Heavy machinery and other instrumentation should not share the same power supply wiring. Use noise filters and surge protectors if required. For EMC protection it is recommended to take the following measures: · Wires emitting interference must be separated from measurement and analysis units · Parallel guidance of measurement cables and electrical power cables must be avoided, use different channels with separation (see European Standard EN50170 for detailed information) July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 8 / 17 3.6. Wiring Diagram Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC Remark: If more than 1 probe is connected, the single wires can be fixed in parallel in the same screw terminal. July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 9 / 17 Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC 4. Initial Operation Before initial operation the power supply wiring and analogue output configuration should be checked (see wiring diagram). Important remark: The power supply fuse protection has to be verified according to the local regulation. Voltages over 39VDC/27.6VAC result in a severe damage of the device! 4.1. Windows PC Software Installation The software «nSoft-ACT-T» is a requirement for the configuration (signal outputs, sensor parameters etc). The software must be installed on a Windows PC with administrator rights and following minimum requirements: Supported operating systems: · Windows XP with SP3 or higher (32+64bit) · Administrator-rights Hardware: · CPU: mind. 1 GHz · USB- connection · min. 512 MB free memory · min. 4 GB free hardware memory · Software Adobe Acrobat Reader The software can be obtained on the website www.novasina.ch or send an email to sales@novasina.ch. Software is license free (Freeware), the special USB configuration cable with adapter is necessary (see accessories) July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 10 / 17 Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC 5. Configuration with nSoft-ACT-T Connect the USB cable on the PC and the nlink+. Open the software by clicking on the Icon after installation. The nlink+ does not require additional power supply. The USB connector is sufficient for configuration and sensor connection. Analog signals / outputs are only active with the additional power supply. Startup Connect configuration cable on the nlink+ and your PC. Choose the adapter in the dropdown menu.

Prepared configuration in the software is overwritten. · Auto Write: The configuration prepared on the software is automatically written to the nlink+: Ideal to quickly configure multiple nlink+ with the same settings. · Show warning before execute (active by default): If active a warning message will appear before read or write. Deactivate if necessary. Configuration procedure: · Choose the adapter if the software does not automatically recognize · Configure sensor (search sensor), measuring point and channels (6) · Configure analog output settings (6, register analog out) · After configuration activate «Write Data» (4) to store the settings on the transmitter. Update required If a firmware version on the nlink+ is not compatible with the installed nSoft-ACT-T this message «Update required» is shown. Contact your local support for the newest firmware file and update instructions. July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 12 / 17 Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC New configuration Connect your nLink+ with the configuration cable to your PC. Connect the nSens as well. Nlink+ is recognized. Register «i» displays additional information about the transmitter. Click on «Search Sensor» Connected nSens probe will be recognized and displayed with the serial number. The identified nSens must now be assigned to measuring points. If one nSens is connected it is automatically assigned to measuring point A. « Measurement Channel» 1 and 2 correspond to analog out 1 and 2. Choose parameter and unit (depending on the type of nSens). « Replacement Mode»: Automatic (default): If the nSens is replaced the nLink+ recognizes the different serial number and replace the removed nSens with the new nSens to the same measuring point. Configuration remains. Manual: A different nSens has to be configured with this software again. July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 13 / 17 Configuration analog outputs Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC Register «Analog Outputs». Assign Signals (Loop mA oder V) and Range (Range low / Range high) according the specification from the automation system. On Fail: In case an error is detected (e.g. nSens disconnected) this output is active. If power supply is interrupted signal output is zero. Store configuration with Write Data: Actual analog value on the output for each channel. Only active with additional power supply. The configuration remains as long as no other nlink+ is connected and Read Data is activated. Choose "Auto Write" and connect another transmitter. The prepared settings will now be stored on the transmitter automatically. « Manual Values» Program fixed values for Simulation and loop checks. Choose Override mode and "Write Data" for activation. As long as manual values are active the sensor values are not displayed. Beware: Deactivate override after completing the checks to receive real time data from the nSens again. July 2023 / Doc.No. 007523.01 14 / 17 Operation Manual nlink+ AS IP & EC 6. Calibration / verification of measuring values For humidity calibration and verification Novasina humidity standards are recommended. These humidity generators are easy to use and reusable multiple times. For the verification of the whole measurement range Novasina offers a set with 5 SAL-SC including carrying case and probe adapter rings. For an optimal calibration and/or verification the room temperature should be between 15...30°C and should not vary more than +/-0,2°C. In order to allow the standards to generate an accurate and stable air humidity the SAL-SC must be well sealed around the probe. For this purpose an adapter with O-ring can be used, which is put inside the SAL-SC hole and then put over the probe. The standards should be adapted to the climatic ambient conditions approx. 1 hour before they are used. If handled properly the SAL-SC generate very stable and accurate relative humidity and can be used as an alternative to humidity generators. 6.1.
