Introduction

Wire and Safety Guidelines

These instructions show how to change the serial address and how to mount InView series signs with NEMA Types 4, 4X, and 12 enclosures. These signs are intended for indoor use only. Type 4 enclosures are intended to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water. Type 4X enclosures are intended to provide a degree of protection against corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water. Type 12 enclosures are in a sealed case that is, dust free, gasketing, and spray down resistant.
Install the InView display conforming to NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA general guidelines, refer to the following.
Careful cable routing helps minimize electrical noise. Route incoming power to the module by a separate path from the communication cables.
TIP
Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit!
Where communication and wire paths must cross, make their intersection perpendicular.
Grounding helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid problems caused by EMI, properly ground all equipment and use shielded cables.
WARNING
1 Publication 2706-UM016D-EN-P - March 2006
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not connect or disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off and area is known to be non-hazardous.

Change the Serial Address

Checkout Procedure

IMPORTANT
A serial address for an InView sign is a number from 1 to 254 in hexadecimal (01 to FE). All signs leave the factory with a default address of 1 or 01.
This serial address is resident in the InView display and is used for RS485 networking. If one of the factory network communications modules are used (2706-Pxxxx), this serial address is typically left at its factory default and the network node or IP address is set in the factory network communication module.
After you install a sign according to the Electrical and Mounting Instructions, make sure the sign is installed properly by applying power to it. The following information should be displayed on the sign.
Power wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Class II and Class III Division 2 wiring methods (Articles 501-4(b), 502-4(b) and 503-3(b) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA70) and in accordance with the local authority having jurisdiction.

Electrical Connections for 2706-P42, 2706-P43 and 2706-P44 Displays

Firmware part number and version letter (xxxx).
Amount of RAM in the sign, (256K).
Serial address of the sign (a number from 01 to FE or from 1 to
254).
WARNING
To connect the 2706-P42, 2706-P43, and 2706-P44 displays:
1. Remove the power supply cover by unscrewing its 6 screws.
Save the screws for a later step.
Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious injury. Always disconnect power to sign prior to servicing.

Hole plugs, top, removed
Wing nuts for hole plugs
TIP
It is recommended that you install power and serial wires at the bottom of the power supply enclosure to reduce noise from power wires crossing serial wires.
You can install the power or serial wires at the top of the enclosure if necessary.
2. Remove the left or right conduit hole plug from the top of the enclosure by removing its wing nut inside the enclosure.
Save the hole plug for a later step.
3. Insert the power wires through the left conduit hole on either the top or the bottom of the sign.
TIP
Use watertight conduit connectors only. Flexible conduit should be used.
Internal serial wires
Insert the power wires into one of
Internal wiring for power supply
these conduits.
4. Strip the wires back 6.35 mm (1/4 in.). Connect the incoming electrical wires.
TIP
Be sure to place the wires so they are not caught by screws when replacing the power supply cover, and also so they do not interfere with fan operation.

See publication 2706-IN007 for more information on RS-485 termination.
TIP
Be sure to place the wires so they are not caught by screws when replacing the power supply cover, and also so they do not interfere with fan operation.
8. To maintain NEMA compliance and to prevent EMI emissions, install hole plugs in any open conduit holes in the power supply enclosure.

Mount the 2706-P42, 2706-P43 and 2706-P44 Displays

If needed, there is an extra hole plug supplied in addition to any hole plugs removed in Step 2 on page 3.
9. Replace the power supply cover using the 6 screws from when the cover was removed.
10. Torque the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
11. Connect the power cable to a power source.
TIP
Only qualified personnel should install the InView signs.
InView signs are for indoor use only and should not be continuously exposed to direct sunlight.
Mounting hardware that is used to hang or suspend signs must be capable of supporting at least 4 times the total weight of any/all signs mounted together.
For integrity of the case, do not drill holes in or modify the case.
Disconnect power before you mount a sign.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious injury. Always disconnect power to sign prior to servicing.

TIP
Do not install the sign directly to drywall or plaster-board. The sign must be fastened to a wall capable of supporting at least four times the weight of the sign.
9. Connect the mounting brackets on each end of the sign together using a 5/16 Phillips screw and a 5/16 washer through the mounting holes, as shown below, securing with a 5/16 nut.
Do not tighten the nut at this time.

To mount the display to the ceiling:
1. Remove one screw from the top of the end cap.
Remove this screw.
2. Line up a ceiling bracket with the top hole on the sign’s end cap so the bracket fits in the indentation.
There are left and right ceiling brackets. Use the one that fits with the screw hole’s countersunk side facing out.
3. Secure the ceiling bracket with the screw removed in Step 1 and torque the screw to 2.7 Nm (24 in-lb).

TIP
Up to 4 signs can be hung together vertically (‘stacked’). Mounting system for stack mounting must support a minimum of four times the total weight of all signs being stacked.
WARNING
Possible crush hazard. Do not stack more than 4 signs. Otherwise signs may fall causing serious injury or death.
To stack the signs:
1. Remove the top screw from each end cap of the bottom sign
2. Use the screw removed in Step 1 to fasten a stacking bracket to
each end cap, countersunk side out, and torque to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
3. Remove the top and bottom screws from each end of the remaining signs.

4. For each end of the signs, secure the stacking bracket from the bottom sign to the next sign using one of the screws removed in Step 3 and torque to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
5. Secure a ceiling bracket to the top of each end cap on the top sign.

Follow the notes in Step 4 of the Ceiling Mount instructions on page 1-9.
Back-to-back Mount
TIP
Remove only one end cap at a time for each sign.
To mount the signs back-to-back:
1. Attach a mounting bracket on each end of the signs and replace the end caps.
Follow Steps 1 to 5 of the Wall Mount instructions.
2. However, replace only the bottom three screws for each end cap and torque the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
Do this for each end of both signs.
TIP
Do NOT fasten the top screws to the end caps. The top screws are used to fasten the ceiling mounting brackets to the end caps in the next step.
Do NOT fasten this screw to the end cap.
Fasten these three screws to each end cap.
3. Attach ceiling mounting brackets to all the end caps and torque the screws to 2.7 Nm (24 lb-in).
See Step 2 of the Ceiling Mount instructions.
