EZTouch I/O Jr. Installation Safety Considerations Please follow all applicable local and national codes to ensure maximum safety of the equipment and personnel. The installation and operational environment must be maintained per the latest revision of these codes. You are responsible to determine the codes to be followed and to verify the compliance of equipment, installation, and operation with the latest revision of these codes.
EZTouch I/O Jr. Installation Considerations Our products have been designed and tested for operation in the most demanding industrial environments. Modern solid-state industrial controls are complex electronic equipment that operate at low levels of voltage and current, co-existing with components that operate at much higher levels of power. The difference in operating power characteristics between the high and low power control devices creates the possibility of unwanted signals being generated, thus causing interference.
EZTouch I/O Jr. or at the farthest point when enclosed within the cabinet. We recommend that the EZTouch I/O Jr. have a minimum clear space of 2" on all sides for adequate ventilation as shown in the image on the right. Electrical Considerations This section is designed to provide you with a very basic understanding of electrical noise and how to keep it away from CPUs.
EZTouch I/O Jr. Shielding from RFI Shielded Cables Power cables, I/O cables or wiring, and communication cables should all be separate so that they do not couple the conducted RFI on any of these wires/ cables. Another path for RFI into the PLC is through its RS232 port. Hence, the cables to this port must be shielded properly.
