Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter offers detailed installation instructions and outlines the options for
the 3600 units. It also includes the guidelines for preparing your unit for
installation and use.
Installation Overview
Warning
For Hazardous Locations installation, review the Hazardous Locations
Installation section in this chapter before startup.
The rugged design of the 3600 unit allows it to be installed in most industrial
environments. The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to
protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture. Metal enclosures also
help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can
generate.
Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all
the safety requirements.
1. Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the
system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix A).
• To assure a NEMA 4 seal, choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-gauge
(0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum) front face.
• Be sure to account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the
enclosure.
2. Create a cutout in the enclosure (see Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, and
Figure 2-4 in System Cutout Dimensions).
• Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level
• Make sure the area around the cutout is clean and free from metal burrs
3. Mount the unit in an upright position and properly secure the unit into the panel.
• Tighten the fourteen #10 nuts to 25 inch-pounds (2.8 Newton-meters / 28Kgf
cm).
4. Construct a power cable following the instructions in AC Power Cable in this
chapter.

3600 Series Flat Panel Industrial PC Chapter 2 – Installation

••
• Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices. If using a fan,
make sure that outside air is not brought into the enclosure unless a fabric or
other reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles and other
harmful contaminants from entering the enclosure.
•
••
• Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Examples of these
types of equipment are: high power welding machines; induction heating
equipment; and large motor starters.
•
••
• Place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage
transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) away from the
system. The proper location of incoming line devices keeps power wire runs as
short as possible and minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.
•
••
• Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and
temperature specifications
•
••
• Install the unit in the rack or panel in such a way as to ensure that it does not
cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading
•
••
• Incorporate a readily-accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on
permanently connected equipment
•
••
• Avoid circuit overloading of the supply circuit
