2.3  I-Link device 

 

The I-Link device is attached to a LEM current transducer (CT) whose output signal is 
measured and converted, for the purposes of transmission over the I-BUS.  
It is designed to accommodate up to 2 current sensors: a combined charge/discharge sensor, 
and a separate ‘float’ (trickle) sensor. 
The I-Link module can be fixed on a wall or panel with two screws (M4), using max. fastening 
torque 2.8 Nm or mounted on a metallic DIN Rail thanks to the clip on its back. 
 
Mechanical drawings:  
The module is 34.8 mm thick. 
Cables are about 50 cm long 

 

 
 
It requires external power supply in range 18-34V.
