Safety Precautions
1SafetyPrecautions
Both the installer andthe owner and/or operator of the operatorpanel must read
and understand thisinstallation manual.
1.1 General
• Read the safety precautionscarefully.
• Check the delivery for transportation damage. If damage is found, notif y the
supplier as soon as possible.
• Do not use the operator panel in an environment with high explosive hazards.
• The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered or reconstructed

• Use only parts and accessories manufactured accordingto specifications of
the supplier.
• Read the installationand operating instructions carefully before installing,
using or repairingthe operator panel.
• Neverallowfluids,metalfilingsorwiringdebristoenteranyopeningsinthe
operator panel. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Only qualified personnel may operate the operator panel.
• Storing theoperator panel wherethe temperature is lower/higher than
recommended in this manualcan cause the LCD display liquid to
congeal/become isotopic.
• The LCD display liquid contains a powerful irritant. In caseof skin contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of eyecontact, hold the eye
open,flushwithplentyofwaterandgetmedicalattention.
• Thefiguresinthismanualservesanillustrativepurpose. Becauseofthemany
variables associated with anyparticular installation, the suppliercannot
assume responsibility for actual use based onthe figures.
• The supplier neither guarantees thatthe operator panel is suitable for your
particular application, nor assumes responsibility for your productdesign,
installation or operation.
1.2 DuringInstallation

– no large, sudden temperature changes
• Install the product according to the accompanying installation instructions.
• Ground theproduct according to the accompanying installation instructions.
• Only qualified personnel may install the operator panel.
• Separate the high voltage,signal and supply cables.
• Make surethat the voltage and polarity of thepower source is correct before
connecting the product to the power outlet.
• Peripheralequipment must be appropriate for theapplication and location.

Hardware Tests
6 HardwareTests
Before the operator panels are approved for market introduction, theyare tested
by independent authorities. The iX Panelsare examined by several authorities
before being approvedfor market introduction. A ll operator panels are designed
to fulfill standards such as CE. The quality policy and environmental policy place
demands on all suppliersand subcontractors.
The manufacturer performs extensive hardware testing before an operator panel
is approved. Some tests are performed byexternal testing companies, such as
the SwedishNational Testing and Research Institute. All operator p anels are
submitted to testingbefore leaving the manufacturer.

The self testprogram can be used to test aspectsof operator panel functionality
and thecommunication ports. To run the testyou will need:
• Test plugs, including two Ethernet test plugs; see Te st pl u g d ra wi ng .
• 24 V DC, min. 3 A.
• SD card
Followthe steps below to run the self test program on the operator panel:
1.
Poweroff the operator panel.
2.
Go to the self test. Set the mode switches tothe self test positions, s ee the table
in the Mode Switches section.
3.
Power on the operator paneland follow the instructions at the bottom of the
display.
4.
When using thetest plugs, make sure the +5V DC LED on the RS422 test
plug and theLED of the RS232 test plug areon.
5.
When the selftest is finished, power off theoperator panel and set all mode
switches tothe OFF position.
If an error occurs during the self test, try to fault trace. See Fault Traci

In some industrialunits for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the

The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly
connected to the chassis, see 2 in

1.
Check whether the other Ethernetunit has its shield directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
Inmanycases,connecting theshieldedEthernetcablingtothechassisatbothendsis
inappropriate. Humo r groundingloopscanoccur. Unshieldedcablingmayevenresult
infewercommunicationerrors.
A good solution may beto use a shielded Ethernet cable, but toconnect the shield
at one end only.
One option is to break the shield, see 3 in drawing above.
A more elegantmethod is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling witha piece of
unshielded Ethernetcable, see 4 in drawing above.
You can ground the shield via an external 0.1uF/250 V plastic capacitor,see 5 in
drawing above. This will connect theHF transients to the ground.

Additional InstallationTips
10.3 ToAchieveBetterEMCProtection
• Initially,use the original cabling from BeijerElectronics primarily.
• Use shielded cables for RS232 communication.
• Use twisted pair andshielded cabling for RS422 and RS485.
• Use the cabling intended for the bus ty pe; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link,
CAN, Device Netetc.
• Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus
standard.
• Use shielded cabling forEthernet, preferably with foil+ braided shield.
• D-sub covers should be shielded, andthe shield should be connected to the
cover 360° where the cable comes in.
• Connect the shield at both ends.

5352
With longer distances, there is a risk that the ground potential may be d ifferent.
In that case,the shield should only be connected at one e nd. A good alternative
is to connect the other end of the shield to the ground via a 0.1 uF/250V plastic
capacitor. Both endsare then connected to the ground in terms of HF, but only
connected to the ground at one end in terms ofLF, thus avoiding the 50 Hz
grounding loops.

1.
Usean EMC cable gland or regular plastic cable gland,remove the outer jacket

and connect theshield to the installation plate with a 360 ° metal cable clamp.
2.
Place the 24V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct
and 230/380 V AC in another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at
90 ° only. Avoidcombining the cabling for stronger 24 V DCoutputs with
the communication cabling.
Ferritecores that are snappedonto the shielded cabling mayremove minor
disturbances. Large ferrite pieces that aresnapped onto unshielded cablingand
where the wiresgo 2-4 times around the coresare approximately 5-25 times more
efficient.

Some (older) operator panel s had pull-up and pull-down resistance except for

Newer panelshave another type of recipient, so-called built-in “Fail Safe”,where
simple bus termination resistance is sufficient. See 2 in drawing above.
If other nodes onthe RS485 network require pull-up andpull-down and the
operator panel is at one end of the loop, one of thefollowing procedures can be
carried out:
• Connect two 1k/0.25 W resistorsin the 25-pole D-sub contact. See 3 in

• Use CAB8. It offers the option of bus termination with pull-up/-down. It

13.2.1 MechanicalComponents
The aluminum and stainlesssteel used in the mechanical components are judged
to be non-environmentally hazardous. The expanded rubber packing for thefront

not classified as environmentally hazardous.

Environmental Aspects
13.3 Recycling
The operator panelsconsist largely of aluminum. It is a greatadvantage in terms of
both resources and the environment if it can be recycled. Make sure that operator
panels taken out ofservice are sent tofacilities for electronic scrap.
The manufacturer’s electronic waste is recycled by Stena Technoworld AB.
Aluminum front/rearcasings and othercovers can be removed and recycled.
Plastic display frames and CF covers must be recycledas hard plastic. The circuit
board containsmany valuable metals and should thereforebe recycled.
Remove the lithium battery. Electrolytic capacitors and displays are currently not
classified as hazardouswaste, but may be harmful tohealth and the environment.
The electrolytic capacitors should behandled as per Handbook 2001:7 (NFS)
and displays asper NFS 2001:8.
Thefluorescenttubemustbehandledashazardouswaste.
The packagingis made from wood fiberand shouldberecycled. Thelargeprinted
label on the front,however, must first be removed as it ismade of PVC vinyl. The
label and theplastic bag for the brackets are recycled as softplastic.
The manufacturer is a member of the REPAregister. The protective film on the
front is recycledas soft plastic. When the operator panel is no longer useful it
can be returnedto the manufacturer for environmentally responsible recycling.
Contact the company for further information.
13.4 EnvironmentalImpactReport
An operator panel impacts the environment through itsfunction, i.e., controlling
industrial equipment. The energy and the scrapped parts that canbe saved with
efficient management meanthat the operator panel contributes to reduced
environmental impact.
Listed below are examples of how you canreduce environmental impact during
operator panel use.
• Switch the system off when not in use.
