Chapter 2: Installation

This section describes the installation and wiring of a standard 1995A Micro-Set PLS. Changes to

these instructions should be made as necessary if special options and/or equipment are used.

The 1995A Micro-Set should be installed in an area free of water spray, corrosive gases, flying chips

or other foreign matter. The operating temperature should be between 32 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit,

with less than 95% relative humidity.

2.1: Mechanical Installation

Mounting the 1995 Micro-Set PLS

The 1995A Micro-Set PLS is designed to be panel mounted. The face of the 1995A can be affected

by water and/or oil spray. Provisions should be made to protect the face of the unit from spraying or

splashing.

Panel cutouts, mounting holes, and sizes for each component are shown on Pages 6 and 7 of the 1995A

catalog section.

The controller should be mounted in the appropriate panel cutout and securely bolted into place using

the four (4) 3/16" diameter mounting holes.

NOTE: In instances where the 1995A is being mounted directly on a mechanical stamping press, care

should be taken to isolate the controller from shock load and vibration.

It is always good design practice to mount the controller in the enclosure as far away from the motor

starters and control relays as possible to minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Interconnecting wiring also should be routed to minimize EMI coupling.

Mounting the Transducer

The transducer should be mounted securely to the machine in such a manner so as to minimize shock

and vibration. The transducer should be coupled to the moving machine member, thus reducing

excessive axial and radial loads. Coupling methods should minimize backlash and be in accordance

with the system accuracy required.
