Installation Overview
Warning
For installation in Hazardous Locations, review the Hazardous Locations
Installation section in this chapter before startup.
The rugged design of the 1546 and 1547 Node Boxes 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.
For Underwriters Laboratories (UL) compliance, the unit must be installed within a suitable fire enclosure.
Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all the safety requirements.
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.
Create a mounting location in the enclosure (see System Mounting Dimensions).
Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level
Make sure the area around the mounting location is clean and free from metal burrs
Mount the unit position and properly secure the unit into the panel.
Tighten the fourteen #10 screws to 20 inch-pounds (2.597 Newton-meters /23Kgf cm).
Construct a power cable following the instructions in AC Power Cable in this chapter.
Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the other end to a properly grounded 115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.
A ground path from the unit chassis to the enclosure chassis can be established using the 6-32 threaded ground point hole provided on the bottom panel of the unit
Turn on power to the system. The system will boot up the installed operating system.
Install the application software via a floppy drive, CD-ROM, or the network.
Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your 1546 and 1547 Node
Boxes:
Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience
Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner
To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow
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 interface (RFI). Examples of these types of equipment are: high power welding machines; induction heating equipment; and large motor starters.
