Supply air manifold for
rail-mounting unit
See Fig. 4 on page 14.
Supply air manifolds and the corresponding
accessories are listed in section 11.
The manifold (Fig. 4) is available as an ac-
cessory and provides a common air supply
for several Type 6111 i/p Converters.
The manifold can be made to be as long as
required by combining two or more connect-
ing rails of the manifolds for 3, 4, 5 and 6
converters. Individual connecting rails are
connected by a coupling (5, order no. 1400-
7294) with seals (4).
Optionally, the manifold can be fitted with a
shut-off valve, pressure gauge as well as
hose connections (screw or push-on connec-
tions) for the output signals.
7.1
Mounting the supply air
manifold
To fix the manifold to a wall or to a panel in
a control cabinet, drill holes for M5 screws
in the groove of the connecting rail.
Make sure you keep 18 mm distance be-
tween the holes and the left and right edge
of the rail to allow you to mount the i/p con-
verters properly.
7.2
Preparing the supply air
manifold
7.2.1
Connectors
Mount connectors (3 and 4) at the ends of
the manifold rail and secure them in place
with the grub screws (6).
Supply air
Connect the supply air either over the con-
nector (3) or over a hose screw connection
or push-on connection (10a or 10b).
Firmly screw the hose screw connection
(10a) or push-on connection (10b) with its
seal (10.1) into one of the two connectors
(3). If the accessories include a shut-off valve
(11), mount it between the connector and
supply air port screw fitting.
End connection
Screw screw plug (2) into the connector us-
ing sealing tape.
If a pressure gauge (1) is fitted, seal it in
place of the screw plug.
Insert seals (4) on both connectors and push
them on the left or right side into the con-
necting rail.
Align connectors and secure them in place
with the grub screws (6).
