HARDWARE SETUP

Receiving and Unpacking

Delta Tau products are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment.

When the Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller is received, do the following immediately.

1. Inspect the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the

commercial carrier that delivered the controller.

2. Remove the controller from the shipping container and remove all packing materials.

Check all shipping material for connector kits, documentation, diskettes, CD ROM, or

other small pieces of equipment. Be aware that some connector kits and other equipment

pieces may be quite small and can be accidentally discarded if care is not used when

unpacking the equipment. The container and packing materials may be retained for future

shipment.

3. Verify that the part number of the controller received is the same as the part number

listed on the purchase order.

4. Inspect the controller for external physical damage that may have been sustained during

shipment and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered the

controller.

5. Electronic components in this controller are design-hardened to reduce static sensitivity.

However, use proper procedures when handling the equipment.

6. If the controller is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure it is stored in a

location conforming to published storage humidity and temperature specifications stated

in this manual.

Mounting

The location of the control is important. Installation should be in an area that is protected from

direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, and other

contaminants. Exposure to these can reduce the operating life and degrade performance of the

control.

Several other factors should be evaluated carefully when selecting a location for installation:

 For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted on a smooth, non-

flammable vertical surface.

 At least 3 inches (76mm) top and bottom clearance must be provided for airflow. At least

0.4 inches (10mm) clearance is required between controls (each side).

 Temperature, humidity and Vibration specifications should also be taken in account.

The Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller can be mounted with a traditional 2-hole panel

mount, one U-shape/notch on the bottom and one pear-shaped hole on top.

The controller is mounted to a back panel. The back panel should be unpainted and electrically

conductive to allow for reduced electrical noise interference. The back panel should be machined

to accept the mounting bolt pattern of the controller. Make sure that all metal chips are cleaned up

before the controller is mounted so there is no risk of getting metal chips inside the controller.
