In stal la tion of OITs
Be fore You Be gin
Please read the following for proper handling of your new OIT.
Un packing the Unit
Carefully unpack the OIT. Please read any instructions or cautions that appear on the shipping container. Check all
material in the container against the enclosed packing list. Maple Systems, Inc. will not accept responsibility for
shortages against the packing list unless notified within 30 days. The equipment and its accessories were inspected
and tested by Maple Systems before shipment; all of the equipment should be in good working order. Examine the
equipment carefully; if any shipping damage is evident, notify the carrier immediately. You are responsible for
claim negotiations with the carrier. Save the shipping container and packing material in case the equipment needs to
be stored, returned to Maple Systems, or transported for any reason.
Man aging Elec tro static Dis charge
It is best NOT to remove the rear enclosure of the OIT. When the rear part of the enclosure is removed, the circuitry
inside is exposed to possible damage by electrostatic discharge during handling. Minimize the possibility of
electrostatic discharge by:
• Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to handling the OIT
• Handling the OIT at a static-free grounded workstation
• Connecting the frame ground (FG) connector of the OIT to a clean earth ground
• Placing the OIT in an anti-static bag during transport
CE Com pli ance
The Silver Plus Series OITs have been tested to conform to European CE requirements per Council Directive
89/336/EEC. The European Union created these requirements to ensure conformity among products traded in those
countries. Specifically, the Silver Plus Series OITs meet or exceed the noise emissions and immunity requirements
as set forth in the EN50081 (Emissions) and EN50082 (Immunity) standards. These products are designed to
withstand electrical noise in harsh industrial environments. They also conform to requirements that limit electrical
emissions. However, this does not guarantee that the products will be totally immune from possible malfunction in
cases where severe electrical noise occurs. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
outlined in this chapter for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of the Silver Plus Series
OIT.
NEMA Rat ing
The Silver Plus Series OITs are rated for NEMA 4/12 (indoor) or IP65 installations. This means that when the OIT
is properly mounted to a panel or other enclosure, the front enclosure of the OIT will provide protection to the inside
of the panel from splashing water, wind blown dust, rain, or hose-directed water. The OIT must be installed
according to the instructions in this chapter to be properly sealed.
En vi ron men tal Con sid er ations
The Silver Plus Series is designed to operate in temperatures from 0-45° C. It is intended for indoor installations
and not designed for outdoor applications. Avoid installing the Silver Plus Series in environments with severe
mechanical vibration or shocks. Do not install the OIT in enclosures with rapid temperature variations or high
humidity. Either will cause condensation of water inside the device and eventual damage to the OIT.
