Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
2.1 Mounting Instructions
2.1.1 Location Considerations
Care should be taken when locating equipment behind the unit to ensure that AC power wiring,
PLC output modules, contactors, starters and relays, and any other source of electrical
interference are located away from the back of the unit.
Particular note should be taken to the position of variable speed drives and switching power
supplies. Their input and load cables should be screened to a central star earth point.
2.1.2 Making a NEMA-4 Mounting
Panel Details
NEMA-4
Mounting
Caution!
Note:
The unit can be mounted into panels with a depth of 1.72”(51mm).
It is recommended that the unit be mounted on the front panel of a
steel enclosure, through an appropriate opening*. Allow a clearance
of 1”(25mm) around the sides of the unit for mounting hardware.
Allow clearance for cable connections to the back of the unit. Unit
depth may vary according to cable type used. Typically, plan a depth
to accommodate at least 1.72”(51mm) behind the panel.
Put the unit through the panel cut out. Slide the clamps into the 6
holes provided around the case. Tighten the clamping screws in an
even pattern until the unit is secured in the panel.
Do not over tighten mounting clamps!
Specifications Note:
To seal to NEMA-4 specifications, all supplied mounting clamps
must be used and panel cannot flex more than 0.010”.
8
2.1.3 Environmental Considerations
The NP-610X are to be used indoors as built in displays. Make sure that the displays are
installed correctly and that the operating limits are followed (See Specifications).
Do not operate the unit in areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable gases, vapors
or dusts.
The unit should not be installed where fast temperature variations and/or high humidity are
present. This will cause condensation of water in the device.
Do not install these terminals in environments where have inflammable gases.
2.2 Power Connections
Make sure that all local and national electrical standards are met when the installing the unit.
Contact your local authorities to determine which codes apply.
9
2.2.1 Power Requirements
Power
The NP-610X can be powered by DC power only. The specified
voltage range is +21 to 25 Volts DC. This insures compatibility
with most controller DC systems. The power conditioning circuitry
inside the unit is accomplished by a switching power supply. The
peak starting current can be as high as 700mA.
Fusing
Requirements
If the display does not come on within 2 seconds of power up,
remove power. An internal fuse will prevent damage if the polarity
of the DC power is incorrect. Check wiring to insure proper
connections and try to power up again.
Caution
An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage condition
however it isn’t guaranteed.
High Voltage
DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from main AC
power and similar hazards.
Caution
Emergency
Stop
Caution
Supply Voltage
Condition
Caution
Wire Routing
A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in any system
using an NP-610X to comply with ICS Safety Recommendations.
Do not power the NP-610X and inductive DC loads, or input
circuitry to the controller, with the same power supply. Note: The 24
VDC output from some controllers may not have enough current to
power the NP-610X.
Wire lengths should be minimized (Maximum 1600’ (500 m)
shielded, 1000’ (300 m) unshielded).
Wires should be run in pairs with a neutral or common paired with a
hot or signal line.
If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, use appropriate
surge suppression devices.
Keep AC, high energy, and rapidly switching DC wiring separate
from signal wires.
Equip ungrounded DC supplies with a resistor and capacitor in
parallel to earth ground. This provides a path for static and high
frequency dissipation. Typical values to use are 1MOhm and
4700pF.
Connection
To make a connection, strip about 3/8” of insulation off the end of
the wire, turn the connector screw counterclockwise until the gap is
wide open, insert the wire all the way in, and turn the screw
10
clockwise until it’s tight.
Connect positive DC line to the ‘+24V’ terminal and the DC ground
to the ‘GND‘ terminal.
FUSE Replacement:
The fuse use on MT608 is:
BUSSMANN
Fast Acting, Glass Tube
Rating: 250VAC, 1A
Size: 5x20mm
Warning:
1. Make sure the power off before replace
the fuse.
2. Do not replace the fuse with a different
rating fuse.
2.2.2 Grounding Requirements
Chassis ground must be used. DC ground is not directly coupled to Earth ground internally. It
is preferable not to ground DC negative return to chassis ground as poor site earths can introduce
noise into a system, but if necessary an earth connection should be made, from the power supply
return point to the central star earth point. Ground conductors should be as short and as large in
size as possible. The conductors must always be large enough to carry the maximum short circuit
current of the path being considered. Ground conductors should be connected to a tree from a
central star earth ground point. This ensures that no ground conductor carries current from any
other branch.
2.2.3 CE Requirements
To make an NP-610X comply with EMC directives, and to reduce susceptibility to electrical
interference, a separate #14 AWG ground wire should be taken to the chassis ground terminal of
the power connector. This ground connection should be run directly to the central star earth
connection point (as recommended in most Installation Instructions).
11
2.2.4 Safety Guidelines
This section presents recommended installation practices, and procedures. Since no two
applications are identical, these recommendations should be considered as guidelines.
Hardware Considerations WARNING!
The system designer should be aware that devices in Controller systems could fail and thereby
create an unsafe condition. Furthermore, electrical interference in an operator interface, such as an
NP-610X, can lead to equipment start-up, which could result in property damage and/or physical
injury to the equipment operator.
If you, or your company, use any programmable control systems that require an operator or
attendant, you should be aware that this potential safety hazard exists and take appropriate
precautions. Although the specific design steps depend on your particular application, the
following precautions generally apply to installation of solid-state programmable control devices.
In addition, these precautions conform to the guidelines for installation of Controllers as
recommended in the NEMA ICS 3-304 Control Standards.
Programming Considerations
To conform with ICS Safety Recommendations, checks should be placed in the controller to
ensure that all writable registers that control critical parts of plant or machinery have limit checks
built into the program, with an out-of-limit safe shut down procedure to ensure safety of
personnel.
ICS 3-304.81 Safety Recommendations:
Consideration should be given to the use of an emergency stop function, which is independent
of the programmable controller.
Where the operator is exposed to the machinery, such as in loading or unloading a machine
tool, or where the machine cycles automatically, consideration should be given to the use of an
electromechanical override or other redundant means, independent of the programmable
controller, for starting and interrupting the cycle.
If provision is required for changing programs while the equipment is in operation,
consideration should be given to the use of locks or other means of assuring that only authorized
personnel can make such changes.
These recommendations are intended as safeguards against the failure of critical components
and the effects of such failures or the inadvertent errors that might be introduced if programs are
changed while the equipment is in operation. *

2.3 Communications Connections
The ports as you look at the back of the case, are the ports for connecting to a PLC or some
external device (Controller Connectors).
Cable
Different cables are required for various devices.
Requirements
Caution
Restrict cable length to less than 500’ (150m) for RS485/422
devices and 50’ (15m) for RS232 devices to avoid
communications problems.
Shielded cable must be used for long lengths or cables run in
an electrically noisy environment.
Do not run cables next to AC power lines or near sources of
electrical noise.
Be sure that the cable ends have been inserted all of the way
into mating connectors and are secure

Use a stylus or finger to push the
center of the “+” until it moves.
The “+” moves to upper-left,
lower-left, lower-right and
upper-right corners. When all five
“+” are done the “+” will
disappear. The Touch Screen
parameter will store at Flash Rom.
Backlight
21
“LCD Settings” page of the cecp provides the function to turn off the LCD backlight, and
thus elongates the period of service. For example, if the user wants the backlight turned off
automatically after 10 minutes when the device was no longer used. The user must select
“10 minutes” in the put down box and then press “OK” button. Then the screen save
function is enabled. Once the backlight was turned off, events or perturbations from the
touch screen can turn it on.
On the other hand, if users want to disable the screen save function, select “Never” and
press “OK” button.
22

3.2.3 Hard Disk
The Hard Disk serves as a
small capacity hard disk.
You can store your data and
application in the D.O.M. via Hard Disk
function to prevent unexpected loss of
data as power failure. When power is
shutdown and cold boot, the data in the
D.O.M area is saved.
3.2.4 Startup
After the system boot up, the startup execution function would automatically perform.
This function is useful for control system to do the initialization processes or some other
programs.
Step1: Create "startup" directory in "\Hard
Disk\".
Step2: Copy executable files or Shortcut to
"Startup" directory which is created in Step 1.
An alternative way to setup startup files is to
24
make a shortcut and copy it to "Hard Disk\StartUp". A shortcut can execute a program
with Parameters.
Follow the following procedure to create the shortcut (.lnk) file.
A .lnk file is a text file that contains the command line for the linked target, which
may be enclosed in double quotation marks, along with the length of that command
line. Optionally, you can also pass parameters into the linked target.
For example, to start MyApp.exe and pass two optional parameters into the application, a
sample MyApp.lnk file contains the following.
\Windows\MyApp.exe parameter1 parameter2
