Connections:

Screw terminal in the base of the

Terminal block on the rear of the

 

 

 

case.

rack unit.

 

To take wires up to 1.5mm2

See Figure 2.7 for wiring details

 

Earthing:

Mains input and sensor connections are fully floating with respect to earth.

 

 

The earth terminal on the freestanding unit and the rack must be earthed.

 

 

 

 

 

Intrinsic safety:

Units MEP*L and MEP*R are intrinsically safe.

 

 

See table 2.2 for certificate details.

 

Output to Head Amplifier:

Approximately 11.5V 20mA maximum

 

 

 

 

 

Temperature Range:

-10ºC to 65ºC

 

 

The units must be left to warm up for 15 minutes before being exposed

 

 

to sub-zero temperatures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Housing:

IP20 enclosure. Optional DIN rail

19” rack unit to hold up to 14

 

 

mounting or wall mounting.

controls.

 

 

 

 

 

Environment:

Maximum altitude : 2000m

 

 

Maximum humidity : 95%

 

 

 

 

 

Installation Category:

CAT II (264V a.c. MAX) Pollution 2

 

 

CAT III (132V a.c. MAX) Pollution 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicators:

 

3 LEDs

 

 

Green = Normal

 

 

Red = Alarm

 

 

Amber = Fault

 

 

At least one LED should be on at any time.

 

 

 

 

 

Fault Indication:

A fault is indicated if too much, or too little current is taken by the head

 

 

amplifier, indicating a short circuit or an open circuit.

Alarm Delay:

1-10 seconds. Preset on front panel (20 turns span)

 

 

 

 

 

Reset:

Returns to normal approx. 200ms after alarm is cleared.
