Installation

This chapter provides information necessary to install the Annunciator Module. Correctly installing the unit will ensure proper functioning and maximum service life. Please read the entire chapter before attempting installation.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Annunciator Module should be mounted and operated in a clean, dry and safe environment. Do not mount the unit where it will be subject to shock and vibration. Do not mount the unit where it will be subject to dirt, dust or moisture. Ideally the unit would be mounted in a steel or a fiberglass NEMA-4 enclosure. Do not mount the unit or the expansion modules close to motor starters, contactors or relays that switch inductive loads. These devices generate large electromagnetic fields that can cause the Annunciator Module to malfunction. Where this is unavoidable, mount the module(s) and main unit in a separate, grounded, steel enclosure. This will shield them from harmful electrical interference.

The temperature range the Annunciator Module can operate in is 32°F to 158°F (0°C to 70°C). If you require Annunciator Module to operate in a below freezing environment, you must take safe and practical measures to keep the module’s temperature above 32°F or it will not operate reliably.

CAUTION: The Annunciator Module is a sensitive electronic device. Personnel and work area should be grounded before handling this device. Do not install a SCADA 3000 system near any strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic or radioactive fields. Do not expose it to fumes or corrosive vapors.

MOUNTING THE ANNUNCIATOR MODULE

The Annunciator Module is packaged in a standard 8 DIN enclosure. This style of enclosure is designed to be flush-mounted in a panel or door. The module includes all the hardware neces- sary for mounting; however, a small Allen wrench will be required to secure the enclosure to the panel. To mount the module, cut a hole in the panel according to the dimensions shown in Figure 1 below.
