Residual dangers
The ClipX system is a state-of-the art unit and as such is reliable. The scope of
supply and performance of the ClipX system covers only a small area of measurement technology however. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of measurement technology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers. For example, automation equipment and devices must be designed in
such a way that adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is
provided (e.g. access controls, password protection, etc.). When devices are
working in a network, these networks must be designed in such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down. Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a line break
or other interruptions to signal transmission do not cause undefined states or
loss of data in the automation device.

5.3Other mounting options
Instead of using a support rail, you can mount the ClipX on a wall, for example,
using an appropriate bracket. To do so, make a mounting bracket to fit on the
back of the ClipX.
Important: The vents on the back must not be covered over. The minimum clearance between the back of the device and a wall in the area
of the vents is 8mm.

Mounting
Procedure
1. Use a size T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the screws indicated in the picture.
2. Keep the screws, because you should reuse them.
3. Make your mounting bracket.
The material should be about 1 to 2mm thick, to enable you to reuse the
original (M3) screws. The space between the two screws is 43.7 mm.
4. Fix your mount either using the original screws or using M3 screws penetrating a maximum of 5mm into the housing. Fasten the screws only handtight.
Important: You must ground the ClipX housing, such as by way of the
mount.

The ClipX features IP20 protection in accordance with EN 60529 (protection
against touch by fingers; protection against foreign bodies of Ø > 12mm).
The ClipX is supplied as standard with easy-fit push-in terminals. But you can
also obtain screw-type terminals from Phoenix Contact
(https://www.phoenixcontact.com
–MC 1.5/3-ST-3.5 BK for the analog output,
–MC 1.5/12-ST-3.5 BK for the power supply, digital I/O, ClipX bus and syn-
chronization of the TF amplifiers,
–MC 1.5/13-ST-3.5 BK for connection of sensors.
Other variants, such as with locking clips, are also available from Phoenix Con-
tact, e.g. MCVW 1.5/…, MCVR 1.5/…, FK-MCP 1.5/…
The clamping range of the plug terminals is 0.2mm
(AWG16). If you need to connect multiple wires to one terminal, adapt the wire
cross-sections accordingly. Use 10mm wire end ferrules (without plastic collars)
to connect the wires to the terminals wherever possible.
The plug terminals can be protected against interchanging by the supplied
coding pins. To do so, plug a coding pin into one of the slots in the device
sockets and remove the lug of the corresponding connection on the plug terminal.

6.2Shielding and grounding design
The supply voltage connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely
affect module functionality (HBM recommendation: “Greenline shielding design”
– see http://www.hbm.com/Greenline
shortest possible length to the plug terminals and, as far as possible, lay the
shield flat at the control cabinet inlet with shield connection terminal blocks, e.g.
type SKS 8-SNS35 – 3062786 from Phoenix Contact – see illustration.
Fig. 7:Shield connection terminal block for flat contacting of cable shields (ex-
ample)
Double-shielded connecting cables, e.g. for sensors
We recommend using HBM cable Kab 7.5/00-2/2/2 wherever possible. The
cable is double-shielded and low in capacitance. When using double-shielded
cables, connect the outer shield only to the connection for the housing (ground
). Always connect the cable shield by the
symbol , labeled “Outer cable shield” in the connection diagrams), not to one
of the GND connections (). In the case of control cabinets, also lay this shield
contacting on the cabinet – see illustration of shield clamp. Connect the inner
shields of the sensor cables to the connection labeled “Inner cable shield” ().
Use the shortest lines possible for the connections.
Applications in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are exceptions.
There connect all cable shields to the potential equalization connection.
Single-shielded cables
Connect the shields of single-shielded cables to the connection for the housing
(ground symbol , labeled “Outer cable shield” or “Cable shield” in the connection diagrams), not to one of the GND connections (). In the case of control
cabinets, also lay this shield contacting on the cabinet – see illustration of shield
clamp.
