5 The installation and operational environmentmust be maintained per the latest revision of these are responsible to determine the codes to be followed and to verify thecompliance of equipment, installation, and operation with the latest revision ofthese codes. It is an absolute must to follow all applicable sections of:-The National Fire Code-The National Electrical Code (NEC)-The National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) codesSafety GuidelinesSafety is the most important element of a proper system installation. Adheringto these safety considerations ensures the safety of yourself and others, as wellas the condition of your equipment. We recommend reviewing the followingsafety guidelines:1)Disconnecting Main PowerThe main power switch should be easily accessible to the operators andmaintenance personnel. It is important to make sure that all othersources of power including pneumatic and hydraulic are de-energizedbefore starting the work on a machine or process controlled by the )Safety CircuitsMost of the machines are installed with safety circuits such as limitswitches, emergency stop push buttons, and interlocks.

6 These circuitsshould always be hardwired directly to the UT3 unit. These devices mustbe wired in Series so that when any one device opens, the unit isautomatically de-energized. This removes power to the machine. Thesecircuits should not be altered in any case, since this could result in seriousinjury or damage to the )Fail-Safe OperationOur products are not fault-tolerant. They are not designed or intendedfor use as online control equipment in hazardous environments requiringfail-safe performance, such as in operation of nuclear facilities, aircraftnavigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life-support machines, weapons systems, clutch control systems on presses, inwhich the failure of the product could lead directly to death, personalinjury or severe physical or environmental damage. External fail-safe and/or redundant components are required to make your control system fail-safe. UT3 Series7 / 34 Installation ConsiderationsOur products have been designed and tested for operation in the mostdemanding industrial environments.

7 Modern solid-state industrial controls arecomplex electronic equipment that operate at low levels of voltage and current,co-existing with components that operate at much higher levels of power. Thedifference in operating power characteristics between the high and low powercontrol devices creates the possibility of unwanted signals being generated, thuscausing interference. The interference, which is a by-product of electrical noise,is not present at all times. However, if it appears at random and for brief periodsof time, it can cause disruptions and errors in the operation of a control system. Enhancement of a system's noise level immunity and its tolerance to otherenvironmental hazards can be accomplished by following proper systeminstallation guidelines. The recommendations are of a general nature andconstitute good industrial installation Environmental ConsiderationsAvoid installing the UT3 unit in areas where the following conditions may exist:oEnvironmental temperatures above or below those specified for theUT3 unitoProlonged exposure to humidity and liquids which may be sprayed orsplashed on the equipmentoDusty environments where airborne particles may accumulate onequipment causing reduction of heat dissipation and reduction ineffective electrical spacing between componentsoAreas with excessive vibrationoAreas with high-radiated electrical noise, such as near fields oftransmitting antennas and areas in close proximity of arc weldingstationsPhysical Layout in a Control CabinetWhen possible, cabinets housing electronic equipment should be designed withprovisions for natural or forced ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation.

8 Observe the following rules for cabinet installation:oHeat generating equipment(power supplies and other heatinducing components) shouldbe installed toward the top ofthe cabinet. The lower space inthe cabinet is cooler than thetop heat-sensitivecomponents in the enough space betweencomponents to allow a freeflow of air for better heat the maximum possible physical separation between solid stateand electromechanical controls. If possible, the electromechanicalUT3 Series8 / 34controls (motors, starters, solenoids, etc.) should be housed separatelyor at the farthest point when enclosed within the cabinet. We recommend that the unit has a minimum clear space of 2" on all sidesfor adequate ventilation as shown in the image on the right. Electrical ConsiderationsThis section is designed to provide you with a very basic understanding ofelectrical noise and how to keep it away from CPUs. Industrial plants have anumber of generators of electrical noise that are sometimes also referred to asRadio Frequency Interference (RFI).

9 Anytime an inductive load like a motor,motor starter, or solenoid is turned off, it generates a burst of excess energythat has to flow back to ground, just like electrical energy from a lightning stormhas to flow back to Earth. RFI is short bursts of electrical energy at very highfrequencies. Other sources include RF Welders or Radio of RFI on Electronic Automation EquipmentElectronic controls use faster and faster CPUs today. These CPUs are alsooperating at to 5 VDC logic level power supply. RFI, if allowed to enter theCPU inside, is a killer of logic. A CPU under this environment loses its brain andbehaves erratically. A smart industrial-grade CPU like the unit's card engine,when faced with RFI, halts its operation instead of giving false of RFIRFI enters electronic controls in two ways: radiated RFI or conducted RFI. Formost practical purposes, electronic devices, unless sitting right next to apowerful RFI transmitter, will not be affected by noise because air space severelyattenuates such interference.

10 On the other hand, conducted RFI travels overconductive surfaces such as power supply wires, electrical wiring of field devices,and worst of all; improper ground cabinets usually incorporate one or two doors and/or hinged cabinetpanels. Relying on door hinges and swinging panels for a good metallic bondbetween hinged parts and the main body of the cabinet does not insureadequate grounding. Instead, the use of ground straps is recommended. It isvital for the reliable operation of any electronic device to have any of its metallicsurfaces well grounded to Earth. This not only provides for safe operation, it willalso drain out any conducted RFI to Earth, away from the CPU's signal ground. UT3 Series9 / 34 Shielding from RFIS hielded CablesPower cables, I/O cables or wiring, and communication cables should all beseparate so that they do not couple the conducted RFI on any of these wires/cables. Another path for RFI into the PLC is through its RS232 port. Hence, thecables to this port must be shielded CabinetsAs mentioned, equipment cabinets typically incorporate one or two doors and/or hinged cabinet panels.
