Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 23
3.3 Facility Requirements
The Adept MV controller is intended for use with other equipment and is considered a
sub-assembly rather than a complete piece of equipment on its own. The Adept MV
controller meets the requirements of EN 60204-1, IEC 1131-2, IEC 73, and IEC 447 safety
standards. To maintain compliance with these standards, the controller must be installed
and used properly with any additional equipment in strict accordance with all
requirements of these standards. For more information about safety and standards
compliance, see section 1.3 on page 4, section 1.4 on page 7, and Appendix C.
The Adept MV controller installation must meet the environmental and electrical
requirements shown in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2.
NOTE:
Refer to Appendix A for dimension drawings on the Adept MV-5
and MV-10 controllers.
Voltage Interruptions
During a power failure, the contents of memory are not saved, and you will later have to
reload V
+
and your programs from disk. In some situations, you may find it convenient to
provide an external uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to avoid or reduce power
interruptions.

Recommendations for customer-supplied
enclosure with Adept controller mounted
inside enclosure. (These are mandatory for
installations in EU countries or where CE
marking is required.)
Enclosure must meet EN 60204-1 (IEC 204-1)
requirements (section 5.3.3) and be rated at
IP54. Also, enclosure must provide a method
of locking the enclosure power-disconnect in
the OFF position.
