The Ethernet port accepts standard Ethernet cable via an RJ45 connector.
The Ethernet port can be used as a monitoring port with no additional protection required.
If connecting direct to a computer, simply use an Ethernet patch cable to connect devices point to point.
If connecting to an Apple iPad of iPhone you must use the MPEC "Lightning to Ethernet" cable (MPEC Part No.
SA380-IT-LE) and have the SA380-IT "App" installation (available on the App-store).
If using the Ethernet port as a permanent data connection then an additional lightning arrestor device rated to 2 kV line-to-earth must
be provided between SA380-IT and local switch.
Test
Successful connection can be verified by checking that the LAN port Link indication is lit solid, and the the activity indication is
blinking.
The connection status of the logger can be casually observed using the SA380-IT status indications. (See section 4.2)
In-depth status information can be observed using the web-based configuration and diagnostics application. (see section 4.4.4)
3.7.3 Volt-Free Contact (VFC)
The VFC is used to give a local indication of hardware or earth fault.
Tools / Parts Required:
Ferrules.
Crimp Tool.
Action:
The VFC acts as a simple switch, the polarity of connection is irrelevant.
The maximum voltage that can be applied across the VFC is 60 V DC or 60 V AC RMS.
The minimum loop impedance of the circuit must be 100 in order to meet line-to-line surge immunity requirements.
The VFC is to be wired into an alarm circuit, or VFC input of a data logging device as follows:
