• Attention! The electrical connection of the equipment must be executed by qualified personnel only!
• Attention! It is mandatory that the housing of the ExCam® Series has to be grounded via a PE connection!
• Attention! Please observe the national regulations regarding security, installation, and accident prevention (e.g. DIN EN 60079-14), as well as the safety guidelines described in this user manual and the EX installation manual!

The delivered ExCam® XF M3016 is equipped with a 5 m electrical connection cable. The user is NOT authorised to do electrical connection procedures inside the pressure-resistant enclosure. The ending of the camera’s cable connection is furnished with a plug.

Potential equalization
The potential equalization/grounding of the camera body is absolutely necessary, in order to avoid static charges and thus formation of sparks. For this purpose, a screw terminal is provided at the rear side, at the bottom (right) (see Figure 5.1). The cross-section of the equipotential bonding should comply with the National Ground Rules (at least 4 mm2).

Wiring table:

Potential| Colour (IEC 60757)| Cross- sec tion| Comment
---|---|---|---
PA| GN/YE| 4 mm2 (rigid)| Terminal: slotted screw M4x0.7 (DIN 84) with washer Ø9mm (DIN 125A),Keep 3Nm tightening torque!

Connection and Fusing
Via the 8 (+1) wire green patch cable the digital video stream is transferred via IP/ TCP/ RTSP protocol levels and the camera module is controlled and/or parametrized via the web interface or the video management software. The power supply of the PoE camera is conducted via this cable. In order to guarantee the power supply of the T08 ExCam XF M3016 (Powered Device/ PD), a Power-over-Ethernet component (Power Sourcing Equipment, PSE) has to be available at the connecting side (e.g. a PoE Switch, a PoE Injector, or Midspan) which meets the IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at type 1 class 1 specification1. The interface of the ExCam XF M3016 uses a 100 Mbit/s „Fast Ethernet“ connection for the data transfer (100BASE-TX).

Network interface/plug assignment (RJ45)
Standardly, the camera’s cable end is furnished with an RJ45 Ethernet plug with Power over Ethernet (PoE). This plug (Fig. 5-3) should be coupled with the RJ45 PoE socket of the network device (PSE). Prior to connecting it to the camera, the network device can already be supplied with power, hence you do not need to observe any “power ON” priority.

Connection to a terminal box (alternatively)
If you have to connect the camera to a terminal box, please remove the plug properly, according to good professional practice. In this case it is imperative to ensure a correct routing of the individual wires according to the EIA/TIA-568B (see Tab. 5.3). As a rule of thumb, the core wires of the same colour coding (IEC60757) should be connected.
Especially in EMC-critical environments, it is important to make sure that the cable shield is properly grounded at the terminal box side.

• Attention! Never open the Ex-e terminal box under voltage!
• Attention! Please observe the international installation regulations for connection chambers with increased safety (Ex-e).
• Attention! Please observe the separate Usual Manual for the Ex-e connection chamber attached in the annex.

Attention: The general specification for PoE allows different operation modes for PDs: Mode A (end span): This is usually used by switches; the supply voltage is executed as phantom power on the data lines. Both polarities are possible.
Mode B (mid-span): This is usually used by PoE injectors; the power supply and protocol transfer is executed on separate pins (plug/pin contact 4.5 is the positive pole and 7.8 is the negative pole). The T08 ExCam Series supports both modes and the used power source (PSE) determines the mode. The pin assignment for the cable SKDP04-T.flex is in accordance with the standard EIA/TIA-568B for 100BaseTX with PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at):

Particularly in EMC critical environments, it is necessary to make sure that the cable shield is grounded on side of the terminal block. The maximum cable length between the camera and Exe terminal box is 95 m.
Video Tutorial:
Please view our video tutorial: “SAMCON 01 Wiring the cable SKDP03-T to the junction box ExTB-3” https://go.samcon.eu/v01

It is allowed to separate and re-connect the ExCam XF M3016 from the network when in operation and/or when interacting with the visualization software (hot plug-in), or, if necessary, to reboot it for carrying out a re-parametrization or set it back to default.
Attention: „Hot plug-in“ as well as the connection and separation of the data and power cable from/of network devices and terminal blocks under power is only allowed within the safe area (non-hazardous atmosphere)!

• Attention! Introduce the foiling up to about 15 mm to the terminals, in order to prevent alien crosstalk. Make sure that the foiling cannot cause any short circuit of the data pairs!
• Attention! Bring the twisted pair composite approximately 10mm close to the terminals, in order to ensure the interference immunity.
• Attention! Use only terminals approved by SAMCON.
• Attention! Finally, check your network installation by per Class-D Link Test.

Example: external connection and fusing via the terminal box
There are several options of routing the ExTB-3 terminal box in a safe area:

Example: direct routing from the ExTB-3 to the safe area
In the case of direct routing from ExTB-3 to the safe area, the power supply and the voltage signal are led from the safe area to the terminal box. Please observe the terminal box assignment, as described above.

• Attention! Cables and wires must comply with the requirements of the IEC 60079-0/1/7 & 14.
• Attention! The supply line must have a sufficient cross-section. The cable protection must comply with national and international regulations.
• Attention! Cable glands which are not fitted with a cable have to be closed with the red blind plug.

Example: Routing via ExConnection Rail (optional accessories)
In the case of routing the ExTB-3 into an ExConnection Rail, larger installation distances can be covered.
Please note: In hazardous areas, the ExConnection Rail (optional accessories) acts as a PoE+ switch, a media converter from copper to fiber- optic cable, as well as a power supply for the cameras.

Appropriate cables & cable glands
An integral part of the device safety is the correct selection of the cables, wires and cable glands.

• Attention! Cables and wires must comply with the requirements of the IEC 60079-0/1/7 & 14.
• Attention! The supply line must have a sufficient cross-section. The cable protection must comply with national and international regulations.
