- Pay attention to the „Five Safety Rules“ (DIN VDE 0105, EN 50110).
- Before installation, make sure that all connecting cables of the device are undamaged.
Avoid damage to the panel!
- The panel may only be installed in landscape format and parallel to the wall to ensure ventilation of the computer in the panel by convection.
- Tip: Further instructions for surface mounting or mounting using adapters are supplied with the respective surface-mounted frame or adapter.
Preparation
Note: We recommend securing the panel since in rare cases the panel must be completely disconnected from the power supply.
Necessary accessories for the installation of the panel:
- Flush-mounted box (PNX12-10004) or surface-mounted frame (PNX12-10005)
- Glass cover
- The power supply unit 24 V DC for DIN rail (PNX12-10010) (recommended) or
- The power supply unit 24 V DC for the flush-mounted box (PNX12-10011)
Flush-mounted installation
Tip: Choose the installation height of the panel according to the height of the primary user so that the top edge of the panel is at his/her eye level. A slightly lower screen prevents fatigue of the arms during operation.
Installation in brickwork
- Make a recess of H x W: 194 x 252 mm in the wall. Therefore, use the template provided. The flush-mounted box must later be flush with the plastered wall.
- Depending on the cable position, press the circular plates at the top or bottom out of the box and insert the supplied self-sealing grommets to prevent damage to the cable.
- When inserting the flush-mounted box, route the supply and communication cables (Ether-net, KNX) through different holes in the flush-mounted box to avoid possible interference.
- Use the template as a splash guard during the filling of the edges.
Installation in a cavity wall
- Make a recess of H x W: 194 x 252 mm in the wall. Therefore, use the template supplied. The flush-mounted box must later be flush with the plastered wall.
- Glue or screw the two wooden blocks supplied into the cavity wall.
- Depending on the cable position, press the circular plates at the top or bottom out of the box and insert the supplied self-sealing grommets to prevent damage to the cable.
- When inserting the flush-mounted box, route the supply and communication cables (Ether-net, KNX) through different holes in the flush-mounted box to avoid possible interference.
- Screw the flush-mounted box on the sides to the wooden blocks using the four screws.
- Use the template as a splash guard during the filling of the edges.
Mounting the voltage source
Note: In case a power supply unit is used in the flush-mounted box, you will find the corre-sponding instructions in the manual
Warning Avoid electric shock when touching live parts!
- Disconnect all associated circuit breakers before working on the device.
