1 Preface
Please read this instruction manual entirely and carefully before installation and start-up. Please
observe all warnings and advice, both for your own safety and for general plant safety. If the
device is not used in accordance with this instruction manual, then the intended protection can be
impaired.
2 Safety instructions and Warnings
Please use the device only if its technical condition is perfect. It should be used only for its intended
purpose. Please bear in mind safety aspects and potential dangers and adhere to the operating
instructions at all times. Defective or damaged devices should be disconnected from the mains
immediately and taken out of operation. The device shall not be opened. Use the repair service of
the manufacturer. Only connect the device to the electricity networks provided to that purpose.
The safety of the system in which the device is integrated is the responsibility of the installer.
Disconnect all electricity networks prior to any installation or maintenance work.
Use exclusively cables approved in your country and designed for your temperature and power
ranges. Installation and service work shall be carried out exclusively by qualified personnel.
The device must compulsorily be protected with approved external fuses. The value of these fuses
can be found in the technical information.
This symbol is used on the device to remind of the existence of dangers, which are referred to in this
manual.
2.1 Use according to the intended purpose
The purpose of the Process Control devices is to display measured values, as well as to monitor limit values
(alarms). The application areas for this device lie in industrial processes and controls. The application area for
this device lies in industrial processes and controls, in the fields of manufacturing lines for the metal, wood,
plastics, paper, glass, textile and other like industries. Over-voltages at the terminals of the device must be
kept within the limits of Over-voltage Category II.
The device must only be operated when mounted in a panel in the correct way and in accordance with the
section “Technical Data”.
The device is not suitable for use in hazardous areas and for areas excluded in EN 61010 Part 1. If the device
is used to monitor machines or processes in which, in the event of a failure of the device or an error made by
the operator, there might be the risk of damaging the machine or causing an accident to the operators, it is
your responsibility to take the appropriate safety measures.
The device has been designed for indoor operation. It may nevertheless be used outdoors, provided the
technical data is adhered to. In this case, take care to provide suitable UV protection.
2.2 Mounting in a control panel
CAUTION
Mount the device away from heat sources and avoid direct contact with corrosive liquids, hot
steam or similar.
Provide a free space of 10mm all around the device for its ventilation.
The device should be mounted so that the terminals are out of the reach of the operator and
cannot be touched by him. When mounting the device, consider the fact that only the front side
is classified as accessible for the operator.
Mounting instructions
1. Remove the mounting clip from the device.
2. Insert the device from the front into the panel cut-out, ensuring the front-panel gasket is correctly seated.
3. Slide the fixing clip from the rear onto the housing, until the spring clamps are under tension and the
upper and lower latching lugs have snapped into place.
Note: In case of proper installation, IP65 can be reached on the front side.
2.3 Electrical Installation
DANGER
The device must be disconnected from any power supply prior to any installation or maintenance
work. Make sure that no more voltages LIABLE TO CAUSE AN ELECTROCUTION are present.
AC-powered devices must only be connected to the low-voltage network via a switch or circuit
breaker installed close to the device and marked as their disconnecting device.
Installation or maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified personnel and in compliance
with the applicable national and international standards.
Take care to separate all extra-low voltages entering or exiting the device from hazardous electrical
conductors by means of a double or reinforced insulation (SELV circuits).
DANGER
The device must be protected externally for its proper operation. Information about the prescribed
fuses can be found in the technical information.
The relay outputs are not protected internally in the device. Without suitable protection of the relay
outputs, undesired heat development or even fire may occur. The relay outputs must be protected
externally by the manufacturer of the plant. It must also be made sure that, even in case of a
malfunction, the values stated in the technical data are under no circumstances exceeded.
•During installation, make sure that the supply voltage and the wiring of the output contacts are both fed from
the same mains phase, in order not to exceed the maximum permitted voltage of 250V.
•The cables and their insulation must be designed for the planned temperature and voltage ranges. Regarding
the type of the cables, adhere to the applicable standards of the country and of the plant. The cross sections
allowed for the screw terminals can be found in the technical data.
•Before starting the device, check the cables for proper wiring and tightening. The screws of unused screw
terminals must be screwed to the stop, so that they cannot loosen and get lost.
•The device has been designed for overvoltage category II. If higher transient voltages cannot be excluded,
additional protection measures must be taken in order to limit the overvoltage to the values of CAT II.
Advice on noise immunity
All connections are protected against external sources of interference. The installation location should be chosen
so that inductive or capacitive interference does not affect the device or its connecting lines! Interference (e.g.
from switch-mode power supplies, motors, clocked controllers or contactors) can be reduced by means of
appropriate cable routing and wiring.
Measures to be taken:
•Use only shielded cable and control lines. Connect shield at both ends. The conductor cross-
section of the cables should be a minimum of 0.14 mm².
•The shield connection to the equipotential bonding should be as short as possible and with a
contact area as large as possible (low-impedance).
•nly connect the shields to the control panel, if the latter is also earthed.
•Avoid routing signal or control cables parallel to power lines.
2.4 Cleaning and maintenance
The front side of the unit should only be cleaned using a soft damp (water!) cloth. Cleaning of the embedded
rear side is not planned and is the responsibility of the service personnel or of the installer.
In normal operation, this device is maintenance-free. Should the device nevertheless not operate properly, it
must be sent back to the manufacturer or to the supplier. Opening and repairing the device by the user is not
allowed and can adversely affect the original protection level.
