Important information for your safety!
It must absolutely be read and followed!
A condition of correct and safe operation of the continuousline recorder LINAX 4000L 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 are 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 61010-1 "Safety requirements for electronic 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, our product support
(see page 12) will be glad to provide further information.

1.4 Connection
(see Figure 4)
Caution
The connection between the protective conductor connection and a protective conductor must be made prior to all other connections.
The unit can become dangerous when the protective conductor inside or
outside the unit is interrupted or when the protective conductor connection is undone.
Figure 4 Rear panel and wiring diagrams
1.4.1 Connecting the input signals
• Fasten the signal leads in the screw-plug terminals, maximum
cross section 2 × 1mm2.
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.
1.4.2 Connecting the power supply
• Fasten the power supply lines, max. cross section 1 × 4mm2
or 2 × 1.5 mm2, in the screw terminals. The cross section of
the protective conductor must at least correspond to the cross
section of the line power cable.
