CAUTION

CAB100 analog input channels are not surge protected. Therefore, note the following:

  • The analog input channel wiring must not exceed 30 meters.
  • The wiring must not come from outside the building where CAB100 is installed.

If CAB100 cannot be installed in an environment that meets the above criteria, use a suitable surge protection device that has been installed following local regulations.

CAUTION Before connecting any external measurement device to CAB100, refer to the wiring instructions in the device-specific user documentation.
CAUTION Loop-powered and externally powered measurement devices cannot be connected in the same analog channel terminal block.

Follow the steps below to connect a loop-powered measurement device, for example Vaisala Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series HMT120 transmitter, to the CAB100 analog terminal block. Note that once connected, the loop-powered device is powered via the CAB100 analog terminal block.

  1. De-energize the cabinet: switch off mains power and the circuit breaker located inside the cabinet.

  3. Strip approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) from the analog output wires of the external measurement device.
  4. Insert the wires in the push-in terminals of the CAB100 analog terminal block.

    See the wiring instructions in the device-specific user documentation of the external measurement device.

  6. Reconnect power in the cabinet.
    1. Switch on the circuit breaker.
    2. Switch on mains power.
