Conditions For Compliance - GE Mark VIe System Manual

5.2 Conditions for Compliance

If the following conditions for compliance are not met or if unapproved third-party equipment is included in the Mark VIe
control cabinet, then the user is responsible for obtaining the appropriate Low Voltage Safety and EMC certifications for the
assembled Mark VIe control & IO based cabinets.
• Mark VIe control equipment must be mounted inside a grounded steel enclosure, with doors that require a tool or key to
open, and 0.86 mm minimum steel thickness. The enclosure must provide a minimum Intrusion Protection of IP 20 and
an internal micro-environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2.
• PE and FE connections must be clearly marked. Customer must connect PE/FE to suitable building ground system
through minimum 120 mm
for more information.
• Use only Mark VIe family of controllers, IO, switches, and power supplies.
• Customer power supply mains connection terminal boards must be clearly marked with L (Line) and N (Neutral) for each
AC supply feed connection and Hi (+) and Lo (-) for each DC supply feed connection.
• A Power Requirements nameplate with supply source designations, voltage, and rated current shall be located on the
front door of the cabinet with the customer supply mains connections. Refer to the chapter Installation Guidelines, the
section Power Requirements
• The customer shall provide an easily accessible external disconnect device for each of the mains supplies near the control
cabinet. The customer shall provide external 30 A two-pole circuit breaker protection for each 120 V ac and 125 V dc
mains and 15 A two-pole circuit breaker protection for each 240 V ac and 220 V dc mains. Circuit breaker can serve as
the Disconnect Device if mounted accessible to the control cabinet.
• Any accessory outlet / socket must be labeled near the outlet with the max rated current.
• All AC and DC power supply mains must connect thru a Mark VIe Overvoltage Transient Protection and EMI Filter
circuit. These OV and EMI filter circuits are built-in to the JPDB and JPDF Power Distribution Modules. If JPDB/JPDF
are not used to distribute AC and DC power supply mains to the Mark VIe control, then a separate GE Filter Module
246B8279Gx should be used to filter the mains. Refer to GEH-6721 Volume II, the chapter PDM Power Distribution
Modules for more information.
• Elevation shall not exceed 2000 m for compliance to 61010-1.
• Appropriate Warning nameplates shall be applied to the front door of each cabinet and shall include appropriate warning
symbols per IEC 61010-1 per Table 1. See examples below. Warning nameplates shall highlight the presence of electrical
circuits that must be disconnected before opening the enclosure for servicing, electrical shock or burn hazard, Qualified
Personnel Only, and include symbols 12 and 14 from IEC 61010-1 Table 1.
