Equipment Manual OP7, OP17
Release 04/99
Operator Panels OP7 and OP17 are suitable for fitting into control cabinets
and consoles.
Before you install an OP, you must cut out a section of the front panel (moun-
ting cutout) (see chapter 16). The front panel must not be thicker than 6 mm.
No other drilled holes are required for mounting.
You will find mounting depth details in chapter 16.
Make sure at the location where you plan to install the OP that there is a
clearance of at least 50 mm beneath its housing to accommodate protruding
connectors.
Caution
The OP must be brought to room temperature before it is commissioned.
In the event of moisture condensation, do not turn on the OP until it is
absolutely dry.
The OP was subjected to function testing before being supplied to you.
Should a fault occur for all that, please enclose a precise description of
the fault on returning the OP.
To prevent the OP from overheating in operation,
– the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight (this simultaneously
prevents fading of the foil front) and
– the ventilation slits in the device housing must remain free after
mounting.
On opening the panel, certain parts of the system become accessible that
may conduct hazardous voltage.
The IP65 degree of protection on the front panel can be insured only when
the gasket on the front panel of the OP fits properly.
Should you wish to modify the labels on the function keys, replace the
labeling strips before you install the OP. You will find tips on how to replace
labeling strips in section 16.3.
