Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the panel cutout is prepared according to manufacturer specifications to maintain the NEMA/IP rating of the enclosure.
• Mount the terminal in a location with adequate ventilation to maintain operating temperatures within the 0 to 55 deg C range.
• Use shielded communication cables and ensure proper grounding of the chassis to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Verify that the AC power source is stable and within the 85-264 VAC range before connecting.
• Always power down the unit before performing any maintenance or cable connections to prevent electrical damage.
• Handle the touchscreen with care; avoid using sharp objects that may damage the resistive overlay.
