Description of Equipment or Protective System:
The YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter is a dedicated device providing power and data to the
PMA.Evolution EVO1X or LAB1X weighing platforms (FM14ATEX0085X). All signal outputs to
the PMA.Evolution are available in RS232 communications. The YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter is
housed within non-metallic enclosure. A dedicated potential equalization connection is provided
on both the PMA.Evolution and the YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter. Power and data connections
between the YCO14-Y and the PMA.Evolution are made via a multi-conductor CAT6 cable.
Ratings - The PMA.Evolution and the YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter are designed to be used together as
a system. The input voltage to the YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter is via USB connections a 5 V ± 0.25 V.
The ambient operating temperature is 0°C to 40°C.
YCO14-Y "ic" Input Entity Parameters:
Ui = 17.0V, Ii = 2.0A, Ci = 5.7µF, Li = 0mH
Ui = 16.0V, Ii = 2.5A, Ci = 5.7µF, Li = 0mH
YCO14-Y with "nA" Input Circuit (non-sparking apparatus) or outside hazardous locations:
Um = 250V
Specific Conditions of Use:
14
1. The YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter shall only be used with the PMA.Evolution.
2. The protective ground connectors on the PMA.Evolution and the YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter shall be
connected together using a potential equalisation conductor with a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm
3. The CAT6 cable used between the PMA.Evolution and the YCO14-Y Ex-Link Converter shall be
obtained from Sartorius.
4. The enclosure of the YCO14-Y is non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of
electrostatic charges under certain extreme conditions. The user shall ensure that the equipment is not
installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions that might cause a build-up of
electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces, additionally; cleaning of the equipment should be done
only with a damp cloth.
5. The equipment shall be installed in such a way that it is protected against UV radiation and the entry of
solid foreign objects or water capable of impairing the safety of the apparatus. Reduce the risk of
mechanical damage to a minimum.
6. If the Ex-Link Converter YCO14-Y is installed in Zone 2, the installation must be done in such a way
that the pollution degree 2 of the YCO14-Y board is guaranteed.
7. In Zone 2 the „USB Power" port may not be used.
8. If the cable contains no Ex ic circuits, the cable must be protected against unintended release by use
of Sartorius „Strain Relief for USB Cord" type YSR01.
