4 MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
4.1 SAFETY
Open terminals of the device carry dangerous voltage of up to 250 V. Any connections to the device and
its maintenance operations must be performed only on de-energized device and executive units.
Ingress of moisture to the output terminals and the device inside electronic elements is not allowed. The
use of the device in aggressive environments containing acids, alkali, oils, etc. is prohibited.
The device connection, adjustment and maintenance must be performed only by authorized personnel
that is familiar with this manual.
4.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Recommended maintenance schedule – semiannually.
Maintenance scheduled operations consist of visual observation, during which wiring connection to
terminals is checked, frame and casing integrity check for cracking and chipping.
During maintenance operations, the safety precautions listed in chapter 4.1 must be followed.
5 DEVICE CONNECTION
5.1 PERIPHERY CONNECTIONS
5.1.1 General instructions
Prepare cables for connecting the device to sensors, execution mechanisms and peripheral equipment,
as well as to the power supply. To provide for the electric connections reliability it is recommended to use
cables with copper stranded wires, the ends of which should be carefully cleaned and soldered prior to
connecting. The wire core shall be cleared in such way, that its bare ends would not project beyond the
terminals after connection to the device. The cable section must not exceed 2,5 mm2.
5.1.2 Mounting instructions aimed at electromagnetic interference reduction
When laying the “device-sensor” lines, they should be separated into an individual tract (or several
tracts). The tracts shall be placed separately from the power cables, as well as from cables that produce
high frequency and pulse interference.
ATTENTION!The tracts shall be planned in such manner, that the signal lines length is kept minimal.
5.1.3 Mounting instructions aimed at reduction of the power circuit interference
The device shall be connected to 220V 50Hz, circuit feeder that is not connected with supplying power to
heavy-duty industrial equipment. It is recommended installing in the peripheral supply line a feed switch
providing disconnecting the device from the circuit, as well as 1A fuses.
5.2 DEVICE CONNECTION
The device shall be connected in accordance with the diagram on figure 5.1, observing the listed below
sequence:
A) Connect the device to power supply and execution units;
B) connect the “device-sensor” communication lines to the device inputs.
ATTENTION!The device terminals for connecting power circuit and peripheral heavy-duty equipment are
designed for max voltage of 250V. To avoid disruptive electric discharge or insulation arc-over it is
prohibited to connect power sources with higher voltage that one mentioned to the device terminals.
5.3 CONNECTING SENSORS (RTDS)
TR-101 devices employ a three-wire diagram for connecting RTDs (resistance temperature detectors).
Two wires are connected to one of the RTD outputs, and the third wire is connected to the other RTD output
(see figure 5.1). Such diagram, provided that impedance of all three wires is equal, allows to compensate its
impact onto the temperature measurement.
The resistance temperature detectors can be connected to the device under a two-wire diagram as well,
but such arrangement does not provide for the connecting wiring impedance compensation which may lead
to certain dependence of the device measurement from the wires temperature variation.
5.3.1 Connecting sensors (RTDs) according to a two-wire diagram
5.3.1.1 The RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) are connected to the device according to a two-
wire diagram in case when a three-wire diagram cannot be used, for example, whenTR-101 is installed
within units equipped with earlier laid two-wire connection lines.
5.3.1.2 Please, mind that the device readings will depend on the “device-sensor” communication line
wires impedance change, that takes place under influence of the outside air temperature. To compensate
