Environmental Considerations
The RMI5001 is designed to be mounted inside an enclosure rated for
the installation.
The RMI5001 operates in temperatures from -20° to 55°C (-4° to 131°F).
It is intended for indoor installations and may not be suitable for use in
certain outdoor applications. Avoid installing the RMI5001 in
environments with severe mechanical vibration or shocks. Do not install
the HMI in enclosures with rapid temperature variations or high humidity.
Either case will cause condensation of water inside the device and
eventual damage to the HMI.
Warning: Do not operate the HMI in areas subject to explosion
due to flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.
Warning: Conform to UL508 (ISBN 0-7629-0404-6) machine
safety standards for use in Pollution Degree 2 Environments.
Warning: If wiring can potentially be exposed to lightning or
power surges, use appropriate surge suppression devices.
Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when installing the HMI.
Failure to comply with these restrictions could result in loss of life,
serious personal injury, or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not connect the HMI to an AC power source. This
will cause permanent damage to the HMI.
Warning: A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in
any system using an HMI to comply with ICS Safety
Recommendations.
Warning: Do not attempt to use a DC power supply that does
not meet HMI power requirements. You may cause malfunction
or permanent damage to the HMI.
Warning: Do not power the HMI with a DC power supply used
for inductive loads or for input circuitry to the programmable logic
controller. Severe voltage spikes caused by these devices may
damage the HMI.
Control Panel Design Guidelines
Pay careful attention to the placement of system components and
associated cable routing. These items can significantly enhance the
performance and integrity of your control application.
