2 • INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

This section contains the instructions necessary for correct 
installation of the GILOGIK II  into the machine control panel 
or the host system and for correct connection of the system 
power supply, inputs, outputs and interfaces.

Before proceeding with installation read the following
warnings carefully!
Remember that lack of observation of these warnings
could lead to problems of electrical safety and electromag-
netic compatibility, as well as invalidating the warranty.

Qualified staff

The installation and use of the system and components are only re-
served at qualified staff.

Conform use

the system and relative components are usable exclusively to the use 
previewed in the manual In order to guarantee a correct and sure 
operation are indispensable that the product comes transported, stored 
correctly, installed, and controlled second the previewed modalities. 
Suitable for use in pollution degree 2 environment. 
Open type equipment.

Electrical power supply

• the GILOGIK II is NOT equipped with an On/Off switch: the user 

must provide a two-phase disconnecting switch that conforms to the 
required safety standards (CE marking), to cut off the power supply 
upstream of the system. The switch must be located in the vicinity of 
the system and must be within easy reach of the operator. 

  One switch may control more than one systems.
• To make sure that the system very is connected to earth as indicated 

in the “Module power supply” section.

• if the system is used in applications with risk of damage to persons, 

machinery or materials, it is essential to connect it up to auxiliary 
security equipment. It is advisable to make sure that alarm signals are 
also triggered during normal operation.

  The dispositif must NOT be installed in flammable or explosive 

environments; it may be connected to equipment operating in such 
atmospheres only by means of appropriate and adequate types of 
interface, conforming to the applicable safety standards.

Notes Concerning Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic
Compatibility:

CE MARKING: EMC Conformity (electromagnetic compatibility)

• Compliance with Directive 2014/30/EU
  EN61131-2: Programmable controllers
  Part 2: Equipment requirements and tests.
   The GILOGIK II system is mainly designed to operate in industrial 

environments, installed on the switchboards or control panels of pro-
ductive process machines or plants.

  The Declaration of conformity is available on GEFRAN web:www.

gefran. com

• UL listed standard: UL508 file E198546.

Module power supply

• Supply with class 2 device
• The power supply to the modules on the switchboards must always 

come directly from an isolation device with a fuse.

• The electronic instruments and electromechanical power devices such 

as relays, contactors, solenoid valves, etc., must always be powered 
by separate lines.

• When the power supply is strongly disturbed by the commutation of 

transistor or power units or motors, an isolation transformer should be 
used, earthing the screen.

• It is essential that the plant has a good earth connection:
  - the voltage between neutral and earth must not be > 1V
  - the Ohmic resistance must be < 6Ω;

• In the proximity of high frequency generators or arc welders, use 

adequate filters.

• The power supply lines must be separate from the instrument input 

and output ones.

GEFRAN S.p.A. declines all responsibility for any 

damage to persons or property caused by tampering, 

neglect, improper use or any use which does not 

conform to the characteristics of the controller and 

to the indications given in these Instructions for Use.
