense CF.D and it is in a technically perfect condition.
- The operating limits indicated in the technical data (p.6) are complied with.
2.2 Qualified personnel
Sebastian Probst
The i.Sense CF.D may only be operated by a qualified specialist.
- The staff must have read and understood this manual and any existing additional documentation.
- Personnel must be familiar with all relevant applicable standards, regulations and accident prevention regulations.
- Whereas the training of the personnel must enable them to foresee or identify any dangers which may arise in the use of
the control system;
- Personnel must be able to ensure the safety of persons and objects when using the sensor unit in the overall system.
- Personnel must be trained in the handling of ESD sensitive equipment and take all necessary precautions.

2.3 Electromagnetic compatibility
- Risk of injury due to interference of signals and devices
Disturbed signals can cause unforeseen device actions.
Perform wiring according to EMC guidelines. Failure to comply with these precautions may result in death, serious injury
or material damage.
WARNING!
EMC measures
Effects
Device
assembly
Use cable clamps for shield support,
connect metallic parts over a large area
Good conductivity due to flat contact
Add switching devices such as contactors,
relays or solenoid valves with interference
suppression combination or spark
extinguishing elements (e.g. diodes,
varistors, RC links).
Reduce mutual interference coupling.
Wiring
Keep cables as short as possible
Avoid capacitive and inductive interference couplings
Do not lay sensor cables and signal cables
together with cables for DC and AC voltage
above 60 V in a cable duct.
Avoidance of mutual interference coupling
Ground shields of digital signal lines on both
sides over a large area or via conductive
connector housings.
Avoid interference with control cables, reduce emissions.

4 Installation
4.1 Mechanical installation
- Installing modules in network cable
- Stickers symbolize direction
- e-chain®on stickers in the direction of the cable to be measured, screen on stickers
in the direction of the further transmission path (switch/consumer)
- Avoid heat build-up, provide sufficient ventilation
- Protect from moisture
4.2 Electrical installation
- Risk of electric shock
- Danger of electric arcs
- Injury driving
- Risk of component destruction
Always turn off the power supply before disconnecting or establishing electrical connections in the system. Secure the
power supply against re-activation.
After turning off, wait at least 5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge. Check the absence of voltage before working in
the system.
Occurrence of electric arcs in the case of electrical connections that are not properly installed. To i.Sense CF.D
connected cables must not have exposed and stripped wire ends. In addition, ensure that all connections are securely
seated.
WARNING!
4.2.1 Selection of power supply

Installation scheme
5 Configuration mode
1) Press and hold the button for about 10 seconds until LED magenta lights up
2) Connecting the phone/PC to the WiFi network "Master-Calm-xxxx" or "Client-
Calm-xxxx".
3) Wait for a pop-up browser to open with the web page and portal
4) In the portal there is a menu hidden behind the icon with the three horizontal
lines. Within this menu there are four options. Three of them are directly visible,
one is hidden for the time being.
a. New Connection:
Lists WiFi networks in range. After entering the correct password, the module connects to the
network. If the connection is disconnected, reload the page or perform the same step again.
Although this does not help, the distance from module to WLAN access point may be too large,
reduce distance
b. Saved Networks:
Lists the networks that have already been connected and allows you to connect to them faster.
c. Exit:
Closes the portal and resumes normal operation of the sensor.
d. Update:
Only visible when the module is connected to a WiFi network that contains an Internet connection.
List of available updates appears,by clicking these and the update button the update is loaded. A
progress bar appears. After a successful update, the device returns to measuring mode.
