3.1.- PRIOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to use the device safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow
the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used,
use the necessary personal protective equipment, and pay attention to the various warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
The DHC-96 Aac device must be installed by authorised and qualied staff.
The power supply plug must be disconnected and measuring systems switched off before
handling, altering the connections or replacing the device. It is dangerous to handle the device
while it is powered.
Also, it is critical to keep the cables in perfect condition in order to avoid accidents, personal
injury and damage to installations.
The device’s functionality is limited to the category of measuring voltage or specic current
values.
The manufacturer of the device is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the
user or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for
damage resulting from the use of non-original products or accessories or those made by other
manufacturers.
If an anomaly or malfunction is detected in the device, do not use it to take any measurements.
Disconnect the device from the power supply (device and measuring system
power supply) before maintaining, repairing or handling the device's connections.
Please contact the after-sales service if you suspect that there is an operational
fault in the device.

3.2.- INSTALLATION
Terminals, opening covers or removing elements can expose parts that are
hazardous to the touch while the device is powered. Do not use the device
until it is fully installed.
The device should be installed inside an electric panel or enclosure, and panel-mounted.
To install it, take the following steps:
1�- Make a cut in the panel, according to the dimensions in Figure 1�
91
Figure 1: Cut in the panel�
2�- Remove the device’s xing clips (Figure 2).
Clip de jación / Fixing clip
Figure 2: Installation�
44
3�- Insert the device into the cut in the panel.
4�- Fit the xing clips until the device is xed to the panel.
The device should be connected to a power circuit protected by a fuse with a maximum nominal
current of 0�25 A.

6�-RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS
The DHC-96 devices have one RS-485 communications port,with communications protocols:
MODBUS RTU ® .
6.1.- CONNECTIONS
The RS-485 cable must be wired with twisted pair cable with mesh shield, with a maximum
distance between the DHC-96 and the master device of 1200 metres.
A maximum of 32 DHC-96 devices can be connected to this bus.
Use an intelligent RS-232 to RS-485 network protocol converter to establish the
communications with the master device.
