1.0 Functionality
The Uniwire to RS232 converter is used between RS232 data signal and either Uniwire or opto isolated
port on communication interface for gAVC 1100 or gAVC 1200.

Reference to “gAVC 1100 Installation Manual” for general information.

Reference to “gAVC 1200 Installation Manual” for general information.

Definitions
Technicians are qualified persons educated or trained to mount, operate, and also troubleshoot technically
correct and in accordance with safety regulations.

Limitations
This manual only applies to the following Product numbers:

94072 Uniwire to RS232 converter

and only for mounting in non-hazardous area.

Repair of the unit and replacement of components must be done by gAvilar only.

2.0 Mounting
Only technicians who are familiar with the technical terms, warnings, and instructions in the manual and who
are able to follow these should connect the module.
Should there be any doubt as to the correct handling of the module, please contact your local distributor or,
alternatively,
gAvilar b.v. - Kamerlingh Onnesweg 63 – Dordrecht – The Netherlands
Tel. +31 85489 7130 - E-mail: [email protected]

Mounting and connection of the module should comply with national legislation for mounting of electric
materials, i.a. wire cross-section, protective fuse, and location. Descriptions of input / output and supply
connections will follow in this paper.

When mounting the option board please also observe the guidelines in the paper "ESD correct handling".

2.1 Installation type 1, Uniwire to RS232 converter for EX installation:

To be connected between an RS232 port and Uniwire (going into hazardous area) with a serial data
communication isolator (type MTL5051) in between. See chapter 3 for additional EX limitations.

2.4 Installation type 4, RS232 to optical isolated port at communication controller EX installation:
To connect a RS232 port to the optical isolated port at a communication controller for gAVC 1100 & 1200
(placed in hazardous area), with a serial data communication isolator (type MTL5051) and zener barrier in
between.

Zener barrier: The intrinsic safety does not depend on the earth connections on the Zener barrier.
Therefore it’s not needed to connect the earth terminals on the Zener barrier.
See in chapter 3 for additional EX limitations.

Setting jumper inside 94072. Jumper must be open circuit.

The MTL5051 need additional power supply 24VDC.

Notes:
# Instead of supply from RS232 terminal 4 DTR it is possible to use external supply. Then connect: 0V at
terminal 2 and +7 - 12VDC at terminal 5 on 94072 RS232 to Uniwire converter.

3.0 Ex description
3.1 General
The Uniwire to RS232 converter cannot be placed in hazardous environment, but it can be connected to
gAVC 1200 in hazardous area via Uniwire or the communication controller.

3.2 ATEX and intrinsic safety (Installation type 1 and 4 only):

The 94072 product is a “simple apparatus”
Only to be connected in the intrinsic safe circuit between communication isolator MTL5051 manufactured by
Measurement technology LTD and gAvilar intrinsic safe Uniwire circuit.
The MTL5051 isolators don’t need protective ground.

Or by using MTL5051 and zener barrier PEPPERL & FUCHS Z961 to reduce EX data signals from MTL5051
to fit opto output at communication controller.
Zener barrier: The intrinsic safety does not depend on the earth connections on the Zener barrier. Therefore
it’s not needed to connect the earth terminals on the Zener barrier.
Keep the intrinsic safe terminals at MTL5010, 94072 converter and Uniwire terminals away from other not
safe signals. A creepage distance of 50mm is adequate.

Placement in safe area only!

3.3 Installation, inspection and maintenance in hazardous environment

Repair of the unit and replacement of components must be done by gAvilar only.
For Installation, inspection and maintenance it’s recommended to follow the standards:
• EN 60079-14 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres
Part 14. Electrical installations in hazardous area (other than mines).
• EN 60079-17 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres
Part 17. Inspection and maintenance of electrical installations in hazardous
area (other than mines).
