Chapter 2 — Installation
Installation Overview
The rugged design of the 4117T unit allows it to be installed in most industrial
environments. The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to
protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture. Metal enclosures also help
minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can generate.
Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all the
safety requirements.
1. Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the
system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix A).
To assure a NEMA 4 seal choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-
gauge (0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum)
front face.
Be sure to account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the
enclosure.
2. Create a cutout in the enclosure (see
Figure 2-2
).
Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level
Make sure the area around the cutout is clean and free from metal burrs
3. Mount the unit in an upright position and properly secure the unit into the panel.
Tighten the twelve panel mounting clamps to 25 inch-pounds (2.8
Newton-meters / 28Kgf cm).
4. Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the
other end to a properly grounded 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.
5. Turn on power to the system. The system will boot up the installed operating
system.
6. Install the application software via a CD-ROM, or the network.
Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your 4117T unit:
•
•
•
•
Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior
lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience
•
•
•
•
Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air
conditioner
•
•
•
•
To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow
