The S600+ installation must conform to all applicable local codes and regulations. All installation procedures should be in accordance with normal practices of good workmanship. Although the S600+ shipped to you may not include all of the hardware options described in this manual, the procedure for the basic installation of the unit remains the same.

Note: We strongly recommend you familiarize yourself with the procedures described in this chapter before you begin to install the S600+.

The S600+ uses a modular design that provides maximum flexibility and ease of installation. The basic panel-mounted version consists of three major components:

Fabricated metal case, complete with pre-installed PSU/backplane and four card slots for the modules (a dedicated CPU slot and three I/O slots).

Removable front panel comprising the LCD display and keypad assembly.

Plug-in modules. A CPU module and one I/O module are supplied for a basic configuration; two blank plates are supplied to cover the unused slots.

Note: User-supplied tools to assist in the installation process may include a Phillips screwdriver, a regular screwdriver, a small adjustable spanner wrench, and a 2.5mm Allen key.

Environmental Considerations

The S600+ panel mounted flow computer is designed for use within the control room. Place it in a position that provides ease of use, comfort, and safety for operators and maintenance personnel. The optimum height for viewing and using the display and keypad is at operator eye level.

Required Tools for Installation

Before you attempt to install the S600+, ensure that you have the following tools:

Small flat-blade screwdriver suitable for the slot-headed captive screws on the rear of the case that secure each plug-in board into the case.

5.5 mm (5 BA) hex or small adjustable wrench for the front panel bosses.

2.5 mm Allen key suitable for the hex cap screw on the front face of the front panel that secures the front panel molding to the case.

Installing the S600+

Refer to the following procedures for installing the various S600+ components, including the front panel, panel-mounted unit, and modules.

Unpacking the S600+

Unpack the S600+ carefully and inspect parts for visual damage.

Note: Do not discard packaging material until after you have identified all pieces of the shipment and you are confident that all parts are working correctly.

Removing the Front Panel

To begin the mounting process, remove the front panel from the S600+:

Ensure power has been removed from the S600+.

Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, remove the hex cap screw from the bottom centre of the front panel (refer to Figure 2-2).

Carefully slide the front panel up 4 mm (0.15 in) to allow it to clear the retaining groove at the top of the case, and then allow the panel to come forward to clear the panel case completely (refer to Figure 2-3).

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the back of the front panel at the blue connector (refer to Figure 2-4). Observe the orientation of the connector with its mating keyway. You must correctly re-insert the ribbon cable at the end of the installation process.

Remove the top and bottom bosses from the unit housing, using a 5.5 mm (5 BA) hex wrench.

Installing the Panel-Mounted Unit

After removing the front panel, install the panel-mounted unit:

Keeping environmental considerations in mind, construct the framework of the cubicle to support the operating panel.

Note: A standard 483 mm (19 in) rack that is 311 mm (12.25 in) high can accommodate up to four S600+s provided you support the rear of the case.

Refer to Figure 2-6 and Table 2-1 for position details for two 7 mm (0.276 in) holes and a cutout. The panel cutout should be rectangular for each S600+. Allow a tolerance of ± 3 mm (0.12 in) on each axis.

Note: The S600+ fits into existing S500 and 869 flow computer panel cutouts.

Place the front of the case against the rear of the prepared cutout.

Re-install the top and bottom bosses and tighten with a 5.5 mm (5 BA) hex wrench.

Once you have fitted the rear support, use a self-tapping screw to secure the case to the rear support. The maximum depth of the screw inside the case should be 3 mm (0.12 in)

Reinstalling the Front Panel

Re-installing the front panel is the final stage of the installation process:

Connect the ribbon cable to the front panel.

Place the top of the front panel over the retaining groove on the top boss and slide the front panel downwards.

Secure the front panel by placing the hex cap screw into its recess in the bottom centre of the front panel.

Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, tighten the screw finger-tight. Turn an additional 180 degrees clockwise to complete the installation.

Installing and Removing Modules

The S600+ ships with the CPU and I/O modules already installed. Follow this procedure if you need to remove the modules for maintenance or upgrade purposes.

The CPU module is located at the left-most rear slot of the case. You can insert I/O modules in the remaining slots or leave them empty. Cover any empty slots with the blank cover plates.
