SKF Multilog On-Line System IMx-M
User Manual
Normal operating conditions are defined as all channels are loaded
with 17 mA each. For higher loads the maximum allowed ambient
temperature must be lowered.
Important: If CMM + PRM slot 4 is to be used, the maximum allowed ambient
temperature must not exceed 45 °C (113 °F).
For assembly and installation instructions of the fan tray, refer to the supplier's
documentation. It is important to ensure that the cables are secured in a proper way to
relieve the pressure from connectors.
The fan tray must be inspected regularly and clean any air intake filters for optimal
performance to ensure proper ventilation.
General Electrical Interface
Important - All wires and cables connected to input and output terminals shall
have a flammability rating VW-1, FT-1 or fulfill the requirements according to IEC
60332-1-2 or IEC 60332-2-2.
Sensor Cables
When routing a sensor cable, it is important that the cable is firmly fixed. The cable
should never be allowed to vibrate or oscillate, since this affects the capacitance of the
cable, and thereby the measurement result.
The sensor cable may not be routed or bundled together with supply cables since doing
so can generate strong magnetic fields.
To connect the IMx-M rack to sensors, the following cable type is recommended:
Shielded, twisted pair 2 x 2 x 0,5 mm2 (FKAR-PG 2 x 2 x 0,50, DUE 4002 or
corresponding)
Cable type shall have a flammability rating VW-1, FT-1 or fulfill the requirements
according to IEC 60332-1-2 or IEC 60332-2-2.
Important - In general, all sensor cables must be routed as far away as
possible from the high voltage cables. If this cannot be done, care should be taken
to use high quality shielded cables.
Supply Cable
To connect an IMx-M rack to 230 V AC or 110 V AC, use the following:
FKLK 3 x 1,5 mm2 or EKLK 3 x 1,5 mm2 or corresponding, with minimum voltage
requirement 300 V and minimum temperature -40 ºC.
Cable type shall have a flammability rating VW-1, FT-1 or fulfill the requirements
according to IEC 60332-1-2 or IEC 60332-2-2.
Supply cable shall be protected by a 10A D-type fuse.
