Installation manual for the E1000 series operator panels

Foreword
The E1000 operator panel is developed to satisfy the demands of
human-machine communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and control-
ling text, dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.

The operator panel work, for the most part, in an object-oriented way, making it easy
to understand and use. The configuration operation of the panel is made in a person-
al computer, using the configuration tool E-Designer. The project is then transferred
and stored in the operator panel.

The operator panel can be connected to many types of automation equipment, such
as PLCs, servos or drives. In this manual the expression “the controller“ is used as a
general term for the connected equipment.

This manual explains how to install the operator panel. Please refer to the reference
manual for further information.

 Safety Precautions

1 Safety Precautions
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of the operator panel must read and
understand this installation manual.

1.1 UL and cUL Installation

– This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D
OR non-hazardous locations only. [Combinations of equipment in your system
are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time
of installation.]
– Maximum ambient temperature 40 °C when mounted horizontal or 50 °C when
mounted vertical.
– WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect equipment unless
power has been removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
– For Canada also AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION – AVANT DE
DECONNECTER L’EQUIPEMENT, COUPER LE COURANT OU
S’ASSURER QUE L‘EMPLACEMENT EST DESIGNE NON DANGEREUX.
– WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD - Substitution of components may
impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
– For Canada also AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION – LA
SUBSTITUTION DE COMPOSANTS PEUT RENDRE CE MATERIEL
INACCEPTABLE POUR LES EMPLACEMENTS DE CLASSE I,
DIVISION 2.
– WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – only the following type of expansion
unit are allowed to be connected to the port designated “EXPANSION”:
- at the moment there are no such units evaluated or allowed.
– WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not replace expansion unit unless
power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
– This product contains battery, this must only be changed in an area known to be
non-hazardous. Permitted types are shown in the installation manual.

1.2 General
– Only qualified personnel may install or operate the operator panel.
– The operator panel must be installed according to the installation instructions.
– The operator panel is designed for stationary installation on a plane surface, where
the following conditions are fulfilled:
• no high explosive risks
• no strong magnetic fields
• no direct sunlight
• no large, sudden temperature changes
– Never allow fluids, metal filings or wiring debris to enter any openings in the
operator panel. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
– The operator panel fulfills the requirements of article 5 of EMC directive
2004/108/EC.

 Safety Precautions

– Storing the operator panel where the temperature is lower/higher than

recommended in this manual can cause the LCD display liquid to congeal/become
isotopic.
– The LCD display liquid contains a powerful irritant. In case of skin contact, wash
immediately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, hold the eye open, flush
with plenty of water and get medical attention.
– The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered or reconstructed equipment.
– Use only parts and accessories manufactured according to specifications of the
supplier.
– Peripheral equipment must be appropriate for the application and location.
– The figures in this manual serves an illustrative purpose. Because of the many
variables associated with any particular installation, the supplier cannot assume
responsibility for actual use based on the figures.
– The supplier neither guarantees that the operator panel is suitable for your
particular application, nor assumes responsibility for your product design,
installation or operation.

1.3 During Use

– Keep the operator panel clean.
– Emergency stop and other safety functions may not be controlled from the
operator panel.
– Do not use too much force or sharp objects when touching the keys, display etc.

1.4 Service and Maintenance

– Only qualified personnel should carry out repairs.
– The agreed warranty applies.
– Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the
equipment from the electrical supply.
– Clean the display and surrounding front cover with a soft cloth and mild
detergent.
– Replacing the battery incorrectly may result in explosion. Only use batteries
recommended by the supplier.

1.5 Dismantling and Scrapping

– The operator panel or parts thereof shall be recycled according to local regulations.
– The following components contain substances that might be hazardous to health

0.5 - 1.0 Nm

4. Connect the cables in the specified order.

A Caution
Ensure that the operator panel and the controller system have the
same electrical grounding (reference voltage level), otherwise errors
in communication may occur.

B Use an M5 screw and a grounding conductor (as short as possible)

with a cross-section of minimum 2.5 mm2.
C Caution
- Use only shielded communication cables.
- Separate high voltage cables from signal and supply cables.

D Caution
- The operator panel must be brought to ambient temperature
before it is started up. If condensation forms, ensure that the
operator panel is dry before connecting it to the power outlet.
- Ensure that the voltage and polarity of the power source is correct.
