MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

This operator interface is designed for through-panel mounting. A panel cutout diagram and a template are provided. Care should be taken to remove any loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that material from falling into the operator interface during installation. A gasket is provided to enable sealing to NEMA 4X/IP66 specification. Install the 14 kep nuts provided and tighten evenly for uniform gasket compression.

Note: Tightening the kep nuts beyond a maximum of 17 inch-pounds (1.92

N-m) may cause damage to the front panel.

The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit.

Maintaining isolation between earth ground and signal common is not required to operate your unit. But, other equipment connected to this unit may require isolation between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation between signal common and earth ground care must be taken when connections

are made to the unit. For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a USB cable may connect signal common and earth ground.

CONNECTING TO EARTH GROUND

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The units require a 24 VDC power supply rated at 30 W. Your unit may draw considerably less than the rated power depending upon the options being used.

As additional features are used your unit will draw increasing amounts of power.

Items that could cause increases in current are additional communications, optional communications card, CompactFlash card, and other features programmed through Crimson.

In any case, it is very important that the power supply is mounted correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please take care to observe the following points:

– The power supply must be mounted close to the unit, with usually not more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable between the supply and the operator interface. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.

– The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should be at least 22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise.

– A power supply with an NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rating is to be used. This type of power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. SELV is an acronym for

“safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred.

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be connected to an external protective earthing system.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT

EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE AREA

CONFIGURING A G310

The G310 is configured using Crimson software. Crimson is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website, or it can be purchased on CD. Updates to

Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. By configuring the G310 using the latest version of Crimson, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date feature set. Crimson software can configure the G310 through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, or CompactFlash.

The USB port is connected using a standard USB cable with a Type B connector. The driver needed to use the USB port will be installed with Crimson.

If this driver has not been installed, it can be downloaded from the website.

The RS232 PGM port uses a programming cable made by Red Lion to connect to the DB9 COM port of your computer. If you choose to make your own cable, use the “G310 Port Pin Out Diagram” for wiring information.

The CompactFlash can be used to program a G3 by placing a configuration file and firmware on the CompactFlash card. The card is then inserted into the target G3 and powered. Refer to the Crimson literature for more information on the proper names and locations of the files.

CABLES AND DRIVERS

Red Lion has a wide range of cables and drivers for use with many different communication types. A list of these drivers and cables along with pin outs is available from Red Lion’s website. New cables and drivers are added on a regular basis. If making your own cable, refer to the “G310 Port Pin Outs” for wiring information.

ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

Ethernet communications can be established at either 10 BASE-T or 100

BASE-TX. The G310 unit’s RJ45 jack is wired as a NIC (Network Interface

Card). For example, when wiring to a hub or switch use a straight-through cable, but when connecting to another NIC use a crossover cable.

ACCESSING THE COMPACTFLASH CARD

VIA USB DEVICE PORT

In order to access data from the CompactFlash card via the USB device port, a driver must be installed on your computer. This driver is installed with

Crimson and is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Red Lion Controls\

Crimson 2.0\Device\ after Crimson is installed. This may have already been accomplished if your G310 was configured using the USB port.

Once the driver is installed, connect the G310 to your PC with a USB cable, and follow the “Mounting the CompactFlash” instructions found in the Crimson user manual.

PERATION

CRIMSON SOFTWARE

Crimson software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating your copy is free.

KEYPAD

The G310 keypad consists of eight keys for on-screen menus.

TOUCHSCREEN

This operator interface utilizes a resistive analog touchscreen for user input.

The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on an active touchscreen cell in sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon as the operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.

DISPLAY

This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying text and graphics. The G310C2 and G310R2 displays utilize a cold cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL) for lighting the display. The G310S2 units use an LED backlight. The backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.

Display backlights have a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson software when configuring your unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR G310

If for any reason you have trouble operating, connecting, or simply have questions concerning your new G310, contact Red Lion’s technical support.

For contact information, refer to the back page of this bulletin for phone and fax numbers.

BATTERY & TIME KEEPING

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - THE AREA MUST BE KNOWN

TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS BEFORE SERVICING/ REPLACING

THE UNIT AND BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING I/O WIRING

AND BATTERY.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT

EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

AND THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. Typical accuracy of the G310 time keeping is less than one minute per month drift. The battery of a G310 unit does not affect the unit’s memory, all configurations and data is stored in non-volatile memory.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The inverter board, attached to the mounting plate, supplies the high voltage to operate the backlight. Touching the inverter board may result in injury to personnel.

CAUTION: The circuit board contains static sensitive components. Before handling the operator interface without the rear cover attached, discharge static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the operator interface at a static controlled clean workstation. Also, do not touch the surface areas of the circuit board. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants may adversely affect circuit operation.

To change the battery of a G310, remove power, cabling, and then the rear cover of the unit. To remove the cover, remove the five screws designated by the arrows on the rear of the unit. Then, by lifting the top side, hinge the cover, thus providing clearance for the connectors on the bottom side of the PCB as shown in the illustration below. Install in the reverse manner.

Remove the old battery* from the holder and replace with the new battery.

Replace the rear cover, cables, and re-apply power. Using Crimson or the unit’s keypad, enter the correct time and date.
