CMC 99/141 displays the values of virtual logical channels which can be fed with:
– measurement data from built-in physical channels,
– measurement data from remote channels (other devices connected to the MultiCon
CMC 99/141 by RS-485 interface),
– output states and quantities (looped back results of controlling processes),
– generate profiles/timers or also the mathematical combination of one or more
logical channels.
All of these can be freely named and described by the user, and presented in many
forms:
– as numerical values,
– vertical and horizontal charts,

- Check the connections are wired correctly prior to switching the unit on.
- In order to install the unit, a mounting hole must be prepared according to
Fig. 4.2. The thickness of the material of which the panel is made must not
exceed 5mm. When preparing the mounting hole take the grooves for catches
located on both sides of the housing into consideration (Fig. 4.2). Place the
unit in the mounting hole inserting it from the front side of the panel, and then
fix it using the brackets (Fig. 4.4). The minimum distances between the centre
points of multiple units - due to the thermal and mechanical conditions of
operation - are shown on Fig. 4.3.

Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel. During installation all
available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for
executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and E C
regulations.
- The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with a small nominal current
value must be used (recommended bipolar, max. 2A) and a power supply circuit-
breaker located near the unit (Fig. 4.6). In the case of using a monopolar fuse it
must be mounted on the active wire (L).
- The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in
the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be
protected against destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.

- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.
Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to
damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted
into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any
connections.
Unused terminals (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting any
connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the
equipment or electric shock.
- If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing to protecting against
water intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping. In the
case of any doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers, roofing,
seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper
indications keep recommendations listed below.
Depending on version:
85...230...260V AC/DC or
19...24...50V DC; 16...24...35V AC
Fig. 4.6. Connection of power supp y
• Avoid running signal cables and transmission cables together with power supply cables
and cables controlling inductive loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables should cross at a
right angle.
• Contactor coils and inductive loads should be equipped with interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.
• Use of screened signal cables is recommended. Signal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
• In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted pair signal cables is
recommended. Twisted pair (best if shielded) must be used with RS-485 serial
transmission connections.
• In the case of measurement or control signals are longer than 30m or go outside of the
building then additional safety circuits are required.
• In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate interference
filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter and the unit
should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be connected to
the earth with the largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter output must
not be run with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays or contactors).
