Installation Guidelines

1. 1
   De-energize Equipment: Before beginning installation, completely disconnect and lock out all power sources to the control cabinet or machine. Verify the absence of voltage using a calibrated multimeter.
2. 2
   Verify Panel Cutout: Ensure the panel cutout dimensions match the requirements for the Panel PC 670. Clean the mounting surface to ensure a proper seal.
3. 3
   Handle with ESD Precautions: Use an anti-static wrist strap and work on a grounded mat. Avoid touching connector pins and circuit board components to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
4. 4
   Mount the Unit: Insert the Panel PC into the cutout from the front of the enclosure. Secure it from the rear using the provided mounting clamps, tightening them evenly to the specified torque to ensure a proper seal.
5. 5
   Connect Power and Ground: Connect the protective earth (PE) conductor to the designated terminal. Securely connect the mains power cable to the unit's power input.
6. 6
   Connect Interfaces: Connect all required communication (e.g., Ethernet, serial) and peripheral (e.g., keyboard, mouse) cables. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and secured.
7. 7
   Final Check and Power-Up: After a final inspection of all connections, remove the LOTO device and re-apply power to the cabinet. Verify the Panel PC boots correctly and establishes communication with the control system.
