FX70 Supervisory Controller Installation Instructions

Battery Precautions
Mounting
Mount the controller in a location that allows clearance
for wiring, servicing, and module removal.
Note:
This product is intended for indoor use only.
The unit should not be exposed to ambient conditions
outside of the range of 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C), or
relative humidity outside the range of 10 to 90% at
77°F (25°C), noncondensing.
Note:
Avoid mounting the controller in a manner that
would make it difficult to operate the disconnect device.
Note:
Before mounting the controller, install any
option card(s).
Environmental Requirements
Note the following requirements for the controller
mounting location:
•
If mounting inside an enclosure, that enclosure
should be designed to keep the unit within its
required operating range considering a 20-watt
dissipation by the controller, plus dissipation from
any other devices installed in the same enclosure.
Maintaining the proper operating ambient
conditions is especially important if the controller is
mounted inside an enclosure with other heat
producing equipment.
Do not mount the unit:
•
in an area with excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, or explosive vapors.
•
where vibration or shock is likely to occur.
•
in a location subject to electrical noise. This
includes the proximity of large electrical
contractors, electrical machinery, welding
equipment, spark igniters, and variable frequency
drives.
Physical Mounting
The following information applies when you physically
mount the unit.
•
You can mount the controller in any orientation. It is
not necessary to remove the cover before
mounting.
•
Mounting on a 35 mm (1.37 in.) wide DIN rail is
recommended. The FX70 unit base has a molded
DIN rail slot and locking clip, as does the
LP-FXPM263-0 power supply module and any
Input/Output (I/O) expansion modules. Mounting
on a DIN rail ensures accurate alignment of
connectors between all modules.
•
If DIN rail mounting is impractical, you can use
screws in mounting tabs on the LP-FXPM263-0
module and the FX70, as well as any
end-connected accessory. See
.
DIN Rail Mounting Instructions
Figure 2 and the following procedure provides
step-by-step DIN rail mounting instructions for the
controller.
Note:
Mount the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply first,
then the controller, then any directly attached I/O
expansion module.
To mount on DIN rail:
1.
Securely install the DIN rail with at least two
screws, near the two rail ends.
2.
Position the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply module
on the rail, tilting to hook DIN rail tabs over one
edge of the DIN rail (Figure 2).
3.
Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic locking
clip, and push down and in on the module, to force
the locking clip to snap over the other edge of the
DIN rail.
4.
Mount the controller onto the DIN rail in the same
way, such that its left 6-position end connector
faces the LP-FXPM263-0 power supply.
5.
Slide the two devices together along the DIN rail to
connect their 6-position connectors.
6.
If installing any I/O expansion modules, repeat this
for each one, until all are mounted on the DIN rail
and firmly connected into one assembly.
7.
To keep the final assembly together, secure at both
ends with DIN rail end-clips provided by the DIN
rail vendor. This procedure also prevents the
assembly from sliding on the DIN rail. See
Figure 2.
IMPORTANT:
The Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH)
battery used in this device may present a risk of fire
or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble,
heat above 122°F (50°C), or incinerate. Replace
battery pack with type LP-KITFX7BAT-0 only. Use of
another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
IMPORTANT:
Dispose of used battery promptly.
Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and
do not dispose of in fire.
IMPORTANT:
Replace external backup battery
with Listed Power Source Battery Only.
