3. Installation PLA44 is prepared for wall mounting in the fixed switch boards. In order to assure well ventilation, the PLA44 has to be installed vertically. There has to be empty space at least 50 mm at the top and bottom and 20 mm at the sides.
4.1. Supply voltage Supply voltage is required to operate the PLA44. The type and level of the necessary supply voltage is written on the back label. Before applying the supply voltage, make sure that the voltage level and system frequency match the details on the label.
PC for activating the communication and data transfer. 4.6. Temperature sensor Temperature sensor is connected directly to PLA44 inputs 20 and 21 according to the picture 2. The sensor is NTC type with resistance 10kΩ / 25°C. 4.7. Digital inputs / outputs The instrument is equipped with two opto-isolated transistor outputs inputs.
Voltage, current and power values can be shown in bar-graph form as well. Bar graphs have synchronized automatic scale which is adjusted according to min and max displayed values to provide fast and clear comparison of measured values in all phases.
