Installation and Handling Notes

Before installing and mounting the MPC-2240 panel computer, please read the following notes:

1. The MPC-2240 series is designed for mounting on a desktop, wall, or an FDMI/VESA interface. Please

refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next few sections for detailed instructions on each method.

2. To prolong product lifespan good ventilation must be maintained around the machinery. The chassis’

heat-sink area MUST keep clear from other heat generating items, otherwise damage to the system

motherboard may occur. The minimal distance that must be maintained between the heat sink and another

heat source is 150 mm.

3. DO NOT install the unit horizontally (i.e.: lying down, on its back), as the heat will not be dissipated

effectively and will damage the LCD panel. To assure adequate heat dissipation the unit should be installed

vertically, or within a ±40 degrees slope off the vertical..

4. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and

under certain circumstances might lead to overheating. Please take this point into consideration when the

bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)

5. Exposure to strong vibration or loud, chronic noise might affect functionality and/or product lifetime. It is

advised to take vibration and noise into consideration during system assembly and installation, so that the

mount point may be carefully selected to avoid exposure to undue vibration.

6. For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place, and fasten the computer at its

mount point. Before you lift or move the computer, first verify both it is turned off and no power is being

supplied to the system. In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for the mounting.

Desktop Mounting

The MPC-2240 comes with optional

brackets that allow you to install the

panel computer on a horizontal surface

such as a desktop. Please keep in mind

that desktop mounting is only offered

as a temporary mount; permanent use

of the MPC-2240 as a desktop

computer is not recommended.

Three round head screws are required

for each bracket. See the figure at right

for screw specifications and their

torque value.

MPC-2240 Series Hardware Hardware Connection Description

3-3

Place your MPC-2240 series panel computer on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation,

leave some space between the MPC-2240 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of

the computer, as this might damage the computer’s internal components.

NOTE

These desktop br

ackets are intended for temporary use when conducting lab tests, and are not

intended to be

used in permanent deployments.

Wall Mounting

The MPC-2240 Series comes with 14 optional clamp mounts that allow for installation onto a wall (where space

has been cut out to accommodate the rest of the hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is

desired. The maximum thickness of the surface to which the computer may be clamped is 11 mm. For

a secure mounting, all 14 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the

MPC-2240. Use the short M4 SUS (stainless) screws to fasten the clamp arms to the MPC-2240 mounting slots,

as shown in the magnified inset in the diagram just below. Next, use the clamps to fasten the computer to its

mounting point; please note the torque value that is shown in the figure inset below.

MPC-2240 Series Hardware Hardware Connection Description

3-4

FDMI/VESA Mounts

The MPC-2240 series also comes with an optional VESA mount assembly. Six flat head screws and four round

head screws are required to fasten the VESA mounting bracket. See the figure below for detailed screw

specifications and torque values.

An additional four screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount the computer on a VESA rack. For this

purpose, use M6 screws with a length between 10 and 12 mm.

Wiring Requirements

This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any

electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must

cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE

Do not

run signal or communications wires together with power wires in the same conduit. To avoid

interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate and

which bundled together. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be

bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is advisable to label all wires used in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconn

ect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MPC-2240 computer.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes

dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

I

f the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your

equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and

consequently

the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat

build-up within the display:



Position the display within ±40° of the vertical.



Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the displa

y if (a) the display is not positioned

within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or (c) the display is used in a

location with minimal ventilation.

Important Safety Precaution

Even though the display is rated to operate within

the IEC 60945 standard of -15 to 55°C for marine

applications, it is best to ensure

that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will

increase the

life of your display and minimize service costs.

Grounding the MPC-2240 Series

Before you power on the MPC-2240 Series, first

ground it. Proper grounding and wire routing

help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the

ground connection from the ground screw to

the grounding surface prior to connecting the

power.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

MPC-2240 Series Hardware Hardware Connection Description
