Mounting Controller Components
Install the controller in a location free from excessive heat
(>50º C), dust and unauthorized handling. Electromagnetic
and radio frequency interference can induce noise on sen-
sor wiring. Choose locations for the CPC400 and TB50 such
that wiring can be routed clear of sources of interference
such as high voltage wires, power switching devices and
motors.
NOTE! For indoor use only.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install
the CPC400 in a controlled environment, relative-
ly free of contaminants.
Recommended Tools
Use any of the following tools to cut a hole of the appropri-
ate size in the panel.
• Jigsaw and metal file, for stainless steel and heavy-
weight panel doors.
• Greenlee 1/8-DIN rectangular punch (Greenlee part
number 600-68), for most panel materials and thick-
nesses.
• Nibbler and metal file, for aluminum and lightweight
panel doors.
You will also need these tools:
• Phillips head screwdriver
• 1/8-inch (3 mm) flathead screwdriver for wiring
• Multimeter
Mounting the Controller
Mount the controller before you mount the terminal block
or do any wiring. The controller’s placement affects place-
ment and wiring considerations for the other components
of your system.
Ensure that there is enough clearance for mounting brack-
ets, terminal blocks, and cable and wire connections. The
controller extends up to 7.0 inches (178 mm) behind the
panel face and the screw brackets extend 0.5 inch (13 mm)
above and below it. If using a straight SCSI cable, allow for
an additional 1.6 inches (41 mm) beyond the terminal
block. If using a right-angle SCSI cable, allow an additional
0.6 inch (15 mm). Refer to Figure 2.2.
