IMx-S Mains Power and Fuse Holder.
As shown in the picture above, the incoming supply live terminal incorporates a fuse
holder that is fitted with a slow blow T2A, 250 V, 5 x 20 mm, fuse.
Sensor Cables
When routing a sensor cable, it is important that the cable is firmly fixed. The cable must
not be allowed to vibrate or oscillate, since this affects the capacitance of the cable, and
thereby the measurement result.
The sensor cable should not be routed or bundled together with supply cables since they
generate strong magnetic fields.
To connect the IMx-S to sensors, the following sensor cable type is recommended:
• Shielded, twisted pair 2 2 0,5 mm
2
(FKAR-PG 2 2 0.50, DUE 4002 or
corresponding)
See also Cable Glands section.
Ethernet Cable
For lengths up to 15 metres, it is recommended to use pre-fabricated Ethernet twisted
pair cable FTP type, CAT5/6.
For longer cable lengths, it is recommended to use S-FTP (screened shielded twisted
pair) Ethernet cable CAT5/6.
