Environmental Considerations

The rugged design of the 5015T allows it to be installed in most industrial environments.
Refer to the electrical and environmental specifications and tolerances in the Product
Specifications and Ratings section for more detailed information.

Power Management

The monitor is based on the VESA DPMS and the DVI DMPM standards.
To activate the monitor's Power Management function, both the video card and the computer
must conform to the VESA DPMS standard and the DVI DMPM standard.

System Power

It is a good practice to use isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the
system. An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which heavy
equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line. The isolation transformer can
also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line voltage to a desired
level. The transformer should have a sufficient power rating (units of volt-amperes) to
supply the load adequately.

Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Refer to the relevant
federal, state/provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data such as the size and
types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of
electrical components. The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent (no
solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the system with
minimal impedance (minimum wire required is 18 AWG, 1 mm).

Observe the following practices:
 Separate the power and ground (P. E., or Protective Earth) cable from signal cables at

the point of entry to the enclosure. To minimize the ground wire length within the
enclosure, locate the ground reference point near the point of entry for the plant
power supply.

 All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be Earth Grounded in
installations where high levels of electrical noise can be expected. The rack/chassis
should be grounded with a ground rod or attached to a nearby Earth structure such as
a steel support beam. Connect each different apparatus to a single Earth Ground point
in a "star" configuration with low impedance cable. Scrape away paint and other
nonconductive material from the area where a chassis makes contact with the
enclosure. In addition to the ground connection made through the mounting bolt or
stud, use a one-inch metal braid or size #8 AWG wire to connect between each
chassis and the enclosure at the mounting bolt or stud.

Caution:

Use AWG18 wire or greater for the 5015T’s power cable.

Isolate the AC main circuit line, I/O signal lines, and power cord - do not bind or group
them together.

Excessive Heat

To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not
exceed the maximum temperature specification. Allocate proper spacing between
internal components installed in the enclosure.

When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the enclosure, use a fan
or air conditioner to lower the temperature.

Electrical Noise

Electrical noise is seldom responsible for damaging components, unless extremely high
energy or high voltage levels are present. However, noise can cause temporary
malfunctions that can result in hazardous machine operation in certain applications. Noise
may be present only at certain times, may appear at widely spread intervals, or in some
cases may exist continuously.

Noise commonly enters through input, output, and power supply lines and may also be
coupled through the capacitance between these lines and the noise signal carrier lines.
This usually results from the presence of high voltage or long, close-spaced conductors.
When control lines are closely spaced with lines carrying large currents, the coupling of
magnetic fields can also occur. Use shielded cables to help minimize noise. Potential

7 142029 (D)

5015T Flat Panel Industrial Monitor Chapter 2 Installation

noise generators include switching components, relays, solenoids, motors, and motor
starters.

Refer to the relevant Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes, which provide
data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for
safe grounding of electrical components. It is recommended that high- and low-voltage
cabling be separated and dressed apart. In particular, AC cables and switch wiring should
not be in the same conduit with all communication cables.

Line Voltage Variation

The power supply section of the unit is built to sustain the specified line fluctuations and
still allow the system to function in its operating margin. As long as the incoming voltage
is adequate, the power supply provides all the logic voltages necessary to support the
monitor unit.

Unusual AC line variations may cause undesirable system shutdowns. As a first step to
reduce line variations, correct any possible feed problems in the distribution system. If
this correction does not solve the problem, use a constant voltage transformer. The
constant voltage transformer stabilizes the input voltage to the systems by compensating
for voltage changes at the primary in order to maintain a steady voltage at the secondary.
When using a constant voltage transformer, check that the power rating is sufficient to
supply the unit.

Location and Enclosure

 Place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports.
 Account for the unit dimensions when selecting an installation location or enclosure.
 You can maintain the NEMA 4 seal by mounting the unit in an approved enclosure

that has a 14 gauge (0.075 in./1.9 mm thick) steel or (0.125 in./3.2 mm thick) aluminum
front face.

 Place the unit at a comfortable working level.
 Mount the unit in an upright position, if possible.
 Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior

lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience.

 Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner.
 Avoid obstructing the airflow to allow for maximum cooling.
 Place any fans or blowers close to the heat-generating devices. If using a fan, make

sure that outside air is not brought inside the enclosure unless a fabric or other
reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles or other harmful
contaminants from entering the enclosure.

 Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic

interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI) (equipment such as high-power
welding machines, induction heating equipment, and large motor starters).

 Do not place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage

transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) near the system. The

proper location of incoming line devices keeps power wire runs as short as possible

and minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.

 Make sure the location does not exceed the unit's shock, vibration, and temperature

specifications, as outlined in the Product Specifications and Ratings section.

 Install the unit so it does not cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading.
 Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on permanently

connected equipment.

 Avoid overloading the supply circuit.

Panel Installation

This monitor should be mounted in and used where NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 type
enclosures are employed. When mounted properly, the monitor meets or exceeds the
sealing requirements set forth in the NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 specifications. The monitor
uses "U"-shaped clips and a special gasket to achieve the proper seal.

To install the monitor, make a cutout per the diagram below in one of the walls of your
NEMA enclosure. Enclosures made of heavier gauge metal work better in that they won't
deform or bend as easily when the monitor's sealing gasket is compressed. Next hold the
monitor in place while you install the mounting clips. Tighten the clips in a cross pattern.
This will help to develop an even pressure on the sealing gasket. Tighten the clips to the
point were the back of the monitor's front bezel just begins to contact the front of the
NEMA enclosure.

Caution: Do not over-tighten because it can cause damage to the monitor, which can
result in loss of seal integrity.

Hazardous Locations Installations

Xycom Automation designed the systems with the intention of meeting the requirements
of Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations applications. Division 2 locations are those
locations that are normally non-hazardous, but potentially hazardous should an accident
expose the area to flammable vapors, gases or combustible dusts.

These systems are non-incendiary devices. They are not intrinsically safe and should never
be operated within a Division 1 (normally hazardous) location when installed as described
here. Nor should any peripheral interface device attached to these systems be located within
Division 1 locations unless approved and/or certified diode barriers are placed in series with
each individual signal and DC power line. Any such installations are beyond the bounds of
Xycom Automation design intent. Xycom Automation accepts no responsibility for
installations of this equipment or any devices attached to this equipment in Division 1
locations.

NOTE:

It is the customer’s responsibility when adding additional cards that they met operating
conditions for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the product is properly rated for the
location. If the intended location does not presently have a Class, Division, and Group
rating, then users should consult the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction in order to
determine the correct rating for that Hazardous Location.

In accordance with Federal, State/Provincial, and Local regulations, all hazardous
location installations should be inspected by the appropriate authority having jurisdiction
prior to use. Only technically qualified personnel should install, service, and inspect these
systems.

Warning

Suitable for use in Class I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D, and Class II,
Division 2, Groups F and G hazardous locations or non-hazardous locations
only. Temperature Codes: T4A (5015T-24V), T4 (5015T)

modules.

Advertissement Risque D’ Explosion

Dans les situations hasardees, couper la courant avant de remplacer ou de
cabler les modules.

Warning

To maintain a safe condition, do not use an external keyboard or mouse or
USB port devices when the unit is operating in a hazardous environment.

Definitions

The following Class and Division explanations are derived from Article 500 (Sections 5
and 6) of the United States National Fire Protection Agency National Electric Code
(NFPA 70, 1990). They are not complete and are included here only for a general
description for those not familiar with generic hazardous locations’ requirements.

Persons responsible for the installation of this equipment in Hazardous Locations are
responsible for ensuring that all relevant codes and regulations related to location rating,
enclosure, and wiring are met.

Class I Locations

Class I locations are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in
the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

Class II Locations

Class II locations are those that are, or may become, hazardous because of the presence
of combustible dust.

Division 1 Locations

A Division 1 location is one in which flammable or ignitable gasses, vapors, or
combustible dusts and particles can exist due the following conditions:

• Normal operating conditions.

• Because of repair, maintenance conditions, leakage, or where mechanical failure or

abnormal operation of machinery or equipment might release or cause explosive or
ignitable mixtures to be released or produced.

• Combustible dusts of an electrically conductive nature may be present in hazardous
quantities.

12 142029 (D)

5015T Flat Panel Industrial Monitor Chapter 2 Installation

NOTE

Xycom Automation 5015T, 5015T-24V systems are not suitable for installation
within Division 1 locations.

NOTE

Electrical equipment cannot be installed in Division 1 locations unless they are
intrinsically safe, installed inside approved explosion-proof enclosures, or installed
inside approved purged and pressurized enclosures.

Division 2 Locations

• Class I volatile flammable liquids or flammable gasses are handled, processed, or
used, but confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can
escape only in cases of accidental rupture or breakdown of such enclosures or
systems, or in case of abnormal operation of equipment.

• Ignitable concentrations of Class I vapors or gasses are normally prevented by
positive mechanical ventilation, but which may become hazardous due to mechanical
failure of those ventilation systems.

• Location is adjacent to a Division 1 location.

• Class II combustible dust is not normally in the air in quantities sufficient to produce

explosive or ignitable mixtures. Dust accumulations are normally insufficient to
interfere with normal operation of electrical equipment or other apparatus.
Combustible dust may be in suspension in the air as a result of the following:
infrequent malfunctioning of handling or processing equipment; combustible dust
accumulations on, or in the vicinity of electrical equipment; may be ignitable by
abnormal operation or failure of electrical equipment.

Groups

All electrical equipment that is approved for use in hazardous locations must include a
group rating. Various flammable and combustible substances are divided into these
groups as a function of their individual maximum experimental safe gap (MESG),
explosion pressure, and ignition temperature.

Component temperatures and the potential for spark based upon voltage, current, and
circuit characteristics, within electrical equipment, will determine what the equipment
group rating will be. A device approved for installation within Class I, Group A locations
may also be used in Groups B, C, or D.

NOTE:

Approved Class I equipment may not be suitable for Class II installations. Class I
includes Groups A, B, C, and D. Class II includes Groups F, and G.

Power Switch

The systems do not have a power switch. The amount of input power required by these
systems classifies a power switch as an incendiary device because the voltage and current
across the make/break device are capable of creating a spark.

Hazardous locations’ regulations require that a power switch rated for ordinary locations
may be used if it is located in an area specified as non-hazardous. However, limits in

13 142029 (D)

5015T Flat Panel Industrial Monitor Chapter 2 Installation

cable length between the workstation and the power switch may apply. Otherwise the
switch must be compliant with Class I, Division 1 requirements (intrinsically safe). These
switches are built in a manner that prevents the possibility of a spark when contacts are
made or broken.

Use suitable UL listed and/or CSA Certified Class I, Division 1 switches in hazardous
locations. These switches are available from a wide number of sources. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the power switch selected for their
installation has the correct hazardous locations rating for the location in which it is
installed.

Cable Connections

Division 2 hazardous locations’ regulations require that all cable connections be provided
with adequate strain relief and positive interlock. USB connections can never be used in
hazardous location installations, because USB connectors do not provide adequate strain
relief. Never connect or disconnect a cable while power is applied at either end of the
cable.

All communication cables should include a chassis ground shield. This shield should
include both copper braid and aluminum foil. The D-sub style connector housing should
be a metal conductive type (e.g., molded zinc) and the ground shield braid should be well
terminated directly to the connector housing. Do not use a shield drain wire.

The outer diameter of the cable must be suited to the inner diameter of the cable
connector strain relief in order to ensure that a reliable degree of strain relief is
maintained.

Never connect or disconnect the communication cables while power is
applied at either end of the cable. This may result in an incendiary spark.
Permanent damage to the workstation communication components may
occur.

Operation and Maintenance

The systems have been designed for compliance with relevant spark ignition tests.
However, please note that the workstation front panel contrast adjustment tactile switches
and keyboard connector are the only make/break components intended to be exercised by
the operator in the course of normal operation.
