2.5 Electrical Safety
All of the control unit’s connections are isolated from the grounding sys-
tem (non-insulated grounding conductor). Do not connect any of these
connections to the grounding connector.
To guarantee maximum conditions of safety for the operator, it is recom-
mended to follow all of the instructions listed in this guide:
nOnly power the device using a mains power supply that complies with
the device’s specifications (85 – 265 V AC 50/60Hz or 24 – 48V DC
(24 V AC±20%)).
nReplace any damaged parts immediately. Any cables, connectors, ac-
cessories or other parts of the device that are damaged or not func-
tioning properly must be replaced immediately. In such cases, contact
your nearest authorised technical assistance centre.
nOnly use certified accessories and accessories recommended by the
supplier. The use of accessories and materials from other manufac-
turers or not specifically recommended by the supplier will not guar-
antee the safety and correct operation of the equipment.
2.5.1 Safety in the Operating Environment
The device must be protected against drips, sprays and/or immersion and
should not be used in environments where such risks are present. Any
devices into which liquids may have accidentally penetrated must be im-
mediately shut off, cleaned and inspected by authorised and qualified
personnel.
The transparent panel should be closed once the device has been pro-
grammed.
Protection:
nIP65 Complete
nEMI/RFI CEI EN55011 – 05/99 Class A
The device must be used within the specified environmental temperature,
humidity and pressure limits. The device is designed to operate under the
following environmental conditions:
nTemperature of the operating environment -10 to +50 °C
nStorage and transport temperature -25 °C to +65 °C
nRelative humidity 0 – 100 % condensing
The device must be properly integrated into the system. The system must
be operated in full compliance with the foreseen safety regulations.
The parameters set on the analyser’s control unit must comply with the
applicable regulations.
The control unit’s malfunction signals must be located in an area that is
constantly supervised by the system’s maintenance personnel or opera-
tors.
Failure to respect even just one of these conditions could cause the con-
trol unit’s logic to operate in a potentially dangerous manner for users.
In order to avoid any potentially dangerous situations, the system’s ser-
vice and/or maintenance personnel are advised to work with the utmost
care and to signal any alterations in the safety parameters in a timely
manner.
As the above issues cannot be monitored by the product in question, the
manufacturer shall bear no responsibility for any property damage or per-
sonal injury that may result from such malfunctions.

7 Installation
7.1 Principles
Make sure that the installation location complies with the following re-
quirements:
nThe display is easily accessible and is visible.
nLeave enough space for installing cables underneath the device.
nYou must be able to install the cables without kinking or damaging
them.
nVarious lines (e.g. voltage supply, data cable and sensitive lines for
measuring purposes) must be installed separately. The different lines
should only cross at an angle of 90° to prevent interference.
nElectrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields affect signal transmis-
sion and can destroy electronic components.
nCompliance with the permissible ambient temperatures (see section 5
"Technical Data" on page10).
7.2 Mounting the Device on the Wall
Pre-conditions for actions:
ü
The wall must be level.
Resources required:
@Assembly kit

@Screwdriver
Perform the following work steps:
1. Drill the two holes for mounting the device on the wall (see Fig. 6
"Drillhole Dimensions" on page12).
2. Remove the four screws on the front side of the device.
4You can now open the front panel.
3. Open the device and use the screws provided to secure the device to
the wall.
4. Attach the screw caps provided.
5. Close the device and tighten the four screws on the front side of the
device.
i
The cable glands for the electrical connections are lo-
cated on the lower part of the control unit. To facilitate
the connections, any other devices must be posi-
tioned at least 15 cm apart.
ü
Device mounted on the wall.
7.3 Connecting the Power Supply
If possible, keep any live signal and control cables at a distance and lay
them separately (these could cause inductive disturbances, especially for
the analogical part of the system).
Absolutely avoid connecting the device to a power supply that has been
modified (for example, using transformers) and where the same power
supply is also used to power other systems (e.g. of inductive type). This
could lead to high voltage spikes, which are difficult to block and/or elimi-
nate once emitted.
DANGER
Mortal danger from electric shock!
Improperly installed or damaged components in the electronics instal-
lation can cause injury.
ð
The electrical line must be equipped with an appropriate circuit
breaker, in compliance with the proper installation standards.
ð
The power supply and the quality of the grounding connector must
be checked to avoid electrical interference.
7.4 Installation Recommendations
7.4.1 RC Protection for Relays
When connecting to the relays, note that inductive loads must be sup-
pressed. If this is not possible, the relay contact on the device terminal
must be protected by an RC protective circuit / interference suppression
element.
If devices with inductive loads from a nominal current of 1 A are connect-
ed to a relay, the contacts in the relay may become bonded. Thus, the de-
vice will operate in an uncontrolled manner. To prevent bonding if the load
circuit suffers a short-circuit, the relays must be protected separately on
the maximum relay switching current.
Pre-conditions for actions:
ü
You want to connect an inductive load to the relay.
Perform the following work steps:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Clamp the interference suppression element parallel to the inductive
load.
3. If you cannot perform step 2, clamp the interference suppression ele-
ment parallel to the relay output.
ü
RC protection for relay connected.

PLEASE NOTE
Danger
Failure to observe this note may lead to risk to the device and its func-
tion.
ð
When a relay output is used to operate a third-party device with an
inductive/capacitive load input (such as contactors, motors, etc.),
overvoltage protection is highly recommended. Check the options
of the third-party devices (see Fig. 8 "Relay Cable Segregation" on
page14).
Fig. 7: Overvoltage Protection
Keep the relay output cable separate from any other cable connected to
the device (see a in Fig. 8). A 90° crossing between the cables is allowed
(see b in Fig. 8).
