OperatOr Interface InstallatIOn

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

This operator interface is primarily designed for
through-panel mounting. Four VESA mount tapped screw­holes (M4 x 0.7, 5 mm deep) are present on the rear of the

panels to allow for stand or wall mounting. Care should be

taken to remove any loose material from the mounting cut­out to prevent that material from falling into the operator
interface during installation. A gasket is provided to enable

sealing to NEMA 4X/IP66 specification. Install the nine
mounting clips provided and tighten to 6.0 pound-force inch
(96 ounce-force inch) evenly for uniform gasket compression.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive
parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.

Each operator panel has a chassis ground terminal on the back of the unit.

Your unit should be connected to earth ground (protective earth).

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit.
Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not required
to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit may require
isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation

between signal common and earth ground care must be taken when connections
are made to the unit. For example, a power supply with isolation between its

signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable
may connect signal common and earth ground.

USB’s shield may be connected to earth ground at the host. USB’s shield in

turn may also be connected to signal common.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The G12 requires a 24 VDC power supply. Your unit may draw considerably
less than the maximum rated power depending upon the features being used. As
additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power.
Items that could cause increases in current are modules, additional on-board
communications, SD card, and other features programmed through Crimson.

In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if
the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more

than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface.
Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should be

at least 22-gage wire suitably rated for the temperatures of the environment
to which it is being installed. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage
wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from
large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate
significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and

SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to
accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains
power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra­low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe
to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault,
such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a
single component has occurred.

I/O MODULE INSTALLATION

Modules must be installed beginning with slot 1 (left-most slot), with no
empty slots between the modules, and the order must match the modules order

CONFIGURING A G12

The G12 is configured using Crimson® software. Crimson is available as a
free download from Red Lion’s website. Updates to Crimson for new features
and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring
the G12 using the latest version of Crimson, you are assured that your unit has
the most up to date feature set. Crimson® software can configure the G12 through
the RS232 PGM port, USB port, or SD.

The USB port is connected using a standard USB cable with a Type B
connector. The driver needed to use the USB port will be installed with Crimson.

The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by Red Lion to connect
to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable,
use the “G12 Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.

The SD can be used to program a G12 by placing a configuration file and
firmware on the SD card. The card is then inserted into the target G12 and
powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the proper
names and locations of the files.

USB, DATA TRANSFERS FROM THE SD CARD

WARNING - DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT CABLES
WHILE POWER IS APPLIED UNLESS AREA IS KNOWN TO BE
NON-HAZARDOUS. USB PORT IS FOR SYSTEM SET-UP AND
DIAGNOSTICS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR PERMANENT
CONNECTION.

In order to transfer data from the SD card via the USB port, a driver must be
installed on your computer. This driver is installed with Crimson and is located
in the folder C:\Program Files\Red Lion Controls\Crimson 3.0\Device\ after
Crimson is installed. This may have already been accomplished if your G12 was
configured using the USB port.

Once the driver is installed, connect the G12 to your PC with a USB cable,
and follow “Mounting the SD” instructions in the Crimson 3 user manual.

INSERTION/REMOVAL OF THE SD CARD

Insert the SD card into the slot provided with the card oriented as shown. The
card is inserted properly when the end of the card is flush with the Graphite
case. To remove the SD card, push in slightly on the card.

BATTERY & TIME KEEPING

+

-

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - THE AREA MUST BE
KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS BEFORE SERVICING/
REPLACING THE UNIT AND BEFORE INSTALLING OR
REMOVING I/O WIRING AND BATTERY.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT
EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
AND THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. Typical
accuracy (at 25°C) of the Graphite time keeping is less than one minute per
month drift. The battery of a Graphite unit does not affect the unit’s memory, all
configurations and data is stored in non-volatile memory.

Changing the Battery

To change the battery of a Graphite, first remove power to the unit. Remove
the battery cover. Grasp the top edge of the battery and push to the left to remove
the battery from the holder. Lift the battery out and replace with a new battery.

Replace the battery cover, and re-apply power. Using Crimson or the unit’s
keypad, enter the correct time and date.

* Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a manner that
complies with your local waste regulations. The battery must not be disposed of
in fire, or in a manner whereby it may be damaged and its contents could come
into contact with human skin.

The battery used by the panel is a lithium type BR2032.
