FIRE HAZARD: The Touch 1500 must not be used in
hazardous locations. Electrical components within the unit
could ignite flammable gases. Do not install the unit where it
may be exposed to flammable gases.
The TOUCH 1500 is an electronic unit. During installation, take
the following precautions to avoid damage to its electronic
components.
• Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
• Keep electronics dry.
• Avoid exposure to static electricity.
• Avoid contamination with metal filings, liquids, or other
foreign matter.
• Use agency-approved conduit bushings, adapters, and cable
glands to keep the enclosure protected from dust and fluids.

Provide Suitable Panel Enclosure, and Determine Locations for TOUCH 1500 Assembly in Panel X
1. Provide suitable panel enclosure
To protect its electronic components, the TOUCH 1500
must be mounted in a non-hazardous location panel with
a minimum IP32 (NEMA 1) enclosure. An IP52 (NEMA 12)
or better enclosure is recommended. The TOUCH 1500
assembly comes with a sealing gasket and hardware to
mount the enclosure.
Note: The RAYCHEM TOUCH 1500 is designed for
operation in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 50°C (32°F
to 122°F). If the ambient temperature is outside this range,
a space heater with screen window kit and/or cooling fan
will be required in the panel.

2. Determine locations for the TOUCH 1500 assembly in the
electrical panel
The TOUCH 1500 should be located on the front of the
panel near eye level (for convenient viewing). The TOUCH
1500 assembly is an electronic unit and must not be
located where it will be exposed to strong magnetic fields
or excessive vibration.

Cut Opening and Mount TOUCH 1500 on Front of Panel
1. Locate the TOUCH 1500 on front of panel
Locate the TOUCH 1500 assembly on the front of the panel
at a level convenient for viewing. Make sure the cover on
the back of the assembly will not interfere with existing
panel hardware.

Cutting
Area
Note: Cutting the opening for the display is a craft sensitive procedure; if it is not done correctly, the panel door
can be damaged. The procedure for laying out and cutting
the opening for the display must be undertaken with
care, and by personnel qualied and experienced in panel
construction.
2. Prepare and mark the position of the display opening and
mounting holes
• Use the cut-out directions to lay out the opening for the
TOUCH 1500 display.
• Apply two layers of masking tape around the outer perimeter of the intended opening to prevent scratching the
panel surface with the jigsaw.
3. Cut the display opening
Cut the opening for the TOUCH 1500 with a jigsaw using
a 24 TPI blade. Take care not to damage the panel door.
Remove all rough edges and burrs with a metal file before
proceeding.
Note: The following steps are most easily accomplished if
the panel door is on a horizontal surface.
4. Mount the user interface assembly onto the panel door
• Place the TOUCH 1500 assembly in position. Secure the
screen to the enclosure with the 10 mounting clips.

• Look at the front of the panel, and align the TOUCH 1500
assembly so it is level (loosen clips if necessary to reposition the assembly).
• After the display is properly positioned, tighten the mounting
clips. Do not overtighten and risk damage to hardware.

Communication
The TOUCH 1500 has two isolated RS-485 ports located at the
bottom.
Field Side Port (RS-485)
The RS-485 port labeled “Com 3” is the eld side port that
is used to communicate with ModBus devices (ie. NGC-40BRIDGE and NGC-20).
*Remote Port (RS-485) – Optional
The RS-485 port labeled “Com 4” is the Remote side port
that is used to communicate with to a host computer DTS
(using RAYCHEM Supervisory Software) or to a DCS.
*Local Host Port (RS-232) – Optional
The RS-232 port can be used as local Host port that is used
to communicate with to a host computer (using RAYCHEM
Supervisory Software).
