3 SAFETY:

This product should only be used by persons familiar with the product or persons that have
read and understood this manual in full. Any persons not familiar with this product should
refrain from any use until they have read and understood the manual in its entirety.

It is imperative for safety reasons to correctly follow the connection diagram. The connecting
wires are polarity dependent. Only use recommended supply voltage. By mixing the polarity
or by exceeding recommended supply voltage, the product will short circuit and cause
product failure. Exceeding recommended supply voltage can cause bodily harm or death.

3.1 Handle the product with care.

Dropping the product or other miss use causing impact on the PA105 or PA106 can cause
product failure.

3.2 Change Intervals:

It is recommended to replace the PA105 & PA106 Pre-Amplifiers every 5 years. They include
parts which deteriorate over time. Component failure will cause product failure.

3.3 Product Failure:

Product failure means that the product (PA105 or PA106 Pre-Amplifier) has ceased to
function properly). If this product does not function properly – if used with a pick-up sensor
and flow meter, it can lead to the system not registering actual flow.

3.4 Back-up system:

Always have an overfilling back-up system activated to avoid injuries in case of product
failure.

4 CAUTION:

Misuse of this product or use outside of what is recommended in this manual, may result in
personal injury as well as damage to the product and other system installations.

Reference to safe use and handling of this product will be made throughout this manual.

5 THE PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL:

8 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

8.1 PA105-Pre-Amplifier:

The PA105 Pre-Amplifier has an open collector with a max load of 500mA. This is appropriate
for use with sink inputs. This means that the PA105 Pre-Amplifier has a continuous output
equal to the supply voltage. If the supply voltage is 15 volts, then the PA105 will
continuously provide 15 volts – until a pulse comes from the pick-up sensor, closing this
output signal.

8.2 PA106-Pre-Amplifier:

The PA106 Pre-Amplifier has a source output, where the amplitude is equal to the supply
voltage. The maximum current load is 20mA. These are appropriate for source inputs or
pulse inputs. In opposite to the PA105, the out-put signal is always closed – until a signal
from the pick-up sensor comes. The output signal will then have the same amplitude as the
supply voltage. So, if supplied with 12 volts, the amplitude of the output signal will be 12
volts.

9 Connection Diagram:

9.1 Terminal Connection diagram for PA105 & PA106:

When purchased as a silicon filled version – then the signal and supply cables will already
have been connected to the terminal. However – if purchased without a silicon filled version
– and the terminal connection is intended to be performed by the customer – it is very
important to connect the signal & supply cables as instructed & illustrated.

1. Connect the signal cables copper wires to terminals 4 & 6.

2. Connect the signal cable screen to terminal 5.

3. Connect the output signal cable copper wire to terminal 3.

4. Connect the (-) negative supply cables copper wire to terminal 2.

5. Connect the (+) positive supply cables copper wire to terminal 1.

NOTE: The diagram illustrates a PA105 Pre-Amplifier – However, the terminal on the PA105 Pre-Amplifier & the
PA106 Pre-Amplifier are identical.

NOTE: Failure to connect as illustrated and instructed can result in short circuit – or cause loss of signal / loss of
indication of actual flow.
