Introduction Notes 2 QTERM-A12 Terminal
CHAPTER 2 SAFETY SUMMARY The QTERM-A12 terminal is certified to operate at Temperature Code T6 in a Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C and D hazardous environment. The terminal must be installed and operated as described in this document to meet this certification. All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it.
Safety Summary Notes 4 QTERM-A12 Terminal
CHAPTER 3 APPLYING POWER CAUTION For Class I, Division 2 installations: Do not connect or disconnect cables while power is applied unless the area is known to be non-hazardous. Power is supplied to the QTERM-A12 terminal via the COM1 serial port connector or the 3-pin power terminal strip for input power, return and chassis ground. The QTERM-A12 may also be equipped with an optional Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface.
Primary Serial Port Connector for Power Input Applying Power lation between signal common and earth ground, care must be taken when connections are made to the terminal. For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must be used. Also, plugging in a serial cable or a USB cable may connect signal common and earth ground. The serial cable shield or the USB shield may be connected to earth ground at the host.
Applying Power Optional Power-over-Ethernet Interface 3.4 Optional Power-over-Ethernet Interface WARNING Although the terminal includes protection circuitry to prevent power supply contention, power should not be connected to the 3-pin terminal strip or the DB9 connector while power is applied to the RJ45 PoE interface. The QTERM-A12 may be equipped with an optional Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface.
Powering On the Terminal for the First Time Applying Power 3.5 Powering On the Terminal for the First Time When you connect power to the QTERM-A12 terminal, the operating system is automatically loaded. The QTERM-A12 takes 10 to 20 seconds to boot. During that time the backlight of the display will come on to indicate that the terminal is booting.
CHAPTER 4 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION AND ARCHITECTURE 4.1 User Interface Display The QTERM-A12 features a TFT color SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) LCD display that measures 308 mm (12.1") diagonally. The display backlight has a typical rating of 450 nit. Touch Screen A clear analog-resistive touch screen covers the entire display area for user input. The touch screen is a 5-wire architecture offering improved durability and touch endurance.
Serial Communications Hardware Description and Architecture 4.4 Serial Communications CAUTION For Class I, Division 2 installations: Do not connect or disconnect cables while power is applied unless the area is known to be non-hazardous. The QTERM-A12 has two serial ports, designated COM1 and COM2, that can communicate up to 3.6 MBaud. Refer to section 7.2, “Connector Pinouts” for serial port pinout data.
Hardware Description and Architecture Power Supply 4.7 Power Supply CAUTION For Class I, Division 2 installations: Do not connect or disconnect cables while power is applied unless the area is known to be non-hazardous. The QTERM-A12 has a 10- to 32-volt DC input range and can be powered directly from a 12or 24-volt DC power supply. The terminal includes circuitry to protect against normal variations such as transients and spikes (EN55024 compliant), as well as reverse voltage and overvoltage protection.
Housing Hardware Description and Architecture Notes 12 QTERM-A12 Terminal
CHAPTER 5 INSTALLATION A QTERM-A12 terminal uses a rugged chemical resistant polymer housing and mounting components. When properly installed in a NEMA-4X rated panel, the QTERM-A12 meets all NEMA-4X specifications including hose-down, icing and salt spray. A QTERM-A12 terminal can be installed in either a landscape or portrait orientation. In addition, the terminal can be installed with or without a front bezel.
Cutting Out for Panel Mount Installation 5.1 Cutting Out for Panel Mount 5.1.1 Standard Version Cutout The standard version cutout is to be used with QTERM-A12 models that have a factoryinstalled front bezel. The standard QTERM-A12 terminal can be mounted in panels from 0.8 to 10 mm thick. No screw holes need to be drilled to install the terminal in the panel. Make a rectangular hole in the panel using the following dimensions. Landscape Portrait Horizontal: 302.5 ± 1 mm Horizontal: 254.
Installation 5.1.2 Cutting Out for Panel Mount Modular Version Cutout The modular version cutout is to be used with QTERM-A12 models that DO NOT have factory-installed front bezels. The modular version of the QTERM-A12 terminal can be mounted in panels with any thickness. In addition to making a cutout in the panel, the panel must be fitted with mounting studs. Make a rectangular hole in the panel using the following dimensions. Landscape Portrait Horizontal: 248.0 ± 1 mm Horizontal: 187.
Installing the Terminal Installation 5.2 Installing the Terminal WARNING When mounting the QTERM-A12 terminal within a final enclosure, make sure you provide adequate ventilation: a minimum of 51 mm (2.0 inches) around the back, sides and bottom and 77 mm (3.0 inches) clearance above the top of the QTERM-A12 terminal. CAUTION This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D or non-hazardous locations only.
Installation Installing the Terminal • Portrait When looking at the front of the unit, the back panel serial port(s) should be facing left. Refer to Figure 3 for an example of a landscape installation. Figure 3 QTERM-A12 Mounting 3. On the back of the panel, align the terminal mounting ring holes with the mounting studs, and place the mounting ring against the back of the panel. Refer to Figure 3 for the location of the mounting studs. 4.
Installing the Terminal Installation the back panel may indicate the orientation. If not, you can determine which side should be at the top by the position of the serial port(s) on the back panel as follows: • Landscape When looking at the front of the unit, the back panel serial port(s) should be facing down. • Portrait When looking at the front of the unit, the back panel serial port(s) should be facing left. Refer to Figure 4 for an example of a landscape installation.
