OIT3200/3250 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Maple Systems OIT3200 or OIT3250. You have selected a rugged, reliable, and powerful operator interface for your application. This booklet describes the steps necessary to ensure trouble-free OIT system operation. Please read this booklet carefully!!
OIT3200/3250 1. 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. SHIELDED POWER CABLE GROUND STRAP CONTROL PANEL TIED TO RELIABLE...
INSTALLATION MANUAL • A power line filter installed at the AC input to the OIT power supply is highly recommended as a safeguard against conducted RF noise, which is often present on factory power lines. The wires connecting the output of the power line filter to the power supply should be kept as short as possible to minimize any additional noise pickup.
Replace the rear cover and the six retaining screws. 2.2. Prepare Panel for OIT Mounting The OIT3200 and OIT3250 are mounted to a control panel from the front. For a proper NEMA 4/12 seal, you will need a panel with a minimum thickness of 16-gauge (0.059 inches;...

18AWG Green Wire Assembly Quick-Disconnect end (Supplied with Unit) Figure 6 OIT3200/3250 Chassis Ground STEPS 1. Remove the mounting nut from the lower right hand stud, as viewed from the rear. To install the green ground wire assembly, slip the #8 ring lug over the stud.
Figure 7 OIT3200/3250 Power Supply Connection STEPS Plug the orange connector on Maple Systems Cable 7431-0050A into the power connector on the OIT. Route the power cable to the OIT power supply. The power cable should not be any longer than necessary. If needed: a) cut the power supply cable to the appropriate length.
Each PLC/host supported by Maple Systems has its own wiring requirements. Maple Systems offers pre-constructed OIT-to-PLC communication cables for most PLCs. Most cables are available for same day shipment from Maple Systems. They are built and tested for high reliability and are strongly recommended. Maple Systems also builds custom cables—contact the factory for information.
RS-232 serial communications cable (P/N 7431-0049, purchased separately from Maple Systems). The configuration cable should be connected to the proper COM port on your computer, then attached to Port 1 on the OIT3200. See Figure 10 below for Port 1 pin assignments.
OIT3200/3250 3.2. Connect OIT3250 to PC for Configuration To configure the OIT3250 using Maple Systems’ configuration software, a second serial port (Port 2) is provided which allows you to connect a computer while using the first port (Port 1) to connect to the PLC/host. Connect the OIT to the computer using an RS-232 serial communications cable (P/N 7431-0049, purchased separately from Maple Systems).
INSTALLATION MANUAL 4. OIT3250 Special Features 4.1. Connecting to Printer The second serial port of the OIT3250 is also used to connect to a serial printer. This feature enables the OIT to print messages. The OIT 3250 uses XON/XOFF software handshaking to communicate to the printer. The communications parameters (ex.
OIT3200/3250 The OIT3250 features a bypass mode which allows most PLC/host programming software to communicate through the OIT to the PLC/host without having to disconnect the cables from the OIT. Bypass mode does not work with PLC programming software that uses hardware handshaking or 3-wire RS-485 connections.
INSTALLATION MANUAL 4.4. Battery Replacement The OIT3250 is shipped with a 3V lithium coin cell battery installed for backing up the real-time clock. During periods of power loss, the coin cell will allow the internal clock to continue to run and keep accurate time. As long as power is applied to the OIT, the battery will not be drained.
OIT3200/3250 5. Custom Keypad Slide-In Legends The OIT3200 and OIT3250 have a graphic overlay covering the keypad. This overlay contains clear windows that allow you to insert your own legends to customize the text, color, and graphics of the twelve function keys and add your own logo or model identification.

OIT3200/3250 5.2. Creating Computer-Generated Slide-In Legends The dimensions in Figure 17 can be used to create computer generated legends. When creating: • Dimensions are in inches [mm]. • Background colors should extend to the solid lines. • All text and graphics should be within the dashed rectangles.
INSTALLATION MANUAL 5.3. Installing the Slide-In Legends To replace the factory installed legends with your own: Ensure all paints, ink and fixative are thoroughly dry and will not transfer. Place the unit face down on a clean protective surface. Remove the four mounting nuts, which hold the bezel (frame) to the main assembly, from the back of the unit.
