Installation of OITs
CE Compliance
The Silver Series Graphic OITs have been tested to conform to European
CE requirements which meet or exceed the noise emissions and
immunity requirements as set forth in the EN5 5022 (Emissions) and
EN55024 (Immunity) standards. The 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 guide
0600-0069-0000 Rev D
4 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of
your graphic OIT.
NEMA Rating
The Silver Series is rated for NEMA 4/12 (indoor) or IP65 installations.
This means that when the OIT is properly mounted to a NEMA 4 panel
or other NEMA 4 rated enclosure, the front enclosure of the OIT wil l
provide protection to the inside of the panel from splashing water, windblown dust, rain, or hose-directed water. The OIT must be installed
according to the instructions in this manual to be properly sealed.
Environmental Considerations
The Silver Series is designed to operate in temperatures from 0 to 45 °C
(32 to 113 °F). It is intended for indoor installations and may not be
suitable for use in certain outdoor applications. Avoid installing the
Silver Series OITs in environments with severe mechani cal vibration or
shocks. Do not install the OIT in enclosures with rapid temperature
variations or high humidity. Either will cause condensation of water
inside the device and eventual damage to the OIT.
Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when installing the OIT.
Failure to comply with these restrictions could result in loss of life,
serious personal injury, or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not operate the OIT in areas subject to explosion
due to flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.
Warning: Do not connect the OIT to an AC power source. You
will cause permanent damage to the OIT.
Warning: Do not attempt to use a DC power supply that does
not meet OIT power requirements. You may cause malfunction
or permanent damage to the OIT.
Warning: Do not power the OIT with a DC power supply used
for inductive loads or for input circuitry to the programmable
logic controller. Severe voltage spikes caused by these devices
may damage the OIT.

Control Panel Design Guidelines
Pay careful attention to the placement of system components and
associated cable routing. These items can significantly enhance the
performance and integrity of your control application.
Figure 1: Typical Panel Layout
Control Panel Grounding
The control panel must 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 OIT may occur:
- Connect the OITs chassis ground terminal to a r eliable earth
ground with a low-resistance path.
- Route all earth ground wires that lead from the OIT, 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 OIT chassis ground terminal to the control panel
door using a heavy-gauge short braided cable or ground wire to
minimize resistance.
- Conn ect the power cable’s shield wire to the OIT’s chassis
ground terminal.
0600-0069-0000 Rev D
6 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
- Connect the control panel to earth ground using a copper
grounding rod close to the OIT and control panel.
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 contact. For this reason, a separate wire braid
should be installed from the hinged control panel to the rest of the
enclosure.
Connect OIT Chassis Ground to Control Panel
To reduce the possibility of electrical in terference, connect the chassis
ground terminal of the OIT to a clean earth ground. If the control panel
is metal, make sure it is properly grounded. Then connect a short heavygauge wire (#14 AWG) from the chassis ground t er minal of the OIT 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.
NOTE: If the control panel is made of a non-conductive material, it is
essential that you connect the chassis ground terminal of the OIT to a
clean earth ground point located close to the panel.

7 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
Power Supply Selection
The power supply used to power the OIT should provide an output of
+24 VDC +/-20% measured at the OIT power terminal block. A 24VDC
regulated power supply dedicated to the OIT is recommended. Use a
power supply with adequate current rating based upon your particular
model.
A power line filter installed at the AC input to the OIT 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. In applications that may have high
frequency noise present, we also recommend using a resistor (~1 MΩ)
and capacitor (~4700 pF) in parallel to clean earth ground on the DC
output of the power supply.
Do not use the power supply used to provide power to the OIT to power
switching relays, solenoids, or other active devices.
Figure 3: Power Line Filter Connection
Cable Routing & Noise Immunity
Follow these guidelines when routing cables to the OIT:
- Always route the OIT communication cable and the power cable
away from any AC voltage or rapidly switching DC control lines.
0600-0069-0000 Rev D
8 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
- Never bundle the OIT cables together with 120VAC power wires
or with relay wiring.
- Try to keep at least 8 inches (20 cm) of separation between the
OIT cables and other power wiring. If voltages greater than
120VAC are used in the system, greater separation is required.
- If the OIT 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 th e cable lengths for the OIT 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.
Installation
It is necessary to follow all installation procedures described in this
chapter for electrical noise immunity and CE compliance.
Your Maple Systems OIT is designed to con nect easily to your PLC.
External rear connectors provide quick connections for power,
communications and programming wiring.
Connect the OIT to Power
Use the separate 3-position terminal block supplied with the OIT to
provide power to the OIT.
The power cable for the OIT should be 18AWG, 2-conductor wire with a
shield drain wire and protective shield (foil/braid). You may buy cable
P/N 6030-0009 by the foot from Maple Systems to make your own
power cable.
Always run the DC ground wire directly back to the signal return of the
power supply. Do not use the chassis ground wire as your signal return.

OIT power terminal.
d. Connect the black wire to the DC negative (-) input of
the OIT power terminal.
e. Connect the power cable shield wire to the OIT p ower
terminal’s chassis ground input.
2. Route the power cable to the OIT power supply. The power
cable should not be any longer than necessary.
3. Install the power supply wires as follows (wit h colors shown
for Maple Systems cable P/N 6030-0009):
NOTE: The power connector on the Silver Series is a terminal block
with wire clamps. Lugs are not required.
Panel Preparation
A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15
gauge (0.059 inch/3.3mm) if cold-rolled steel or hardened steel, or 10
gauge (0.101 inch/2.6mm) 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. Make sure all supplied
mounting clamps are used and that the panel does not flex or bow more
than 0.010” to ensure a proper seal.
0600-0069-0000 Rev D
10 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
OIT should be mounted into a panel with a depth of at least 4” (105mm).
Allow a clearance of at least 1” (25mm) on each side for mounting
hardware. Consider proper clearance for cable connections when mounting.
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.
NOTE: Clean and deburr the panel cutout before the OIT is installed.
Warning: The OIT requires a stiff, flat, smooth mounting
surface free of blemishes to seal properl y to NEMA 4.
Mount the OIT to the Panel
Figure 4: Installing Screws to the OIT
STEPS:
1. Prepare the clamps for the OIT by positioning the metal brackets
at the mid-points of the screws. Position the screws so that the
ends don’t protrude from the plastic portion.
Set the OIT in the panel cutout and hold it in place until all
clamps are in position.
2. Tighten the screw clamps in an even pattern until all are
uniformly snug.
