[Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time of installation]. All devices have to be supplied by a Class 2 power supply.
Safety Precautions • To make wiring connections to the power supply connector, follow the table with cable and torque specifications below: Terminal Block No. • Wire Size AWG TQ Lb.In. X1/X100 Phoenix connectors AWG 30 - 12 5-7 X1/X100 Anytek connectors AWG 24 - 12 3.5 These devices are Class 2 supplied programmable controllers (industrial PCs) for the use in industrial control equipment and are intended to be (front) panel mounted (Type 1 and 4x for indoor use only). 1.
Safety Precautions • • • • • Ground the product according to the accompanying installation instructions. Only qualified personnel may install the operator panel. Separate the high voltage, signal and supply cables. Make sure that the voltage and polarity of the power source is correct before connecting the product to the power outlet. Peripheral equipment must be appropriate for the application and location. 1.4 • • • Keep the operator panel clean.
Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Space Requirements • • Maximum installation plate thickness: 11 mm Space requirements in millimeters when installing the operator panel: 100 mm 143 mm 50 mm 50 mm 100 mm 100 mm 204 mm Note: The dimensions on the drawing are not proportional.
Installation 2.2 Installation Process The following is needed: • A Phillips/slot screwdriver 1. Unpack and check the delivery. If damage is found, notify the supplier. Note: Place the operator panel on a stable surface during installation. Dropping the panel or letting it fall may cause damage. 2. Use the cut out dimensions that are included on the outline drawing, found in section Operator Panel Drawings and in the Technical Data table, to cut a correct opening in the cabinet.
Installation 4. Connect the cables in the specified order, according to the drawing and steps below. Caution: • Ensure that the operator panel and the controller system have the same electrical grounding (reference voltage level), otherwise errors in communication may occur. • The operator panel must be brought to ambient temperature before it is started up. If condensation forms, ensure that the operator panel is dry before connecting it to the power outlet.
Installation 2.2.2 Other Connections and Peripherals Cables, peripheral equipment and accessories must be suitable for the application and its environment. For further details or recommendations, please refer to the supplier.

Additional Installation Tips 6 Additional Installation Tips When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments or when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations are to be noticed. 6.
Additional Installation Tips Note: The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area. A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies and will not guide disturbances to the ground. Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area. A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick grounding braid. 6.
Additional Installation Tips A good solution may be to use a shielded Ethernet cable, but to connect the shield at one end only. One option is to break the shield, see 3 in drawing above. A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of unshielded Ethernet cable, see 4 in drawing above. The shield can be grounded via an external 0.1 μF/250 V plastic capacitor, see 5 in drawing above. This will connect the HF transients to ground.
Additional Installation Tips 6.3 • • • • • • • • To Achieve Better EMC Protection Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily. Use shielded cables for RS232 communication. Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485. Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link, CAN, Device Net etc. Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus standard.
Additional Installation Tips 6.4 Ambient Temperature The maximum ambient temperature for the operator panel is provided in the specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device cabinet which cools the operator panel’s electronics.
Additional Installation Tips 6.5 Safety Most of the operator panels are fed with 24 V DC.

Additional Installation Tips 6.6 Galvanic Isolation Internal electronic Ethernet DC/DC galvanic isolation Filter DC/AC VCC +24 V DC CFL 0 V (GND) 0V 1.5 m RS422/485 RS232 USB USB The operator panel has galvanic isolation against the 24 V DC feed but no galvanic isolation between the communication ports for RS232, RS422/485 and USB. Only the Ethernet connection has galvanic isolation.
Additional Installation Tips 6.7 • • • Cable and Bus Termination RS485 If maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed is needed, shielded and twisted pair cable should be used. The mutual capacitance may not exceed 52.5 pF/m, and the cable area should be at least 0.25 mm2 (AWG 24). 0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in the cabling. With two-way communication use two pairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V. The shield must be grounded at one end.
