With its novel connection technology, the

eXLink plug-and-socket connector system

is the decisive step towards a safe future.

Connecting and disconnecting electrical

apparatus in hazardous environments,

simplified installation and servicing:

– without tools

– without isolating

– without hot-work permit

That doesn't just increase operating safety,

it also cuts costs – sustainably!

Connecting and disconnecting

apparatus in hazardous areas without

any tools, without isolation or the need

for a hot-work permit is the decisive step

towards a future in which installation,

service and repair of electrical equipment

is simpler, safer and more cost-efficient

to handle.

A complete system of practical components

and modules provide our clients with com-

prehensive solutions.

These connectors are used in power

supplies for moveable on-site controls,

electrical systems and moveable machines

and drives as well as for actuators and

sensors in hazardous areas as well as

for quick connection of explosion-protected

apparatus in hazardous and industrial

environments.

Areas of application for eXLink are found

in the entire field of electrical installations

in hazardous and industrial environments

with high demands on product durability.● indoor and outdoor installations● in nearly all industrial environments● use without additional protective

measures● highest degree of protection with type

IP 66 and IP 68● process-oriented installation for extreme

temperature ranges● high-quality contact system allows for

currents in the mA range as well as for

amperages of up to 10 A● bus-bar ready, Fieldbus-Foundation,

Profibus DP

The use of eXLink is especially efficient for

apparatus which has to be mounted quickly

or replaced and serviced frequently.

● distributions for sensors, actuators and

measuring lines● retrofitting and extensions of plug-in

modules even for industrial applications● panel, tubular and other heating systems● disconnection of terminal devices within

complex apparatus systems● flexible installation for tank lorries, oil

tankers and in vehicle connection systems● small units without cables for snap-on or

flange mounting● bus-bar technology for Ex-e and Ex-i con-

nection of valves, sliders and actuators● measuring-and-control technology

connection e.g. for sensors, actuators,

terminal devices for distributors and

transducers● transportable, moveable apparatus such

as scales or pumps

C o m p a t i b i l i t y

All eXLink components in moulded plastic

or metal can be interconnected and are fully

compatible with the miniCLIX system from

R. Stahl Schaltgeräte GmbH.

S a v i n g S y s t e m a t i c a l l y

With the eXLink system, saving is a snap.

How?

Instead of wiring your actuators and sen-

sors via conventional cable entries and

terminals, just use the new explosion-

protected eXLink connectors.

The big advantage:

All units in the Ex-area can be safely and

reliably connected and disconnected during

ongoing operation

– without tools

– without isolating

– without hot-work permit

– without electrical engineering specialists

– without delay time

How does that add up?

Let's take a system with 2000 measuring

points, a 15-year lifecycle and an average

failure rate for repair of 5% and for mainte-

nance of 10% at two service intervals per

year. Of course we've taken a 5% annual

interest for the eXLink investment into ac-

count. Now, if you consider average hourly

rates and working hours, you come up with

a cost saving of about 42%, if you make

consistent use of eXLink.

Time comparison

Time is money – especially in Ex-areas!

Using eXLink, you not only save money,

but also a whole lot of valuable time –

in our example 9,505 hours in fact.

Instead of screwing on terminals, invest

in a snap-on future – thus saving time

and money. And, as an additional benefit,

you also increase safety, because the

faster you accomplish repair and mainte-

nance tasks, the safer your system.

Your personal saving

We'll gladly figure out how much you can

save by using eXLink, based on your

specific operating data.

The details

The self-cleaning Ex-e multi-contact

connectors provide permanent faultless

electrical connection thanks to their con-

tacts of punched and specially treated

copper-beryllium strips with multiple

contact points. To ensure that the contact

system remains fully functional even during

long-term use in aggressive environments,

all conducting pins are silver plated.

This proven technology has been success-

fully applied for numerous CEAG

products, such as the FB Remote I/O

or the eLLK 92.. NI/NIB.

Function

An Ex-d enclosure around the connector

pins provides explosion protection during

connection and disconnection. When plug-

ging in, first a mechanical connection of

the connector components is effected, and

the flameproof encapsulation of the pins

is attained. Then, the connector is turned

by 30° to its stop. Now the connector can

be clicked into place, closing the electrical

contacts. Subsequently, the connectors

are locked into place and sealed with a

lock nut. This three-phase process reliably

provides a safe and secure connection –

mechanically and electrically.

Practice-oriented design

The high degree of protection, IP 66/IP 68,

and the high-quality materials and enclosu-

res allow versatile application in hazardous

environments as well as in rough industrial

environments. Thus, corrosion-resistant,

impact-resistant polyamides as well

as nickel-plated brass or stainless steel

is available as enclosure material.

Certified retrofitting

By simple replacement of the cable entries

with eXLink apparatus connectors or flan-

ge sockets you can make your field device

immeasurably flexible – with Ex-certifica-

tion, of course.

Field devices with plug-and-socket connec-

tions can be used universally with eXLink

connectors – without great cost or effort

and without loss of Ex-certification. Simply

remove the conventional M20 connection

and replace it with an eXLink connector

which you wire to the terminals inside – and

your pre-assembled field device is finished.

Since eXLink, like all cable glands, has

its own Ex-certificate, your field device will

not be adversely affected for application

in hazardous areas.

Pre-assembled connection cables in usual

lengths with eXLink connectors and

couplers ideally complement your stock.

This means a high degree of flexibility and

an enormous saving in time for servicing

and repair in hazardous areas, as the

replacement of apparatus can be accom-

plished without tools or isolation. Your

service technician can do this on site

without an electrical engineering specialist,

who has other things to do.

The eXLink connector system has all

modules which can make your life easier:

apparatus plugs, sockets, flange sockets,

couplers and angle pieces, if there's

not much space or if the cable would be

kinked.

And on the connection side, eXLink is

open for all the usual types of connection.

Thus all components are available with

crimp connections, Quickon® or cage

clamp. So you're always on the safe side

for your wiring.

Your connection to the future:● replace present gland or cable entry with

eXLink M20● internally wire eXLink● plug-in eXLink cable –

and you're finished

eXLink will be delivered

in a clear blister pack and

be recycled.



Coding

To ensure that only the desired connections

are made, male and female connectors can

be coded with the "time of day" - much like

the CEE system. For a uniform coding, vol-

tages and current types have their own

"time of day":

2 h Bus connections

4 h 110 V AC 2-pole + PE


8 h 24 V DC 4-pole



However, for universal application, we

also have non-coded eXLink connectors

which can be coded individually prior to

application.

Connection types

The new explosion-protected connection

system in the eXLink line, is available in

three connection types: ● crimp connection● cage clamp● toolless QUICKON® system

The crimp connection is suitable for cables

up to 1.5 mm2. On request max. 2.5 mm2

are available.

Although crimp connections are available in

all versions, terminals and the QUICKON®

system are available as plug and coupling

versions.

For voltages >50 V, the terminals are

available in moulded-plastic enclosures.

For permanently secure contacts, CEAG

has tested the required crimping tool for

you. It can be ordered as an accessory.

Impact resistant materials

High degree of protection IP 68

Highly corrosion resistant

eXLink components are available in diffe-

rent versions and codes. Practical aspects

and robustness are our primary concerns.

Thus connectors and couplers in moulded

plastic versions are applied wherever a high

degree of protection is required due to

rough industrial environments. If particularly

aggressive media, extreme mechanical

demands or shielding is required, versions

in brass, nickel-plated or stainless steel are

suited best. High-frequency signals up to

10 MHz can be safely transmitted.

For applications with variable levels of

voltage and frequency, CEAG eXLink offers

a pre-assembled connector system with

preset codes (time of day). Thus, making

the settings is not necessary, and it is also

ensured that only matching pairs can

be connected.

A direct entry into enclosures < 2000 cm3

of flameproof protection is possible with

flange sockets and inlets in metal version.

For universal application, non-coded

connectors and couplers are also available

which can be assembled by electrical

technicians and subsequently coded.
