CHAPTER 1: SAFETY / COMPLIANCE
1.1 Safety Warnings and Guidelines
When found on the product, the following symbols specify:
Warning: Consult user documentation.
Warning: Electrical Shock Hazard.
WARNING –EXPLOSION HAZARD –Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or burns, always connect the safety (or earth)
ground before making any other connections.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or physical injury it is strongly
recommended to fuse the voltage measurement inputs. Be sure to locate fuses as close to
the source as possible.
WARNING: Replace fuse with the same type and rating to provide protection against risk of
fire and shock hazards.
WARNING: In the event of repeated failure, do not replace the fuse again as a repeated
failure indicates a defective condition that will not clear by replacing the fuse.
WARNING –EXPLOSION HAZARD –Substitution of components may impair suitability for
Class I, Division 2
WARNING: The USB parts are for operational maintenance only. Do not leave permanently
connected unless area is known to be non-hazardous
WARNING –EXPLOSION HAZARD - BATTERIES MUST ONLY BE CHANGED IN AN AREA
KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS
WARNING: Battery May Explode If Mistreated. Do Not Recharge, Disassemble or Dispose Of In
Fire
WARNING: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of
this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this
equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or
loss of life.

A u g u s t 1 3 , 2 0 2 1 P a g e 11 | 191
a. All applicable codes and standards need to be followed in the installation of this product.
b. For I/O wiring (discrete), use the following wire type or equivalent: Belden 9918, 18 AWG
or larger.
Adhere to the following safety precautions whenever any type of connection is made to the
module.
a. Connect the green safety (earth) ground first before making any other connections.
b. When connecting to electric circuits or pulse-initiating equipment, open their related
breakers. Do not make connections to live power lines.
c. Make connections to the module first; then connect to the circuit to be monitored.
d. Route power wires in a safe manner in accordance with good practice and local codes.
e. Wear proper personal protective equipment including safety glasses and insulated
gloves when making connections to power circuits.
f. Ensure hands, shoes, and floors are dry before making any connection to a power line.
g. Make sure the unit is turned OFF before making connection to terminals. Make sure all
circuits are de-energized before making connections.
h. Before each use, inspect all cables for breaks or cracks in the insulation. Replace
immediately if defective.

3.1 Overview
The mechanical installation greatly affects the operation, safety and appearance of the system.
Information is provided to mechanically install the unit such as cut-out sizes, mounting
procedures and other recommendations for the proper mechanical installation of the unit.
3.2 Mounting Requirements
3.2.1 Mounting Procedures (Installed in a Panel Door)
Figure 3.1 –Panel Mounting of an EXL10 Series OCS
Once the panel design has been completed using the criteria and suggestions in the following
sections, use the following steps to panel mount the EXL10 OCS.
1. Remove all connectors from the EXL10 OCS unit.
2. Make sure the gasket is installed on the EXL10 OCS and is free from dust and debris.
Check that the corners of the gasket are secure.
3. Pass the unit through the panel.
4. Insert each of the ten (10) mounting clips into the slots in the EXL10 OCS case. One clip
should be installed on each corner. Lightly tighten each screw so the clip is held in
place.
5. Tighten the screws on the clips such that the gasket is compressed against the panel.
Recommended torque is 7-10 in-lbs (0.8-1.13 N-m).

3.5 Installation Procedure
•The EXL10 utilizes a clip installation method to ensure a robust and watertight seal to
the enclosure. Please follow the steps below for the proper installation and operation
of the unit.
•This equipment is suitable for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or non-
hazardous locations only.
•Digital outputs shall be supplied from the same source as the operator control station.
•Jumpers on connector JP1 shall not be removed or replaced while the circuit is live
unless the area is known to be free of ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or
vapors.
1. Carefully locate an appropriate place to mount the EXL10. Be sure to leave enough
room at the top of the unit for insertion and removal of the microSD™ card.
2. Carefully cut the host panel per the diagram, creating a 216mm x 288.5mm +/-0.1 mm
opening into which the EXL10 may be installed. If the opening is too large, water may
leak into the enclosure, potentially damaging the unit. If the opening is too small, the
OCS may not fit through the hole without damage.
3. Remove any burrs and or sharp edges and ensure the panel is not warped in the
cutting process.
4. Remove all Removable Terminals from the EXL10. Insert the EXL10 through the panel
cutout (from the front). The gasket must be between the host panel and the EXL10.
5. Install and tighten the four mounting clips (provided in the box) until the gasket forms
a tight seal. NOTE: Max torque is 0.8 to 1.13 N m, or 7-10 in-lbs.
6. Reinstall the EXL10 I/O Removable Terminal Blocks. Connect communications cables to
the serial port, USB ports, Ethernet port, and CAN port as required.
