3 Installation
3.1 Unpack and inspect
Remove all of the packaging material and check the controller. If the controller is damaged, follow the Edwards
return of equipment procedures that are laid out in the back of this manual. Do not use the controller if it is damaged.
Check that the package contains the items that are listed in Table 6. If any of these items are missing, notify the
supplier in writing within three days. If the controller is not to be used immediately, store the controller in suitable
conditions as described in Section 6.1.
3.2 Fitting the controller
CAUTION
Rubber feet must be fitted (Figure 5, item 1) so that there are correct clearances for air circulation. If not, the
performance of the controller may be affected at high operating temperatures.
The controller can be used on a bench top or can be fitted in a rack or cabinet. Figure 5 shows the dimensions of the
TIC that are required for bench top use.
Note: If the interlocks are not used, the logic interface adaptor must be fitted to the 25-way connector.

Installation
Figure 5 - Bench mounted TIC dimensions (mm)
If a controller is fitted in a rack, cabinet or panel, follow the directions given in Figure 6, 7and 8.
CAUTION
Allow 150 mm at the rear for cables. Allow 50 mm top and bottom and 15 mm to the sides for sufficient air
circulation. Do not cover any of the ventilation holes.
CAUTION
This unit is IP20 rated. Please ensure that the unit is not installed where fluids can enter into the controller.
CAUTION
The unit must be supported at the rear.
WARNING
Ensure that all electrical wiring is safely secured so that people cannot trip on them.

Figure 6 - Front panel removal
Remove the bench top adaptor (Figure 6, item 1) by removing the four screws (Figure 6, item 2).
Slide the controller into the 19" rack or panel cut out. The use of 19" rack guide rails (Figure 7, item 2) and
support at the rear of the controller is recommended as shown in Figure 7. The panel cut out information is
defined in Figure 8.
Fix the controller in place using the four screws removed previously (Figure 7, item 1).
