Installation Guidelines

1. 1 Prepare Mounting Location: Ensure the panel cutout dimensions are correct and the mounting surface is clean, flat, and can support the weight of the unit. Verify adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing behind the panel.
2. 2 Mount the Unit: Insert the Panel PC into the cutout from the front. Secure it from the rear using the provided mounting clamps. Tighten the clamps evenly in a cross-pattern to ensure a uniform seal against the panel gasket. Do not overtighten.
3. 3 Connect Protective Earth (PE): Connect the chassis grounding terminal to the control cabinet's protective earth bus using a low-impedance conductor. This is a critical step for both safety and noise immunity.
4. 4 Connect Power Supply: After confirming the source voltage matches the unit's rating (115-230V), connect the mains cable to the power input terminal. Ensure the connection is secure.
5. 5 Connect Peripherals: Connect all required communication and I/O cables (e.g., Ethernet, serial, USB). Route cables away from high-voltage lines to minimize electrical noise. Secure all connectors.
6. 6 System Power-Up: Once all connections are verified, re-apply power to the cabinet. The Panel PC should boot into the Windows 98 operating system. Proceed with application-specific software configuration.
