PHOENIX CONTACT NEARFI P 2A B Remote Energy Coupler

Inductive coupler
For safe and proper use, follow these instructions. Keep them for future reference.

Safety notes

• Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the installation instructions as described.

• When installing and operating the device, observe the applicable regulations and safety directives (including national safety directives), as well as the generally recognized technical regulations.

• Observe the safety information, conditions, and limits of use specified in the product documentation.
  Comply with them.

• Assembly and electrical installation must correspond to the state of the art.

• Opening or modifying the device is prohibited. Do not repair the device yourself; replace it with an equivalent device instead. Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from non-compliance.

Installation

• The device is designed exclusively for operation with SELV/PELV from a Class ES1 “electrical energy source” in accordance with EN/IEC 62368-1 and VDE 0868-1. The device may only be connected to devices that meet the requirements of class ES1 in accordance with EN/IEC 62368-1.
• Make sure that the wiring on the primary side and the secondary side is adequately dimensioned.
• Observe the voltage drop across the cable. In the event of undervoltage, the devices can no longer function.
• The connection parameters, such as the required stripping lengths for the wiring, can be found in the installation information for the respective field-side circular connector.
• The parallel connection of multiple remote couplers is not permitted.

Installation location

CAUTION: Hot surface
The device housing can become hot.
The device may remain hot even after disconnecting the supply voltage.

• Ensure sufficient touch protection.
• Prevent inadvertent contact by using a mechanical barrier or clearly visible warning signs.
• Select the installation location so that metallic objects cannot enter the air gap between the base and the remote.
• The die-cast housing and the device-side circular connectors satisfy the requirements of degree of protection IP65.
• Put protective caps on unused connection sockets to ensure an IP65 degree of protection.
• Design the installation location such that the heat loss can be dissipated. Mount the die-cast housing on a metal plate, heatsink, or similar heat-dissipating material.
• The device can heat up due to the effects of induction on the power coils. Maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm from metallic objects

WARNING: Electromagnetic fields
During mounting and operation, electromagnetic fields are generated around the device.
Maintain a distance of at least 300 mm from the devices

At a clearance of 300 mm, the thresholds for electrical and magnetic field strengths are satisfied. Based on the EU Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC, this clearance is, in accordance with EN 62311, the base threshold value or reference value for the safety of persons in electromagnetic fields. For persons with active medical aids (such as pacemakers), further (operational) threshold values may apply under certain circumstances

Short description (1)

The NEARFI-P couplers transmit power contact-free over an air gap in the centimeter range (24 V DC, 2 A).
The base coupler transmits the power to the remote coupler.

1. Die-cast housing
2. LED ring
3. Upper housing part (power coil centered in the middle behind the logo)
4. Mounting option with inside thread (2x M6, depth = 7 mm)
5. Bottom of the housing: DIP switch, QR code, additional mounting options with inside thread (4x M6, depth = 7 mm)
6. Mounting flange with mounting holes (Ø = 5.5 mm)
7. M12 circular connectors for input voltage (base coupler) or output voltage (remote coupler)
8. Functional ground connection with inside thread (1x M4, depth = 5 mm)

LED ring

Remote voltage output overload/ short circuit
Off| Base not ready for operation or switched off via control input (DI PWR_CTRL)| Remote not coupled
Red| On| Critical error, internal temperature too high, external supply voltage significantly beyond the nominal range| –

DIP switches
The DIP switches in the device do not have a function.

4 Mounting and removing (4 – 6)

Maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm between the two opposing base and remote couplers.
The black plastic side of the devices is the active surface. The power coils are positioned beneath this surface.

NOTE: device damage
The device can heat up due to the effects of induction on the power coils.
Maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm from metallic objects.

NOTE: device damage

• Only mount and remove devices when the power supply is disconnected.
• Mount the device on a flat, load-bearing surface or profile.
• Use standard M5 or M6 screws (ISO 4762 or multi-tooth screws) and spring washers. Observe the maximum torque of the screws.

Mounting with two M5 screws

• Mark the drill holes on the mounting surface and drill the holes. (4)
• Drill the holes with the specified diameter.
• Fix the die-cast housing in place using screws and spring washers. (5)

Mounting option with four M6 screws (6)
Inside thread, thread depth = 7 mm, tightening torque 0.7 Nm

Mounting option with two M6 screws (7)
You can also mount the device from above with two M6 screws.
Inside thread, thread depth = 7 mm, tightening torque 0.7 Nm

Connection of the cables (8)
The power supply connecting cable may be a maximum of 3 meters long.

NOTE: device damage
Never apply voltage to the output X1 (Power OUT) of the remote coupler.

Pin| Base: Connection X1 (power IN)| 8| Remote: Connection X1 (power OUT)| 9| Conductor color
---|---|---|---|---|---
M12 male, A-coded| M12 female, A-coded
1| +19 V DC … 30 V DC| 24 V DC, ±5 % / 2 A| Brown
2| DI (control input)| Not used| White
3| GND| GND| Blue
4| DO (status output)| Not used| Black
5| Not used| Not used| Green/yellow or gray

Circular connector (10)

• Plug the field-side circular connector fully onto the connection on the device.
• To affix the plug, tighten the union nut hand-tight.
• Ensure the connection cable has sufficient strain relief in accordance with the conductor cross-section.

Functional grounding (11)
There are various ways to ground the device:

• Via the mounting screws at bottom, with toothed lock washer (11, 1)
• Via the mounting screws at top (11, 2)
• Via the grounding connection with an M4 screw and toothed lock washer (11, 3)
  Inside thread, thread depth = 5 mm, tightening torque 0.6 Nm
