Mounting Guidelines
Enclosures
Your selection of a proper enclosure is important to ensure safe and proper operation of your
Productivity3000 system. Applications for the Productivity3000 system vary and may require
additional hardware considerations. The minimum considerations for enclosures include:
• Conformance to electrical standards
• Protection from the elements in an industrial environment
• Common ground reference
• Maintenance of specified ambient temperature
• Access to the equipment
• Security or restricted access
• Sufficient space for proper installation and maintenance of the equipment
Mounting Position
Mount the bases horizontally, as shown in the illustration on the following page, to provide
proper ventilation. Do not mount the bases vertically, upside down, or on a flat horizontal
surface.
Mounting Clearances
Provide a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50mm) between the bases and all sides of the
enclosure. Allow extra door clearance for operator panels and other door mounted items. There
should be a minimum of 3 inches (76mm) clearance between the base and any wire duct, and
a minimum of 7.2 inches (183mm) from base to base in a multiple base installation.
Grounding
A good common ground reference (earth ground) is essential for proper operation of the
Productivity3000 system. One side of all control circuits, power circuits and the ground lead
must be properly connected to earth ground by either installing a ground rod in close proximity
to the enclosure or by connecting to the incoming power system ground. There must be a
single-point ground (i.e. copper bus bar) for all devices in the enclosure that require an earth
ground.
Temperature Considerations
The Productivity3000 system should be installed within the operating temperature
specifications. If the temperature deviates above or below the specification, measures such as
cooling or heating the enclosure should be taken to maintain the specification.
Power Considerations
The Productivity3000 system is designed to be powered by 110/240 VAC or 24/48 VDC via
one of the Productivity3000 power supplies. The Productivity3000 has achieved CE
certification without requiring EMF/RFI line noise filters on the AC power supply. Please
review the European Union (CE) appendix for more information.
