Detailed step by step instructions are presented in the remaining of this document. Important Only the cables approved by Dewesoft should be used in order to ensure the IP67 rating of the cable glands. If different cables are used, the user should perform a test to ensure that the cable glands will properly grip the cable and achieve the IP67 rating.
Basic wiring and system requirements The devices should be connected to the industrial PC according to the schematic from the device datasheet using Dewesoft IOLITE POWER-INJECTOR. The required power supply: Mean Well SDR-75-48 The minimum industrial PC requirements are listed below. The values are minimal and assume no mathematics or other plugins running on the PC.
IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Wiring requirements for long chains The exact wiring of the chain of devices depends on the local conditions such as the overall length of the chain, conductivity of the structure, type of power supply, existence of additional power injectors along the chain, availability of local earth connections etc.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL The following configurations include an external power injector which is necessary due to voltage drop in case of long chains. The configurations are presented in the order from the most recommended to the least recommended in terms of EMI immunity. Multiple power injectors, non-conductive structure (i.e.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Multiple power injectors, non-conductive structure (i.e. concrete bridge), AC line to external power supply, no local earth If it is not possible to connect the external power supply and power injector EARTH pins to local earth, there must be an isolation transformer (7) in the MAINS line to the external power supply to protect against electric shock.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Multiple power injectors, non-conductive structure (i.e. concrete bridge), DC line to external power supply, local earth available This schematic shows the wiring in case it is not possible to install an external power supply and therefore a 48 V DC power cable is wired to the external power injector. It is important that the DC cable is shielded for immunity against EMI disturbances.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Instructions for connecting the EtherCAT communication cables to the device - quick method If the cables already come with the M16 cable glands preinstalled (like seen in the picture below), it is possible to connect the cables to the device without opening the top cover. In that case the cable gland is already pre-mounted on the cable, therefore the device does not have the cable gland installed yet.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL 2. Insert the RJ45 into the connector inside the device. It cannot be seen, but with little practice the insertion should be easily achievable. Make sure to hear a click of the RJ45 clip. 3. Screw the mounting thread of the cable gland into the device and tighten it with a 19 mm wrench.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Step-by-step instructions for connecting the EtherCAT communication cables to the device 1. The first step is to unscrew the 6 cylindrical head screws (tool needed: Allen/imbus key 3 mm), denoted with orange arrows. The screws are only lightly attached with the rubber washers not yet squeezed.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL 6. The cable gland should be already placed on the cable behind the RJ45 connector. It consists of two parts: the seal part and the tightening part which could also be a bend relief. For easier installation you can separate them by unscrewing the tightening part / bend relief from the seal part.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL 10. Screw the bend relief on the cable gland and make sure to fully insert the cable into the sensor as shown with the red arrow on the figure below. Before tightening the gland, the connector must be fully pushed inside the port! Tighten the bend relief with the special 19 mm wrench.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL 12. If the sensor needs to have both cables connected, repeat the same procedure to mount the other cable as well. Note: An alternative procedure is possible in which the cable gland is only untightened (to the maximum clamping range) but not removed.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL 13. Attach the cover plate back onto the sensor by applying the threadlocking compound to the screws and tightening them with a 3 mm Allen/imbus key. Important: Tightening torque for the M4 screws: 1.5 Nm (higher torque might damage the thread in the sensor housing while lower torque might not press the main O-ring seal enough) Note: there are also individual seals mounted around the M4 screws which get squeezed into a washer-shape when the 1.5 Nm is applied.

IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Tip: if for whatever reason you want to unplug the RJ45 connector from the RJ45 port, you can easily release it by using the 3 mm imbus key wrench as seen on the figures below. 14. The cables must be firmly attached to the measured structure in close proximity of the device in order to prevent any loads on the cables pulling them in either direction with respect to the cable glands.
IOLITEiw-3xMEMS-ACC INSTALLATION MANUAL Attaching the device to the measured object The device needs to be firmly attached to the measured object in order to correctly detect its vibrations. Four 6 mm diameter holes are available for mounting the device with M5 Allen/imbus screws. All four holes should be used.
