PanelView 600 Terminals

Wiring and Safety Guidelines
Install the PanelView 600 terminal using publication 70E, Electrical Safety
Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA general
guidelines, follow these recommendations:
• Connect the PanelView terminal to its own branch circuit
The input power source should be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker rated
at no more than 15 amps.
• Route incoming power to the PanelView 600 terminal by a separate path from
the communications cable.
• Where power and communication lines must cross, they should cross at right
angles. Communications lines can be installed in the same conduit as low level
DC I/O lines (less than 10 Volts).
• Grounding minimizes noise from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is a
safety measure in electrical installations. To avoid EMI, shield and ground
cables appropriately.
• A source for grounding recommendations is the National Electrical Code
published by the National Fire Protection Association of Boston.
Enclosures
The PanelView 600 terminal must be mounted in an environment that provides
IEC-1131-2 Pollution degree 2 protection.
Mount the PanelView 600 terminal in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal
circuitry. The terminal meets NEMA Type 12/13 and 4X (indoor use) ratings
only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with the equivalent rating.
Allow enough space within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Consider the
heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient temperature around
the PV600 terminal must be between 0
°
and 55
°
C (32
°
and 131
°
F).
Make provisions for accessing the back panel of the terminal for wiring,
maintenance, installing a memory card, and troubleshooting.
Required Tools
Other than the tools required to make the panel cutout, the tools required for
installation are:
• small slotted screwdriver
• torque wrench (in. / lbs). with slotted or phillips head driver
