of electrostatic discharge by:
Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to handling the computer
Handling the computer at a static-free grounded workstation
Connecting the frame ground ( ) connector of the computer to a clean earth ground
Placing the computer in an anti-static bag during transport
CE Compliance
The PC100 Series Panel PCs have been tested to conform to European CE requirements per Council Directive
89/336/EEC. The European Union created these requirements to ensure conformity among products traded in those
countries. Specifically, the PC100 Series Panel PCs meet or exceed the noise emissions and immunity requirements
as set forth in the EN50081 (Emissions) and EN50082 (Immunity) standards. These 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 chapter for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of the PC100 Series
Panel PC.
NEMA Rating
The PC100 Series Panel PCs are rated for NEMA 4 (indoor). This means that when the Panel PC is properly
mounted to a panel or other enclosure, the front enclosure of the Panel PC will provide protection to the inside of
the panel from splashing water, windblown dust, or hose-directed water. The Panel PC must be installed according
to the instructions in this chapter to be properly sealed.

Keep this manual for later reference.
For pluggable equipment, the power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
Put this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall could
cause damage.
All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted
Control Panel Grounding
The control panel should 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 computer may occur:
Connect the Panel PC's chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground with a low-resistance path.
Route all earth ground wires that lead from the Panel PC, the PLC, the power supply, and the line filter to a
central earth ground point such as a barrier strip. This will ensure that no ground current from one device
influences the operation of the other devices.
Connect the Panel PC chassis ground terminal to the control panel door using a heavy-gauge short braided
cable or ground wire to minimize resistance.
Connect the power cable’s shield wire to the Panel PC’s chassis ground terminal.
Connect the control panel to earth ground using a copper grounding rod close to the Panel PC and control
Hinged doors on control panels do not provide a long-term electrical connection to the rest of the enclosure.
Corrosion develops over time and prevents good electrical contract. For this reason, a separate wire braid should be
installed from the hinged control panel to the rest of the enclosure.
For a more in-depth overview of ground wiring techniques, refer to technical note #1027, “OIT Ground Wiring and
Electrical Noise Reduction,” which you can find in the Support Center under Technical Notes on our website.

PC100 Series Operation Manual
DC Jack
Connect Panel PC Chassis Ground to Control Panel
To reduce the possibility of electrical interference, connect the chassis ground terminal of the Panel PC to a clean
earth ground. If the control panel is metal, make sure it is properly grounded. Then connect a short heavy-gauge
wire (#18 AWG) from the chassis ground terminal of the computer to a mounting bolt on the control panel door.
The mounting bolt must have good electrical contact to the control panel; scrape away any paint that may be
covering the panel to provide a good connection.
If the control panel is made of a non-conductive material, it is essential that you connect the chassis ground terminal
of the Panel PC to a clean earth ground point located close to the panel.
Power Supply Selection
The power supply used to power the Panel PC has the following requirements:
80 Watt DC 24V power supply adapter
The power cable for the Panel PC should be 18AWG, 2-conductor wire with a shield drain wire and protective
shield (foil or braid). The shield drain wire must be connected to earth ground at both ends of the cable. Please refer
to the “Connect the Panel PC to Power” section for more information.
A power line filter installed at the AC input to the Panel PC power supply is highly recommended as a safeguard
against conducted RF noise, which is often present on factory power lines. The wires connecting the output of the
power line filter to the power supply should be kept as short as possible to minimize any additional noise pickup.
The case of the power line filter should be connected to a quiet earth ground. The power line filter should have a
current rating of at least 3 Amps with common mode and differential mode attenuation.
Do not use the power supply used to provide power to the computer to power switching relays, solenoids, or other
active devices.
Cable Routing and Noise Immunity
Follow these guidelines when routing cable to the Panel PC:
Always route the computer communication cable and the power cable away from any AC voltage or rapidly
switching DC control lines.
Never bundle the computer cables together with 120VAC power wires or with relay wiring.
Try to keep at least 8 inches (20 cm) of separation between the Panel PC cables and other power wiring. If
voltages greater than 120VAC are used in the system, greater separation is required.
If the Panel PC cables must come near AC wiring, make sure they cross at 90 degrees.
Run AC power wires in a separate grounded conduit to reduce electrical noise interference.
Keep the cable lengths for the computer as short as possible. Do not coil excess cable and place it next to
AC powered equipment.
Cover any equipment used in the enclosure that operates at high frequency or high current levels with a
grounded metal shield.

blemishes to seal properly to NEMA 4.
Clean and deburr the panel cutout before the touchscreen computer is installed.
DC Jack
Installation
It is necessary to follow all installation procedures described in this chapter for electrical noise immunity and CE
compliance.
Your Maple Systems Panel PC is designed to connect easily to your PLC. External rear connectors provide quick
connections for power, communications and programming wiring.
There are two serial port connections on the rear of the touchscreen computer. COM1 is fixed for RS-232, while
COM2 is selectable for RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.
Connect the Panel PC to Power
The PC110C has a DC jack for connection of a DC power adapter.
Panel Preparation
A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15 gauge (0.059 inch/3.3 mm) if cold-rolled steel
or hardened steel, or 10 gauge (0.101 inch/2.6 mm) if aluminum alloy (6061-T6 preferred) is required. Thinner
panels or surfaces may bow between the mounting clamps and not form a seal with the gasket.
The area of the panel or mounting surface where the gasket comes into contact must be flat and free of scratches,
pits, and other features that prevent the gasket from sealing properly. If the panel or mounting surface is not
uniform, thick, flat, stiff, or smooth enough, then a sealant such as silicone may be required.
Mount the Panel PC to the Panel
The PC100 Series Panel PC can be mounted flush to the panel.
