Console Installation
Console Location
The location that you select to install the console must be indoors in an area classied as non-hazardous (see the console
specications table at the beginning of the Wiring the Console & Modules chapter for further information). To get the
maximum benet from this system, install the console where personnel can easily make use of it; mount it at eye level for
operator convenience. Mount the console level on a vertical surface between 2 feet (0.6 m) and 6 feet (1.9 m) high using
the appropriate fasteners. For European applications, the console must be located in a pollution degree 2 environment per
IEC60664.
Mounting the Console
The T5 series consoles must be mounted in a location where explosive or ammable vapors are
not present, otherwise an explosion hazard will be created which can result in severe injury, death,
serious property damage and/or environmental contamination.
Leave a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) of space around the console open to allow for ventilation,
communication port connections, conduit and wiring. If the ventilation slots located on the sides
of the TS-550 (TS-EMS) or TS-5000 are obstructed, the unit may overheat and stop functioning as
intended.
Four mounting tabs are available on the outside corners of the console. Select fasteners that have sufcient load carrying
capacity and which are appropriate for wall construction – a fully equipped TS-5000 console can weigh as much as 40
pounds (18 kg), so make sure that your fasteners (and mounting surface) can adequately support that much weight.
In addition, plan ahead to make sure that there is enough room around the console for: conduit coming into the unit,
communication port connections, possible incoming probe or sensor wiring, and for the console door to fully open for easy
access.
Note: For questions concerning standard installation materials to be used for the T5 series, please refer to the Standard
Installation Materials section of this manual.
TS-5 (TS-608)
The TS-5 is the smallest of the T5 series consoles, so it requires the least amount of space on your station’s wall. Use the
dimensions illustrated below to aid you in mounting the console. When mounting the TS-5 (TS-608), please be aware that,
unlike the TS-550 (TS-EMS) and TS-5000, the communications ports and conduit knockouts on this model are located on
the sides of the unit, so remember to allow for sufcient space on both sides of the console during installation.
