8.2 Mounting and cleaning Epec 5000 control unit platform products
Control unit mounting location should be planned so that the machine's washing
does not damage the unit.
A direct water jet towards the control units should be avoided, especially when
using high pressure. Also the use of any such solvent that causes damage to
electronic devices should be avoided when handling the control units.
When cleaning the control unit, do not use highly alkaline / acidic substances, too
hot water, or too heavy mechanical abrasion.
In moist conditions, the module must be mounted and oriented so that the
connectors are not filled with water.
• The mounting is done with 3 pieces of M6 screws to DIN 912
• It is possible to use a spring washer under the screw head
• Mounting must be done into a conductive metal base, the control unit's aluminium
housing must have a galvanic connection to machine frame
• The 3-point mounting allows the mounting even on a bit uneven surface
• Reserve 10 cm installation space for the connector cables
• Mounting position horizontal or vertical to allow water etc. flowing away from
connectors, see the figures below.
Do not mount the unit in a position where the bottom side or the connectors are facing up:
