Chapter 4 General specifications Chapter 4 General specifications The information in this manual has been compiled with great care and to the best of our knowledge. The manufacturer, however, assumes no liability for any incorrect specifications that may be provided in this manual.
1 BLE mA Link 4.5 Safety instructions For the connection, commissioning and operation of the BLE mA Link , the following information and higher legal regulations of the country (e.g. ÖVE), such as valid EX regulations as well as the applicable safety and accident prevention regulations for the respective application case must be observed.
Chapter 4 General specifications 4.5.1 Use of the hazard warnings DANGER: Indicates a potential or threatening hazardous situation that will result in death or serious injuries if not avoided. WARNING: Indicates a potential or threatening hazardous situation that can result in death or serious injuries if not avoided.
Do not install the device in any other way to the one described in the operating instructions. Improper use will invalidate the warranty. 4.6 Übersicht Top of the BLE mA Link Left side of the BLE mA Link 1 Pressure compensation 2 Analogue output (7-pin MIL connector) 4.6.1 Block diagram Block diagram of the BLE mA Link Rev.

. In the event of unfavourable environmental conditions (e.g. low temperatures), it may occur that the battery capacity is depleted before this period of time has elapsed. Store the BLE mA Link in its original packaging.
Chapter 4 General specifications In addition, the operator must comply with the local legal requirements for the safety of the personnel (accident prevention measures) the safety of the equipment (protective equipment and maintenance) the product disposal (waste disposal law) the material disposal (waste disposal law) the cleaning (cleaning agents and disposal) and the environmental protection amendments.
The portable instrument is approved for Ex zone 2 and is designed to locally issue measurement values recorded by a compatible data logger as a 4-20 mA signal. The current value being issued is transferred to the BLE mA Link via a Bluetooth connection (Bluetooth Low Energy). Compatible data logger (e.g.myDatasensH2S1000 BLE/3G ATEX ) Data logger for recording gas concentrations.
5.1 Calculating the specified current value The scale of the output signal is automatically adjusted to the measurement range of the gas sensor being used. If, for example, sensor type H2S H7 (0-200 ppm) is used, a gas value of 0 ppm equates to an output signal of 4 mA.

An RMA number is mandatory for any returns and can be obtained from the Support & Service Centre (see "Contact information" on page 45). The return shipment of the BLE mA Link must occur in the original packaging and with freight and insurance paid to Microtronics Engineering GmbH (see "Contact information"...
Important note: To prevent any damage to the device, the work described in this section of the instructions must only be performed by qualified personnel. 7.1 Dimensions Dimensions: Length and diameter 7.2 Installing the BLE mA Link Important note: Ensure installation is completed correctly. Comply with existing legal and/or operational directives.
(1) to the wall (see "Wall mounting - step 1" on page 24). The mounting bracket should be arranged so that the upper side of the BLE mA Link inserted in the bracket is facing the data logger from which the issued values should be received. If the position of the data logger cannot be determined accurately, it is recommended that the mounting bracket is aligned in such a way that the connection of the BLE mA Link is facing downwards.

The power source supplying the current loop should therefore be switched off. Important note: If you operate the BLE mA Link in areas with a zone 1 explosive atmosphere, observe the ATEX requirements when connecting the open ends of the Connection cable 7- pins for sensors 2,8m (206.602) with your actuator (e.g.

Based on the currently displayed value, the type designation and serial number for the relevant module are shown in the upper section of the display. If BLE paring of the data logger and BLE mA Link was not possible, error "E15" is shown on the display.
The BLE mA Link does not have any user interfaces. Compatible data loggers can, however, display status information about the BLE mA Link on the display or via the input screen for configuring the site. The data logger is configured via the web interface on the myDatanet server; the web address is provided by your responsible sales partner.
