2.0 Installation Instructions

2.1 Mounting Instructions
2.1.1 Location Considerations

Care should be taken when locating equipment behind the unit to ensure that AC power wiring, PLC
output modules, contactors, starters and relays, and any other source of electrical interference are located
away from the back of the unit.

Particular note should be taken to the position of variable speed drives and switching power supplies.
Their input and load cables should be screened to a central star earth point.

2.1.2 Making a NEMA-4 Mounting
Panel The unit can be mounted into panels with a depth of 4”(105mm). It is recommended that
Details the unit be mounted on the front panel of a steel enclosure, through an appropriate
opening*. Allow a clearance of 1”(25mm) around the sides of the unit for mounting
hardware. Allow clearance for cable connections to the back of the unit. Unit depth may
vary according to cable type used. Typically, plan a depth to accommodate at least
4”(105mm) behind the panel.
NEMA-4 Put the unit through the panel cut out. Slide the clamps (packed with product) into the 8
Mounting holes provided around the case. Tighten the clamping screws in an even pattern until the
unit is secured in the panel. Screw Torque: 2.6~3.5 lbf.in. (For reaching waterproof effect
and to prevent the panel from being deformed.)
VESA There are 4 holes on back panel for locking VESA, The screw: M4P0.7mm, length: shorter
Mounting
then 8.0mm, and screw torque: 2.6 lbf.in.
Caution! Do not over tighten mounting clamps!
Note: Specifications
Note: To seal to NEMA-4 specifications, all supplied mounting clamps must be used and
panel cannot flex more than 0.010”.
2.1.3 Environmental Considerations
z The MT-600/8000 are to be used indoors as built in displays. Make sure that the displays
are installed correctly and that the operating limits are followed (See Specifications).
z Do not operate the unit in areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable gases,
vapors or dusts.
z The unit should not be installed where fast temperature variations and/or high humidity
are present. This will cause condensation of water in the device.
z Do not install these terminals in environments where have inflammable gases.

2.2 Power Connections

Make sure that all local and national electrical standards are met when the installing the unit.
Contact your local authorities to determine which codes apply.
2.2.1 Power Requirements

Power The MT-600/8000 can be powered by DC power only. The specified voltage
range is 24±20% Volts DC. This insures compatibility with most controller
DC systems.
The power conditioning circuitry inside the unit is accomplished by a
switching power supply. The peak starting current can be as high as 700mA.
Fusing If the display does not come on within 5 seconds of power up, remove
Requirements power. An internal fuse will prevent damage if the polarity of the DC power
is incorrect. Check wiring to insure proper connections and try to power up
again.
Caution An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage condition however it
High Voltage isn’t guaranteed.
DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from main AC power
and similar hazards.

 Caution A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in any system using an
Emergency MT-600/8000 to comply with ICS Safety Recommendations.
Stop
Caution Do not power the MT-600/8000 and inductive DC loads, or input circuitry
Supply Voltage to the controller, with the same power supply. Note: The 24 VDC output
Condition from some controllers may not have enough current to power the
MT-600/8000.
Caution Wire lengths should be minimized (Maximum 1600’ (500 m) shielded,
Wire Routing 1000’ (300 m) unshielded).
Wires should be run in pairs with a neutral or common paired with a hot or
signal line.
If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, use appropriate surge
suppression devices.
Keep AC, high energy, and rapidly switching DC wiring separate from
signal wires.
Equip ungrounded DC supplies with a resistor and capacitor in parallel to
earth ground. This provides a path for static and high frequency dissipation.
Typical values to use are 1MOhm and 4700pF.
To prevent the HMI from becoming damaged or having sound output issues,
Caution after turning the device off, please wait 10 seconds before turning the device
on again.

Connection To make a connection, strip about 3/8” of insulation off the end of the wire,
turn the connector screw counterclockwise until the gap is wide open, insert
the wire all the way in, and turn the screw clockwise until it’s tight.
Connect positive DC line to the ‘+24V’ terminal and the DC ground to the
‘0V‘ terminal.
2.2.2 Grounding Requirements
Chassis ground must be used. DC ground is not directly coupled to Earth
ground internally. It is preferable not to ground DC negative return to chassis
ground as poor site earths can introduce noise into a system, but if necessary
an earth connection should be made, from the power supply return point to
the central star earth point. Ground conductors should be as short and as large
in size as possible. The conductors must always be large enough to carry the
maximum short circuit current of the path being considered. Ground
conductors should be connected to a tree from a central star earth ground
point. This ensures that no ground conductor carries current from any other
branch.

2.2.3 CE Requirements

To make an MT-600/8000 comply with EMC directives, and to reduce susceptibility to electrical
interference, a separate #14 AWG ground wire should be taken to the chassis ground terminal of the
power connector. This ground connection should be run directly to the central star earth connection
point (as recommended in most Installation Instructions).

2.2.4 Safety Guidelines

This section presents recommended installation practices, and procedures. Since no two
applications are identical, these recommendations should be considered as guidelines.

Hardware WARNING!
Considerations
The system designer should be aware that devices in Controller systems could
fail and thereby create an unsafe condition. Furthermore, electrical
interference in an operator interface, such as an MT-600/8000, can lead to
equipment start-up, which could result in property damage and/or physical
injury to the equipment operator.
3
 If you, or your company, use any programmable control systems that require
an operator or attendant, you should be aware that this potential safety hazard
exists and take appropriate precautions. Although the specific design steps
depend on your particular application, the following precautions generally
apply to installation of solid-state programmable control devices. In addition,
these precautions conform to the guidelines for installation of Controllers as
recommended in the NEMA ICS 3-304 Control Standards.
Programming To conform with ICS Safety Recommendations, checks should be placed
Considerations in the controller to ensure that all writable registers that control critical
parts of plant or machinery have limit checks built into the program, with
an out-of-limit safe shut down procedure to ensure safety of personnel.
ICS 3-304.81 Safety Recommendations:
Consideration should be given to the use of an emergency stop function, which is independent of the programmable
controller.
Where the operator is exposed to the machinery, such as in loading or unloading a machine tool, or where the machine
cycles automatically, consideration should be given to the use of an electromechanical override or other redundant means,
independent of the programmable controller, for starting and interrupting the cycle.
If provision is required for changing programs while the equipment is in operation, consideration should be given to the
use of locks or other means of assuring that only authorized personnel can make such changes.
These recommendations are intended as safeguards against the failure of critical components and the effects of such
failures or the inadvertent errors that might be introduced if programs are changed while the equipment is in operation. *
