M12 cables. Refer to chapter 3.5 Sensing Probes for details on the “Sigma plug-and-play” and the “Sigma compatible” probes. The use of the Sigma 05 in any other way than described in this manual bears a safety risk for people and the entire measurement installation and is therefore not allowed.

1.2.3 Mounting, Start-up and Operation The Sigma 05 Modular Sensor Platform has been produced under state of the art manufacturing conditions, has been thoroughly tested and has left the factory after fulfilling all safety criteria. The manufacturer has taken all precautions to ensure safe operation of the device.

General The Sigma 05 is a host device acting as a hub for intelligent E+E sensors with RS485 interface and Modbus RTU protocol. It accomodates up to 3 probes and features 2 analogue outputs as well as an optional display for max. 3 measurands.

Power off Sigma 05 before connecting or disconnecting sensing probes. Failing to do so may cause damages to Sigma 05 and to the probes. ▪ Choose the Sigma 05 supply voltage (in the range 15 - 30 V DC) to match the probe supply requirements. ▪ For minimizing the self-heating and its effect onto the measurement accuracy of the RH and / or T probes, use lower supply voltage, e.g. 15 V DC. The self heating affects mostly the RH and / or T probes...

Even None, odd, even Stop bits 1, 2 Modbus address Sigma 05 is Modbus master and does not have an address Tab. 4 Interface default settings The recommended settings for multiple devices in a Modbus RTU network are 9 600, 8, even, 1. The Sigma 05 represents 1 unit load in an RS485 network. RS485 communication settings can be changed with PCS10 Product Configuration Software.

5 M anual Operation / Setup The Sigma 05 is ready to use and does not require any configuration by the user. The Sigma 05 factory setup corresponds to the type number ordered. Please refer to the data sheet at www.epluse.com/sigma05. The user can change factory setup with the help of the PCS10 Product Configuration Software and the USB cable for connecting Sigma 05 to PC (HA010327).
