2. Installation
Environmental Considerations
The rugged design of the VT1040 allows it to be installed in most industrial
environments. Refer to the electrical and environmental specifications and tolerances
(pg. 4) for more detailed information.
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.
Excessive Heat
To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not
exceed the maximum temperature specification (see pg. 4). Allocate proper spacing
between internal components installed in the enclosure.
When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the enclosure (see
pg. 4), use a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature.
5 141283 (E)
Page 9
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
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
(see pg. 3).
• You can maintain the NEMA 4 seal by mounting the unit in an approved enclosure
that has a 14 gauge (0.075"/1.9 mm thick) steel or (0.125"/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
6 141283 (E)
Page 10
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 (see pg. 4 for specifications).
• 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 overtightening can cause damage to the monitor
which can result in loss of seal integrity.
