GENERAL INFORMATION
This chapter provides instructions on how to
install and wire the STXplus. The STXplus
can be installed in several ways.
Refer to the drawings in Appendix D for
wiring and installation details.
WARNING!
To prevent equipment damage or personal
injury, once the STXplus has been
connected to power:
1. Disconnect power before wiring
anything to the STXplus, adding or
removing PCBs, or mounting the
stand-alone STXplus.
2. Deactivate power to the controlled
devices.
Review all instructions before beginning
installation. Follow all instructions carefully
to ensure the equipment is properly mounted
and wired.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Carefully remove the STXplus from the
shipping container and place it on a flat
surface. Visually inspect for damage that
may have occurred during shipment. If any
damage is evident, note it on the shipping
receipt. Report the damage to the carrier
and to a Kistler-Morse
® representative
immediately. Store the shipping container
and packing material for later use in the
event the equipment must be returned to
the factory.
MOUNTING THE STXPLUS
Do not mount the STXplus near high power
equipment, contactors, SCR drives, 440V
lines, etc. Refer to Appendix A for
environmental specifications before
mounting.
Stand-Alone STXplus with
Customer-Supplied Panel/Enclosure
Mount the STXplus in an enclosure in an area
suitable for the device. The STXplus
dimensions are shown on Drawing
TI-SP.STXP-01 in Appendix D.
Stand-Alone STXplus with Kistler-Morse ®
Supplied Enclosure

is enough clearance to open the front door
completely. The enclosure dimensions are
shown on Drawing TI-SP.STX-01 in
Appendix D.
NOTE
Mounting feet are supplied by Kistler-Morse

Drilling Holes in the Enclosure
CAUTION
Remove the electronics before drilling
enclosure holes. Drill holes through the
bottom or side of the enclosure. DO NOT
drill holes throught the top as this may allow
moisture seepage, which can damage the
electronics and void the warranty.
Follow this procedure to mount the STXplus:
1. Hold the enclosure against the wall in the
desired location and mark the positions of
the mounting holes. Place the enclosure
in a safe place.
2. Drill the mounting holes in the wall.
3. Attach the enclosure to the wall.
The STXplus NEMA-rated enclosure has no
openings through which to route cables or
install conduit. Before you begin wiring, drill
entry holes through the enclosure where it is
