Electrical Installation
  1. Loosen the lid clip and unscrew the lid of the enclosure.
  2. Unscrew and lift up the digital display.
  3. Connect the wires to the terminals and ground the instrument according to local regulations.
  4. Tighten the cable gland to form a good seal.
  5. Fix the digital display and adjust the transmitter using the Local User Interface (LUI).
Operation - Electronic Module
  • Settings include delay functions, failsafe modes, and test modes.
  • Use DIP switches for signal output delay and failsafe settings.
  • LED indicators show sensor status, signal output, and power supply presence.
Troubleshooting
  • Check power supply voltage if no alarm response.
  • Readjust trip point potentiometer P2 if alarm doesn't switch when sensor is uncovered or covered.
  • Ensure relay changes state when toggling S3.
Notes for Use in Hazardous Locations
  • Installation and inspection must be carried out by trained personnel according to applicable codes.
  • Repair of flameproof path is not intended.
  • ATEX/UKEX certificates and standards are available on the manufacturer's website.
