Installation
The ICS-6-SP Control Unit is designed to be attached to a 35mm ‘top-hat’ style DIN rail inside a
control cabinet. It should always be enclosed in a cabinet that requires use of a tool or key to open
to prevent tampering and risk of touching live connections. The unit should be installed such that the
length of cable needed to connect it to the user touchscreen is less than 1.5m.
Whilst the unit itself operates on 24V it is possible that higher voltages fed from other equipment
may be present on its output contacts.
The associated touch panel is fitted nearby (e.g. on a control panel) and is connected to the ICS-6-SP
Control Unit via a supplied RS-232 lead.
5.1 Positioning
The ICS-6-SP Control Unit should be mounted in a convenient position for wiring. It should be
inaccessible by operators. It has indicator lights on its top surface which would normally only need to
be observed by installation and maintenance personnel.
Provision should be made to prevent the unit from sliding along the DIN rail after fitting, for example
by the use of end clamps or other equipment.
During installation, wired connections will need to be made from the ICS-6-SP Control Unit to all the
interlocked doors, warning signs, laser interlocks, shutters and other equipment as required by the
system. Allowance should be made for wire retention such as plastic slotted trunking running
alongside both long sides of the unit.
All of the terminals are identified on the label on the top of the unit, see next page.
