MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER INTRODUCTION
Fire of device.
If smoke or lames coming from the device are sighted, disconnect power sup-
ply immediately (by unplugging the power cord, or if it is not possible by dis-
connecting a relevant circuit in the switchboard powering the device). Remove
lammable materials at a safe distance. Start extinguishing the ire. If the power
supply could not be disconnected use only E-type extinguishers or dry-powder
extinguishers designed to extinguish equipment under voltage.
Improper installation, operation or use.
Improper installation, operation or use may damage the MG . Strictly adhere
to the stipulated installation and operation data.
Self-coniguration of the device.
Self-coniguration of the MG by the user through the service application re-
sults in waiver of the PREVAC’s liability for proper functioning of the device.
Figure .: Make sure that no objects enter through the vent holes of the device. Keep the device
dry.
Failure to observe the general safety instructions may result in potentially dangerous situa-
tions.

INTRODUCTION MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER
.. GROUNDING
The MG is the class device. To minimize a risk of electric shock connect the device to the mains
with a -conductor mains cable. Conductor cross-section should be min. mm (AWG). Plug the
mains cable into wall sockets with protective ground only.
.. INTERNAL CIRCUITS OF DEVICE
The operating personnel cannot remove the device covers. The device does not contain any inter-
nal control systems and replaceable elements, which could be operated by unauthorized persons.
Replace any attached components only after disconnecting the mains cable. To avoid electric shock
always disconnect the mains cable, any external voltage sources and discharge the output circuits.
.. SPARE PARTS AND MODIFICATIONS
Replacement of spare parts, modiications and repairs may be carried out only by the PREVAC’s
authorized personnel. Therefore, the device must be delivered to the PREVAC’s service.
.. VENTILATION
The device has vent holes located on the side panels of the enclosure. Do not cover the vent holes
during the operation of the device.
.. OPERATION IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Operation in explosive atmospheres.
The device cannot be used in the presence of lammable gases or vapours. The
device cannot be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
.. CLEANING
Keep the device dry. For cleaning device’s enclosure, use only moistened cloth. Do not use any
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.

MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the procedures for unpacking, mechanical installation and electrical instal-
lation. Take care when lifting the unit that the weight and position do not exceed comfortable limits.
. UNPACKING
. Visually inspect the transport packaging for signs of external damage.
. Unpack the MG .
Note: Retain the packaging materials for later use. The MG must be stored and trans-
ported in the original packaging material only.
. Examine the MG for completeness.
. Visually inspect the MG for signs of damage.
Damaged product.
Using the destroyed or damaged device or connection cables can result in elec-
tric shock. Never attempt to put a damaged product into operation. Secure
the damaged product from unintended operation. Send a damage report to the
courier company or the insurer.
. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The MG device can be mounted in a DIN (”, HU) cabinet/rack, occupying half of its
width. In each of these cases you must pay attention to the following safety note.
Ambient temperature.
Exceeding the maximum permitted ambient temperature may damage the de-
vice.
Before switching on the device, make sure that the maximum permitted ambi-
ent temperature is not exceeded and that the air can low freely through the
vent holes.
Do not expose the device to direct sun.
User manual rev. Page

INSTALLATION MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER
Protection class of the rack.
If the product is installed in a rack, the protection class of the rack (protection
from foreign bodies and water) is likely to be lowered, e.g. according to the EN
- regulations for switching cabinets.
Take appropriate measures to restore the required protection class of the rack.
. COOLING
The MG is equipped with a cooling system. The power unit is equipped with a suction fan. Air is
supplied from the panels located by the power unit enclosure. Hot air outlet is located on the rear
panel. At least mm should be ensured to let air get inside from the side panels. The MG should
not be operated at temperatures exceeding °C.
. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
.. POWER SUPPLY
The main mains connection is an IEC socket on the rear wall of the device. The MG enclosure
is grounded to protect the user against electric shock. Always connect the device to a socket with
protective ground. If necessary, contact an electrician before connecting the device. A suitable
mains cable is supplied with the device. If the plug is not compatible with the socket, use a suitable
mains cable:
• Three-conductor cable with protective ground.
• Conductor cross-section should be min. mm(AWG).
