Mechanical installation

Mechanical installation

The Model 320 may be surface mounted onto a panel, attached to DIN rails using adapter clips or wall
mounted using two optional enclosures.

Location

Although the Model 320 is encapsulated, all wiring
connections are made to exposed terminals. The unit
should be protected from weather and moisture in
accordance with electrical codes and standard trade
practices.
In any mounting arrangement, the primary concerns
are ease of wiring and attachment of the
programming cable.
The unit generates very little heat so no consideration
need be given to cooling or ventilation.

Surface Mount Installation

The Model 320 may be mounted to the surface of any
panel using double sided adhesive tape or by attach-
ing fasteners through the holes in the mounting
flanges of the unit.

DIN Rail Mounting

Optional clips snap onto the mounting flanges allowing the
Model 320 to be attached to DIN 15, 32, 35 mm DIN rail
systems.

Wall Mounting

Optional metal and plastic enclosures are available to mount
the Model 320 to a wall when no other enclosure is used. The
enclosure is first attached to the wall using fasteners through
its mounting holes.
After wiring, the transmitter may be attached to the enclosure
with the terminal headers facing in using the slots in the
mounting flanges. As an alternate mounting arrangement, the
Model 320 may be fastened to the box cover using double-
sided adhesive tape.

Model 320 Electrical Installation

Per standard wiring practices, the power must be off
before making any wire connections. The terminal str ips
have removable plug-in connectors to make wiring
easier.

1. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 f or terminal connections
and wiring example.

2. Connect DC power supply positive (+) or AC Line to
terminal marked AC L /DC (+).

3. Connect DC power supply negative (-) or AC
Common to terminal marked AC C /DC (-).

4. If wiring to Series 200 sensor, connect the red wire
to Signal (+) terminal, black wire to Signal (-)
terminal and the shield to Shield terminal (Disregard shi eld for the IR sensors).

If wiring to Series 4000 sensor, connect the red wire to Power Out terminal, cl ear wire to Signal
(+) terminal, black wire to Signal (-) terminal, and shie ld wire to Shield terminal.

If wiring to a sine wave output sensor consult factory.

5. Connect Pulse(+) from pulse input device to Pul se Out(+) of 320, connect Pulse(-) from pulse input
device to Pulse Out(-) of 320.

6. For maximum EMI Protection, connect Model 320 ground lug to panel ground.

7. Ensure that all connections are tight, then plug connector into header.

Note:
Included with every Model 320 is a 320IK kit containing a screw, lock washer and ground lead to
connect the Model 320 to Earth Ground. This will help prevent electrical interfe rence from
affecting the Model 320’s normal operation.

Field calibration requires a Data Industrial A320 Pro­gramming kit (consisting of a custom cable and soft­ware) and a PC running Windows® 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or
XP. In order to program, the
Model 320 must be connect­ed to power, and the A301
cable must be connected to
the Model 320 Comm port
connector and an available
DB9 COM port on a com­puter.

Note:

The Data Industrial A301 Cable will work with all 300
Series products. However the older version of the cable

(A300) does not have sufcient bandwidth to work with
