PanelView Plus 700 to 1500 and PanelView Plus Compact 1000 Terminals and Display Modules
Earth/Ground Connection
PanelView Plus devices with a DC power input have a earth/ground terminal that you must
connect to a low-impedance earth/ground. The earth/ground connection is on the rear of the
display module.
The earth/ground terminal requires a minimum wire gauge.
On most PanelView Plus devices, the earth/ground terminal is internally connected to the DC-
terminal within the product.
The PanelView Plus devices have isolated and non-isolated communication ports.
For more information refer to the PanelView Plus Terminals User Manual, publication 2711P-
UM001.
IMPORTANT The earth/ground connection to ground is mandatory. This connection is required for noise
immunity, reliability, and Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) with the European Union (EU)
EMC directive for CE-mark conformance. This connection is required for safety by Underwriters
Laboratory.
Earth/Ground Wire Specifications for DC Power
Symbol Wire Type Wire Gauge Terminal Screw Torque
GND Stranded or solid Cu 90 °C (194 °F) 14…10 AWG 1.13…1.36 N•m (10…12 lb•in)
Damage or malfunction can occur when a voltage potential exists between two separate
ground points. Make sure the terminal does not serve as a conductive path between ground
points at different potentials.
