Chapter 1 The ALA5 The ALA5 is an ATEX certified (intrinsic safety) 2-wire 4-20mA amplifier providing a wide range of signal conditioning for Strain Gauges, Load Cells, Pressure and Torque Transducers. Combining the ICA5ATEX miniature loadcell amplifier with the stainless steel ILEATEX enclosure produces a compact, robust and certified in-line amplifier suitable for use in zones 0, 1, and 2 in hazardous locations. -
Page 4: Connections
The ALA5 is supplied pre-wired with 2-core screened cable for the supply/signal and 4-core screened cable for the loadcell connections. If installing into a hazardous zone, the ALA5 must be connected via an approved ATEX Barrier with the following parameters: Uo = 28V, Io = 100mA, Po = 0.7W, Barrier Impedance 300Ω. -
Page 5: Cable Colour Code
The ALA5 is supplied with a 1m input cable and a 5m output cable. If the cables are too short for a particular installation, they can be replaced with longer lengths or joined provided that an ATEX approved junction box is used and the conditions set out below are satisfied. -

IMPORTANT: OEM customers must hold a notified body Quality Assurance Notification (QAN) if the ICA5ATEX is to be installed into a Mantracourt ATEX approved ‘generic’ enclosure. If installed into a non-ATEX approved enclosure, the whole assembly must be submitted for ATEX certification by an appropriate body. -
