Panel Layout & Clearances
There are many things to consider when designing the panel layout. The following items
correspond to the diagram shown.
Note:
there may be additional requirements, depending on
your application and use of other components in the cabinet.
NOTE: There is a minimum clearance
requirement of 1.5” (38 mm)
between the panel door (or any
devices mounted in the panel door)
and the nearest DL06 component.

1. Mount the PLCs horizontally as shown below to provide
proper ventilation. You
cannot
mount the DL06 units
vertically, upside down, or on a flat horizontal surface. If
you place more than one unit in a cabinet, there must be a
minimum of 7.2” (183 mm) between the units.
2. Provide a minimum clearance of 1.5” (38 mm) between
the unit and all sides of the cabinet.
Remember to allow for
any operator panels or other items mounted in the door.
3. There should also be at least 3” (78 mm) of clearance
between the unit and any wiring ducts that run parallel to
the terminals.
4. The ground terminal on the DL06 base must be connected
to a single point ground. Use copper stranded wire to achieve
a low impedance. Copper eye lugs should be crimped and
soldered to the ends of the stranded wire to ensure good
surface contact.
5. There must be a single point ground (i.e., copper bus bar) for all devices in the panel requiring
an earth ground return. The single point of ground must be connected to the panel ground
termination. The panel ground termination must be connected to earth ground. Minimum wire
sizes, color coding, and general safety practices should comply with appropriate electrical codes
and standards for your area.
