CAUTION
Defects in the module cannot be excluded if a supply voltage greater than 30 V is used. If the supply voltage drops below 10 V, the module switches off.
The SomatXR series and its modules are intended for use in an industrial environment. When used in residential or commercial environments, additional arrangements may be required to limit electromagnetic emissions.
For example, in the case of voltage supply by battery, wrap the power supply cable (1‑KAB294‑5) around the included inductive coil four times as pictured below.
NOTE
This applies to MX modules only and not to the supply of CX23‑R or EX23‑R modules.
If using the NTX002 or NTX003 AC/DC Power Supply Units, the system complies with residential / commercial environments (EN 61326 class B) without any additional arrangements.
If several modules are connected to each other via FireWire for time‐synchronous data acquisition, the supply voltage can be looped through. The power pack used must be able to provide the appropriate output. The maximum permissible current on the FireWire connection cable is 1.5 A. The supply connection must be repeated if the chain is longer.
CAUTION
For power distribution via FireWire, an external voltage supply with the same voltage potential is required on every third module.
If several amplifiers are operated non‑synchronously, they must be supplied separately.
It is recommended to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in vehicles with battery operation between the battery and module to compensate for voltage drops during start procedures. HBM offers the 1-UPX002-2 which can provide uninterruptible power for up to three MX modules.
To use the UPX002 unit, connect the power supply to the input power connector using a 1‑KAB2115-2 cable. Connect the UPX002 output power cable to the X104 power supply port of the MX module.
For more information on the UPX002 capabilities, refer to the 1-UPX002-2 Data Sheet.
