STEP 2 INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER

The T16 and P16 controllers meet NEMA 4X/IP65
requirements for indoor use to provide a watertight seal in steel
panels with a minimum thickness of 0.09", or aluminum panels
with a minimum thickness of 0.12". The controllers are designed
to be mounted into an enclosed panel. The bezel assembly must
be in place during installation of the controller.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the panel cutout to the proper dimensions.
2. Remove the panel latch from the controller. Discard the
cardboard sleeve.
3. Carefully remove the center section of the panel gasket and
discard. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the controller,
seating it against the lip at the front of the case.
4. Insert the controller into the panel cutout. While holding the
controller in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the
controller, engaging the tabs of the panel latch in the farthest
forward slot possible.
5. To achieve a proper seal, tighten the panel latch screws evenly
until the controller is snug in the panel, torquing the screws to
approximately 7 in-lb (79 N-cm). Overtightening can result in
distortion of the controller, and reduce the effectiveness of the
seal.
Note: The installation location of the controller is
important. Be sure to keep it away from heat
sources (ovens, furnaces, etc.) and away from
direct contact with caustic vapors, oils, steam, or
any other process by-products in which exposure
may affect proper operation.
Multiple Controller Stacking
The controller is designed to allow for close spacing of
multiple controllers in applications that do not require protection
to NEMA 4X. Controllers can be stacked either horizontally or
vertically. For vertical stacking, install the panel latch with the
screws to the sides of the controller. For horizontal stacking, the
panel latch screws should be at the top and bottom of the
controller. The minimum spacing from centerline to centerline of
controllers is 1.96" (49.8 mm). This spacing is the same for
vertical or horizontal stacking.
Note: When stacking controllers, provide adequate panel
ventilation to ensure that the maximum operating temperature
range is not exceeded.
