INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
Before installing the Legend into the panel, the user should first become familiar
with the unit. Also, it may be desirable to program the unit and set the appropriate
DIP switches for the application. When programming is complete, all parameters
will be saved in nonvolatile memory. The Program Disable DIP switch used with
an external User Input, programmed for the program disable function, provides
various levels of security to prevent accidental or unauthorized programming
changes. The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the
maximum operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the
unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the
aging process of the bezel.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad of the unit.
INSTALLATION
The unit meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements for indoor use when properly
installed. The units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel with a
gasket to provide a water-tight seal. Two mounting clips and screws are
provided for easy installation. Consideration should be given to the thickness
of the panel. A panel that is too thin may distort and not provide a water-tight
seal, therefore the recommended minimum panel thickness is 1/8" (3.2 mm).
The recommended clearance behind the panel for mounting clip installation is
3.0" (6.45 cm) H x 4.0" (10.16 cm) W.
After the panel cut-out is completed and deburred, carefully apply the gasket
to the panel. DO NOT APPLY THE ADHESIVE SIDE OF THE GASKET TO
THE BEZEL. Insert the unit into the panel as depicted in the drawing. Thread
the screws into the clips until the pointed end just protrudes through the other
side. Install each mounting clip by inserting the case tabs of the clip into the
holes, located on either side of the bezel.
Then snap the rear end of the clip into the case and slide the clip towards the
rear of the unit, locking it in place. Tighten the screws evenly to apply uniform
compression, thus providing a water-tight seal.
CAUTION: Only minimum pressure is required to seal panel. Do NOT over
tighten screws.
