2-2 ADAM-5000
Installation Guideline
2.1 General
Environmental Specifications
The following table lists the environmental specifications that general-
ly apply to the ADAM-5000 system (System kernel and
I/O modules).
Specification Rating
Storage temperature -13 to 185°F (-25 to 85°C)
Ambient operating
temperature
14 to 158°F (-10 to 70°C)
Ambient humidity* 5 to 95%, non-condensing
Atmosphere No corrosive gases
* Equipment will operate below 30% humidity. However, static
electricity problems occur much more frequently at lower humidity
levels. Make sure you take adequate precautions before you touch
the equipment. Consider using ground straps, antistatic floor cover-
ings, etc. if you use the equipment in low humidity environments.
Power Requirements
Although the ADAM-5000 systems are designed for standard
industrial unregulated 24 V
DC
power supply, they accept any power
unit that supplies within the range of +10 to +30V
DC
. The power supply
ripple must be limited to 100 mV peak-to-peak, and the immediate ripple
voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30 V
DC
.
Diagnostic Indicators
Diagnostic indicators are located on the front panel of the ADAM
system. They show both normal operation and system status in your
remote I/O system. The indicators are:
• System status (PWR, RUN)
• Communication status (TX, RX)
• I/O module status
