X71 Mosaic Graphic System
The X71 provides the means to display the layout and annunciate the status and measurement parameters of industrial processes, security and fire alarms of buildings and manufacturing facilities, power distribution networks, and other operations. The X71 is ideally suited where applications require frequent modifications due to plant expansion or process changes. The surface of the mosaic tile graphic is silk screened or engraved with a customized layout depicting the processes or facilities. The Graphic layout may include light indicators, lamp or LED type, selector switches, push- buttons, digital or analog readouts, annunciators, lamp cabinets, time clocks, or other electrical/electronic equipment required to display process parameters and status.
The grid and tile construction allows highest flexibility in regards to overall sizing, modification of display layout and addition or omission of indictors, control devices, and equipment without the use of special tools or training. The tile assembly is customized to the specific requirement of an application in multiples of a single tile size increment. The grid is supported from the peripheral framework and cross-beam structure for maximum stability. The Graphic assembly is installed through a single panel cutout of the control panel and secured with clamps provided.

The high precision 12" x 12"(304.80 mm x 304.80 mm) standard grid is molded from glass-filled nylon 6/6 flame-retardant 94V-0 material. The grid is cut in 1" (25.40 mm) increments and is assembled to meet size requirements.
The tiles are molded from polycarbonate flame-retardant 94V-0 material and are self-extinguishing, highly resistant to ultraviolet rays, and meet ASTMD648 heat deflection temperatures of 280?F. The tiles are available in 1" x 1" (25.40 mm x 25.40 mm) and 2" x 2" (50.80 mm x 50.80 mm). The two sizes may be mixed on the same grid, with 2" x 2" (50.80 mm x 50.80 mm) tiles suitable for larger graphics. |

GRAPHIC LAYOUT
The graphic layout is best transferred via computer file. If not available, an actual size drawing will reduce customer approval time for layouts. Ronan factory personnel will verify compliance with tile and grid layout requirements and optional mounting facilities for special equipment. The customer is requested to select the color for lines, symbols, and tile background from the color chart.
The process line width should be selected based on the graphic抯 overall size and is available outlined
or not outlined (solid). Care should be taken in the selection of color for contrast in text/process outlines.
The recommended standard lettering style is gothic, with many other computer generated styles
available. The letters should be sized for easy readability by the operator. Recommended sizes are from
7/16" (11.11 mm) to 1/2" (12.70 mm) high. The lettering is centered on symbols or tiles with adjustments to minimize screening across tile separation.
A large number of standard symbols is available. These can be sized to fit on a single tile or a number
of tiles and placed symmetrically for the best visual appearance. The standard symbols are available from Ronan on Auto CAD files to simplify the graphic layout for the customer. Custom symbols may be generated for specific applications, including customer抯 logo in the graphic layout.
The final graphic display is coated with a nonglare UV resistant acrylic spray for a long-lasting, soil
resistant appearance. The protective coating allows for cleaning with mild cleaners or soap solution. |
