1.2 Safety Notes

Caution

!

Notes on installation

Please observe the safety notes on the back of the cover of this manual.
Expansions to the Panel PC should only be carried out after having read Chapter
4 and the relevant safety notes.

This device complies with the safety requirements in accordance with IEC, VDE,
EN, UL and CSA. If you have doubts about the approval of the installation in the
intended location, please contact the service representative responsible for your
area.

If the device is brought to its operating location from a cold environment,
condensation may occur. Before starting up, the device must be dry and, therefore,
an acclimatization period of at least 12 hours is necessary.

Release 04/02

Before installing and operating the device, please note the information on ambient
conditions in the Appendix Technical Data and and on installing the device in
Chapter 2.2. The device must be installed in such a way that it presents no danger
of any kind (for example, by tipping over).

Ensure that the air vents are not obstructed and sufficient cooling air can be drawn
in inside the device.

Warning

!

When assembling the systems, it is essential to maintain the permissible
installation positions and angles (refer to Chapter 2.2).

If systems are installed at a non-approved installation location, the approvals to
UL 1950, UL 508 and EN60950 are no longer valid!

Mains supply

When connecting the device, observe the relevant information provided in
Chapter 2.

Never connect or disconnect power cables or data transmission lines during a
thunderstorm.

In an emergency situation (for instance, damage to the housing, controls or power
cable, penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), pull the power plug and contact the
authorized service department.

When plugging in/out periphery connections (e.g. keyboard, mouse, printer), the
SIMATIC Panel PC must have been switched off (not in the case of PC card and
USB devices). Failure to do so can result in damage to the computing unit.

Notes for devices with AC power supply

The device is intended for connection to grounded power supply systems
(TN networks to VDE 0100, Part 300, or IEC 364-3).

Product Overview

No provision is made for connection to non-grounded or impedance-grounded
power supply systems (IT networks).

The power cable should comply with the safety guidelines of the country
concerned.

Check to make sure that the rated voltage for the device corresponds to that
supplied by the local power supply.

This device is equipped with a safety-tested power supply cable and may be
connected only to a socket outlet with grounding contact.

Make sure that the socket outlet on the device or the socket outlet with grounding
contact of the building wiring system is freely accessible and located as near to the
device as possible.

To completely disconnect the PC from the mains power supply, you must pull the
plug. This connection must be easily accessible. If the PC is to be installed in a
cabinet, a central disconnector must be provided.

Note for devices with DC power supply

Devices with a DC power supply are considered open operating resources (right
side of device); therefore, the assembly design must fulfill the fire protection
housing requirements.

Warning

!

Panel PC 670 Computing Unit, Equipment Manual

The device may only be connected to 24 V DC power supply networks which fulfill
the requirements of a safe electrical low voltage (SELV).

The cable cross-section must be large enough so that, should a short circuit occur
in the computing unit no damage is caused by the cable.

2.2 Installing the Computing Unit

The unit delivered is particularly suited for installation in consoles, cabinets and

panels.
The computing units with AC power supply meet the requirements of the fire

protection housing complying with EN60950. It can therefore be installed without
an additional fire enclosure;

The computing units with a DC power supply are considered open operating
resources (right side of device); therefore, the assembly design must fulfill the fire
protection housing requirements.

Please observe the following points when installing your device:
S Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect the device from

dust, moisture and heat.

S Do not expose your device to direct sunlight.
S The device must be installed in such a way that it presents no danger of any

kind (for example, by tipping over).

Starting Up the Computing Unit

S The clearance around the device must be at least 100 mm to make sure it is

sufficiently ventilated.

S Never cover the ventilation slots.
S Observe the installation locations allowed when you install your device.
