Chapter 1 - Installation Instructions
Before You Begin
Please read the following for proper handling of your new Panel PC.
Unpacking the Unit
Carefully unpack the Panel PC. Please read any instructions or cautions that appear on the shipping container.
Check all material in the container against the enclosed packing list. Maple Systems, Inc. will not accept
responsibility for shortages against the packing list unless notified within 30 days. The equipment and its
accessories were inspected and tested by Maple Systems before shipment; all of the equipment should be in good
working order. Examine the equipment carefully; if any shipping damage is evident, notify the carrier immediately.
You are responsible for claim negotiations with the carrier. Save the shipping container and packing material in
case the equipment needs to be stored, returned to Maple Systems, or transported for any reason.
Managing Electrostatic Discharge
It is best NOT to remove the rear enclosure of the Panel PC. When the rear part of the enclosure is removed, the
circuitry inside is exposed to possible damage by electrostatic discharge during handling. Minimize the possibility
of electrostatic discharge by:

Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to handling the computer

Handling the computer at a static-free grounded workstation

Connecting the frame ground ( ) connector of the computer to a clean earth ground

Placing the computer in an anti-static bag during transport
CE Compliance
The PC100 Series Panel PCs have been tested to conform to European CE requirements per Council Directive
89/336/EEC. The European Union created these requirements to ensure conformity among products traded in those
countries. Specifically, the PC100 Series Panel PCs meet or exceed the noise emissions and immunity requirements
as set forth in the EN50081 (Emissions) and EN50082 (Immunity) standards. These products are designed to
withstand electrical noise in harsh industrial environments. They also conform to requirements that limit electrical
emissions; however, this does not guarantee that the products will be totally immune from possible malfunction in
cases where severe electrical noise occurs. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
outlined in this chapter for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of the PC100 Series
Panel PC.
NEMA Rating
The PC100 Series Panel PCs are rated for NEMA 4 (indoor). This means that when the Panel PC is properly
mounted to a panel or other enclosure, the front enclosure of the Panel PC will provide protection to the inside of
the panel from splashing water, windblown dust, or hose-directed water. The Panel PC must be installed according
to the instructions in this chapter to be properly sealed.
