POWER SUPPLY INPUT
The power supply input terminal can be used for powering
both the
HI504903
supervisor (directly from the mains with
a 12VDC adapter) and the
HI142
network (through the su-
pervisor).
For
HI504903
, use a 12VDC adapter
(
HI710005
or
HI710006
) and connect
the black wire to the positive input terminal
(marked “+”) and the black & white wire to
the negative one (marked “-”).
For
HI142
network, connect the first
HI142
using a cable made as shown in the “Ap-
pendix, section 1” and connect the “+” and
“-” wires to the “+” and “-” pins of the
HI504903
power supply connector.
All hard wiring can be accomplished through four cable
glands on the bottom side of the case, by passing
wires through the rubber grommets and tightening
the nuts.
Note
All connected cables should end with cable lugs.
BATTERY
FOR SAVING BATTERY, THE HI504903 IS SUP-
PLIED WITH BATTERY NOT CONNECTED.
PLUG THE BATTERY CONNECTOR BEFORE
STARTING OPERATION.
Use only rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery with
12 V and 0.8 Ah capability.
To connect the subsequent dataloggers one to the other, use
a cable with RJ11 plugs, made as explained in the “Appen-
dix, section 2”.
To terminate the line, plug on the last
HI142
the termination
key supplied with the
HI504903
supervisor.
All the instruments connected to the RS485 port are “slave”
devices that are queried by the
HI504903
supervisor. In
other words, the interface can work only as a “master” com-
ponent, whereas the connected instruments work as remote
terminal equipments answering to the commands only.
Each
HI142
instrument is identified by an unique address
number, included in the 000001 to 999999 interval, which
corresponds to the Serial Number of the temperature
datalogger.
As additional feature, the
HI504903
interface is also pro-
vided with internal Fail Safe Open Line protection method.
To minimize electromagnetic interferences, it is recommended
to use shielded and twisted pair cable to connect the units.
