EMERSONFloBoss™ S600+ Flow Computer Instruction Manual

rectangular for each S600+. Allow a tolerance of ± 3 mm (0.12 in) 

on each axis. 

Note: The S600+ fits into existing S500 and 869 flow computer 

panel cutouts. 

3. Ensure a panel thickness of at least 3 mm (0.12 in) to prevent 

distortion. If you use a thinner panel, support the rear of the case 

(refer to Figure 2-7). 

Caution Always use a rear support or anchor to prevent twisting and other 

distortion effects during installation and maintenance. 

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). 

2.4.4 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. 

Caution Note how the connector fits into the keyway. You must insert the 

ribbon cable correctly. Do not force the connector into the keyway.

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. 

Note: Replace the security cap if one was originally fitted. 

Caution Do not over-tighten the screw. Over-tightening will damage the panel 

face. 

2.5 Installing and Removing Modules 

The S600+ ships with the CPU and I/O modules already installed. 

Follow this procedure if you need to remove the modules for 

maintenance or upgrade purposes. 

The CPU module is located at the left-most rear slot of the case. You 

can insert I/O modules in the remaining slots or leave them empty. 

Cover any empty slots with the blank cover plates. 

Caution Take suitable electrostatic discharge precautions before you remove 

any of the modules. 

The terminals on some modules may be wired to electrical potentials 

sufficiently high to cause electrical shock and injury. Turn off and 

discharge any power sources for connected devices before you 

perform any installation or repair work.

Removal 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 (refer to Figure 2-8).
