and remove the cover.
ÎMark the upper fastening point on the wall. Drill
and fasten the enclosed wall plug and screw leav-
ing the head protruding.
ÎHang the housing from the upper fastening point
and mark the lower fastening points (centres
180 mm).
ÎDrill 2 holes (Ø 6 mm) and insert the wall plugs.
ÎFasten the housing to the wall with the lower fas-
tening screw and tighten.

3.2 Electrical connection
Note
Connecting the device to the power supply
must always be the last step of the instal-
lation!
Carry out the connection of the Datalogger
(pos. 1) to other modules in the order de-
scribed below:
ÎConnect the data cable (RESOL VBus®, pos. 3)
to the controller (pos. 4) and the DL3 (pos. 1).
If necessary, extend the cable using the terminal
block included and a common two-wire cable.
ÎConnect the mains adapter (pos. 2) to the DL3
and to a mains socket.
ÎFor a direct connection to a router or a PC, con-
nect the Datalogger to a router (pos. 6) or a PC
(pos. 7) using the network cable (included with
the DL3, pos. 5).
Power supply is carried out via an external mains
adapter. The supply voltage of the mains adapter must
be 100 ... 240 V~ (50 ... 60 Hz).
The mains adapter and a VBus® cable are included
with the DL3.

3.3 Connecting the VBus® cable
The Datalogger is connected to one or several con-
trollers via VBus® cables. The corresponding terminal
allocation is described in the controller manual.
The VBus® cable can be extended using the terminal
block included and a common two-wire cable.
VBus® connection at the terminals:
1 / 2 = VBus® connection 1 (slave)
3 / 4 = VBus® connection 2 (slave)
5 / 6 = VBus® connection 3 (slave)
7 / 8 = VBus® connection 4 (slave)
9 / 10 = VBus® connection 5 (slave)
11 / 12 = VBus® connection 6 (slave)
To the VBus® connections 1 ... 6, master devices (con-
trollers) can be connected.
3.4 Connecting the sensors
Connect the Pt1000 temperature sensors to the fol-
lowing terminals with either polarity:
•
⊥
/ S1 ... S3 = Temperature sensors S1 to S3
Connect the sensor using a 0(4)-20 mA signal as
specified by the manufacturer to the following ter-
minals:
•
⊥
/ CL = Current loop interface 0(4)-20 mA
3.5 Connecting the network cable
The DL3 Datalogger can be connected to a computer
or a router by using a network cable (CAT5e, RJ45).
ÎConnect the network cable included to the net-
work adapter of the computer or the router.
For the next step of commissioning, see „6 Ba-
sic configuration“ on page 12.
ATTENTION! VBus® network malfunction!
Separating the device from the pow-
er supply while the VBus® is still con-
nected will lead to a VBus® network
malfunction!
ÎSeparate VBus® connections
before separating the device
from the power supply!
