Wiring and Safety Guidelines
Install the PanelView 600 terminal using publication 70E, Electrical Safety 
Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA general 
guidelines, follow these recommendations:
•
Connect the PanelView terminal to its own branch circuit.
The input power source should be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker 
rated at no more than 15 amps.
•
Route incoming power to the PanelView 600 terminal by a separate path 
from the communications cable.
•
Where power and communication lines must cross, they should cross at 
right angles. Communications lines can be installed in the same conduit as 
low level DC I/O lines (less than 10 Volts).
•
Grounding minimizes noise from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is 
a safety measure in electrical installations. To avoid EMI, shield and ground 
cables appropriately.
•
A source for grounding recommendations is the National Electrical Code 
published by the National Fire Protection Association of Boston. 
Enclosures
The PanelView 600 terminal must be mounted in an environment that provides 
IEC-1131-2 Pollution degree 2 protection.
Mount the PanelView 600 terminal in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal 
circuitry. The terminal meets NEMA Type 12/13 and 4X (indoor use) ratings only 
when mounted in a panel or enclosure with the equivalent rating.
Allow enough space within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Consider the 
heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient temperature around 
the PV600 terminal must be between 0… 55 
°
C (32…131
°
F).
Make provisions for accessing the back panel of the terminal for wiring, 
maintenance, installing a memory card, and troubleshooting.
Required Tools
Other than the tools required to make the panel cutout, the tools required for 
installation are:
•
small slotted screwdriver.
•
torque wrench (N•m, lb•in). with slotted or phillips head driver.
