Installation Guidelines

1. De-energize System: Ensure all power to the installation area is disconnected and locked out before beginning any work to prevent electrical shock.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the Panel PC into a suitable control cabinet or panel cutout. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing.
3. Power Connection: Connect the provided European power supply cable to the 110/230 V AC power input of the Panel PC. Verify the power source matches the specified voltage range.
4. Grounding: Establish a proper protective earth (PE) connection to the Panel PC chassis to ensure safety and minimize electromagnetic interference.
5. Ethernet Connections: Connect industrial Ethernet cables to the two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports for network communication.
6. USB and Serial Connections: Connect peripheral devices or external components to the available USB V2.0 ports and the COM1 serial port as required by the application.
7. PROFIBUS/MP Connection: If utilizing the PROFIBUS/MP interface, connect the appropriate fieldbus cable, ensuring correct termination and addressing.
8. Cable Management: Route all cables neatly and securely, separating power and signal cables where possible to reduce interference.
9. Power On: After all connections are verified, re-energize the system and observe the Panel PC's startup sequence.
