Earthing
The unit has both internal and external earth
terminals.
It is recommended that a cable crimp lug is used
on the earth wires.
The internal earth wire is placed under an earth
clamp which will stop the cable twisting. This
secured by an M4 screw and spring washer.
The external earth lug should be located between
the two M5 washers provided and securely locked
down with the M5 spring washer and two locknuts.

Note: Depending on options chosen an 8-Way DIN
Rail or 6-Way terminal block may be selected.

Cable connections
There are 3 off cable entry holes suitable for
M20x1.5 Ex e approved cable glands or stopping
plugs with a minimum ingress protection of IP66.
The unit can be wired in a number of different ways
depending on the resistor combination selected.
Refer to wiring schematic D150-06-051 for detail.
EOL (End of line) device:
resistor – ExxxR / diode – ED1 / zener – ExxxZ
Series (In line) device:
resistor – SxxxR / diode – SD1 / zener – SxxxZ
Microswitch 1 = M/S 1
When wiring to Increased Safety terminal
enclosures, you are only permitted to connect one
wire into each way on the terminal block, unless a
pair of wires are crimped into a suitable ferrule.
For the six-way terminal block wire sizes allowable
are 0.5mm² to 4.0mm². For the 8-way DIN rail wire
sizes allowable are 0.5mm² to 2.5mm²
Leads connected to the terminals shall be insulated
for the appropriate voltage and this insulation shall
extend to within 1mm of the metal of the terminal
throat. They shall only be installed and wired with
cable in an ambient temperature of -10°C to
+80°C.
All terminal screws, used or unused, shall be
tightened down to between 0.5 Nm and 0.7 Nm.

7.1) Current Limitations
The maximum allowable current is determined as
the smallest value from the following scenarios:
1.
When both module resistor values are the
same as or above the minimum range of
values shown in table 1, the current is not
further limited.
However, when either resistor value is
lower
than those shown in table 1, the current must
be limited to the values given in table 2.

Table 2
For example, if a 24V DC unit is fitted with a
series resistor of 270 ohms, the maximum
current of the unit would be reduced to 62mA
since the resistance is less than the minimum
430 ohms allowable at this voltage.
E2S recommends a minimum resistor value
of 100 ohms for a Series device and 180
ohms for an EOL device fitted to a 24V unit.

Testing unit operation
The push button unit can be tested without the
need to replace any element.
To test, lift the cover lift flap to reveal the push
button. The button should be pressed into the body
to activate the unit and place it into the operated
condition.
The call point switch will now change over its
contacts to operate the alarm.
Once testing is complete the unit needs to be reset
from the operated condition.
Rotate the push button anticlockwise by an angle
of 55º, see guide alignment marks on button and
cover, shown below (1). The push button should
pop back up to its original position.
Ensure that the push button has also twisted back
clockwise by 55º to its original position see guide
marks on button and cover, shown below (2).
The unit is now reset.
