Chapter 4: Installation
This section provides information on how to mount the system and
establish the electrical connections.
4.1 Preparation
For proper installation, the owner / operator must make the prepara-
tions necessary for meeting the following conditions:
Permissible ambient conditions
Temperature:
Depends on the permissible temperature range
of the component installed (cable, MUX, sen-
sor); (see 'Chapter 3: Technical data', page
11)
Relative humidity:
10% to 100%, condensation is permissible if
all openings of the cabinet are closed securely
(door, cable glands,..).
EM fields:
Strong electromagnetic fields, such as genera-
tors, high-voltage cables, etc. must be elimi-
nated from the immediate vicinity of the sys-
tem.
Required connections
Power supply:
100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Network:
Ethernet (CAT 5 E) with TCP/IP ,
baud rate: 100 Mbit
Cabling
Shielded cables are used for standard installations. No special instal-
lation procedures are necessary unless the environment is electro-
magnetically contaminated; in that case, see the special notes listed
in chapter 5.
The following recommendations should be observed when laying out
cable paths:
- Cables between MUXes and sensors should be kept short in order
to minimize interference and cable expense.
- All the machines in a train should be connected to a suitable poten-
tial compensation lead.
- Maximum cable lengths:
- Cabinet - last sensor in the string line: 1000 meters
- Cabinet - Network: 50 meters
- All bends, loops, and excess cable (such as approx. 30 cm / 12" at
each connection) must be included in cable length calculations.
Tools and consumables
For fastening the cabinet and the MUXes
- Drill and drill bit for M8 and M10 screws
- M8, M10 screws and matching washers or mounting anchors, 4
each
- Open-end wrench of suitable size
