SmartDate X40 BFSE Version 01 Feb 2011
15/286
To ensure correct cable assemblies for use with Markem-Imaje products, use only cables
with the required UL certification. (For example: E119932 marked on the cable denotes a
UL approved 25 way ribbon cable). These are supplied directly from your local Markem-
Imaje Business Center quoting the part number in the ‘SmartDate X40 Spare Parts
Catalog’
Electrical Safety
The SmartDate X40 is designed for use with the following supply systems that conform to
IEC 664 light industrial/domestic installation category II mains supply:
• ‘TN’ (any of following - TN-C, TN-S or TN-C-S) For example: A system having one
or more points of the source of energy directly earthed, the exposed conductive
parts of the installation being connected to that point by protective conductors
• ‘TT’ For example: A system having one point of the source of energy directly
earthed, the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to earth
electrodes electrically independent of the earth electrodes of the source
• It is NOT suitable for connection to an ‘IT’ system. For example: A system having
no direct connection between live parts and earth, the exposed conductive parts of
the installation being earthed. This therefore excludes any ‘phase to phase’
connected supplies such as may be available in some factories and/or countries
• Incoming supply cable must be rated at 10A minimum for the SmartDate X40
(independent of nominal supply voltage)
• Maximum switch-on supply current surge for the SmartDate X40 is 51A, Duration =
2ms
Fuses
• Use 10A HRC or HBC types with a minimum of 95A RMS symmetrical prospective
current rating at a 10ms minimum pre-arcing time (e.g.: ASTA certified to BS88 part
2 ‘pull cap’ type or equivalent). CAUTION: For continued protection against risk of
fire, only replace the fuse with the same type and rating
• If the supply fuse, located on the rear of the Controller below the supply connector,
is replaced it must be replaced by an HBC Style ceramic fuse with the rating
shown as ‘T5AH250V’
MCB
• MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker): to IEC 947-2 / EN 60947-2 and BS EN 60898 with
a minimum instantaneous release response current of 10x rated current (type D)
• Klockner Moeller type FAZNS 6-2 (6A, 2 pole type D) or equivalent
• Merlin Gerin type C60 HD 206 (6A, 2 pole type D) or equivalent
