ELECTRICAL PARTS IN ANY CASE. IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EU RULES AND THE EMC DIRECTIVES, PLEASE REMIND THAT THE PTec CONTROLLER IS DESIGNED TO BE INCORPORATED ON MACHINES OR INTEGRATED ON CONTROL PANELS AND THEREFORE IS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPONENT. THE MACHINE INSTALLATOR SHALL PROVIDE FOR THE GUARANTEE OF COMPLIANCE OF ITS EQUIPMENT TO SUCH RULES.
I/O and the control panel. The control panel is used to set the parameters values and read the information about the unit status. The PTec is provided with Modbus connection to dialog with the powered load and with a supervising remote device.
4. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The Ptec controller is designed to be wall fixed. The Ptec box is in IP55 protection plastic. Anyway protect it from corrosive liquids, gas, heat sources and rays of sunlight. Make sure that it does not undergo vibrations. For the cabling, standard version is provided with two 20,5mm diameter holes and four 12mm diameter holes.
