ESCRIPTION
This protection module fulfills two basic functions. First it
distributes the current of a large power source to four lower
current output channels and therefore allows for smaller
wires to be used. The second function is to permit only so
much current on the outputs that the input voltage of this
unit (which corresponds to the output voltage of the power
supply) does not fall below 21V.
This ensures a safe and an uninterrupted supply voltage for
sensitive equipments, such as PLCs, controls or sensors, when
they are connected directly to the same power supply as the
PISA module. Less critical loads that are not affected to short
voltage interruptions or that could even be the cause of a
fault on the 24V power supply are connected to one of the

ESCRIPTION
This protection module fulfills two basic functions. First it distributes the current of a large power source to four lower
current output channels and therefore allows for smaller wires to be used. The second function is to permit only so
much current on the outputs that the input voltage of this unit (which corresponds to the output voltage of the power
supply) does not fall below 21V. This ensures a reliable supply voltage for sensitive equipments, such as PLCs, controls
or sensors, when they are connected directly to the same power supply as the PISA protection module.
The protection module has one 24V input and four output channels to which the current is distributed. Each output
channel is equipped with a redundant over-current protection, which avoids that wires will be overloaded. All four
output channels will shutdown simultaneously, if the current of one individual channel or the maximum allowed
current for the protection module is exceeded.
A safeguard circuit in the input stage of the PISA module works like a valve. It permits only so much current that the
input voltage does not drop below 21V. In case the input voltage would fall below this value (e.g. due to overloads,
too small of a power supply or high inrush currents such as from starting a motor), all four output channels will be
actively current limited and will shutdown after a certain period of time.
A typical wiring configuration is shown below. All sensitive loads are connected directly to the power supply. If
needed, these load circuits can be protected with standard circuit breakers or fuses. Loads which are less sensitive to
voltage dips or interruptions or which are the source
of the voltage drop themselves are connected to the

This protection module is suitable for DIN-rail mounting. Use DIN-Rails according to EN 60715 or EN 50022 with a
height of 7.5 or 15mm.
The protection module can be used with any regulated 24Vdc power supply. If the power source can deliver more than
40A continuous, the PISA module shall be equipped with an external input fuse (e.g. 30/32A). The power capability
and performance of the power supply can limit the output characteristics of the PISA module.
Make sure that the input voltage polarity is correct before applying the input voltage.
Do not connect batteries to the outputs of the PISA11 module.
This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
The unit does not contain serviceable parts.
If damage or malfunction should occur during operation, immediately turn power off and send unit to the factory for
inspection.

This device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct airflow and do
not cover ventilation grid.
The standard mounting orientation is input terminals on the bottom and output terminals on the top. Do not use the
unit in other mounting orientations.
Keep the following installation clearances:
- Top and bottom: min. 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom
- Left and right:
min. 0mm if the total output current of the PISA module is less than 15A
min. 6.4mm if the total output current is equal or higher than 15A and the ambient temperature
is between 45°C and 60°C.
min. 6.4mm if the ambient temperature is above 60°C (except for PISA11.401, PISA11.402 and
PISA11.403).
A high voltage drop between the power supply and the protection module might cause a malfunction. It is not
recommended to use wires longer than 2x2m (for 2.5mm
2
or AWG14 wires) or 2x4m (for 4mm
2
or AWG12 wires) to
avoid undesired undervoltage conditions on the input of the protection module.
At ambient temperatures above 50°C and output currents higher than 15A (sum of all four channels), do not use a
wire size smaller than 2.5mm
2
(or AWG14) and use wiring scheme Fig. 3-2.
Use only regulated PULS power supplies to meet the conducted low frequency interference requirements when used in
marine applications according to the GL regulations (section 20 of the GL regulations).

-
Risk of electrical shock, fire, personal injury or death.
Turn power off before working on the device. Protect against inadvertent re-powering.
Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes.
Do not modify or repair the unit.
Do not open the unit.
Use caution to prevent any foreign objects from entering the housing.
Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected.
Notes for use in hazardous location areas:
The units are suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D locations.
The units are suitable for use in Group II Category 3 (Zone 2) environments and are evaluated according to EN 60079-
0:2009 and EN 60079-15:2010.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARDS!
Substitution of components may impair suitability for this environment. Do not disconnect the unit or operate the
reset button unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The signal-connector may
not be used in hazardous location areas unless additional measures are met to avoid an unintended disconnection
(e.g. an additional mechanical fixation). The connection must meet the requirements of the EN 60079-15:2010. A
suitable enclosure must be provided for the end product which has a minimum protection of IP54 and fulfils the
requirements of the EN 60079-15:2010.
