Complete Guide to Installing and Mounting PanelView Plus 6 Terminals

### Installation and Mounting Installing and mounting PanelView Plus 6 terminals correctly is crucial for ensuring their proper operation and long-term reliability. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the steps and requirements for mounting these terminals, ranging from panel cutout dimensions to power connection setups. Whether you are installing the 400/600 terminals or the larger 700 to 1500 models, following these guidelines will help you achieve a secure and functional installation. #### Panel Cutout Dimensions and Mounting Clearances Before you begin the installation process, it is essential to ensure that the panel where the terminal will be mounted has the correct cutout dimensions and adequate mounting clearances. Here are the details: 1. **Panel Cutout Dimensions:** - For 400 and 600 terminals, the panel cutout should measure [cutout dimensions - insert dimensions here]【18:2†source】. - For 700 to 1500 terminals, the required cutout dimensions are [cutout dimensions - insert dimensions here]【18:2†source】. 2. **Mounting Clearances:** - Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the panel cutout to accommodate the mounting hardware and allow for proper ventilation. This helps prevent overheating and facilitates maintenance activities. #### Step-by-Step Mounting Instructions ##### Mounting the 400/600 Terminals 1. **Prepare the Panel:** - Verify that the panel cutout dimensions match those specified for the terminal. - Clean the area around the cutout to ensure a good seal. 2. **Install Mounting Levers:** - Insert the mounting levers into the slots on the terminal. There are typically two slots on the top and two on the bottom for 400/600 terminals【18:2†source】. 3. **Insert the Terminal:** - Carefully place the terminal into the cutout, ensuring that the gasket around the display is seated properly against the panel surface. 4. **Secure the Terminal:** - Tighten the mounting levers by hand until the gasket seal contacts the panel surface uniformly. - After ensuring a uniform seal, alternately tighten the levers to the specified torque to prevent over-tightening, which can damage the terminal or panel【18:10†source】. ##### Mounting the 700 to 1500 Terminals 1. **Prepare the Panel:** - Verify the panel cutout dimensions and clean the surrounding area. 2. **Install Mounting Clips:** - Insert the mounting clips into the slots on the terminal. Typically, these terminals come with clips for each corner (four in total)【18:10†source】. 3. **Insert the Terminal:** - Place the terminal in the panel cutout, ensuring the gasket is properly seated. 4. **Secure the Terminal:** - Tighten the mounting clip screws by hand until the gasket uniformly contacts the panel surface. - Use a torque driver to tighten the screws to the recommended torque, ensuring not to exceed the specified value to avoid damage【18:10†source】. #### Power Connection Setup Properly connecting the power supply is critical for the safe operation of PanelView Plus 6 terminals. Follow these guidelines for DC and AC power connections: ##### DC Power Connection 1. **External Power Supply:** - Use a power supply that matches the voltage and current requirements specified for the terminal【18:2†source】. 2. **Earth/Ground Connection:** - Connect the earth/ground wire to the designated terminal to ensure proper grounding, which is vital for both safety and the reduction of electrical noise【18:2†source】. 3. **Connect DC Power:** - Attach the positive and negative leads from the power supply to the corresponding terminals on the PanelView Plus 6. - Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits【18:2†source】. ##### AC Power Connection 1. **Protective Earth and Functional Earth Connections:** - Connect the protective earth (PE) and functional earth (FE) wires to the respective terminals on the terminal unit【18:2†source】. 2. **Connect AC Power:** - Connect the live (L) and neutral (N) wires from the AC power source to the corresponding terminals on the PanelView Plus 6. - Double-check all connections to ensure they are tight and properly insulated【18:2†source】. By following these comprehensive guidelines, you can ensure a reliable and efficient installation of PanelView Plus 6 terminals, tailored to meet the specific needs of your industrial environment. Proper mounting and connection not only enhance the longevity of the terminals but also ensure the safety and efficiency of your operations.
