11.1 Physical Installation

The rugged i-PORT enamel steel enclosure is intended to be wall-

mounted with four adequately sized screws. Before mounting the i-

PORT to the wall the four plastic caps need to be removed from the rear

of the enclosure.

The i-PORT enclosure is rated IP65 (P66?) for protection against water

spray. The enclosure is suitable for industrial installation, but is not

intended to be use in an exterior location. If it is necessary to install the

i-PORT in an exterior location it must have additional shielding against

the weather.

The operational temperature range for the i-PORT is between 32° F and

70° F. If the temperature could vary out of this range additional

precaution must be taken. In the case of cold temperatures a heat

element can be installed in the i-PORT.

11.2 Electrical Installation

Wherever available, a ground wire (Protection Earth) should be

connected to the internal case grounding-stud. This is a

recommendation only and is not essential for i-PORT functionality. The

i-PORT is a low voltage device with no line voltage required.

For a description of the electrical connections refer to Section 2

Terminal Blocks — Brief Description,

and Section 3

System Inputs and

Outputs

. For the specifications on the power supply see Section 8

External Power Supply Requirements

The four terminal blocks in the i-PORT can be removed to make

connecting wires easier. If there is no inline power switch being used

with the i-PORT the power connection block should be inserted last for

power up. This must be done after all other connections have been

made and the other terminal blocks properly installed.

Note: All ‘GND’ terminals are directly connected to system ground, so

is the negative battery terminal ‘BAT-‘.

Generally, any type of cable can be used that fits through the five

compression clamps. From a practical consideration, the wire gauge for

control signal inputs and outputs should be AWG 18 or 20. Power wires

and ground should be AWG 18.
