Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The NP-600S is a miniature and compact platform that has no redundant functions. It
is designed for small-sized operator interface market. It has 5.7" STN LCD display,
which is a good cost effective choice for limited budget. Its RISC kernel, the Intel
StrongARM 1110 processor, is of low power consumption without sacrificing
performance. The NP-600S has 10Base-T Ethernet port offering good
communication ability as the world is webized. IVC Displays, Inc. is offering this OI
solution in the way that the NP-600S is bundled with Windows CE OS. The built-in
Windows CE OS platform forms a bridge that lets NP-600S be an open HMI solution
for system integration.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
2.1 Mounting Instructions
2.1.1 Location Considerations
Care should be taken when locating equipment behind the unit to ensure thatAC
power wiring, PLC output modules, contactors, starters and relays, and any other
source of electrical interference are located away from the back of the unit.
Particular note should be taken to the position of variable speed drives and switching
power supplies. Their input and load cables should be screened to a central star earth
point.
2.1.2 Making a NEMA-4 Mounting
Panel Details The unit can be mounted into panels with a depth of 4”(105mm). It
is recommended that the unit be mounted on the front panel of a
steel enclosure, through an appropriate opening*.Allow a clearance
of 1”(25mm) around the sides of the unit for mounting hardware.
Allow clearance for cable connections to the back of the unit. Unit
depth may vary according to cable type used. Typically, plan a
depth to accommodate at least 4”(105mm) behind the panel.
NEMA-4
Mounting Put the unit through the panel cut out. Slide the clamps into the 6 holes provided around the case. Tighten the clamping screws in an
even pattern until the unit is secured in the panel.
Caution! Do not over tighten mounting clamps!
Note: Specifications Note:
To seal to NEMA-4 specifications, all supplied mounting clamps
must be used and panel cannot flex more than 0.010”.

2.1.3 Environmental Considerations
 The NP-600S are to be used indoors as built in displays. Make sure that the
displays are installed correctly and that the operating limits are followed (See
Specifications).
 Do not operate the unit in areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable
gases, vapors or dusts.
 The unit should not be installed where fast temperature variations and/or high
humidity are present. This will cause condensation of water in the device.
 Do not install these terminals in environments where have inflammable gases.
2.2 Power Connections
Make sure that all local and national electrical standards are met when the installing
the unit. Contact your local authorities to determine which codes apply.

2.2.1 Power Requirements
Power The NP-600S can be powered by DC power only. The specified
voltage range is +21 to 25 Volts DC. This insures compatibility
with most controller DC systems. The power conditioning circuitry
inside the unit is accomplished by a switching power supply. The
peak starting current can be as high as 700mA.
Fusing
Requirements If the display does not come on within 2 seconds of power up,
remove power. An internal fuse will prevent damage if the polarity
of the DC power is incorrect. Check wiring to insure proper
connections and try to power up again.
Caution
High Voltage An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage condition
however it isn’t guaranteed.
DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from mainAC
power and similar hazards.
Caution
Emergency
Stop
A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in any system
using an NP-600S to comply with ICS Safety Recommendations.
Caution
Supply Voltage
Condition
Do not power the NP-600S and inductive DC loads, or input
circuitry to the controller, with the same power supply. Note: The 24
VDC output from some controllers may not have enough current to
power the NP-600S.
Caution
Wire Routing Wire lengths should be minimized (Maximum 1600’ (500 m)
shielded, 1000’(300 m) unshielded).
Wires should be run in pairs with a neutral or common paired with a
hot or signal line.
If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, use appropriate
surge suppression devices.
Keep AC, high energy, and rapidly switching DC wiring separate
from signal wires.
Equip ungrounded DC supplies with a resistor and capacitor in
parallel to earth ground. This provides a path for static and high
frequency dissipation. Typical values to use are 1MOhm and
4700pF.
Connection To make a connection, strip about 3/8” of insulation off the end of
the wire, turn the connector screw counterclockwise until the gap is
wide open, insert the wire all the way in, and turn the screw
clockwise until it’s tight.
Connect positive DC line to the ‘+24V’terminal and the DC ground
to the ‘0V‘ terminal.

2.2.2 Grounding Requirements
Chassis ground must be used. DC ground is not directly coupled to Earth ground
internally. It is preferable not to ground DC negative return to chassis ground as poor
site earths can introduce noise into a system, but if necessary an earth connection
should be made, from the power supply return point to the central star earth point.
Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. The conductors
must always be large enough to carry the maximum short circuit current of the path
being considered. Ground conductors should be connected to a tree from a central star
earth ground point. This ensures that no ground conductor carries current from any
other branch.
2.2.3 CE Requirements
To make an NP-600S comply with EMC directives, and to reduce susceptibility to
electrical interference, a separate #14 AWG ground wire should be taken to the chassis
ground terminal of the power connector. This ground connection should be run
directly to the central star earth connection point (as recommended in most
Installation Instructions).
2.2.4 Safety Guidelines
This section presents recommended installation practices, and procedures. Since no
two applications are identical, these recommendations should be considered as
guidelines.
Hardware Considerations WARNING!
The system designer should be aware that devices in Controller systems could fail and
thereby create an unsafe condition. Furthermore, electrical interference in an operator
interface, such as an NP-600S, can lead to equipment start-up, which could result in
property damage and/or physical injury to the equipment operator.
If you, or your company, use any programmable control systems that require an
operator or attendant, you should be aware that this potential safety hazard exists and
take appropriate precautions. Although the specific design steps depend on your
particular application, the following precautions generally apply to installation of
solid-state programmable control devices. In addition, these precautions conform to
the guidelines for installation of Controllers as recommended in the NEMAICS 3-304
Control Standards.
