Revision A
Choose a mounting surface with the least amount of vibration and not more than 0.125
” (3.175 mm) thick.
The following steps outline the mounting procedure:
1. Choose a suitable mounting location based on the criteria above.
2. Create a rectangular cut-out in the panel that is a minimum 3.9
” (99 mm) high and 6.2” (158 mm) wide.
3. Place the controller into the panel cut-out so that the LCD screen and buttons are facing out.
4. Place the mounting clips into the designated slots on the top and bottom of the controller.
5. Tighten the screws on the clips until the controller is snug against the panel. Do not over-tighten. The
bottom of the screws should angle very slightly away from the controller.
6. If applicable, snap the RelayPak (RP100) to the back of the controller. Place one side of the RP100
’s
tabs into the slot on the back of the controller and, without pushing on the relays, snap the other tab into
place.
The following figures show the TE Series cut-out dimensions and an image of the controller.
2.1 General Wiring Notes
The following important wiring guidelines should be followed:
•
Use a minimum of 18 AWG wire for all connections
•
Battery Positive (+Battery) and Battery Negative connections on the controller should be run directly to
the positive and negative terminals on the battery to prevent voltage drops from negatively impacting the
controller
•
Limit the wire length to 20 ft (6.1 m) to any I/O on the controller (e.g., Switched Input, Switched Outputs,
AC Sensing and Analog Inputs)
The TOUGH Series contains a TVS to protect the I/O and internals from a transient on the main battery (the
battery from which the controller is powered). If you have I/O connected to other batteries or power supplies,
those I/O must contain their own voltage transient protection. Otherwise, the I/O and/or controller can be
damaged if the transient exceeds the maximum rated voltage of the I/O. A device that provides this kind of
protection is known as a TVS or a varistor.
