Installation Safety Requirements
Safety Symbols
Various symbols are used on the instrument, they have the following meaning:
Caution, (refer to the
! accompanying documents)
Functional earth (ground) terminal
The functional earth connection is not required for safety purposes but to ground RFI filters.
Personnel
Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Enclosure of live parts
To prevent hands or metal tools touching parts that may be electrically live, the controller must be installed in an enclosure.
Caution: Live sensors
The fixed digital inputs,
Wiring
It is important to connect the controller in accordance with the wiring data given in this handbook. Take particular care not to connect AC supplies to the low voltage sensor input or other low level inputs and outputs. Only use copper conductors for connections (except thermocouple inputs) and ensure that the wiring of installations comply with all local wiring regulations. For example in the in the UK use the latest version of the IEE wiring regulations, (BS7671). In the USA use NEC Class 1 wiring methods.
Power Isolation
The installation must include a power isolating switch or circuit breaker. This device should be in close proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the operator and marked as the disconnecting device for the instrument.
Earth leakage current
Due to RFI Filtering there is an earth leakage current of less than 0.5mA. This may affect the design of an installation of multiple controllers protected by Residual Current Device, (RCD) or Ground Fault Detector, (GFD) type circuit breakers.
