Supply Cable

To connect IMx-S to 240 VAC or 120 VAC, the following is recommended:
• FKLK 3 x 1,5 mm2 (16 AWG) or EKLK 3 x 1,5 mm2 (16 AWG) or corresponding,
with minimum voltage requirement 300 V and temperature range of -40 to +70 ºC
(-40 to +158 ºF).
It is required that the IMx-S must be connected to protective ground/earth (PE). Refer
to Mains Power for attaching power cable to the mains power/power grid.
Important - The cross section area of the PE wire must be equal or greater than
the cross section area of the power wires. The PE wire should be color labeled
green/yellow. However, in some countries, other cable requirements may apply.
Important - Mains cable must be properly fixed with a cable gland to prevent the
cord from strain, twist or move. See Cable Glands section as well.

Cable Glands

If the sensor cable shields are to be grounded to IMx-S unit, then metallic EMC type
cable glands with 360 degree shield connection are recommended for all cable lead-
through except the mains and communication cable.
Important - All unused cable ways must be closed with blind plugs. All cable glands
and blind plugs must be made of material with fire protection V-1 or better

Mains Power

In order to attach power cable to the mains power grid, follow the directions below.
• First connect the green-yellow wire to the PE (protective earth) terminal.
• Connect the blue wire to the N (neutral) terminal.
• Connect the brown or black wire to the L1 (line) terminal.
Important - Make sure that the power is turned off before touching the power
cable. Touching the leads of a powered cable can cause serious injuries.
Important - In some countries, you have to be certified in order to connect an IMx-
S to the power grid.
