Important information for your safety!
It must absolutely be read and followed!
A condition of correct and safe operation of the continuousline recorder LINAX 400M is that it is transported and stored
in a suitable manner, competently installed and started as
well as correctly operated and carefully serviced.
Only those persons must work on the recorder who ar e familiar with installation, startup, operation and servicing of comparable equipment and who have the qualification required
for their work.
The contents of these operating instructions and the safety
notes affixed to the unit are to be observed.
The regulations, standards and directives mentioned in these
operating instructions are for the Federal Republic of Germany. When using the recorder in other countries, relevant
national rules must be followed.
The recorder is constructed and tested according to
DIN EN 61 010-1 "Safety requirements for electr onic measuring instruments", it left the factory in safe and proper condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation,
the safety notes in these operating instructions with the
heading "Caution" must be followed. Otherwise, persons
could be endangered and the unit itself as well as other
equipment and facilities could be damaged.
If the information contained in these operating instructions
should not be sufficient in certain cases, the GOSSENMETRAWATT Service will be glad to provide further information.

Interface description LINAX 4000M 14084B
Applications and brief description
The LINAX 4000M is a microprocessor-controlled co ntinuous-line
recorder. It comes in two different versions:
– 1 to 4 line channels,
– 1 to 3 line channels and a printer channel.
The printer channel permits the recording of a measured value
and generates text printouts. The measuring channels are electrically isolated from each other and are floating. The recorder is
connected to transducers and to sensors such as thermocouples
or resistance thermometers. Standard temperature sensor curves
are stored in the firmware of the recorder and linearized with high
accuracy.
In the version "Standard measuring range", the recorder is
matched to the measuring task by means of keys of the display
and control panel or via the RS-485 interface. The version "Universal measuring range" requires additional hardware matching
by means of jumpers.

1.3 Installation
(see figure 2 and figure 3)
Installation in switchboards
1. Insert the recorder into the switchboard from the front.
2. At the sides of the case, slide the fasteners Be into the guide
grooves (see figure 3).
Note
The fasteners Be are suited for side-by-side mounting in horizontal or vertical direction.
3. After aligning, equally tighten the fasteners Be.
Position of use Inclination to the side –30°... 0 ... + 30°
Inclination to the rear 20°
Inclination to the front 20°
Ambien t temp. 0 ... 50 °C

Installation in grid frames
1. Fasten 4 each centering angle bracket (Ordering number
A416A) on the grid frame.
2. Slide the fasteners Be into the guide grooves at the sides of the
case (see figure 3).
3. After alignment, equally tighten the fasteners Be.
1.4 Connection
(see figure 4)
Caution
Be Fastener
The connection between the protective conductor connection and a protective conductor must be made prior to all other connections.
RS-485 interface
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 3: RXD (+)
Pin 5: Gnd (reference potential)
Pin 6: +5 V
Pin 8: RXD (-)
For bus operation:
The voltage + 5V at pin 6 is required when
the LINAX 4000M is used as bus end device.
The shield is attached to a plug-type
connector on the recorder case.

The recorder must only be operated in installed condition.
A power line connection switch of sufficient switching capacity, which
permits all-pole disconnection of the recorder from the power line, must
be provided within reach of the mounting site. It must not annul the protective effect of the protective conductor.
