This section contains the instructions needed for
correct installation of IR-12/IR-24 controllers on the
machine/host system control panel and for correct
connection of the power supply, inputs, outputs and
interfaces.
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
BEFORE INSTALLING THE INSTRUMENT!
Disregard of such warnings could create
electrical safety and electromagnetic
compatibility problems, as well as void the
warranty.
2.1
E
lectrical Power suPPly
• the controller DOES NOT have an On/Off switch: the user
must install switch/isolator conforming to safety requisites (CE
mark) to cut off the power supply up-line of the controller.
The switch must be installed in the immediate vicinity of the
controller in easy reach of the operator.
A single switch can be used for multiple devices.
*
the earth connection must be made with a specific lead.
• if the product is used in applications with risk of harm to
persons or damage to machines or materials, it MUST be
equipped with auxiliary alarm devices.
It is advisable to provide the ability to check for tripped alarms
during regular operation.
DO NOT install the product in rooms with hazardous
(inflammable or explosive) atmosphere; it may be connected
to elements that operated in such atmosphere only by means
of appropriate interfaces that conform to current safety
standards.

2.2.1
CE MARKING: EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility) conformity
in compliance with Directive 2004/108/CE and following
modifications.
Series IR-12/IR-24 controllers are mainly intended for
industrial
use, installed on panels or control panels of production
process machines or systems.
For purposes of electromagnetic compatibility, the most
restrictive generic standards have been adopted, as shown
on the table.
2.2.2
LV (low voltage) conformity
in compliance with Directive 2006/95/CE.
EMC conformity has been verified with the
connections indicated on table 1.

2.3
2.3.1
•
The power supply for the electronic instrumentation on the
panels must always come directly from a cut-off device with
fuse for the instrument part.
•
Electronic instrumentation and electromechanical power
devices such as relays, contactors, solenoids, etc., MUST
ALWAYS be powered by separate lines.
•
When the power supply line of electronic instruments is
heavily disturbed by switching of thyristor power groups or
by motors, you should use an isolation transformer only for
the controllers, grounding its sheathing.
•
It is important for the system to be well-grounded:
- voltage between neutral and ground must not be > 1V
- Ohmic resistance must be < 6Ω;
•
If the grid voltage is highly unstable, use a voltage stabilizer.
•
In proximity of high-frequency generators or arc welders,
use adequate grid filters.
•
The power supply lines must be separate from instrument
input and output lines.
2.3.2
Before connecting or disconnecting any connection, always check
that the power and control cables are isolated from voltage
Appropriate devices must be provided: fuses or automatic
switches to protect power lines.
The fuses present in the module function solely as a protection
for the IR-12/IR-24
•
Connected outside circuits must be doubly isolated.
•
To connect analog inputs, strain gauges, linears, (TC, RTD),
you have to:
- physically separate the input cables from those of the
power supply, outputs, and power connections.
- use braided and shielded cables, with sheathing grounded
at a single point.
:
2.3.3
Use the extra-rapid fuse indicated in the catalogue according to
the connection example equipped.
- Moreover, the applications with solid-state units require a safe-
ty automatic switch to section the load power line.
To ensure maximum reliability, the device must be correctly
installed in the panel in such a way as to obtain adequate heat
exchange between the heat sink and the surrounding air under
conditions of natural convection..
Fit the device vertically (maximum angle 10° to the vertical
axis) see figure 3
• Vertical distance between a device and the panel wall
>100mm
• Horizontal distance between a device and the panel wall at
last 20mm
• Vertical distance between a device and the next one at last
300mm.
• Horizontal distance between a device and the next one at last
20mm.
Check that the cable holder runners do not reduce these di-
stances, in this case fit the cantilever units opposite the panel
so that the air can flow vertically on the dissipator without any
obstacles.
