Installation
CE Compliance
The HMC7000 Series Graphic HMCs have been tested to conform to European CE requirements, which meet or exceed
the noise emissions and immunity requirements as set forth in the EN55022 (Emissions) and EN55024 (Immunity)
standards. The 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 guide for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of your
graphic HMC.
Environmental Considerations
The HMC7000 Series is designed to operate in temperatures from 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F). It is intended for indoor
installations and may not be suitable for use in certain outdoor applications. Make sure
that the unit is installed correctly
and that the operating limits are adhered to (see Specifications from Maple Systems website). Avoid installing the
HMC7000 Series in environments with severe mechanical vibration or shocks. Do not install the HMC in enclosures with
rapid temperature variations or high humidity. Either will cause condensation of water inside the device and eventual
damage to the HMC.
Highly humid areas are also to be avoided. High humidity causes condensation of water in the unit.
Do not operate the HMC7000 Series in areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable gases, vapors or dusts.
NEMA Rating
The HMC7000 Series is rated for NEMA 4/12 (indoor) or IP66 installations. This means that when the HMC is properly
mounted to a NEMA 4 panel or other NEMA 4 rated enclosure, the front enclosure of the HMC will provide protection to
the inside of the panel from splashing water, wind-blown dust, rain, or hose-directed water. The HMC must be installed
according to the instructions in this manual to be properly sealed.
Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when installing the HMC. Failure to comply with these restrictions could result
in loss of life, serious personal injury, or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not operate the HMC in areas subject to explosion due to flammable gases, vapors, or
dusts
Warning: Do not connect the HMC to an AC power source. You will cause permanent damage to the
HMC.
Warning: Do not attempt to use a DC power supply that does not meet HMC power requirements. You
may cause malfunction or permanent damage to the HMC.
Warning: Do not power the HMC with a DC power supply used for inductive loads or for input
circuitry to the programmable logic controller. Severe voltage spikes caused by these devices may
damage the HMC.
