Installation

Unpacking and checking delivery contents

Check packaging for transport damage.
Carefully remove the packaging to avoid causing damage.
Keep the original packaging for future transport.
- Keep the documents supplied.
- Check the contents of the packaging for visible transport damage.
Check the contents for completeness on the basis of the delivery bill.

Storage and transport

During storage and transport, observe the permissible limit values specified in the “General” section of the “Technical data” chapter.
Especially in cold weather and in case of extreme temperature differences, ensure that moisture does not condense on or in the device (dew).
Protect the device from excessive mechanical stress. Suitable packaging improves its resistance to vibrations during transport.
When transporting the individual device, use the original packaging, incl. all shock-absorbing elements, or comparable packaging!

Installation

The Prime Box Pico is not suitable for outdoor operation.
The following points must be observed to ensure trouble-free operation of the
Prime Box Pico and to avoid damage.
When installing the Prime Box Pico, observe chapter 4 “Technical data.”

Temperature

Before commissioning:
Slowly adjust the device to the room temperature.
In case of condensation, do not start up the device until it is completely dry.
Prevent overheating during operation:
Do not expose the device to direct irradiation from a heat source, such as sunlight.
Only operate the device within the temperature range specified in chapter “4 Technical data” on page 14.

Ventilation

Cooling concept
- The processor is cooled purely passively via free convection, i.e. neither CPU nor system fans are used.
- The CPU as well as all power semiconductors of the power supply are connected to the cover of the computer housing via heatspreaders.
- An aluminum heat sink inside the housing collects the heat generated at components with high power dissipation and dissipates it to the lateral heat sink.
Vents are provided to allow air exchange with the surrounding air. The heat generated on the inside is dissipated to the circulating air via large-area cooling fins.
A space of 50 mm is to be kept free above, below and to the side of the device for free air convection.

Installation position and mounting

The Prime Box Pico PBI1100ED_044 is designed for vertical installation in control cabinets. Pay attention to the correct orientation during installation; do not install the device upside down – see illustration below. Installation in the control cabinet is carried out on the top-hat rail by means of a mounting bracket.
Alternatively, a vertical or horizontal installation at the rear of the housing is possible, using the two mounting plates. Pay attention to the correct orientation during installation; install the device vertically (antennas on top) orhorizontally (heat sink on top) – see illustration below.
Use one M4 bolt each to install the mounting plates at the top and bottom. Apply a torque of 2.2 Nm when tightening the M4 bolts.
CAUTION: The mounting wall on which the Prime Box Pico is installed – including the mounting elements – must be able to support four times the weight of the device.

For dimensions, see chapter “4 Technical data” on page 14.

Connection, commissioning, and operation

Establishing operational readiness

Interference-free connections for trouble-free operation
When connecting peripheral devices, use shielded bus and LAN cables with shielded connectors to meet EMC requirements.
CAUTION: If possible, screw or lock the plug connections as this will improve electrical shielding
Signal lines must not be routed in the same cable duct as power lines.
Check all cable connections before commissioning the system.
Make sure that all voltages and signals comply with the required values.
Safe discharge of electrical interference
Connect the device and control cabinet to a central grounding point using the shortest possible path.
CAUTION: To ensure safe operation of the Prime Box Pico during use, make sure that the connection (functional earth) between the device and the control cabinet is as low impedance as possible.
In this context, be sure to also observe the Merkblatt “Erdungskonzept” in the ANLAGE
at the end of this operating manual.
CAUTION: Only qualified personnel may open the Prime Box, Pico.
Open the device only when it is de-energized.

Emitted interference

Industrial environment according to EN 61000-6-2
This device may cause radio interference in residential areas; in this case, the operator may be required to implement appropriate measures.

Electrostatic discharge

All assemblies and components are ESD-sensitive.
The ESD instructions must be observed.
Avoid touching electrostatically sensitive components (e.g. connector pins).
Discharge your body electrostatically before touching the device (e.g. by touching a grounded metallic object).

Expanding the Prime Box Pico
Limitation of liability

The devices are supplied with a specific hardware and software configuration according to the respective application.
No liability can be assumed in the event of changes to the hardware or software that go beyond the documented possibilities, or in the event of improper use of the components.

Precautionary measures

Electronic components are very sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Precautionary measures must therefore be taken when handling the assemblies. These can be found in the guidelines for electrostatically sensitive components (ESD guidelines).

Disconnect the Prime Box Pico from the power supply before connecting or disconnecting components or expansion modules.
Wear a grounding strap when handling components.
Before plugging in the cables, the static charge of the technician and that of the Prime Box Pico must be brought to the same potential. To do this, briefly touch the metal housing.
Discharge electrostatic charge from your tools before using them.
Leave components and expansion modules in their packaging until they are installed.
Do not touch the pins and conductors of components and expansion modules.
Never operate the Prime Box Pico with the housing open.

Preconditions

The devices from Schubert System Elektronik GmbH feature peripheral interfaces that can be used to connect various components.

When using commercially available peripheral devices (e.g. at the USB port), please note that their EMC interference immunity is often designed for office use.
However, they are not suitable for operation in an industrial environment!
For process operation, devices that are connected must have the CE mark.
When connecting peripheral devices, ensure that they are suitable for industrial use!
Do not plug in or out any plugs during operation!

Opening
