Pre-Installation Considerations

Introduction

Pre-Installation Considerations

Introduction

Installation of the controller consists of mounting and wiring the controller according to the guidelines given in this section. The controller is industrial control equipment that must be panel mounted within an enclosure. The wiring terminals must be enclosed within the enclosure.

Read the pre-installation information, check the model number interpretation [Controller model number (page 21)], and become familiar with your model selections, then proceed with installation.

While the UMC800 has been designed for use in most industrial environments, there are certain requirements that should be considered regarding installation and wiring to ensure optimum performance. Many of the problems associated with electronic control equipment can be traced to the primary ac power system. Disturbance, such as electrical noise, power interruptions, and lightning, must be factored into the planning of the primary power system so the control equipment will perform satisfactorily and continuously.

In addition to the precaution of the separation of signal and power wiring in separate conduits, this section suggests some other measures that can be taken to minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), voltage surges and static electricity.

Operating limits

We recommend that you review and adhere to the operating limits listed in Table 3 when you install the controller.
