Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
The terminals are intended for use with programmable logic controllers. Terminals that are AC powered must also be connected to the secondary of an isolating transformer.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. The terminals meet specified NEMA Type and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with the equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

Outdoor Installation for High-bright Displays

In addition to this publication, see:
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1
NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
For more enclosure and certification information, refer to the PanelView Plus/PanelView Plus CE Outdoor High-bright Display Modules Installation Instructions, publication 2711P-IN026.
When using the high-bright display module, cat. no. 2711P-RDT12H, outdoors, considerations in maximizing the field life of the front bezel and display are:

Installation Chapter 2
Both ultraviolet and infrared radiation can reduce the field life of any electronic device. While the materials used in the terminal bezels provide long field life, that life can be extended by proper installation.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes all plastics to fade or yellow and become brittle over time. Using an antiglare overlay, cat. no. 2711P-RGT12, will protect the front of the terminal from direct exposure to UV radiation and greatly increase its field life.
When installing the high-bright display module in an environment where the front of the terminal will be in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day and the external ambient temperature can exceed 40 °C (104 °F), use the visor kit, cat. no. 2711P-RVT12. The visor reduces the solar load on the front of the display and helps to maintain internal temperatures within specification.
The high-bright display module has a built-in temperature sensor that automatically reduces the backlight intensity if the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds 55 °C (131 °F). This reduces the risk of damage to the display.
The paint color, size, and power dissipated by the internal components of an enclosure affect the temperature rise inside the cabinet. Hoffman, a Rockwell Automation Encompass Partner, has information to assist you with enclosure selection and heating/cooling accessories to meet the temperature requirements of the installed equipment. See website http://www.hoffmanonline.com
.
Stirring fans or active cooling may be required in high altitude and high ambient temperature locations to keep the internal enclosure temperature below 55 °C (131 °F). Use a heater in installations where the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F).
The backlight of the high-bright display generates a significant amount of heat when set to full intensity. To minimize the amount of heat generated and extend the life of the backlight, decrease the display intensity by using the screen saver with a 5…10 minute delay.
Avoid placing the terminal on the south (north in the southern hemisphere) or west side of the cabinet, if possible. This will reduce the heat rise due to solar loading during the hottest part of the day.
Mount the terminal vertically to minimize solar loading on the display. Do not mount the terminal in a sloped enclosure if it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

External Power Supply For Non-insolated DC Terminals

TIP
TIP
To identify non-isolated DC logic modules refer to the Logic
Modules (700 to 1500 only) table on page 24.
All 400 and 600 DC terminals contain non-isolated DC power supplies.
Use a single, 24V DC power supply to power each PanelView Plus device, such as cat. no. 2711P-RSACDIN. Using a separate, isolated and ungrounded source to power each terminal prevents ground loop currents from damaging the terminals.
The output on the power supply must be isolated from the input and not connected to earth/ground.
The non-isolated power supply does not provide galvanic isolation. A Class 2 or Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) isolated power supply with a 24V DC nominal output voltage is required to power the terminal.
ATTENTION
Use a Class 2 or SELV supply as required by local wiring codes for your installation. The Class 2 and SELV power sources provide protection so that under normal and single-fault conditions, the voltage between the conductors, and between the conductors and functional earth or protective earth does not exceed a safe value.

Adjust display intensity
Configure the screen saver
Enable or disable the screen cursor

View the Display Temperature

To view the current temperature of the display, select Terminal Settings>Display>Display Temperature.
The PanelView Plus 600 to 1500 terminals have a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight. This backlight requires temperature control when the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C (50 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). The terminal monitors low and high temperature conditions.
If the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C (50 °F),
the backlight is set to overdrive or the full-rated current setting for at least five minutes.
If the internal temperature is at or above 60 °C (50 °F), the
backlight is set to underdrive; 40% or less of full brightness. This reduces heat generation from the backlight.
Temperature monitoring begins when the terminal powers on, or when the backlight turns on, for example, exiting Screen Saver mode. The temperature control only affects display intensity; it does not restrict the use or operation of the terminal.
When a low or high temperature condition is detected, an error is sent to the system event log. If the temperature control is not functioning, a noncritical error is sent to the system event log but the terminal continues to operate normally.
TIP
