Operator Unit Installation
Select a position to provide free view of the panel as well as easy access during operation and service. The
operator unit may be mounted ush (optional bracket are needed) in a panel, desktop mounted or directly
mounted onto a bulkhead. Fig. 3.3 shows the operator unit along with the main installation dimensions. If
the unit is to be ush mounted, the shown cut-out and recession depth dimensions must be observed. See
“Fig 3.3. Operator unit.” on page 40.
Remember to leave room in front of the unit to open the door a full 90 degree.
Do not perform installation work with system power applied!!
Cables are led through the appropriate cable glands as follows:
• The cable from the transducer(s) should normally occupy the left gland.
• The right gland is used for power supply connection.
• The centre ones are used for any interface signals connected.
Power supply may be either 115/230 V AC or 24 V DC. Power consumption is app. 60 W at 24 V, app. 80 W
at 115/230 V AC.
The transducer is always connected with 1 pair plus screen. See “Fig. 3.8. Terminal board connections” on
page 48.

If the AC power system is 115 V, GDS102 must be prepared for 115 V AC by re-connecting the connectors
J102, J103 as shown in g. 3.4. See “Fig. 3.4. AC Voltage selection and fuses.” on page 41.
This diagram also shows position of fuses for 115/230 V AC and 24 V DC. These fuses are normal 5 x 20
mm glass fuses.
AC supply: FS100, FS101: 230 V: 0.5 A slow blow.
FS100, FS101: 115 V: 1 A slow blow.
DC supply: FS102: 24 V: 3.15 A slow blow.
When the installation is complete, and power is connected to the operator unit, the appropriate power
switch by the power terminals is switched on. For daily operation, these switches may stay on and the unit
is switched o by pressing the SYSTEM o button on screen 2. See “Fig. 2.3. Screen 2. Display and print
settings.” on page 15. The unit is switched on by pressing any button.
Both 115/230 V AC and 24 V DC power may be connected and switched on at the same time. If one of these
supplies shuts down, changeover is automatic.
Important
When doing service or repair, please wait two minutes after power o, before unplugging internal
connectors.
