Installation - Johnson Controls Metasys Integrator MIG3500 Series Installation Instructions Manual

Installation

Follow these guidelines when installing an MIG3500:
• Transport the MIG3500 in the original container to
minimize vibration and shock damage to the
MIG3500.
• Verify that all the parts shipped with the MIG3500.
• Do not drop the MIG3500 or subject it to physical
shock.
• Do not open the MIG3500 housing (except the
battery compartment). The MIG3500 has no
user-serviceable parts inside.
Parts Included
• one MIG3500 with removable terminal plugs
• one Lithium non-rechargeable battery (installed
and connected at the factory)
• one Installation Instructions sheet
Materials and Special Tools Needed
• three fasteners appropriate for the mounting
surface (#8 screws or M4 screws) or one 8 in.
(or longer) piece of DIN rail and appropriate
hardware for mounting the DIN rail
• small straight blade screwdriver for securing wires
in the terminal blocks
Mounting
Location Considerations
Follow these guidelines when mounting an MIG3500:
• If the MIG3500 is to replace an existing MIG300,
see Legacy MIG300 Replacement Considerations.
• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the
MIG3500 and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the MIG3500 in proper orientation
(Figure 2). A horizontal mounting orientation is
preferred, but the unit can also be mounted
vertically.
• Mount the MIG3500 on an even surface in wall
mount applications whenever possible. If you must
mount the MIG3500 on an uneven surface, be
careful not to crack the mounting clips or MIG3500
housing when tightening the screws. Use shims or
washers to mount the MIG3500 evenly on the
mounting surface.
• Mount the MIG3500 in areas free of corrosive
vapors, and observe the environmental limitations
listed in the Technical Specifications section.
2 Metasys Integrator® MIG3500 Series Installation Instructions
• Allow sufficient space for cable and wire
connections (Figure 1).
• Do not mount the MIG3500 where the ambient
temperature may exceed 50°C (122°F).
• Do not mount the MIG3500 on surfaces that are
prone to vibration or in areas where
electromagnetic emissions can interfere with
MIG3500 communication.
• Do not obstruct the MIG3500 housing ventilation
holes.
• Do not mount the power transformer below the
MIG3500.
For applications where the MIG3500 is mounted inside
a panel or enclosure, follow these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the MIG3500 in an airtight enclosure.
• Do not install heat-generating devices in the
enclosure with the MIG3500 that may cause the
ambient temperature to exceed 50°C (122°F).
Mounting the MIG3500
Wall Mount Applications
Use the holes in the three mounting clips for wall mount
applications. To mount the MIG3500 on a wall (or other
vertical surface):
1. Ensure that all three mounting clips are inserted
into the back of the MIG3500 housing. Pull the
bottom two clips outward and snap them firmly into
the extended position (Figure 3).
2. Mark the location of the three wall mount holes
using the dimensions in Figure 2, or hold the
MIG3500 up to the wall as a template and mark the
locations.
3. Drill holes in the wall at the locations marked in
Step 2 and insert wall anchors (if necessary).
4. Position the MIG3500 and insert the screws
through the holes in the mounting clips, and
carefully tighten all the screws.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the mounting
screws. Overtightening the screws may damage the
mounting clips or MIG3500 housing.
DIN Rail Mount Applications
To mount the MIG3500 on a DIN rail:
1. Securely mount and center an 8 in. (or longer)
section of DIN rail in the required space.
