Installation Procedures

Panel Setup Procedure
NOTE:
When transporting a panel with a GP installed, remove its rear module. The stress
from cables connecting peripheral equipment may cause damage to GP connectors.
Even though the GP may still be under warranty, damage caused by transporting a
panel with the GP rear module installed can be repaired for a fee.
Mount the unit in an enclosure that provides a clean, dry, robust and controlled
environment (IP65f enclosure or UL508 4x, if indoors.) (see page 28)
Before installing the GPunit verify that:
The gasket is flat and not damaged.

The installation panel or cabinet surface is flat (planarity tolerance: 0.5 mm

(0.019 in), in good condition and has no jagged edges. Metal reinforcing strips
may be attached to the inside of the panel, near the panel cut-out, to increase the
rigidity.
The panel must be designed to avoid any induced vibration resonance on the rear

module exceeding a punctual factor of 10 and to avoid any induced permanent
vibration resonance.
To reduce the resonance use the spacer supplied in the Accessories kit (sold
separately).
The ambient operating temperature and the ambient humidity are within their

specified ranges (see page 28).
The heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the unit to exceed its

specified operating temperature (see page 28).
The panel face is not inclined more than 30 when installing the unit in a slanted

panel:
30 or less
