Chapter 2: Installation
This section describes the installation and wiring of a standard 1995A Micro-Set PLS. Changes to
these instructions should be made as necessary if special options and/or equipment are used.
The 1995A Micro-Set should be installed in an area free of water spray, corrosive gases, flying chips
or other foreign matter. The operating temperature should be between 32 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit,
with less than 95% relative humidity.
2.1: Mechanical Installation
Mounting the 1995 Micro-Set PLS
The 1995A Micro-Set PLS is designed to be panel mounted. The face of the 1995A can be affected
by water and/or oil spray. Provisions should be made to protect the face of the unit from spraying or
splashing.
Panel cutouts, mounting holes, and sizes for each component are shown on Pages 6 and 7 of the 1995A
catalog section.
The controller should be mounted in the appropriate panel cutout and securely bolted into place using
the four (4) 3/16" diameter mounting holes.
NOTE: In instances where the 1995A is being mounted directly on a mechanical stamping press, care
should be taken to isolate the controller from shock load and vibration.
It is always good design practice to mount the controller in the enclosure as far away from the motor
starters and control relays as possible to minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Interconnecting wiring also should be routed to minimize EMI coupling.
Mounting the Transducer
The transducer should be mounted securely to the machine in such a manner so as to minimize shock
and vibration. The transducer should be coupled to the moving machine member, thus reducing
excessive axial and radial loads. Coupling methods should minimize backlash and be in accordance
with the system accuracy required.
