SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-Rail
User Manual Supplement
Revision B
Important safety warnings:
Within the enclosure a grounding bar is provided for use in conjunction with the
incoming cabling. Important additional information and guidance in respect of
glanding, grounding and cabling (sensor, Ethernet and RS485) can be found in the
SKF Multilog IMx-16/IMx-16Plus User Manual.
The user connection terminals,
, are of a lever, push in type (tool-free design).
Cable entry is vertical (at right angles to the underlying PCB). These terminals accept
conductors in the range 0.2 to 4 mm
2
(24 to 12 AWG) with an insertion length of 9 to
11 mm. For cable/wire ends, bootlace ferrules or cord end terminals are
recommended.
When routing or arranging cabling within the IMx-Rail enclosure avoid, where
possible, routing the analogue sensor cabling directly over the DC-DC power module.
2.5.1 Cable glanding
The glands used with the IMx-Rail should be chosen to maintain the enclosure IP
rating and be appropriate for a railway environment and the cable type. As mentioned
above,
, the IMx-Rail is prepared for a mix of M12 x 1.5mm and M20 x 1.5mm
glands.
The M12 x 1.5 gland SKF supply with the optional GPS module,
, has the
following specifications:
Application:
Designed to withstand high pressure wash-downs
Corrosion resistant, stable
Material:
Nickel-plated brass
IP rating:
IP 68 - 10 bar
IP 69
It is recommended that all glands used with IMx-Rail are of an equivalent or higher
specification.
Only remove the fitted blind plugs where it is necessary to accommodate a
cable. Any unused cable entries must remain closed off. Always use an
appropriate cable gland to accommodate the cable.
