Chapter 1 - Introduction

The M-Series are high performance TFT flat panel monitors specifically designed for harsh
industrial environments including Class I & II, Division 2 Hazardous Locations. The monitors accept
standard analog VGA or Digital DVI inputs. They can display VESA video m odes up to 1680 x 10 50 at
75Hz with 16 million color s. An optional 5-w ire analog touch scr een is available that offers both RS -232
and USB interface cap ability. The m onitor is housed in a heavy dut y steel chassis with a powder coate d
machined aluminum bezel. The monitor is c ertified to NEM A 4/4X/12 standar ds, is UL/CUL list ed, meets
CE requirements and is RoHS com pliant. Panel mounting is sim plified using convenient mount ing clips
instead of conventional studs. Options include: a 5-wire analog resistive touch screen or clear Lexan
window, a 304 stainless steel bezel, rack mount bezel (M1900 only), enclosed versions (M1500 and
M1900 only), and 24 volt DC in put power supply (not available on the enclosed o ptions). A ll monitors are
shipped with a power input wiring receptacle, VGA cable, touch screen cable (if equipped), mounting
hardware, manual and driver software.

Chapter 2 - Installation of Computer

Panel Mount M-Series Unit installation

The panel m ount versions of the M-Series are intended to be m ounted in an d used where NEM A
1, NEMA 4/4x and NEM A 12 type enclosures are emplo yed. Enclosures made of heavier gaug e metal
work better because they won’t deform or bend as easily when the monitor’s sealing gasket is
compressed. The monitor meets NEMA 4/12 sealing specifications when properly installed in an
approved NEMA enc losure constructed from 14-gaug e or hea vier ste el. T he com puter uses “U”-shaped
clips and a special gasket to achieve the proper seal.

When selecting an enclos u re r em em ber to allo w ad eq uate s pace ar oun d t h e r ear of the computer
for good air flow. Do not bl oc k air flow from below or a bov e th e monitor. If possibl e mount the computer in
a vertical orientation. T he unit is designed t o work in env ironments up to 5 0 degrees Centigra de ambient
temperature inside the enc losure. Remember to account for heat diss ipated from other equipment that
may be installed inside the same enclosure.

To install the computer , make a cutout accordin g to the diagrams below in one of the walls of
your NEMA enclosure. N ex t hold the u nit in p lace w hile you install t he m ounting clips. T ighten the c lips
to the point where the back of the unit’s front bezel just begins to contact the front of the NEMA
enclosure. The use of an adjustabl e torque driver is recomm ended. The screws s hould b e tightened to 8
inch-pounds. Tighten the clips in a cross pattern. This will help to develop an even pressure on the
sealing gasket. DO NOT OVER TIGHT EN AS DAMAGE CAN RESULT IN THE COM PUTER CAUSING
LOSS OF SEALING INTEGRITY.
