8.1 Plug technology and clamping areas
All PMX plug-in cards (PX401, PX455, PX460, PX878)
are delivered as standard with easy to fit plug terminals
using Push-In technology. Plug terminals can also be
delivered with a screw-on system as an option.
Push-In technology
The clamping area is 0.2mm2 (AWG24) to 1.5mm2
(AWG16). If several conductors are to be connected to a
terminal, the line cross-section must be adapted
accordingly. End sleeves (without plastic collars, 10mm)
should be used on the strands to connect the wires to the
terminals.
The shield of the transducer cable must be connected to
the ground connection provided on the PMX multipoint
connector, in accordance with HBM Greenline informa
tion http://www.hbm.com/Greenline
.
Important
The grounding terminal on the PMX is not a protective
ground (optional connection).
The measurement system is fitted with an automatic
current limiter for each device card, as well as for the
PMX basic device.
