Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter offers detailed installation instructions and outlines the options for the
5012KPM(T) & 5015KPM(T). It also includes the guidelines for preparing your unit
for installation and use.
Installation Overview
Warning
For Hazardous Locations installation, review the
Hazardous Locations
Installation
section in this chapter before startup.
The rugged design of the KPM(T) monitors allows the unit 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. Class II Hazardous Locations always require a Type 12
(dust-proof) minimum enclosure rating.
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 within the enclosure 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 2-1 and Figure 2-2 in
System Cutout
Dimensions
).
•
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 fourteen #10 nuts 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, or optional 18-
30 VDC power source.
