After installing the Intrinsically Safe interface module, you can
proceed to connect power and communication wiring to the
Mercury Terminal.
For the cable entry into the Mercury Terminal, fit a suitable
insulated cable gland (M20) on the four core or twin twisted pair
cable.
The terminal connection blocks are protected by a cover, or the
card reader if fitted. Remove the cover by unscrewing the four
retaining screws.
Power and communication connections are made to terminal block
J5, pins 1 to 4. The cable screen is connected to pin 5.
The Mercury 2+ has a "Simple Equipment Interface" to both
Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs.
The Digital inputs on J2 are whetted and can supply 2.1mA to the
Simple Apparatus Switch. This could be a reedrelay or a
NAMUR style proximity Switch.
