1. Mechanical installation
On Chapter 9.2 you will find detailed instructions for the installation.
For panel-type meters you have to prepare an opening of 92 x 92 mm / 3.6” x 3.6”. Install the device and fix it
with the two mounting clips which were part of the delivery.
You can install devices in wall-mounting enclosures either by hanging them upon the center slot or by sliding
the slot under a screw, which is an alternative for limited space. Either way you have to fix it additionally with
two screws.
Install the device in a place where it is not put under mechanical or chemical strain!
ATTENTION
1.1 Installation of panel-mounting converters
Mind the protection class:
• Panel mounting version: IP 54 (front), IP 30 (Housing)
• Wall mounting version: IP 65 (closed terminal cover)
Prepare an opening of 92 x 92 mm / 3.6” x 3.6”.
Install the device from the front side and fix it with the
two mounting clips which were part of the delivery.
Screw tight until the device is fixed perfectly.

1.2 Installation of wall-mounting converters
Manual OPTISENS CAC 050 / IAC 050
Unscrew the terminal cover.
Drill three holes (max. M5) according to the drawing.
Mind that there are two ways for installation:
(1) You can hang the device upon the upper screw.
In that case drill the upper hole 120mm / 4.7” above
the lower two.
(2) Or you can slip the fixture on the back of the
device under the upper screw. In that case the upper
hole has to be another 15mm / 0.6” higher.
Insert the upper screw and make sure to leave at
least 3 mm between wall and screw head for the
fixture.
Mount the device and fix it with the two lower
screws. Close the terminal cover or start with the
connections.

2. Electrical connection
ATTENTION
You will find a detailed connection diagram on the following pages.
Before connecting the power supply check the information on the nameplate of the device!
Input, output and control lines must be installed separate from each other and separate from power lines!
For inputs and outputs use screened lines and connect the screen on one side only.
The conductivity measurement is interference-sensitive. Use a special screened cable and over long
distances or in humid atmosphere additionally an impedance converter.
For the connection of the temperature sensor use a low-resistance cable with a large diameter.
When using the relays, mind that with inductive loads, interference must be suppressed. If that is not
possible, the relay must be protected at the terminal block in the converter by a resistance-capacitance filter
or, in case of direct current, by a free- wheeling diode.
