3.7.4 Orientation
When panel-mounted, there are no orientation restrictions on the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS.
3.7.5 Noise
Consider the impact on the panel layout design and clearance requirements if noise
suppression devices are needed. Be sure to maintain an adequate distance between the
XL4/XL4 Prime OCS and noisy devices such as relays, motor starters, etc.
For details on output protection, especially when using contactors, solenoids, etc. see
MAN0962.
3.7.6 Shock and Vibration
The XL4/XL4 Prime OCS has been designed to operate in typical industrial environments that
may inflict some shock and vibration on the unit. For applications that may inflict excessive
shock and vibration, please use proper dampening techniques or relocate the XL4/XL4 Prime
OCS to a location that minimizes shock and/or vibration.
3.7.7 Panel Layout Design and Clearance Checklist
The following list provides highlights of panel layout design factors
:
____Meets the electrical code and applicable standards for proper grounding, etc.?
____Meets the panel manufacturer’s requirements for grounding, etc.?
____Is the panel box properly connected to earth ground? Is the panel door properly grounded?
Has the appropriate procedure been followed to properly ground the devices in the panel
box and on the panel door?
____Are minimum clearance requirements met? Can the panel door be easily opened and
closed? Is there adequate space between device bases as well as the sides of the panel and
wiring ducts?
____Is the panel box deep enough to accommodate the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS?
____Is there adequate ventilation? Is the ambient temperature range maintained? Are cooling
or heating devices required?
____Are noise suppression devices or isolation transformers required? Is there adequate
distance between the base of the XL4/XL4 Prime OCS and noisy devices such as relays or
motor starters? Ensure that power and signal wires are not routed in the same conduit.
____Are there other requirements that impact the particular system, which need to be
considered?
