Product Overview
This section of the manual provides an overview of FP4 series products, its front and back view,
installation details, dimensional details, mounting method and details.
Installing FP4 products
FP4 series products are designed for front panel mounting. Before installing the products, user should
review the panel guidelines, panel cutout dimensions, product dimensions and minimum clearances.
Panel Guidelines
The panel must be at least 2mm (12gauge), so that it can provide the required support and proper sealing
against water and dust. The panel surface must be flat, without any imperfection, to maintain adequate
seal and IP rating.
Maximum panel thickness allowed is 6mm (±0.2mm).
Panel Cutout Dimensions
The panel must be at least 2mm (12gauge), so that it can provide the required support and proper sealing
against.

ATTENTION
ATTENTION: Panel cutout
Before making panel cutout, disconnect all electrical power from the panel.
Make sure that area surrounding the panel cutout is clear.
Make sure that metal cutting does not enter any component already installed in the
panel.
Product Dimensions
This section of the manual provides dimensional details of FP4 series products. All the dimensions shown
below are measured in mm.

Minimum Clearances
Maintain clearance from enclosure walls, wires and other adjacent devices. Keep 2” space on all sides
for adequate ventilation. Plan for adequate space around the product and inside the enclosure for
ventilation and cabling. Take into consideration the heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The
ambient temperature around this product must be -10° to 60°C.
Mounting FP4 Products
FP4 series products must be installed on the front panel, using the clamp accessories shipped with the
product. Before mounting, make sure that sealing gasket is properly positioned. This gasket forms a
compression type seal. Do not use sealing compounds. Then, place the unit in the panel cutout and
tighten the mounting screws evenly (torque 0.4Nm) to maintain water and dust resistance.
ATTENTION
ATTENTION: Mounting FP4 on Panel
Do not push LCD display when pushing the unit into the panel as it may damage the
display.
Connecting Power
FP4 series require 24VDC power supply. Follow the steps mentioned below to connect the power:
Make sure that terminal is not connected to power source
Secure the 24VDC power wires
Secure the functional earth ground wire to the functional earth ground terminal screw on terminal
block
Apply 24VDC power to the terminal
Grounding
The optimum method for grounding electronic equipment is to ground it separately from other high-power
systems and to ground more than one unit of electronic equipment with a single-point ground. Following
marked terminal is provided with the unit for grounding:
