5.5.1
Installing connection module CDB620 or CDM420
Depending on the application, you can install either connection module CDB620 or
CDM420. The installation process is the same for both modules.
Important
If the PC with the SOPAS-ET configuration software accesses the Interrogator´s auxiliary in-
terface (RS-232; 57.6 kBd) via the connection module, the connection module should not
be installed more than 3 m cable lengths away from the interrogator.
1. Install the connection module close to the interrogator.
2. Install the connection module in such a way that the opened device can be accessed
at any time.
Damage to the device!
The maximum thread reach of the two blind hole taps M6 is 6.5 mm. Longer bolts damage
the device.
>
Use bolts of a suitable length.
