PROJECT PLANNING INFORMATION
3.3.6 Installation preparation for the evaluation unit
Requirements
The installation location for evaluation unit was defined within the project planning
framework (
see “Project Planning Checklist”, page 18). The maximum total cable length of
all CAN bus connections in the GM35 measuring system of 1000 m was taken into
account, bearing in mind that the closer the device is to the measuring point, the easier it
is to use.
Installation location preparation
The evaluation unit has mounting holes in the enclosure that allow it to be easily secured
with 3 screws.
▸ Based on the dimension drawing of the EvU according to
“Fitting the evaluation unit
(cast enclosure)”, page 34
, make sure sufficient space is available at the planned
installation location to fit and wire the enclosure as well as to swing the enclosure door
open.
▸ Drill suitable openings as assembly points as required.
3.4 Preparations for electrical installation
The onsite supply and signal cables are laid beforehand to facilitate subsequent
installation and start-up of the GM35 system components. Suitable cable ducts resp.
empty conduits are installed for cables already prefabricated and delivered with the GM35
system. The prepared cables are connected to the devices during installation or start-up by
suitably qualified personnel or by SICK Customer Service.
