Panel Cutout

For enclosure mounting, cut an opening in the panel according to the following
specifications.

Depth 2.026” (51.5mm)

Notes:

 For compliance to NEMA 4, 4x, and 12 qualification, the unit must be

mounted in a comparably NEMA rated (IP56 equivalent) panel or
enclosure.

 For compliance to ATEX agency qualification, the unit must be mounted in

an IP66 panel or enclosure.

 To avoid gasket degradation, limit repeated insertions or removals of the

unit and retightening of the mounting clips. For full protection, always use a
fresh gasket. Replacement gaskets may be ordered using p art number
IC754ACC06GAS.

1-6 6" QuickPanel* ViewBasic, Monochrome, Round Bezel – September 2010 GFK-2327B

 For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches of space between adjacent

equipment and all sides of the QuickPanel. Ensure that specified conditions
of temperature and humidity are not exceeded.

 In outdoor applications, direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal

loads on the QuickPanel leading to excessive temperature rises. Cabinet
design and orientation must be carefully considered to avoid exceeding the
operational temperature limits. These considerations could include shading
for the QuickPanel and its cabinet with awnings or other solar opaq ue
materials, avoiding a due East or West facing of the cabinet, ventilation or
active cooling of the cabinet, or other methods.

The unit will not fit through this cutout with any cables connected, or with the
power supply plug inserted in the socket. To secure the QuickPanel View to a
panel, use the four included mounting brackets. They hook into opening s
located on the top and bottom of the housing.

GFK-2327B Chapter 1 Welcome 1-7

To Mount the QuickPanel View in a Panel

1. Verify that the gasket is properly seated in the bezel channel, then insert the
unit into the panel cutout.

2. Insert the hook of each mounting bracket in the housing openings as shown
below.

3. Firmly tighten the screws.
Note: The torque range for the mounting bracket screws is 2.6-4.4 inch/lbs

(0.3–0.5 Nm).

The mounting clamps hold the unit in place by tension. No drilling is required.

Do not damage the gasket attached to the back of the QuickPanel. This gasket
prevents shock hazards and damage caused by liquids accidentally entering
the unit after installation.

Also, limit the number of times you remove and reinstall the unit. Too many
installations may cause gasket “set” and degradation of the seal.

QuickPanel View Hardware

Layout Diagram

In addition to the primary touch screen interface, the 6" QuickPanel View
supports an RS232/485 serial communications port for co nnection to a wide
variety of controllers. The back of the QuickPanel opens allowing access to the
DIP switches and battery. The following diagram shows the physical layout of
the QuickPanel View and the locations of ports and connections.

Caution

Remove power from the QuickPanel View before opening the
back. Working on a “live” unit may result in damage to
equipment and injury to personnel. Always use anti-static
precautions (i.e. grounded wrist strap) when accessing the
interior of the unit. Do not allow conductive material, liquid or
solid, to contact the electronics of the QuickPanel.

QuickPanel View Software

Windows CE.NET

Microsoft Windows CE.NET is the operating system for the QuickPanel View. It
is a full 32-bit O/S with a graphical user interface. This operating system is
finding widespread application in hand-held PCs and embed ded HMI’s, such as
the QuickPanel View. From a user’s perspective, the familiar look and feel of
the Windows CE environment shortens the learning curve for those having
experience with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP. From the software
developer’s perspective, the CE environment is a subset of the WIN32
application programming interface, simplifying the porting of existing software
from other versions of Windows. The QuickPanel View operating system is
stored in a 10 MB block of FLASH memory and executes directly from flash.
The operating system also uses a small portion of RAM. The operating system
starts automatically following a power-up or reset of the QuickPanel View.

Flash memory. This utility is required because the QuickPanel View is not
battery powered. Specifically, Backup does the following:

 It stores the Windows CE registry (including any control panel settings)

in Flash memory.

 It stores any changes (or additions) made to the ‘Windows’ subtree of

the file system in the user block of FLASH memory.

Run Backup whenever you make configuration changes to
the operating system or installed applications, and prior to
shutting down the QuickPanel View.

To run the Backup program
