M- Link Mounting Information
CAUTION: Before beginning installation of this product, disconnect all electrical power to the equipment. Make sure the equipment cannot operate during installation. Follow all safety warnings of the equipment manufacturer. Read and follow all installation instructions.

• Mount the M-Link horizontally so the top is toward the sky. Keep metal away from all sides and top of the M- Link by 12 inches or more to achieve best performance.
• Do not place objects on top of or touching the sides of the M-Link.
• We suggest mounting to the flat surface on the top or side of the panel. Another option is using our bracket mount kit.
• Mount the M-Link with gasket down against a flat surface and secure with fasteners provided using an X- pattern. Torque to 18.14 in-lb ± 2.7 in-lb (2.05 Nm ± 0.3Nm). Do not overtighten.
• Direct mount requires surface cutout at the 18-pin connector and Ethernet port. Drill (4) mounting screw holes. See M-Link Cutout Template section.
• The bracket with magnet mount prevents cutting the mounting surface.

M-Link Mounting Dimensions

Direct Mount

1. Ensure the harness and Ethernet wires will have clearance to connect to M-Link from underneath and route to connections.
2. Use the cutout dimensions on the mounting surface from the topside. Cut the mounting surface for the 18-pin connector and Ethernet port so the device will rest flat on surface.
3. Drill holes for the (4) mounting screws.
4. Mount the M-Link with gasket down against mounting surface and secure with fasteners provided using an X- pattern. Torque to 18.14 in-lb. ± 2.7 in-lb. (2.05 Nm ± 0.3Nm). Do not overtighten.

CUT-OUT FROM TOP SIDE SCALE 1:1 IN. (MM.)

Bracket Mount Kit
When using the M-Link Bracket Mount Kit with fasteners provided in the kit, mounting options include top or side mount. The M-Link is secured using magnets or drilling holes in the surface for mounting bolts.

• Bracket Mount with Magnets

1. Attach the M-Link to the bracket. Place M-Link on bracket matching the mounting holes and secure with short screws from underneath top side of bracket to M-Link.
2. Tighten screws using an X-pattern. Torque to 18.14 in-lb. ± 2.7 in-lb. (2.05 Nm ± 0.3Nm). Do not overtighten.
3. Insert bolt through magnets flat side to sit flush in countersink (4). Attach to bottom of brackets mounting holes (4) and secure with flat washer and locknut (4).
4. Attach the M-Link harness 18-pin connector to the M-Link. Place the mounting assembly on the surface.
5. Support the harness using the provided stay straps to secure the harness in several places to prevent excessive vibration and to keep away from heated or moving parts. The special clips allow for attaching to metal or plastic when holes are not present.![](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FW-MURPHY-53702504-Excite-Automation-And-Controls-9.png)

Entity Parameters

Inputs / Outputs are only for connections for devices located in CLASS 1, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C, D, OR CLASS 1, ZONE 2 GROUP, IIC HAZARDOUS location or ordinary (NONHAZARDOUS) location with non-incendive simple apparatus or approved device with entity concept parameters (Voc/Uo, Isc/Io, Po, Ca/Co, La/Lo, Vmax/Ui, lmax/li, Pi, Ci, Li) appropriate for connection to associated apparatus with entity concept parameters as listed in the tables..

• The output current of this apparatus is limited by resistor such that the output voltage-current plot is a straight line drawn between open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current. The entity concept allows interconnection of non-incendive apparatus with associated apparatus not specifically examined in combination as a system when the approved values of Voc (or Uo) and Isc (or lo) for the associated apparatus are less than or equal to Vmax (Ui) and Imax (li) for the non-incendive apparatus. Capacitance and inductance of the field wiring from the non-incendive apparatus to the associated apparatus shall be calculated and must be included in the system calculations. Cable capacitance, Ccable, plus non-incendive equipment capacitance, Ci must be less than the marked capacitance, Ca (or Co), shown on any associated apparatus used. The same applies for inductance (Lcable (or Li) and La (or Lo), respectively). Where the cable capacitance and inductance per foot are not known, the following values shall be used Ccable = 60pF/ft, Lcable = 0.2 μH/ft.
• This apparatus may also be connected to non-incendive or simple apparatus as defined in Article 504.2 and installed and temperature classified in accordance with Article 504.10(B) of the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), CEC C22.1 Annex F for non-incendive field wiring, and other local codes, as applicable for connection with entity concept parameters as listed in tables. Examples of ‘simple apparatus’ are general purpose contact/switch, thermocouples and RTD.
• Control equipment must not use or generate more than 250 V rms or dc with respect to Earth.
• For installations in which both Ci and Li of the non-incendive apparatus exceed 1% of the Ca/Co and La/Lo parameters of the associated apparatus (excluding the cable), then 50% of Ca/Co and La/Lo parameters are applicable and shall not be exceeded.
• This equipment is suitable for use in non-hazardous locations and hazardous locations Zone 2, Group IIC T4 or Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D Temperature Code T4 Installations.
