QTERM-A12 Terminal 13
C HAPTER 5
I NSTALLATION
A QTERM-A12 terminal uses a rugged chemical resistant polymer housing and mounting
components. When properly installed in a NEMA-4X rated panel, the QTERM-A12 meets all
NEMA-4X specifications including hose-down, icing and salt spray.
A QTERM-A12 terminal can be installed in either a landscape or portrait orientation. In addi-
tion, the terminal can be installed with or without a front bezel. The model with factory-
installed front bezel is referred to as the standard version and the model without a front bezel is
referred to as the modular version.
The standard version of the QTERM-A12 has a factory-installed front bezel. This bezel has
molded-in studs that are used in combination with a terminal ring to mount the terminal to the
panel.
The modular version of the QTERM-A12 does NOT have a factory-installed front bezel. The
modular version of the terminal is ideal for installations that require a custom front bezel or no
bezel at all. The modular version requires that the mounting studs be integral with the panel
that the terminal will be mounted in.
Take the following steps to install the terminal:
• Decide whether to mount the terminal in portrait or landscape orientation. “Portrait” means
that the longest dimension is vertical; “landscape” means that the longest dimension is hori-
zontal.
• Cut a hole in the panel or drywall. See section 5.1, “Cutting Out for Panel Mount” for spec-
ifications.
• Install the QTERM-A12 terminal in the panel. See section 5.2, “Installing the Terminal” for
instructions.
• Connect cables to the terminal. Verify that the thumb screws are tight or the locks snapped
into place for each cable used.
• Apply DC power to the QTERM-A12 terminal. See Chapter 3, “Applying Power” for infor-
mation.
