Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter offers detailed installation instructions and outlines the options for
the 4600 units. It also includes the guidelines for preparing your unit for
installation and use.

Installation Overview

For Hazardous Locations installation, review the Hazardous Locations
Installation section in this chapter before startup.
The rugged design of the 4600 unit allows it to be installed in most industrial
environments. The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to
protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture. Metal enclosures also
help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can
generate.
Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all
the safety requirements.
1. Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the
system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix A).
To assure a NEMA 4 seal, choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-gauge
•
(0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum) front face.
Be sure to account for the unit's depth when choosing the depth of the
•
enclosure.
2. Create a cutout in the enclosure (see Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, and
Figure 2-4) in System Cutout Dimensions).
Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level
•
Make sure the area around the cutout is clean and free from metal burrs
•
3. Mount the unit in an upright position and properly secure the unit into the panel.
Tighten the fourteen #10 nuts to 25 inch-pounds (2.8 Newton-meters / 28Kgf
•
cm).
4. Construct a power cable following the instructions in AC Power Cable in this
chapter.
