- The electrical installation must be carried out according to the appropriate regu-
lations (cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection).
Additional information can be obtained from the user’s guide.
- The documentation contains information about installation in compliance withEMC
(shielding, grounding, filters and cables). These notes must be observed for all
CE-marked products.
- The manufacturer of the measuring system or installed devices is responsible for
the compliance with the required limit values demanded by the EMC legislation.
5. Operation
- Measuring systems including SM4 modules, must be equipped with protection
devices according to the corresponding standard and regulations for prevention
of accidents.
- After the instrument has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live compo-
nents and power connections must not be touched immediately because capacitors
can be charged.
- The housing must be closed during operation.
- The RS-232 socket serves only to connect the device (Fig. 5) working with the
MODBUS protocol.
When the module socket is not used place the hole plug.
