4 INSTALLATION
Installing the EZTouch Panel requires the following three major steps:
The EZTouch Panel is a front-panel mount unit. Mounting of the unit requires
a panel cutout, and drilling six, eight, or ten holes (depending on the model) for
the mounting screws. You may also mount the 6-inch units using the optional
DIN clips. Some 6-inch units (Slim Bezel models) can
only
be mounted using
DIN clips. The 8-, 10- and 15-inch Slim Bezel Models are
Stud Mount ONLY.
Please see the
Mounting
section beginning on page 16 for mounting diagrams
and instructions.
Now that your EZTouch Panel is mounted, you are ready to connect your unit
to the power source, PLC, and programming computer or printer. The EZTouch
Panel’s PLC Port and COM1 Port support RS-232C, RS-422A and RS-485A
connections. Note that the EZTouch Panel is a DC powered unit (24 VDC).
See the section on
Connections and Wiring
, beginning on page 29 for further
information. See the section on Option Card Installation, beginning on page
32 if you have an option card installed in your EZTouch Panel.
The EZTouch Panel has some adjustable features and panel tests, such as,
Contrast, Clock, and Touchpad Test. You will also select whether the COM1
port will be used to connect to a Programming PC or a printer. The unit is
shipped with factory default values for some of these features, but they can be
adjusted by the user. To change any value, enter the SETUP MODE on powerup
and follow the procedures provided in the
Communications Setup
section be-
ginning on page 41.
CAUTION: DO NOT use any thread locking compounds to secure
the studs to Plastic Bezel Models. Many of these compounds will
degrade the plastic housing.
