The 1785T-PMPS-1700 terminal requires an input voltage of 24 Volts DC and it consumes 23 Watts of power. The rated current consumption of the unit is 1.1 Amps. The cable placement, enclosure selection, and communication cable selection, shielding, and grounding are critical to the long life and reliable operation of the terminal.

An enclosure made from cold rolled steel is recommended by the Eaton Corporation for the 1785T-PMPS-1700 terminal. The approved enclosure types include Type 12, Type 4X, and Type 4 enclosures. The enclosure should provide protection from electromagnetic interference, ambient temperatures that exceed the unit's specifications, and against oil, dust, corrosive vapors, and other contaminants. The minimum and recommended amounts of free space below and above the mounted 1785T-PMPS-1700 terminal are 2 inches and 4 inches, respectively. An enclosure measuring either 12 x 12 x 6 inches or 12 x 14 x 6 inches should be used for the installation of the 1785T-PMPS-1700 terminal. The ambient temperature should not be allowed to exceed 50 degrees Celsius. The color display on the 1785T-PMPS-1700 terminal has an 8.4 inch display size and it is based on TFT technology. The resolution supported by the display is a full VGA display. The serial ports on the terminal are provided for PLC communication and alarm and message printing.
