This technical description contains important information for the startup and use of the MTX-StarSensor device. Read it carefully before you start working with the MTX-StarSensor device. The warranty will be void should damage occur due to non-compliance with these instructions for use. We cannot accept any responsibility for consequential loss.
INTRODUCTION 1. Description MTX-StarSensor is an integrated solution for measurement with 4-20mA transducers. Its high degree of protection against water and dust, IP67, make it ideal for use in such environments. Its temperature range allows it to work in industrial environments, although large temperature variations as well as very hot or very cold environments can reduce the life of your batteries.
INTERFACE DESCRIPTION MTX-StarSensor has the following panel connectors and indicator LEDs: • 1x RJ45 panel mount connector (RS232 TTL interface, RS485 interface) • 1x transducer 4-20mA panel mount gland connector • 1x SMA female panel mount connector • 1x magnetic switch •...
2. Sensor Transducer Connector There is a gland on the side of the enclosure ready to fit up to a 7mm wide cable. The MTX-StarSensor has an internal 3-way pluggable connector next to this gland. It’s suitable for the most 4-20mA transducer sensors, such as, submersible pressure sensors, ultrasonic sensors and so on.
