Mettler Toledo PANTHER PTPN 1600 000 Terminal Keypad

The METTLER TOLEDO PANTHER PTPN 1600 000 Membrane Keypad Switch terminal is provided with a universal power supply, which operates from 85 to 264 VAC and with a line frequency of 49 to 63 Hz. Power consumption is 12 Watts maximum. Power is applied via a terminal strip (on the panel-mount version) or a permanently attached line cord (on harsh enclosure version).

The integrity of the power ground is important for safety and dependable operation of the METTLER TOLEDO PANTHER PTPN 1600 000 Operator Panel Keypad terminal and its associated scale base. A poor ground can result in an unsafe condition if an electrical short develops in the equipment. A good ground connection assures extraneous electrical noise pulses are minimized. The power line for the METTLER TOLEDO PANTHER PTPN 1600 000 Keyboard Membrane PANTHER must not be shared with equipment such as motors, relays, or heaters that generate line noise.

To confirm ground integrity, a commercial branch circuit analyzer like an ICE model SureTest ST-1D (or equivalent) is recommended. This instrument uses a high amperage pulse to check ground resistance. It measures the voltage from the neutral wire to the ground connection and will provide an assessment of the line loading.

Instructions with the instrument provide guidelines about limits that assure good connections. Visual inspections and a query of the user will provide information about equipment sharing the power line. If adverse power conditions exist, a dedicated power circuit or power line conditioner may be required.
