Page 7: Installation
NSTALLATION 4.1 G UIDELINES 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. - Page 8 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.
- Page 9 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. Industrial plants have a number of generators of electrical noise that are sometimes also referred to as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Anytime an inductive load like a motor, motor starter, or solenoid is turned off, it generates a burst of excess energy that has to flow back to ground, just like electrical energy from a lightning storm has to flow back to Earth.
- Page 10 Similarly, the equipment enclosures are generally either painted or anodized. Mounting of painted or anodized enclosures to like surfaces also does not ensure good metallic contact between the equipment chassis and cabinet. It is imperative that the equipment chassis are grounded such as through the use of grounding straps as illustrated below.

Page 14: Mounting Instructions
4.3 M OUNTING NSTRUCTIONS EZ7 comes in two parts: 1. HMI Processor Unit, mounted using 4 studs on backside of the control cabinet door 2. Display Unit, mounted on studs (number of studs depends on size). A cable connects the two parts, which passes through a ¾” hole in the cabinet door. To mount the unit, in summary: •... - Page 15 2. Once all the holes have been drilled in the cabinet. Take the Processor Box and plug in the provided HDMI cable into its connector port. 3. Then use the provided screws (6-32 Philips Flat head ½” length. (X 4),Screw driver – Philips #2 ) to install the Processor Box to the inside of the Control Cabinet.
- Page 16 1) Now connect the HDMI cable to the HMI screen, make sure that the cable is pulled through the large middle hole. 2) Now insert all studs through their respective holes, and use provided nuts (Hex-head nut, size 10-32 requiring 3/8” nut driver/wrench) to secure the front to the cabinet. 3) When looking from bottom or top the screen should look like the image below.
