Connection Procedure
• Disconnect power from the system.
• Remove the grey protective cover from the associated input module
• Configure the jumper switches as shown below (i.e. J6, J7, J11, J13 and J14 switched
ON, all others OFF)

• Connect a voltmeter (range 0-24V min) between pins 22 (+V) and 24 (0V) of PL1.
• Connect power to the system.
• Adjust VR1 and VR2 until voltmeter reads between 15V and 24V (VR1 and VR2 provide
fine and coarse voltage adjustment respectively).
• Disconnect power to the system and connect the wires from the detector head to PL1 on
the input module observing the following:
• Connect power to the system and ensure the detector head operates.
• Measure the voltage between the + and 0 terminals at the detector head.
• Refit grey protective cover.
• Perform software configuration (refer to ‘MCU Software Configuration and System
Calibration Manual’).
• Perform system calibration.
The electronics for the head derives its power from the
current loop. A separate supply is provided for the sensor
due to the sensor requiring more than the 4-20mA loop
current range.
