Installation Guidelines

1. Safety First: Ensure all power to the installation area is de-energized and locked out before beginning any work.
2. Mounting: The panel PC supports both built-in (panel mount) and VESA mounting. For panel mounting, prepare the cutout in the control cabinet door or panel according to the dimensions provided in the product documentation. For VESA mounting, use a compatible VESA arm or bracket.
3. Power Connection: Connect the 24 V DC power supply to the designated power input terminals. Observe correct polarity to prevent damage to the unit.
4. Grounding: Ensure the panel PC chassis is properly grounded to the control cabinet's protective earth (PE) busbar to minimize electrical noise and ensure safety.
5. I/O Connections: Connect Ethernet cables to the RJ45 ports, USB devices to the USB ports, and serial devices to the COM ports as required by the application. Ensure secure connections.
6. Cable Management: Route all cables to prevent strain, interference, and accidental disconnection. Use cable ties and conduits where appropriate.
7. Environmental Considerations: Ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Avoid areas with excessive vibration, dust, or moisture beyond the unit's specified operating conditions.
8. Power On: After all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the system and observe the panel PC's startup sequence.
