Please read the documentation for the external devices prior to connecting them!
During thunderstorms, plug connector must neither be inserted nor removed!
When disconnecting a plug connector, always handle it at the plug. Do not pull the cable!
4.5.1 Connecting cables
The connections are located at the rear side of the Panel PC behind a cover and are documented in the
chapter
When connecting cables to the Panel PC, please adhere to the following order:
• Disconnect the Panel PC from the power supply.
• Connect all cables at the Panel PC and at the devices to be connected.
• Ensure that all screw connections between connectors and sockets are tight!
• Reconnect all devices to the power supply.
4.5.2 Earthing measures
Earthing connections dissipate interference from external power supply cables, signal cables or cables to
peripheral equipment. Establish a low-impedance connection from the earthing point on the Panel PC
housing (see chapter
) to the central earthing point on the control cabinet wall, in
which the computer is being installed.
Malfunction possible with missing ground connection
Note
A proper ground connection of the device is absolutely necessary for the correct
function of the touchscreen.
