Maple Systems HMI5000L User Manual

HMI5000L Series

Installation Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Maple Systems HMI5000L Series graphic
industrial operator interface terminal. The HMI5000L Series
touchscreens are configured using the EZwarePlus software (purchased
separately) and include the following models: HMI5043L, HMI5070L,
HMI5070NL, HMI5100L, HMI5121XL, and HMI5150XL. This booklet
describes the steps necessary for installing the HMI5000L Series
touchscreens.

For information on programming and configuring the HMI, please refer
to the EZwarePlus Programming Manual available on the EZwarePlus
software CD. For additional information, please refer to the Support
Center section on our website, www.maplesystems.com. The Support
Center provides links to manuals, FAQs, technical notes, training videos,
sample projects, controller information sheets, and controller cables.

Static Awareness

Do NOT remove the rear cover of your HMI5000L Series product –
doing so will void your warranty. When the rear cover is removed the
circuitry inside is exposed to possible damage by electrostatic discharge
during handling. Minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge by:

 Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to

handling the HMI.

 Handling the HMI at a static-free grounded workstation.
 Connecting the frame ground ( ) connector of the HMI to a

clean earth ground.

 Placing the HMI in an antistatic bag during transport.

Unpacking the Unit

Carefully unpack the HMI. Please read any instructions or cautions that
appear on the shipping container. Check all material in the container
against the packing list. Maple Systems, Inc. will not accept
responsibility for shortages against the packing list unless notified within
30 days. The equipment and accessories were inspected and tested by
Maple Systems before shipment; all of the equipment should be in good
working order. Examine the equipment carefully; if any shipping damage
is evident, notify the carrier immediately. You are responsible for claim
negotiations with the carrier. Save the shipping container and packing
material in case the equipment needs to be stored, returned to Maple
Systems, or transported for any reason.

Installation of HMIs

CE Compliance

The HMI5000L Series Graphic HMIs have been tested to conform to
European CE requirements, which meet or exceed the noise emissions
and immunity requirements as set forth in the EN55022 (Emissions) and
EN55024 (Immunity) standards. The products are designed to withstand
electrical noise in harsh industrial environments. They also conform to
requirements that limit electrical emissions. However, this does not
guarantee that the products will be totally immune from possible
malfunction in cases where severe electrical noise occurs. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines outlined in this guide
for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of
your graphic HMI.

NEMA Rating

The HMI5000L Series is rated for NEMA 4 (indoor) or IP65/IP66
installations. This means that when the HMI is properly mounted to a
NEMA 4 panel or other NEMA 4 rated enclosure, the front enclosure of
the HMI will provide protection to the inside of the panel from splashing
water, wind-blown dust, rain, or hose-directed water. The HMI must be
installed according to the instructions in this manual to be properly
sealed.

Environmental Considerations

The HMI5000L Series is designed to operate in temperatures from 0° to
50°C (32° to 122°F). It is intended for indoor installations and may not
be suitable for use in certain outdoor applications. Avoid installing the
HMI5000L Series touchscreens in environments with severe mechanical

vibration or shocks. Do not install the HMI in enclosures with rapid
temperature variations or high humidity. Either case will cause
condensation of water inside the device and eventual damage to the HMI.

Safety Precautions

Please observe the following precautions when installing the HMI.
Failure to comply with these restrictions could result in loss of life,
serious personal injury, or equipment damage.

Warning: Do not operate the HMI in areas subject to explosion due to

flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.

Warning: Do not connect the HMI to an AC power source. You will

cause permanent damage to the HMI.

Warning: Do not attempt to use a DC power supply that does not meet

HMI power requirements. You may cause malfunction or permanent
damage to the HMI.

Warning: Do not power the HMI with a DC power supply used for

inductive loads or for input circuitry to the programmable logic
controller. Severe voltage spikes caused by these devices may damage
the HMI.

Control Panel Design Guidelines

Pay careful attention to the placement of system components and
associated cable routing. These items can significantly enhance the
performance and integrity of your control application.

Control Panel Grounding

The control panel must be connected to a good, high-integrity earth
ground both for safety considerations and shielding purposes. Maple
Systems cannot overemphasize the importance of good grounding. If you
fail to use good grounding procedures during installation, sporadic
malfunction of the HMI may occur.

Connect the HMIs chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground
with a low-resistance path.

Route all earth ground wires that lead from the HMI, the PLC, the power
supply, and the line filter to a central earth ground point such as a barrier
