ELPRO 215U-2 Installation guide

  • Hello! I am an AI chatbot trained to assist you with the ELPRO 215U-2 Installation guide. I’ve already reviewed the document and can help you find the information you need or explain it in simple terms. Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
  • Which areas should be considered when selecting an antenna for the 215U-2?
    What safety precautions are necessary when dealing with the SUP+ and SUP- terminals?
    How can I connect to the module for configuration?
    What is the IP address used for connecting via USB?
    Which ports are available for connecting to the 215U-2?
    How can I wire the digital input/output channels?
    What is needed for surge protection?

HAZLOC NOTICES
The 215U-2 is suitable for use in
hazardous locations that are rated Class
I Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D.
The 215U-2 must be installed in an
enclosure that maintains an ingress
protection rating of IP54 and meets the
enclosure requirements of EN50014 or
EN60079-0.
The RF coaxial cable must be installed
in a metallic conduit, per the US
National Electrical Code (NEC) or NFPA.
SUP+ and SUP- terminals must only be
powered from an NEC Class 2 circuit.
WARNING - EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Do not disconnect equipment while the
circuit is live unless the area is known
to be free of ignitable concentrations.
Substitution of any component may
impair suitability for Class I Division 2.
NOTE
The 215U-2 module ships from
the factory configured for global
frequency and power. Set the radio
region to access country specific
radio options.
Antenna installation
When selecting an antenna, consider radio proximity.
Use Figure 1 as a guide for installing an antenna and attaching it
to the 215U-2.
Note: Do not operate the radio without an antenna or RF load
fitted

Power supply wiring
The ground (GND) and “SUP–“
terminals are connected
internally to the ground terminal.
Connect the screw terminal on
the end plate to ground for surge
protection.
Expanson I/O power
and RS‑485 serial
connection
An on-board RS-485
terminating resistor provides
line termination for long runs.
Enable terminating resistors
at far end of the RS-485
cable.
Configuration switches
Use the DIP switches in the
side access panel to select
analog input voltage and current,
and default configuration
settings.
