2.3 Electrical Installation

2.3.1 Power Connections

Caution: Do not connect power to your device until you have completed all

input and output connections. Failure to do so may result in injury!

Connect the main power connections as shown in Figure 2.4.

Figure 2.4 Main Power Connections

Table 2.3 Fuse Requirements

FUSE Connector Output Type For 115 Vac For 230 Vac DC
FUSE 1 Power * N/A 100 mA(T) 100 mA(T) 100 mA(T)
FUSE 2 Power * N/A N/A N/A 400 mA(T)

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of
protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac),
always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 ­240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control,
and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on
IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”.
The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be
aware that there are significant differences between the requirements
listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a
result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse
is approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to
consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

RL - Voltage limited resistor, which allows to convert 24 Vdc internal excitation

voltage to the appropriate process input value. For instance: if the potentiometer
value is equal to 10 kΩ, the minimum RL is 14 kΩ for 10 V process input.

When configuring your instrument, select Process Type in the Input Type Menu
(see Part 3).

Wiring Hookup Hookup

In 4-Wire connections the voltage drop across long excitation lead wires of strain
gauge bridge may cause measurement errors. The output of a strain gauge
bridge also depends on the stability of excitation voltage. To correct for voltage
drop and changes in excitation voltage, 6-wire input configuration and ratio
measurement are used.

In order for the Ratiometric to work properly, the External Excitation should
not drop below 4.6 Vdc.

The figure below shows 6-wire hookup for 6-wire bridge input.

Figure 2.11 Snubber

Circuits Wiring Hookup

This device has snubber circuits
designed to protect the contacts of the

mechanical relays when it switches
inductive loads (i.e. solenoids, relays). These
snubbers are internally connected between the
Common (C) and Normally Open (NO) relay
contacts of Output 1 and Output 2.

If you have an inductive load connected
between Common (C) and Normally Closed
(NC) contacts of the mechanical relays and you
want to protect them from the rush current
during the switching period, you have to connect
an external snubber circuit between Common
(C) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts as
indicated in the figure below.

2.3.5 Wiring Outputs (continued)

This device may also have a programmable communication output. The RS-232
and RS-485 Output Connection are shown below.

If your meter has the communication option, the internal excitation is not
available. Use external excitation for strain gauge meter.

External RS-232 connections are not available with -EI or C4EI options.
