FloBoss S600+ System Components

Environmental Considerations
The S600+ panel mounted flow computer is designed for
use within the control room.

Place it in a position that provides ease of use, comfort,

and safety for operators and maintenance personnel.

The optimum height for viewing and using the display

and keypad is at operator eye level.

If you install units in a confined space with other heat-

producing equipment, give special attention to the
combined heating effect. It is impacting performance.
Required Tools for Installation
Before you attempt to install the S600+, ensure that you
have the following tools:

Small flat-blade screwdriver suitable for the slot-headed

captive screws on the rear of the case that secure each
plug-in board into the case.

5.5 mm (5 BA) hex or small adjustable wrench for the

front panel bosses.

2.5 mm Allen key suitable for the hex cap screw on the
front face of the front panel that secures the front panel
molding to the case.
Removing the Front Panel
To begin the mounting process, remove the front panel from
the S600+:

1. Ensure power has been removed

from the S600+

2. Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, remove

the hex cap screw from the bottom
centre of the front panel

3. Carefully slide the front panel up

4 mm (0.15 in) to allow it to clear the retaining groove at
the top of the case, and then allow the panel to come
forward to clear the panel case completely
Removing the Front Panel
4. Disconnect the ribbon cable from
the back of the front panel at the
blue connector.

Observe the orientation of the connector with its mating

keyway. You must correctly re-insert the ribbon cable at the
end of the installation process.
Removing the Front Panel
5. Remove the top and bottom bosses
from the unit housing, using a 5.5 mm
(5 BA) hex wrench.

Caution: Do not remove the ribbon

cable from the board
Panel Mount Dimension
Installing the Panel-Mounted Unit
After removing the front panel, install the
panel-mounted unit:
1. Keeping environmental considerations
2. The panel cutout should be rectangular for each S600+.
Allow a tolerance of +- 3 mm (0.12 in) on each axis.
3. Ensure a panel thickness of at least 3 mm (0.12 in) to
prevent distortion.
4. Place the front of the case against the rear of the
prepared cutout.
5. Re-install the top and bottom bosses and tighten with a 5.5
mm (5 BA) hex wrench.
6. Once you have fitted the rear support, use a self-tapping
screw to secure the case to the rear support. The maximum
depth of the screw inside the case should be 3 mm (0.12 in).
Installing the Panel-Mounted Unit
Reinstalling the Front Panel
Re-installing the front panel is the final stage of the
installation process:
1. Connect the ribbon cable to the front panel.
2. Place the top of the front panel over the retaining groove on
the top boss and slide the front panel downwards.
3. Secure the front panel by placing the hex cap screw into its
recess in the bottom centre of the front panel.
4. Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, tighten the screw finger-tight. Turn
an additional 180 degrees clockwise to complete the
installation.
Installing and Removing Modules
To remove a module:
1. Power down the S600+ before you attempt to extract a
module.
2. Unscrew the retention screws before you attempt to
remove a module. This avoids damage to the ejectors.
3. Unlatch the ejectors for the appropriate module and pull
the module clear of the case.
Installing and Removing Modules
To install a module:
1. Carefully align the module with the guides (located at the
top and bottom of the case). Gently slide the module into
the case until it seats fully with the appropriate connector
on the backplane.
2. Press each of the two ejectors securely into place once
the module is fully inserted.
3. Secure the module with the retention screws (two per
board).
