Chapter 1 – Hardware Configuration
Before You Begin
Please read the following for proper handling of your new OMI5000 Series Open HMI.
Unpacking the Unit
Carefully unpack the Open HMI. 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 Open HMI. 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 ( FG ) connector of the computer to a clean earth ground

Placing the computer in an anti-static bag during transport
CE Compliance
The OMI5000 Series Open HMIs 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 OMI5000 Series Open HMIs 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 OMI5000 Series
Open HMI.
