Preparing for Installation
Once you select a location for the PA2 PowerStation, you will need to
create a cutout for the unit. The PA200V displayless model does not require
a cutout and can either mount directly to the enclosure panel or with the
supplied DIN rail mounting bracket.
If you plan to operate the PA2 PowerStation using AC power, and you
purchased Parker’s optional AC Power Supply, you will need to prepare a
location for the power supply also.
Procedures for creating the cutout and preparing a location for the AC
Power Supply are described below. If you already have an appropriate
cutout and are using DC power, continue with Installing the PA2
PowerStation on page 2-7.
Note that the PA2 PowerStation will fit into the existing cutouts created for
older PA PowerStations and they can use the existing DC power source.
Creating the Cutout
Be sure to follow the cutout dimensions shown in the table below. This
ensures that the PowerStation is properly sealed in its enclosure. Detailed
dimensional drawings can be found on the CD shipped with your unit.
1
Measure the cutout dimensions as shown in the table below and
create a template.
2
Attach the template securely to the mounting surface.
3
Cutout the center area. Ensure the flatness of the mounting surface,
when punching out the mounting hole, maintain proper surface
flatness and edge quality.
The cutout dimensions for the PA2 PowerStation are shown in the following
table:
4
Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris that
might come in contact with the unit.
5
More information is available on the CD that comes with the PA2
PowerStation. Be sure to refer to the dimensional drawings found on
the CD when creating your cutout.
