Installation manual for the EXTER series operator panels
Foreword
The EXTER operator panel is developed to satisfy the demands of human-
machine communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and controlling text,
dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.
The operator panel work, for the most part, in an object-oriented way, making it easy
to understand and use. The configuration operation of the panel is made in a person-
al computer, using the configuration tool Information Designer. The project is then
transferred and stored in the operator panel.
The operator panel can be connected to many types of automation equipment, such
as PLCs, servos or drives. In this manual the expression “the controller“ is used as a
general term for the connected equipment.
This manual explains how to install the operator panel. Please refer to the reference
manual for further information.

1 Safety Precautions
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of the operator panel must read and
understand this installation manual.
1.1 UL and cUL Installation
– This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D
OR non-hazardous locations only. [Combinations of equipment in your system
are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time
of installation.]

mounted vertical.
– WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect equipment unless
power has been removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
– For Canada also AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION – AVANT DE
DECONNECTER L’EQUIPEMENT, COUPER LE COURANT OU
S’ASSURER QUE L‘EMPLACEMENTEST DESIGNE NON DANGEREUX.

6 Additional Installation Tips
When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments or
when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations are to be
noticed.
6.1 Grounding the Operator Panel
1. The operator panel’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding con-
nection between the panel and the device cabinet.
2. Connect a 2.5 mm2wire between the operator panel’s quick-connect plinth and
the panel chassis.
3. Connect a 6 or 4 mm2wire or grounding braid between the panel’s chassis and
the closest grounding point on the door.
4. Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device
cabinet.
5. Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed.
6. A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed.
2 turns around the ferrite core provide 4 times the suppression of 1 turn.
3 turns around the ferrite core provide 9 times the suppression of 1 turn.
Remember:
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies
and will not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better.
The best is a short, thick grounding braid.

Additional Installation Tips

6.2 Ethernet Connection in the Panel
1. In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to
the chassis via a capacitor.
2. The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis.
Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shield directly grounded or grounded
via a capacitor.
In many cases, connecting the shielded Ethernet cabling to the chassis at both ends
is inappropriate. Hum or grounding loops can occur. Unshielded cabling may even
result in fewer communication errors.
A good solution may be to use a shielded Ethernet cable,but to connect the shield at
one end only.
3. One option is to break the shield.
4. A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece
of unshielded Ethernet cable.
5. You can ground the shield via an external 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor. This
will connect the HF transients to the ground.
