The following statement applies to use in hazardous locations.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Substitution of components may impair suitability for hazardous locations.

Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off and area
is known to be nonhazardous.

Do not connect or disconnect components unless power has been switched
off.

All wiring must comply with N.E.C., NFPA 70 articles 501.4(B), 505.15(C) as
appropriate and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.

Peripheral equipment must be suitable for the location it is used in.

For European Zone 2 and Canadian Ex applications, provisions shall be
made to prevent the rated applied voltage from being exceeded by
transient disturbances of more than 40%.

For European Zone 2 and Canadian Ex applications, non-display computers
must be mounted completely within an enclosure rated IP54 minimum.

Computers with displays must be mounted through the wall or door of an
enclosure rated IP54 minimum. Computers with displays support
enclosures rated up to IP66.

These devices shall be properly connected to ground (protective earth) in
the final application.

Refer to control drawing information in this document for allowable circuit
parameters, in Class I, Division 2 applications. Do not use the USB and PS2
ports in European Zone 2 and Canadian Ex applications unless the area is
known to be nonhazardous.

The computers have a temperature code of T4 135 °C (275 °F) when operating in
50 °C (122 °F) maximum ambient temperature. Do not install the computer in
environments where the explosive atmosphere (for example, gas) has an ignition
temperature less than 135 °C (275 °F).

VersaView 1200P Integrated Display Computers for Hazardous Locations 5

Enclosures

Mount the computer in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal circuitry.
Versions with a gasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 4, 12, and IEC IP66 only when
mounted in a panel or enclosure having an equivalent rating. Versions with an
ungasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 1.

ATTENTION

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. The
enclosure door must be closed.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be
potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other
environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.

Operating the capacitive touchscreen version in a high noise environment may
cause the touchscreen to respond slowly to touch inputs, or may cause the
position of the screen cursor to drift.

This equipment is supplied as "open type" equipment. It must be mounted
within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure
must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure
type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional
installation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.

• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable,
for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure.

Environmental Considerations

Follow these guidelines to help ensure that the computer provides safe and reliable
service.

• Make sure that sufficient space is available around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to
become obstructed.

• Allow enough room within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. The
ambient temperature around the computer must be between 0…50 °C
(32…122 °F). Also consider heat produced by other devices in the
enclosure. You may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air
conditioner to meet this condition in some installations.

TIP

IMPORTANT

• Make sure that the humidity of the ambient air will not exceed specified
limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up very readily. Proper
grounding of the equipment through the ac power cord can help reduce the
likelihood of static discharges, which may cause shocks and damage
electronic components.

• Leave the computer’s enclosure or cover in place at all times during
operation. The cover affords protection against high voltages inside the
computer and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with
other equipment.

Remember that heat rises. The temperature at the top of an enclosure is
often much higher than the rest of the enclosure if air is not circulating.

This product is designed to operate at a range of temperature extremes.
However, it is not good design practice to continuously operate the computer
at the highest end of the specified temperature range.

While the product will operate at its highest specified temperature, the overall
life span of any electronic device is shortened when it operates at its highest
rated temperature.

Operating Systems

The computers are shipped with one of these operating systems:

• Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4 with Update Rollup 1

• Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2b

No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the
service packs.

For your convenience, the I386 source directory for Microsoft Windows is on the
system drive of your computer off the root directory, C:\I386. This allows for easy
removal and addition of Windows components.

Computers with rotating-media hard drives include a recovery partition on the
system drive containing the original factory image. You can use the supplied System
Accessories/Cloning CD to restore the operating system from the recovery partition,
create a new recovery image, and create bootable external recovery media.

Refer to the Cloning Utility documentation, publication 6000-TD001, for
instructions. You can view or download publications at
http:\\literature.rockwellautomation.com.

Computers with solid state drives have been customized to accommodate the
unique properties of the solid state drive. Some of the pre-installed customizations
include:

• no paging file.

• system restore set to zero and disabled.

• DLLCACHE directory emptied.

Computers with solid state hard drives do not contain a recovery partition. If
additional drive space is required, copy the I386 directory to external media; then
delete the I386 directory from C:\I386, which is approximately 400 MB.

To obtain the original factory image on bootable external recovery media, which
also includes the I386 source directory, contact your local technical support center.

Multilingual User Interface CD Pack

The Microsoft Multilingual User Interface (MUI) CD Pack contains a collection of
different language sets that can be installed into the operating system. MUI packs
are available for all Windows XP operating systems and provide a localized start
menu and system icons support.

The instructions for installing MUI languages on your computer are supplied with
the MUI CD Pack.
