2.Control Panel Design Guidelines
The following guidelines are intended to illustrate proper installation of the OIT to
help minimize electrical noise, which may hamper normal operation. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that all wiring and other components
used in the control system meet Class I, Division 2 requirements. This
installation manual is intended only as a general guideto be used in conjunction
with the appropriate Class I, Division 2 installation and wiring requirements.
The customer is ultimately responsible for proper installation.
Pay careful attention to the placement of system components and associated cable
routing. These items can significantly enhance the performance and integrity o
your control application.
1010-0104, REV 04
Figure 9 Photocopy Legend Master
Figure 1 Control Panel Example
2.1. Control Panel Grounding
•
The control panel should be connected to a good, high-integrity earth ground
both for safety considerations and shielding purposes. This must be a reliable
earth ground with a low-resistance path. The ideal earth ground would be a
copper grounding rod located close to the OIT and the control panel.
•
Hinged doors on control panels do notprovide a long term electrical connection
to the rest of the enclosure. Corrosion develops over time and prevents good
electrical contact. For this reason,a separate wire braid should be installed from
the hinged control panel to the rest of the enclosure.
1010-0104, REV 04
8OIT3185A/4185A
2.2. Power Supply Selection
The power supply used to power the OIT should have an output between +12
•
and +30 VDC, meeting Class 2 power requirements. The voltage should
measure between +12 and +30V at the OIT between Pins 1 and 2 of the power
connector. A 24 VDC, 1.2 amp linear power supply dedicated to the OIT is
recommended.
The powercable for the OIT should be 18AWG 2-conductor stranded wire with
•
a shield wire and protective shield (foil or braid). The shield of the OIT power
cable must be connected toearth ground at both endsof thecable. Please refer to
the “Connect OIT to Power” section for more information.
A power line filter installed at the AC input to the OIT power supply is highly
•
recommended as a safeguard againstconducted RFnoise, which is often present
on factory power lines. The wires connecting the output of the power linefilter
to the power supply should be kept as short as possible to minimize any
additional noisepickup. The caseof thepower linefilter should be connected to
a quiet earth ground. The power line filtershould havea current rating of atleast
three amps with common mode and differential mode attenuation.

• The power supply that provides power to the OIT should not be used to power
switching relays orsolenoids unless noise filter capsare connected to eachrelay.
2.3. OIT Cable Routing
•
Input and output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Division 2
wiring methods and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
•
Always route the OIT communicationcable and power cable awayfrom any AC
voltage or PLC/host control wires.
•
Never bundle the OIT cables together with 120 VAC power wires or with relay
wiring.
•
Try to keep at least 8 inches (20 cm) of separation between the OIT cables and
other power wiring. If voltages greater than 120 VAC are used in the system,
greater separation is required.
•
If the OITcables must comenear AC wiring,make sure theycross at 90degrees.
•
Running AC power wires ina separate grounded conduitis the preferred method
for electrical noise reduction.

3. OIT Installation
It is necessary to follow all installation procedures described in this chapter for
electrical noise immunity and CE compliance.
Your Maple Systems OIT is designed to connect easily to your PLC. External
connectors provide quick connection for power and communications wiring.
There isone serialport withan RJ-45 shielded jack. This port is used to connect
•
to the PLC and to configure the OIT.
A separate three-position terminal block is supplied to provide power to the
•
OIT.
3.1. Create Custom Slide-In Legend
Please refer to the “Custom Keypad Slide-in Legends” section for details.
3.2. Prepare Panel for OIT Mounting
The OIT3185 and OIT4185 are mounted to a control panel from the front. For a
proper NEMA 4/12 seal, you will need:
• A panel with a maximum thickness of 0.125 inches (3.2 mm).
• A panel with a minimum thickness of 16-gauge (0.059 inches; 1.5 mm) steel or
10-gauge (0.102 inches;2.6 mm) aluminum. Thinner panels may bow between
the mounting studs, requiring the use of a stiffener on the rear.
• The surface of the panel, where the panel comes into contact with the gasket,
must be free of scratches, pits, and other features that prevent the gasket from
sealing properly.
The diagram in Appendix D shows the dimensions of the panel cutout required for
proper installation. This panel cutout illustration is shown actual size and can be
photocopied to be used as a template. Check photocopy accuracy with the printed
check dimension. The panel cutout should be cleaned and deburred before the OIT
is installed.
3.3. Enclosures
Allow enough spacing within an enclosure for adequate ventilation. For some
applications, you may have to consider heat produced by other devices within a
panel. The ambient temperature around the terminal must be maintained as
specified.
4.OIT Configuration Wiring
The OIT3185 and OIT4185 mustbe configured for a particularprotocol beforeuse.
The OITware-200 or STEPware-100 software (used on a computerwith Windows
3.1 or later) is used for OIT configuration. For detailed instructions on installing
and using the software, please refer to the software documentation.
4.1. Connect OIT to PC for Configuration
To configure the OIT using Maple Systems’ configuration software, remove the
PLC/host cable from the serialport onthe OIT and connect the OIT tothe computer
