Notes:
• Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local
governing regulations.
• This product is susceptible to electrostatic shock. Follow proper grounding procedures.
All field wiring must have insulation suitable for at least 250 V.
Hazardous voltage present on transducer terminals during operation.
DC terminals shall be supplied from an SELV source in accordance with
IEC 1010-1 Annex H.
• The non-metallic enclosure does not provide grounding between conduit connections. Use
grounding type bushings and jumpers.
Note: For conduit locations and assembly for mounting in Class 1, Div. 2 applications,
please see Drawing 23650314 in Appendix A.

2. Drill cable entry holes carefully, leaving
room for existing contents.
3. Attach conduits using approved suitably
sized hubs for watertight application.
4. Reinstall the motherboard with the
mounting screws.
Exposed Cable Entry (supplied glands)
1. Unscrew glands and attach loosely to
enclosure.
2. Thread cables through glands. Keep power
cable separate from signal cable.
3. Wire cables to terminal blocks and tighten
glands to form a good seal.

Panel Mount Installation
Installing the panel mount unit requires making a cutout in the panel. The cutout template is provided with
your unit or may be downloaded from www.siemens.com/processautomation.
Panel Mount Dimensions
Mounting the Enclosure
Once cutout is complete and mounting holes are drilled, follow these steps:
1. Remove lid from unit by undoing the six lid screws and lifting it off its hinges.
2. Remove the four screws holding the motherboard to the enclosure.
3. Be careful not to damage the electronics with static electricity. Remove the motherboard from
the enclosure by pulling the board straight out.
4. Drill the required cable entry holes. Be sure to compensate for panel door dimensions and
make sure conduit holes do not interfere with the lower areas on the terminal block, circuit
board, or SmartLinx card.
5. Replace board and fasten the four screws.
6. Place the unit into the panel and insert hexagonal fasteners through bevel holes and predrilled
panel holes.
7. Fasten with wingnuts from the rear, and hand tighten.
8. Add conduit or glands and wire as required, then replace the lid.
Helpful hint:
• Use tape to hold hexagonal heads in holes while attaching wingnuts.

Wiring
Transducers
A 0.1 µF (100V or greater) capacitor is included with the MultiRanger for retrofitting old MultiRanger Plus
installations. Please refer to
General Appendix F–Upgrading in the complete MultiRanger Instruction
Manual for more information.
Notes:
• For complete wiring instructions, please refer to the Instruction Manual.
• Verify that all system components are installed in accordance with instructions.
• Connect all cable shields to the MultiRanger Shield Connections. Avoid Differential ground
potentials by not connecting cable shields to ground (earth) anywhere.
• Keep exposed conductors on shielded cables as short as possible to reduce noise on the line
caused by stray transmissions and noise pickup.
DISCRETE
INPUTS
Terminal Board
The terminal board on the MultiRanger allows all inputs and outputs to be connected simultaneously.
Note:
Recommended torque on terminal
clamping screws:
• 0.56 – 0.79 Nm (5 – 7 in.lbs)
Please do not overtighten the screws
DC Unit
Warning: Hazardous voltage present on transducer terminals during
operation.
Run the transducer cable in a grounded metal conduit, separate from other
wiring (except TS-3 temperature sensor wiring, if applicable).
Notes
• Do not use coaxial cable because of electrical noise
interference
• Do not connect the shield and white transducer
wires together; wire to separate terminals.
• Disregard transducer manuals recommending these
practices

Power
Important!
• Before applying power to the MultiRanger for the first time, ensure any connected
alarm/control equipment is disabled until satisfactory system operation and
performance is verified.
• Please make sure unit is connected to a reliable ground.
Relay Ratings:
• four Form A, NO relays (1, 2, 4, 5)
• two Form C, NO or NC relays (3,6)
• 5A at 250 V AC, non-inductive
Relay Function
Note: The MultiRanger 100 or 200 can be programmed with relays. The
number of relays installed depends on the model. To determine the
number of available relays that can be utilized in your MultiRanger 100 or
200, open the lid and count the large white relays to the left of the display.
It is important to count the number of on-board relays as the software
will allow programming of up to six relays whether they are installed or
not.
Power Failure:
• Relays 1, 2, 4, and 5 are NO and will fail in the normal state
• Relays 3 and 6 are wired either NO or NC, and will fail in their de-
energized states.
Relays
Relay contacts are shown in the de-energized position. All relays are handled identically and can be
configured as positive or negative logic using P118 (See Instruction Manual).
mA Output
For more information, consult the mA output parameters (P200 to P219) in the
parameter reference section of the Instruction Manual.

Notes for AC power connections
• The equipment must be protected by a 15 A fuse, or circuit
breaker in the building installation.
• A circuit breaker or switch in the building installation, marked
as the disconnect switch, must be in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
