Xycom Automation XT1502T FLAT PANEL INDUSTRIAL MONITOR
Product Overview
Xycom Automation industrial monitors meet the rigorous requirements of the plant floor with high-resolution flat panel displays in a rugged housing with an optional resistive membrane touchscreen.
The XT1502 flat panel monitor delivers crisp, bright text and graphics with a low current draw, and it fits into panels that CRTs cannot.
The XT1502 is self-contained, requiring only to be panel mounted in an appropriate enclosure and connected to 120/240 VAC and VGA source

Environmental Considerations
The rugged design of the XT1502 allows it to be installed in most industrial environments. Refer to the electrical and environmental specifications and tolerances(pg. 1-4) for more detailed information.
System Power
It is a good practice to use isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the system.
An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which heavy equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line.
The isolation transformer can also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line voltage to a desired level.
The transformer should have a sufficient power rating (units of volt-amperes) to supply the load adequately.
Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Refer to the relevant federal, state/provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of electrical components.
The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent (no solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the system with
minimal impedance (minimum wire required is 18 AWG, 1 mm).
Observe the following practices:
• Separate the power and ground (P. E., or Protective Earth) cable from signal cables at the point of entry to the enclosure. To minimize the ground wire length within the enclosure, locate the ground reference point near the point of entry for the plant power supply.
• All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be Earth Grounded in installations where high levels of electrical noise can be expected.
The rack/chassis should be grounded with a ground rod or attached to a nearby Earth structure such as a steel support beam.
Connect each different apparatus to a single Earth Ground point in a "star" configuration with low impedance cable.
Scrape away paint and other nonconductive material from the area where a chassis makes contact with the enclosure.
In addition to the ground connection made through the mounting bolt or stud, use a one-inch metal braid or size #8 AWG wire to connect between each
chassis and the enclosure at the mounting bolt or stud.
Excessive Heat
To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not exceed the maximum temperature specification.
Allocate proper spacing between internal components installed in the enclosure.
When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the enclosure, use a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature
Location and Enclosure
• Place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports.
• Account for the unit dimensions when selecting an installation location or enclosure
• You can maintain the NEMA 4 seal by mounting the unit in an approved enclosure that has a 14 gauge (0.075"/1.9 mm thick) steel or (0.125"/3.2 mm thick) aluminum front face.
• Place the unit at a comfortable working level.
• Mount the unit in an upright position, if possible.
• 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.
• Avoid obstructing the airflow to allow for maximum cooling.
• Place any fans or blowers close to the heat-generating devices.
If using a fan, make sure that outside air is not brought inside the enclosure unless a fabric or other reliable filter is used.
This filtration prevents conductive particles or 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) (equipment such as high-power welding machines, induction heating equipment, and large motor starters).
• Do not place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) near 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 so 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 overloading the supply circuit
