To maintain IP65 protection level during panel installation, pay attention to the following points: • make the edges of the hole for the panel perfectly smooth and flat • tighten each fastening screw The terminals also have an O-Ring inserted at the rear of the display frames. Figure 7 - O-Ring cover Cleaning the device Clean the device only with a soft cloth and non-abrasive neutral soap.

3.4.1 Power supply port The internal power supply 24Vdc is galvanically isolated and protected against polarity reversal and short circuits. The panel has a power terminal. The connector diagram is shown in Figure 11 Note: check that the power supply is able to deliver the power needed for correct operation of the device. The device must always be grounded.
3.4.2 RS-485 port The terminal uses the RS-485 port to dialog according to OSI specifications at the physical level defined by stan- dard EIA-485. The RS-485 port is optically isolated and allows dialog from 9.6 kBaud to 115 kBaud via an RJ10 4p4c connector (Registered Jack type 10 with 4 positions and 4 contacts).
3.4.4 USB port The USB port dialog via USB (Universal Serial Bus) serial communication standard. The terminals support version USB 2.0. The USB port connector is type USB-A (4 pins). Signal assignment is shown in Table 7. Voltage for VBUS is +5V with maximum current of 500mA. Signals D+ and D- refer to the two (pseudo) differential data communication lines.
