CHAPTER 2
SAFETY SUMMARY
The QTERM-A12 terminal is certified to operate at Temperature Code T6 in a Class I,
Division 2, Group A, B, C and D hazardous environment. The terminal must be installed and
operated as described in this document to meet this certification.
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this manual or on
equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the
instrument or equipment connected to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the QTERM-A12 to directly command motors, valves or other actuators not
equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or equipment in the
event of a fault to the controller.
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
For Class I, Division 2 installations:
The USB ports are for operational maintenance only. Do not lea v e USB de vices permanently
connected unless the area is known to be non-hazardous.
For Class I, Division 2 installations:
Do not connect or separate any connection (power, Ethernet, USB, Com 1 or Com 2)
unless area is known to be non-hazardous.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
CAUTION: Risk of danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the terminal.

APPLYING POWER
CAUTION
For Class I, Division 2 installations:
Do not connect or disconnect cables while power is applied unless the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
Power is supplied to the QTERM-A12 terminal via the COM1 serial port connector or the
3-pin power terminal strip for input power, return and chassis ground. The QTERM-A12 may
also be equipped with an optional Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface. When powered by the
3-pin power terminal strip or the COM1 serial port, the QTERM-A12 has a 10- to 32-volt DC
input range and can be powered directly from a 12- or 24-volt DC power supply (the current
will vary depending on the input voltage; see table below).

1. Standby power consump tion is measured when the display has been pow ered down and the
operating system has entered system idle mode.
2. Typical power consumption is measured when the display is at full brightness and a polygon
drawing application is running.
3. Estimated maximum power consumption is measured with serial, USB and Ethernet communications active. In addition, several applications are running including video wit h full volume
and two USB mass storage loads are being powered.

3.1 Connecting to Earth Ground
NOTE
☞
QTERM-A12 Terminal 5
The chassis ground connection of the QTERM-A12 is electrically connected to the exposed
conductive parts of the QTERM-A12 for safety purposes. The chassis ground connection
MUST be connected to an external protective earthing system.
The QTERM-A12 has a chassis ground terminal and a chassis ground connection on the 3-pin
power terminal strip on the back of the terminal. (See Figure 6 on page 24 and Figure 15 on
page 29 for the location of the chassis ground terminal and the 3-pin power terminal strip.) The
terminal should be connected to earth ground (protective earth). The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the terminal. Maintaining isolation between earth ground and
signal common is not required to operate the terminal; however , other equipment connected to
the terminal may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain iso-
Primary Serial Port Connector for Power Input Applying Power
lation between signal common and earth ground, care must be taken when connections are
made to the terminal. For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common
and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a serial cable or a USB cable may connect
signal common and earth ground.
The serial cable shield or the USB shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. The
serial cable or the USB shield, in turn, may also be connected to signal common.
3.2 Primary Serial Port Connector for Power Input
WARNING
Although the terminal includes protection circuitry to prevent power supply contention,
power should not be connected to the 3-pin terminal strip or the RJ45 PoE interface while
power is applied to the DB9 connector.
Power can be supplied to the terminal through pin 9 and ground return through pin 5 of the
COM1 serial port connector.
3.3 Terminal Strip for Power Input
WARNING
WARNING
Although the terminal includes protection circuitry to prevent power supply contention,
power should not be connected to the DB9 connector or the RJ45 PoE interface while po wer
is applied to the 3-pin terminal strip.
QTERM-A12 power must come from an SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power source
and should have a current limit on its output of 5 Amperes. It must pro vide a minimum of 10
volts DC power and be limited to a maximum of 32 volts DC. Limiting may be inherent to
the supply or may be provided by supplementary overcurrent devices. If the QTERM-A12
does not respond or exhibits abnormal behavior on power up, disconnect power and contact
Beijer Electronics for technical support.
The 3-pin terminal strip is used to provide input voltage and ground to the terminal. The terminal strip provides a chassis ground connection. The chassis ground pin is isolated from the system ground of the terminal.
