Installation Guidelines

1. 1 Prepare Enclosure: Ensure the control panel is de-energized and locked out. Verify that the panel cutout dimensions match the PC 670's mounting requirements. Clean the mounting surface to ensure a proper seal.
2. 2 Mount the Unit: Carefully 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 manufacturer's specified torque to maintain the IP rating. Do not overtighten.
3. 3 Connect Power: Connect a stable, filtered 24 V DC power source to the designated power terminals. Verify correct polarity (+/-) before connecting. Use appropriate wire gauge for the current draw and secure connections firmly.
4. 4 Establish Grounding: Connect the chassis ground terminal to the main control panel's protective earth (PE) bus bar using a low-impedance conductor. A proper ground connection is critical for safety and noise immunity.
5. 5 Connect Peripherals: Connect any required communication cables (e.g., Ethernet, serial) and I/O devices. Ensure all cables are routed away from high-voltage lines to minimize electrical noise. Power on the system only after all connections are verified and the enclosure door is secured.
