ranted in case of use as intended and according to the
rules. The technical specifications and limit values
stated must not be exceeded under any circumstanc-
es. In particular, this applies to the specified ambient
temperature range and IP protection category.
– The leak sensor must not be opened. It does not con-
tain any parts that need servicing.
– Operating the electronic unit of the leak sensor in di-
rect contact with water, aggressive materials or in-
flammable gases and vapours is prohibited.
– As well as these general safety instructions, please en-
sure you also observe the specific safety instructions
when carrying out the tasks described in the following
chapters.

Note:
In the following text, the designation "CMC III Fig. 1: Accessories supplied loose
Processing Unit" refers to both the "CMC III
Processing Unit" and also the "CMC III
Processing Unit Compact". All text passages
which only apply to one of these two variants
are labelled accordingly.

3.1.2 Components
The device consists of a compact plastic housing in
RAL 7035 with a ventilated front in RAL 9005, together
with a sensor probe.

3.2 Proper use, foreseeable misuse

The CMC III leak sensor should only be used to monitor
the floor of the room for conductive liquids. It must only
be used together with the CMC III PU. Any other use is
not permitted.

The unit is state of the art and built according to recog-

nised safety regulations. Nevertheless, improper use
can pose a threat to the life and limb of the user or third
parties, or result in possible damage to the system and
other property.

Consequently, the unit must only be used properly and

in a technically sound condition! Any malfunctions which
impair safety should be rectified immediately. Follow the
operating instructions!

Proper use also includes the observance of the docu-

mentation provided and compliance with the inspection
and maintenance conditions.

Rittal GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for any damage which
may result from failure to comply with the documenta-
tion provided. The same applies to failure to comply with
the valid documentation for any accessories used.
Inappropriate use may result in danger. Inappropriate
use includes:
– Use of impermissible tools.
– Improper operation.
– Improper rectification of malfunctions.
– Use of accessories not approved by Rittal GmbH &
Co. KG.

 Please observe the valid regulations for installation in
the country in which the leak sensor is installed and
operated, and the national regulations for accident
prevention. Please also observe any internal company
regulations, such as work, operating and safety regu-
lations.
 The technical specifications and limit values stated
must not be exceeded under any circumstances. In
particular, this applies to the specified ambient tem-
perature range and IP protection category.
 If a higher IP protection category is required for a spe- Fig. 3: Installing the sensor probe

 Connect the sensor probe connector to the universal

interface (fig. 2, item 4).
 Lay the sensor to the measuring point.
 Using the cable ties provided, fit the sensor probe so
that the contacts are pointing vertically downwards to-
wards the floor.

In order to be able to detect leaks rapidly, the
contacts of the sensor probe should be fitted
as close as possible to the floor, approxi-
mately 1 to 2 mm above it.

 Latch the spring clip into place at the desired position
on the top-hat rail. The sensor update is complete when the following con-
ditions have been fulfilled:
1. The LEDs on the CAN bus connection of the sensor
are green.
2. The multi-LED of the sensor behind the front panel
flashes blue and also green or red, depending on the
status of the sensor.

Further components are connected as a daisy chain.

 If necessary, connect another component (e.g. anoth-
er sensor type) to the second, free CAN bus interface

7.1 Storage
If the device is not used for a long period, Rittal recom-
mends that it be disconnected from the mains power
supply and protected from damp and dust.

7.2 Disposal
Since the leak sensor consists mainly of the "housing"
and "circuit board" parts, the device must be passed on
to the electronic waste recycling system for disposal.
