5. Electrical connections

Connect the leads acc. to the instructions on nameplate.

Make sure that all cables are not live when making the connections! Impending danger by high power supply voltage! Take care of current transformers!

Also note that, ...

... the data required to carry out the prescribed measurement must correspond to those marked on the nameplate of the SINEAX I 538 (-measuring input, measuring output and power supply, see Fig. 6)!

... the resistance in the output circuit

- may not overrange the value

$$ R _ {\text { ext }} \max. [ k \Omega ] \leq \frac {1 5 \mathrm{V}}{I _ {\mathrm{AN}} [ \mathrm{mA} ]} $$

$$ \left(I _ {A N} = \text { current output end value }\right) $$

- with power supply via output leads (2-wire connection, output 4 - 20 mA) dependent on power supply H (12 - 32 V DC)

$$ R _ {\text { ext }} \max. [ k \Omega ] = \frac {H [ V ] - 1 2 V}{2 0 m A} $$

- may not underrange the value

$$ R _ {\text { ext }} \min. [ k \Omega ] \geq \frac {U _ {A N} [ V ]}{1 0 m A} $$

$$ \left(U _ {A N} = \text { voltage output end value }\right) $$

... the measurement output cables should be twisted pairs and run as far as possible away from heavy current cables!

In all other respects, observe all local regulations when selecting the type of electrical cable and installing them!
